Speaking as someone from Edinburgh where the locals are notoriously jaded (ask someone that has lived in edi for a few years what festival shows they went to this year): It's more that we _forget_ rather than never knowing. Asks me wha

Well, sure, it's all relative and no system is perfect. Not every mother is perfect, doesn't mean I escort mine around the house at gunpoint whenever she visits.

Table buckets are currently quite hard to use for a lot of use cases as they _only_ support primitive types. No nested types. Hopefully this will come at some point. Product looks very cool otherwise.

Good point!

Yes _however_ the nodejs benchmark at least is handling each message asynchronously, whereas the go implementation is only handling connections asynchronously. The client fires off all the requests before waiting for a response: https:&#x2

Data is a bit light on the ground given we haven't had masses of EVs for all that long. But I wouldn't necessarily have this expectation based off of phones and laptops. EVs have really high-end battery management systems and cool

Definitely preferable to intersections. A roundabout means there is only one place to look for oncoming cars, rather than potentially 4. Although ideally the crossing on a roundabout should be set back so far they arguably aren't even

The preference for 4 way stops in a country that otherwise prioritises traffic flow so much is really jarring. Traffic lights too to some extent. About 5 years ago my wife an I were doing a California road trip. At one point on a relatively

100% and one of the great things about k8s is that this diagram applies to essentially any application. Standardisation is awesome.

I'm not convinced you read your own links. 1. Is a report on the need to evaluate how prevalent the practice of recycling food scraps from manufacturing as feed actually is, as apparently the FDA (or the author of the report anyway) do

I can immediately think of a counter example: corps vs corpse. Literally from the same word origin, wildly different pronunciation.

Interesting. This is a pretty common criticism of unions in the anglosphere as well -- often alongside a note that the problem has been "solved" in Germany via worker codetermination. Have you found this situation to be universal

Seconded! Odersky is a great lecturer (and very practical lecturer despite Scalas "academic" reputation) and the course was very well organized. I did the course on the first or second run however, not sure if it has been kept up

I think something has been lost in translation here. At least in the US and UK, responding with "Not really" to a statement usually implies that the statement is completely incorrect. As in, you aren't offering a simple corre

It's both... simultaneously. The "feature set" really is smaller than Java or Kotlin (especially if you count in terms of "keywords as features" and ignore things included for Java compatibility). The flexibility th

Really looking forward to this dropping! Writing complex data out of spark jobs is super easy, but getting it back into strongly-typed-Scala has been a big pain point. The experimental release is a bit broken though, encountered a pretty bi

concurrent.futures isn't really _another_ parallel library... its just the standard libraries higher level interface to both the multiprocessing and threading modules. See the PEP: https://www.python.org/dev/peps&

A curriculum of books to go along with these would be great. The thing with online courses / video series is that they can give you a great introduction to the topic, but it is often difficult to know where to go next for a deeper unde

Interesting how the various Scala frameworks have been slipping down the charts from round to round -- an effect of changing methodology?

Back in my uni days, aka not that long ago, the scala (which I love)/perl (which I hate) comparison is what made me realise that language arguments are almost always pointless. Any choice you make in a certain class of language is prob

Does that 'or' method actually exist in a library somewhere or was it just for illustration?
