You're ignoring the biggest part of SaaS as far as management is concerned. There's a large, stable entity that management can sue if something goes very wrong.

I hate that it's a method. That can get lost in a method chain easily enough during a code review. A function or a keyword would interrupt that and make it less tempting

You're not wrong, but I'm also constantly surprised at places where devs will inject complexity. A former project that had a codec system for serializing objects that involved scala implicits comes to mind. It involved a significa

It also means that China can expect the destruction of Taiwan's fabs to hurt the US less than China. Combine that with the US's ability to unilaterally destroy Taiwan's fabs, and it sways the calculation a bit

When people not super into hardware say Moore's Law, they mean Dennard Scaling. Which did roughly end in the mid 2000s. That's why we've spent so much time parallelizing in the past 20 years rather than just expecting increas

That makes perfect sense for people that need to scale. But doesn't explain why newer start ups aren't using it. Doing things that don't scale is a proven strategy at the beginning, pg even has a post about it https:/&#

My team uses it for geospatial data. We rasterize slippy map tiles and then do a raster summary on the gpu. It's a weird case, but the pixels can be processed independently for most of it, so it works pretty well. Then the rows can be

I'm not sure what you consider a decent scala ide, but it was a problem with IntelliJ in several of our code bases, and I'd have to crawl the implicit resolution path. I eventually opted to desugaring the scala completely, but we

As a veteran of a large scala project (which was re-written in go, so I'm not unbiased), no. I was generally not happy. This was scala 2, so implicit resolution lookup was a big chunk of the problem. There's nothing at the call si
