Right, yes, I read "the future of Scala" but that isn't what it said at all. My mistake entirely, you're absolutely correct. On the other hand, I stand by my "not working on Scala" comment. This is based on com

It also means that the main designer of the Scala language is not working on Scala but on a language that will "eventually" become the future of Scala, which means that, right now, dotty is not the future of Scala. A lot of very

Well, dot already stands for both graphviz and Microsoft DOc Template, so there already is some level of confusion there.

I'm not going to comment on the content of your posts - others have done that. But you might want to check your tone. You sound like a petulant teenager offended by the mere notion that someone might think you wrong. It honestly makes

I often liken NoSQL databases to dynamically typed languages. With a NoSQL database, you have an implicit schema, but it will only be enforced and fail at runtime - when your code expects a field but failed to find it, for instance. With a

If it's the case, somebody at Apple is seriously incompetent. - Copy files that don't belong to them without the owner's explicit permission: some people call that piracy. I believe individuals caught doing that with movies h

Relevant: https://www.facebook.com/ed.greenwood.142/posts/101567465225... Essentially, you may feel it's out of touch with the rest of the game, but it's definitely in line with the universe in which t

"actually, it's about ethics in heroic adventuring"? Really? Couldn't care less about the transgender character - there's a character, he/she changed gender, who cares when there's presumably a fire breath

You're not wrong, but I'll take self motivated good deeds over apathy any day.

I think it's pretty clear he'd consider your job not worth the effort - that's his entire point, isn't it?

Thanks, that's essentially the answer I was about to write. I think the main disagreement here is that OP considers hiring him to be a privilege where parent considers being hired by him to be one. As long as parent is OK missing out o

Nobody demanded anything of him - they just chose to ignore someone that, frankly, sounds like a 12 years old troll more than a competent individual trying to point out an important issue. He wants people to pay attention to him and his i

There's a fairly obvious distinction between not sharing someone's values and asserting that someone is a sub-human and should have lower rights due to not being of the right color. I'm fine with working with people whose don

Has it occurred to you it's entirely possible that some people at typelevel are black? And you're saying that yes, they should interact with and condone the views of someone that would see them enslaved and feels they are inhere

No, they are cancelling an event because they feel holding it would endorse views they find disgusting. You might not agree that it does, or that the views are disgusting, but that is irrelevant to their decision. The only people truly inco

But typelevel has not cancelled lambdaconf, nor asked for it to be cancelled or even change its speakers lineup. They decided not to hold another event that was affiliated with lambdaconf. If we're going to keep running with this tha

by nrinaudo 11y ago
What are you going on about? typelevel had another conference organised outside of lambdaconf. It's affiliated with it, but doesn't happen at the same time - the idea being that you could come for lambdaconf, but take the oppo

Oh, sure, I wasn't really commenting on the original story but on the parent's assertion that it'd also get you fired in Europe, which I think is either untrue or too general a statement. Firing a single mom for needing to ta

I was under the impression that her trial period, or the american equivalent if there's such a thing, was long since finished. If that assumption is incorrect, I agree that taking sudden unpaid leave during one's trial period is d

I don't know about the rest of EU, but I currently work in France and I'd be shocked if someone were fired because they took half a day off with little to no notice for serious health or family reasons. If anything, the company

Without any sarcasm of any kind, I expect I must be missing the point of what you linked and would love for you to clarify it. What I understood was, changing the way time is handled for your entire Ruby process in order to test that some

I don't understand how this is harder in a statically typed language. The only explanation I can think of is that the type system makes it harder to write incorrect tests by refusing anything that doesn't make sense, from a type

by nrinaudo 11y ago
While I see your point, if you ever find yourself wishing for monkey patching while writing a test in a statically typed language, it's a code smell. You've not abstracted things enough. If you need to modify things that way but c

As far as I'm concerned, the discussion I'm referring to started with this comment from realharo: "Usually if you need a bunch of differently-typed objects to fulfill the same contract, you can just make them implement an int

That's exactly it: they're a good solution to the problem, but since type classes work specifically by avoiding subtype polymorphism (and are instead a mix of parametric and ad hoc polymorphism), they cannot be part of a discussio

I... don't actually understand why you would ask that question. How do type classes help, one way or the other, when the discussion is "duck typing cannot (always) be replaced in static languages by having various types extend a c
