Yes, Virginia, Scala is hard
Let me first say that I am a Scala lover and have been a Scala champion for almost 5 years. I've written books and articles on Scala. I've worked with dozens of companies that have launched Scala and Lift projects. I've code reviewed many dozens of Scala projects.I used to think that Scala was easy. It was, and continues to be, a cure for some of the numerous problems with Java. From the "stuff that's hard or impossible in Java is simple in Scala," Scala is a very e...

I'm also not talking about the super...

Some tricks on PHP session
1. Session timeout problem There is a nuance we found with session timing out although the user is still active in the session. The problem has to do with never modifying the session variable. The GC will clear the session data files based on their last modification time. Thus if you never modify the session, you simply read from it, then the GC will eventually clean up. To prevent this you need to ensure that your session is modified within the GC delete time. You can accomp...

Open Letter to sites with annoying interfaces
Remember those childhood games where you are given two nearly identical images and your objective was to find some number of subtle differences? Well, I shouldn't have to play that game when I'm using your damn website. I show here two examples of a common practice that is plaguing the modern web. First, a clipping from a project page on github.com. And now the second image: See the difference? My question is this: why? That edit button is the only component of...
