I have been coding in Scala/ Haskell for the last 10 years, before that 15 years in Java. What I'm seeing is that there are as many lazy developers in FP as there are in Java, maybe even more. And despite all the nice safeguards t

This is why you should have code reviews. Letting juniors submit code without reviewing it is a recipe for disaster, no matter which language you are programming in. And if it's a senior, well someone should have a word with him ..

Exception based error handling is unsafe when they are unchecked exceptions. Checked exceptions however are as safe as Either, Try, Monads, Applicatives or whatever. You are forced to declare them in your method signature, the caller is for

Amazing. I have seen this list popping up in my LinkedIn feed for more than a year already and it keeps coming back. While any benchmark is of course interesting when considered on its own, the conclusions that people draw from this list te

Every time I fall into the trap of scrolling through the LinkedIn news feed, I end up losing faith in humanity. What LinkedIn has decided that I want to see is a mix of conspiracy theories and narcistic self promotions; and under every post

No, the market is surprisingly slow with this. Sure, there are some professional traders that react very quickly. But it appears that there are masses of investors that get to learn the news very late, or only react when they hear from othe

Lol. If I'm reading the article properly, renewable energy production actually went -down- in 2023 compared to 2022: 97TW compared to 99TW one year earlier. But: non-renewable energy production in GE went down even more, due to, amongs

At least we can take comfort in the fact that this computing power was used to support a platform popular with speculators, money launders, drug traders and ransom ware exploiters.

How does this cut down on boilerplate? The examples given on the website seem equally long. assertNotEmpty(getHttpContent(createSharedUrl(website, "styles.css"))); vs website.createSharedUrl("styles.css").getHttpContent(

I suspect that this is only the tip of the iceberg. Probably many more companies have been contaminating the environment with PFAS during the decades when it was not yet forbidden. If we would take PFAS samples across the country I bet that

This is a great argument, except that the extra space that makes the building so efficient compared to a cube, is space that mostly can't be used.

Add to that a complete lack of empathy with regards to the people who will be supposed to live or work in the building. (the only people left living in the sphere homes are students and a few other young people with low income) This is why

Agreed. I'm using Idea for Scala development, but Scala support seems to get worse every year. The new features that each update brings I don't need, all that happens is that Idea gets more and more bloated.

As I understand it, fixing inflation has never had much priority for the Erdogan government. They don't raise interest rates because raising them would slow down their internal economy. Downside is the devaluation of the Lira, but this

I know, I live in Europe. But where I live in Europe we were simply following the pattern from the US; once the lab leak theory was linked to Trump, people supporting it were seen as Trump supporters. Trump isn't very popular in Europe

The problem was that the epidemic started in the middle of the US election campaign. At some point the Trump team started to support the lab leak theory. And then it became political; Biden supporters started framing them as conspiracy theo

Frameworks such as Spring used to be much more like this, until the annotation hype started to kick in somewhere around 2010. I always thought this was a bad idea. Sure, annotations work nice in a small demo app, but in a large application

Assembly was one of the first languages that I wrote in when I learned to program in the 80's, simply because other languages were too slow to develop games and other stuff. Since then I've switched to Pascal, Java, Scala, Python
