I was worried about this as well and found a nice product called CharGon that I've been using since last May, no bristles and it makes short work of cleaning the grill: https://www…

I think it's even worse than that, I suspect there have been a lot of companies like CA that have had their access cut off and have retained the data. FB probably has never done a …

Agreed, I always double check that the browser password manager works, but it's tricky because there is no standard around what the fields should be called to make it always work. …

Great list. I've bookmarked this and already identified many interesting articles to read, in particular your articles on sales should be helpful as that is where I have the least …

happy to see MariaDB getting some investment, hoping it will continue growing.

This made me smile. Good work. ps: a nice big demo button beside 'View on Github' and 'Release Notes' would be a nice tweak :)

what marketing did you try and what did you find really worked? I've got a side project that I'll hopefully be launching this month and I would love some tips.

This was definitely fun to try.

It makes sense to me that larger projects would use forums, just to make sure you don't pollute issues too heavily. TBH when I do interact with projects on github I'm mostly intera…

BE: Scala/akka http FE: Scala.js, SASS, no bootstrap

This is a really excellent article about making and launching things. In particular the notes on how you changed your messaging for different communities is excellent.

my 2 cents. github issues seems to be where most interaction with the community happens. It might be a bit of abuse for their intended purposes but every time I've had a question a…

A quick look at the documentation and it seems like this might hit a sweet spot in replacing Make, is that the intended goal? Also what other builtins are planned?

what types of features do you think would make it more useful for this use case?

This is a great list, thanks for putting this together. As a small feature request it would be great if I could see more of the apps at once, I think infinite scroll or just more a…

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the team at Lightbend. There is a clarity of thinking and expressiveness in Scala that I haven't found in other languages. I…

completely agree. There is a certain beauty to the first version that once you've learned the concepts it seems a shame to have to write the second one.

I haven't tried Go myself and I've been meaning to, but I have spent the last 3 years writing Scala code. Before learning Scala I didn't have any real experience with FP, and I thi…

As a recent new father having my mother and father in law has been extremely helpful. For my wife and I we made a decision to move from NYC to live in the same city as them to star…

Where I sit with the entire thing is that this is a stark lesson in why security is important, and how effective phishing scams are. However, once that information is out there, an…

I've been using Scala professionally for the last few years and really love it. I've also been doing a lot of JS work professionally, so I think I'm going to really dig into Scala.…

This was my thought as well. Then I started thinking about the huge amount of moderation effort to make sure that comment sections stay civil. From where I stand it seems like for …

Hi Alex, Great work. I'm curious how did you get your affiliate programs in place, did you reach out to folks or did they reach out to you?

Thanks for working on such a great idea. I know that Firebug has saved me enormous amounts of time, and it was a big part of my tool chain for a long time.

I'm curious what people think about type checkers in JS. I've been doing full stack development for the last few years and BE development before that. Type safety has always been w…
