Lately I have been really enjoying articles like this about distributed programming, and have been doing some code experiments on my own to learn more about it (using Akka right now). Do you have a roadmap for how someone could get into a

I have been using GQL with a Play! in Scala. If anyone else is thinking about doing GQL in Scala I highly recommend using Sangria [0], its well documented and easy to work with. [0] http://sangria-graphql.org

I think this is less-rare than you think. In my Scala code, I have a lot of matching on weakly-typed values which come from parsing JSON objects (where I also deal with a lot of optional values).

Could you explain this a little bit? I am just getting into Scala, usually I use `sbt run` and `sbt test` while I am working, then `sbt dist` to package my production app. What does `sbt ~ compile` do ?

Do you think the same thing could happen with cloud vendors like AWS?

A friend of mine interviewed for a tech position with the government (Canada). After the first couple screening interviews the subsequent interviews were all held in a hotel room. Similar to your suggestion, the hotel was picked so it was

My team all use macOS, so it was really easy for me to write a CLI in Go (this library [1] is great), and then run go install to create a full-contained binary that I could distribute to everyone. People can put the binary somewhere

I'd like to enrol in a culinary arts class to learn more about cooking! I think a month would be enough time to complete some courses at one of my local colleges.

This has been around for awhile [1]. They give you an API to use and then you upload your JAR. They have a Twitch channel [2] that is constantly streaming AIs playing against each other in their tournament. [1] http://sscaitour

I've followed the professional StarCraft 2 scene for a long time now. There were a few players who were famous for having high APMs, here is an over-the-sholder view of one of them [1]. I don't have a reference but believe he us

Came here to say the same thing. Programming in Scala feels elegant and exciting and all of the projects (Akka, Spark, etc) means that there are always new things to learn. Thanks Martin!

Can anyone recommend a good book about compilers? I just watched Martin Odersky's talk from Scala World [1] where he talks about the new Scala compiler he is working on called Dotty [2], but he talks a bit about other compilers and no

I was wrestling with the same question a few months ago and ended up choosing Scala! I got to learn something new but could still fall back to things I liked about Java.

Use Lambda + PhantomJS + D3 to make a lot of visualizations that are saved as images. It works well but the development was a bit of a pain, and finding a PhantomJS binary that was compatible with Amazon's flavour of linux took a litt

My solution is to pop the spring out of a pen, and wrap the spring around the end of the cable. It achieves the same thing: adds support while still being flexible.
