Our backend is primarily in Scala and has been for over a decade. My take is that Scala 2 -> 3 was a massive hit to the language's momentum. It came at a time when the language's popularity was waning and it had all the same ch

Did MoonBit add support for some kind of shared memory concurrency like threads? I remember discovering the language, being very excited about it, and then learning it is single-threaded, which makes it a poor replacement for Rust IMHO.

Agreed. There was a period of time roughly 10-15 years ago where symbolic operators in Scala were very en vogue. That fell out of style in a big way and I haven't encountered symbol soup in a very long time. Most of the conversations I

Not confident it's quite that straightforward. Here's a presentation from Meta showing a 6-12% increase in diff throughput for above-median users of agentic coding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OzxYK2-qsI

It's Jujutsu based, but I imagine East River Source Control https://ersc.io/ may be building a GitHub competitor.

From my perspective the two biggest challenges of the Scala 3 migration were macros and poor tooling support. Macros were an experimental Scala 2 feature, but were used all over the Scala ecosystem. Because they were considered experimental

Compiler error messages improved significantly with Scala 3. IIRC there was a dedicated effort with Scala 3 to improve error messages and make them more actionable. Scala 2 error messages improved somewhat over time, but can still be obtuse

Isn't the table sorted alphabetically?

Based on my reading of the table, the PurpleAir II sensors seemed to be the best of the sub $300 for PM1.0 (field R^2 of 0.96 to 0.98) and PM2.5 (field R^2 of 0.93 to 0.97). The PM10 readings were not as good (field R^2 of 0.66 to 0.70). Af

PurpleAir also makes an indoor air quality sensor that measures particulate matter: https://www2.purpleair.com/products/purpleair-pa-i-indoor Not sure how it compares with Awair or laseregg. I have no affiliation with

One thing I'm not totally clear on after reading the article is which AWS account the AWS KMS resides. Is it Slack's AWS account or the customer's?

Similar experience with Dota 2 and ESL on Facebook. The experience was horrible. Viewership was bad. Doesn't seem like anyone was happy about it https://twitter.com/Slasher/status/1071863217243197440 If I rec

Several years ago, I ran into the exact same nausea with the Source engine as the GP, but when I increased the FOV the problem went away. I've run into nausea with other games that have a narrow FOV. Increasing the FOV (when possible)

I imagine there are climates that are better for grass or certain species of grass that are very drought tolerant. However, in my experience, not watering a lawn will kill it. I have a few patches in my lawn that were killed this summer by

If you only have 20% of your time available to write code, then I would much rather you do not review code in which the person who wrote it had 90% or more of their time to write code. The review will be less thorough, correct, and timely t

I understand that both kube2iam and kiam exist and they're both fine. I am interested in Amazon/EKS directly supporting something. Hopefully we will see something soon via CRD or otherwise.

Lucidchart and Lucidpress are large projects that are almost entirely TypeScript on the frontend. The team really likes it. We use TypeScript and Angular that is compiled using Tsickle and the Google Closure Compiler. It's not perfect,

Thirded. There are some exciting things happening in the Scala build tool space right now. We're migrating everything to Bazel right now, including our Scala code. Bazel + Scala is not amazing yet, but so far I have enjoyed it much mor

Is it, though? There are so many other ways that someone might not be a good "fit." Maybe you found another, slightly better candidate who is willing to accept a lower offer. Maybe a manager or individual contributor feels that th

What do I do when I quit my current job, move across the country, and then get fired 30 days later? I would likely never accept an offer at a company that tells me up front there is a good chance I will be let go in 30 or 60 days.

It would be great if many of the games worked like that. Sadly, in my experience, you can report/block someone and then immediately be matched with them again. This is especially true in games like Heroes of the Storm which have smalle

My biggest complaint with Hulu is the watermark/bug they add to everything. It is large, unsightly, and can be very bright compared to the actual content. I signed up for Hulu ad-free premium, but dropped it because of the bug. Broadca

While you may be offended by it, this article didn't invent that ratio. It's been around for years, as far as I can tell. I'm not certain where it came from, but it's pretty normal to use grams per pound when discussing
