I suspect not valid XML though. Which is what the comment was about. Not that I think that's all that important if you're not using XSLT, but just the same, your comment is talking past it a bit.

So you would write functional acceptance tests, and the only thing written down is a Story. If all goes well, maybe you have a happy client at the end of that. If they're OK with costs and time being potentially an order-of-magnitude o

I think you must be responding to someone else. I didn't say anything about a magical world. 25% is not insignificant. And of course the lower on the socioeconomic totem pole you go, the more divorce you find. And when you don't h

That doesn't answer the question. Not having parents to pay for college isn't a "poor choice". Since finances are the leading cause of divorce, it would be reasonable to expect that lower income families have more single

Isn't it fixed though? I thought that was the whole point of the insurance subsidies. You should be able to get healthcare (possibly even better healthcare), even if your employer doesn't provide it. I thought.

Maybe this is a Java developer thing. Everybody decried Ruby's 107 methods on Array. Then Fowler came out with "fluent-interfaces", and how often do you see someone make the claims that Ruby's Array is indicative of a ge

That's just BS and given the size of your axe to grind, you have to know it. Akka? Spray? ScalaUtils? Do they take effort to learn? Yes. Are they anything like scala.collections? No. Why didn't you pick scala.concurrent? Or scala.

The official docs do to. To get the "ugly" signature you have to look at the actual source, or example the method definition in the official docs. They go out of their way to make sure to present an easy-to-understand version for

Good point. Though implicits I feel are so much simpler than many people fear. From a Ruby perspective: Just think of them as operating similarly to Refinements, except not completely insane because there is no global scope at compilation.

I think you just need to hire an experienced Scala Developer for a month or two until your team gets up to speed. It'd be like a c# team having a Ruby app dumped in their lap. You're practically preordained to hate it. ;-) The doc

If you want to make a compelling argument to anyone that actually knows Scala, you need to drop the idea you can make it with scala.collections. Find another altar. This is a complete non-issue for the day-to-day Scala developer. Outside of

Pointing to CBF is a complete straw-man. You're rarely actually going to _see_ that signature (the docs actually simplify it for you), and in practice, it's completely meaningless to 99.9% of Scala you'll ever see. You migh

Just because you aren't aware of them don't mean they don't exist. PEX is very common for new residential/commercial buildings for example. I'd be surprised if municipalities in need of water treatment plant upgrade

To check for that leak they had to have customer service reps, city vehicles, fleet insurance, technicians qualified to work on a live, potentially leaking gas line, gasoline for the vehicle, and they arrived at my home in less time than a

It's like you live in a parallel universe from me. My water, electricity, etc utilities are far more reliable (probably by an order of magnitude) than any private service I've experienced. They don't cut corners in design o

Ticketing system sure. If you have the full history you'd get the original requirements hopefully, and revisions or issues along the way. VCS. Maybe it's just a Web vs Other development thing. The history of an Action in Rails is

No. If the intent behind the source code you're actually looking at is not apparent, then realistically, looking at it's history is probably equally useless. If there aren't tests or specifications to cover the code, I genera

I've heard this so much. Usually from people who reinvent the wheel five times over. I've never seen anyone dig through VCS history to gain a better understanding of code. And since presumably things change because the understan

If I could buy something pre-packaged for $50 I might do it. Being able to roll the printer stand into a corner and leave it there would be nice. Right now I use a $10 app that'll emulate AirPrint on the Mac. Seems to work fine, but I&

For a home printer I love my Konica Minolta MC1600W. Cost <$150 on Amazon, "ink" lasts forever, and replacement toner kit is cheaper than many Inkjet replacements. Plus it's quick, and produces great everything. Probably w

Sorry for the nit-pick, but I think "critically acclaimed" probably fits better than "blockbuster".

I could be wrong, but I thought Coke Zero was just the name for Diet Coke with Sucralose instead of Aspartame.

Ditto. Also unlocking your phone. Rewinding/Fast-forwarding on your phone. It's all so slow. And for me at least, it feels like there's a 50/50 chance if I seek in a video it'll just break the stream, I'll have

Scala is going to be generally more concise than Ruby (which I think most consider fairly concise). So the impression I get from your comment is that this was a fairly large and/or complex project he was attempting to demonstrate. Mayb
