I've heard that too but I think there are at least efforts to support Scala 3. Having said that I think Quill looks nicer ( https://getquill.io/ ) if you want a DSL like that.

From a political perspective, yes for sure. From a technical perspective, less so. The Cats ecosystem and ZIO are meaningfully different with their designs that the two evolving se…

There's probably a nicer way (or more performant at least), but I created a function that uses the built-in `uuid_generate_v1mc` and then reverse the order of the time component so…

I like ordered UUIDs, but if you care about 100% strict and accurate ordering you need to be careful about generating them in app code vs. on the DB side. With the former + using m…

Not in the standard library. Kotlin went with specific language features to achieve null safety: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/null-safety.html Personally, being able to so…

F# is quite nice. I used it a long time ago for a couple of libraries when I was working in a team that mostly used C#. Fable looks really cool too. I remember getting the feeling …

There is that, yeah. There was a lot of translating things from Haskell to Scala 1:1, and that didn't always work out so well. Well, actually it does mostly work on a technical lev…

I don't know the whole story. Perhaps somebody who knows can chime in. But my impression is that Android being stuck basically on pre-Java 8 at the time while Scala relying heavily…

I often see comparisons to Go, Kotlin, Rust, etc, and I agree that it's unlikely for Scala to have a second renaissance and have an steep upward trajectory like those languages, bu…

Not too sure about the case in the article and if relates exactly, but it made me think about spaced-reptition systems. I aim for a 80-90% success rate as I've found that to be the…

While I wouldn't say it's THAT significant, there is one other advantage to fixed-width fonts that I've experienced. Due to the fact that they align vertically, sometimes they expo…

Interesting, I assumed it was the carrier, but it might be the model. I have a Galaxy S7 which I got in Hong Kong. With this variant, I can't find the emergency alert settings anyw…

I don't know either, but I got the alert through Yahoo's 防災速報 app. I'm on an MVNO, so I don't think I would have gotten the alert otherwise.

If they're limiting APM to that of human levels, I don't see it being much of an issue though. APM would just be a limited resource like any other. In fact, I sort of want to see h…

Personally, I think focusing on BW would have been more interesting (as long as the APM limit still stands), but I guess SC2 is alright too. The fact that they're even doing this t…

There might be better sources, but here are two that I know of: https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/10/19/reactiflux-... http://blog.freecodecamp.com/2015/06/so-yeah-we-trie…

The fact that Slack has made it clear they don't intend to support large open source projects is the biggest thing in my opinion. Reactiflux was basically forced off Slack for gett…

Yeah, I saw that. :) This is impressive. I wish I knew about this project sooner. I didn't see this project on the Clojure subreddit, so I shared it there in case others haven't se…

Awesome, that would be great. Thanks! I see you even hosted a micro tournament recently. I didn't know that was a thing. How did it go? So there's at least some interest for that i…

This is great, thanks! The fact that it's possible to get started in Clojure, I no longer have any excuses to not try this. Having an interactive REPL seems like it would be helpfu…

While I was watching some of these replays, I was thinking to myself of all the things a bot needs to keep track of and all the things it could potentially try, and it just seemed …

Yeah, you see this in a lot of sports actually. I feel the biggest differentiator is whether there's a players union or not. The Minors appear to not have their own (I did not know…

It's good knowledge to have before going to Japan, but encountering a Japanese person who would actually be offended if you were to offer a tip would be quite rare, I think. They'r…
