There is an infamous library called dispatch. Someone put together http://www.flotsam.nl/dispatch-periodic-table.html to try and help other developers out when using it. I use it because it is good... but hell. The lack of

Scala gives you an excellent way to go about changing your mindset though. I feel like functional logic at a granular level wrapped in OO structures is a very logical way to go about building the kinds of software that Scala is being used f

Maybe, but it's just a generic statement about programming, it has no real value in a critique of Scala specifically. Part of the beauty of any flexible language is you can go back and refactor it down to a more elegant solution as you

I agree there could be a wide initial spread, but I really feel that it would be contained much more efficiently in, for example, the US or UK than is possible in the outbreak areas of Africa, so the outcome would be a lot less catastrophic

In the UK at least if you walk into a store you will find they have a confusing set of badly specced models of brands you probably shouldn't buy at prices you probably shouldn't pay. I give a lot of credit to Apple in keeping thei

If you are in the business of selling you are in the business of removing obstacles blocking me from exchanging my money for your goods. It is absolutely not entitlement to expect that to be an ongoing cycle of improvement. It has been year

Soda is not in contact with your teeth for long enough to cause any damage, the acidity in basically all fruit would be just as bad by any meaningful measure of harm. Carbohydrate snacks like crisps etc are much worse.

It's like the lessons from years of awful Flash UI's have already been lost to history. Also, my browser history was a mess. I'm sorry but no, this has little value in terms of innovation or user experience.
