Yes, I have the same problems. Last time I looked into these pauses, those were mostly GC pauses. At first you feel like moving on a bumpy road with micro-freezes and frame drops -…

I can't disagree more about immature ecosystem. Cats, Scala.js, Shapeless, Akka, reactive streams (Akka Streams, Monix, etc.), Play, Slick and other awesome libs [1] are one of the…

Yes, I am pretty pessimistic. It's getting worse. Today Rostelecom again completely blocked Livejournal, this time without any legal reason, because Navalny's blog was already bloc…

Haaretz verifiable provable lied, but it doesn't matter for you, because it's the oldest Israel newspaper. 3 chief Rabbis of Ukraine and the Association of Jewish Communities of Uk…

Pro-Kremlin astroturfers recently attacked Polish Newsweek [1]. If they care even about _Polish_ web, there are certainly plenty of them in English web. [1] http://swiat.newsweek.p…

Russians were widely represented on Maidan. According to the poll from February, 16% of Maidan spoke Russian at home. [1] There are so much fuss about "fascist" Ukrainians, but sur…

Because you are repeating Russia propaganda. Svoboda is not neo-Nazi, neither it's fascist. It's a nationalistic party, yes, but it's far far far away from being neo-Nazi. Pravyj S…

What a great textbook example of whataboutism. In Ukraine only 5 foreign TV channels were banned -- Vesti, Russia 24, ORT (First Channel World Network), RTR Planet, and NTV World. …
