As we work with the FDA to get clearance, there will be some significant changes to the site. Customers who purchased kits on or after the FDA’s warning letter of November 22nd will not have access to health-related results. Those custome

While I think this is a good idea for smaller data sets, it just isn't feasible for larger data sets that require indices. Having every combination of columns as indices is just hell for the RDBMS. When you are faceting with a large da

It's worth mentioning that I got into Scala because of Akka. Amazing features like remote actors, supervision and more. I also appreciate how active the project is :) https://github.com/akka/akka

I'm concerned that some of your sources are 3.5 years old. Piracy is bound to happen with UGC websites, what really matters is how those sites react. Those sites you listed have done a fairly decent job fending off the illegal content by wa
