This whole thing is entirely preposterous.

A new idea: vibe-coding (sorry, it's in Russian - but you do have bots to translate it, right?) vas3k.blog/notes/vibe_c...

Scala3 kindness: def f[T <: AnyKind] = ... //can take f[Int] f[List] f[Map] f[[X] =>> String]

I rarely do predictions but this is an easy enough one to make: Big Tech will bring back onsite interviews for the final round of interviews, flying in candidates. When you pay top of market, AND do hybrid work, in the age of invisible AI helpers, remote interviews are a risk

TIL: `Any` is not a top type in Scala3: "The kind of a type is indicated by the top type of which it is a subtype. Normal types are subtypes of Any, covariant single argument type constructors such as List are subtypes of [+X] =>> Any, and the Map type constructor is a subtype of [X, +Y] =>> Any."

Хорошая табличка, вынесу из комментов.

Ready to push pattern matching to the next level? Tomáš Mikula will show you how to repurpose #Scala pattern matching for deeply embedded DSLs - without compiler modifications or macros. Join Functional World on Feb 19 to learn more! Check out the details: scalac.io/functional-w...

By the way it's still Gulf of Mexico on Wikipedia since the policy is to use recognizable names over "official" names (same reason there's no "William Jefferson Clinton" article). Gulf of America isn't even mentioned as an alt name! There was a ~25k word debate about it last week though of course

Si mañana te mueres, tu jefe en una semana publicará una oferta de trabajo para sustituirte. Tu familia te recordará toda su vida. A lo mejor ha llegado el momento de que te replantees tus prioridades, la forma de ganar dinero y cómo inviertes tu tiempo.

🧪⚒️ A very large earthquake - M7.6 - just struck the Caribbean, about 200 km southwest of the Cayman Islands. The earthquake was widely felt in Honduras, Belize, the Yucatan Peninsula, Jamaica, and Cuba. Tsunami warnings have been issued (see tsunami.gov). 1/

My advice to 10* programmers. Find yourself 9 more jobs and don’t get on your colleagues and management nerves with your amazing speed.

It's almost beautiful in Scala: extension (n: BigInt) def ! : BigInt = if n <= 2 then n else ((n-1)!) * n println((5721!).toString.length)
