  • Thanks that's helpful and maps to how I'm thinking it might be useful

  • I only see hunter2 what do you see?

  • It got this foothold pre-spark, largely due to the akka and typesafe/lightbend ecosystem. Then spark resulted in a lot of data engineers picking up scala (this was my entrance, from the Hadoop map/reduce world). And now cats/zio and effect systems have rounded it out.

    Personally I love scala, my teams use it heavily (mix of styles but mostly zio-http, and a lot of spark). But scala3/dotty has been problematic enough for us that we decreed people stop updating their apps. The learning curve is HIGH (esp for functional/effect system scala). The candidate pool is small. I don't know that if I were to start a greenfield project (without all the rest of the platform already using it) I would suggest we use scala. But the rest of our platform does, and we have tooling, and L&D tracks, etc. So onwards we go.

    Long time sf bay resident I think best east bay Detroit style is fat apples in Berkeley or El cerrito. (And since it keeps coming up in the comments, best east bay deep dish/chicago style is little star over Zachary's, I live between the two off solano and stand firm in this decision)

  • My own experience is it can be even worse because then the labor exploitation comes with a side of moral guilt complex. It's not just corporate "we're a family" bs but that plus "we're saving the earth" x1000

  • I just finished this yesterday! Great read esp since I'm right around the same age as the main characters all the gaming nostalgia rang particularly true to me.

  • I remember my Diablo guild all moved over to UO by beginning of 98. Great times, but jesus christ did I waste a lot of hours playing that.

  • The title suggests per day to me but the graph I'm quite sure is cumulative based on other data

  • I think the opportunity is more interesting though for apps to provide a federated multi-community experience seamlessly. E.g. a/technology shows me an intermingled feed of all the c/technology communities that my home instance federated with
