If you’re at @JupyterCon and want to discuss anything Scala, find me there or send me a DM.
A lot of things changed recently in the Scala tooling ecosystem, and so will Almond!

1/18 Je me rends compte de l'ironie de la situation: un prisonnier politique russe s'adresse aux électeurs français. Mais techniquement, je suis en prison à cause d’une plainte déposée par une entreprise française.

1/16A Russian political prisoner addressing the voters of France is quite ironic. But technically, I'm in jail due to a criminal complaint by a French company; I studied 🇫🇷 at university and wear a scarf whenever I come to Paris. France is close to my heart, so I'll give it a try

Imo just use constructor arguments. Reader doesn't make sense in scala

After ~7 years, and 3 great teams and roles including management, today was my last day at Apple. I worked with incredible people, many of them became my friends. I learned a lot and grew a lot. So naturally I am sad, but also very excited with what comes next.

Noooo, don't blame the intern, even if it's anonymously. If someone is to blame, it's the broader team for not creating the guardrails or process to prevent an intern from shipping this error.

We mistakenly sent out an empty test email to a portion of our HBO Max mailing list this evening. We apologize for the inconvenience, and as the jokes pile in, yes, it was the intern. No, really. And we’re helping them through it. ❤️

There is still so much we don't know about covid-19. What else could explain those ratings...

The #Web is changing fast and @Apple has figured that out, as demonstrated by their use of #RDF for Product #KnowledgeGraph deployment using #HTML. This includes a machine-readable #FAQ per product e.g., the new #iPad page.

On a purely technical and personal point of view, I just don't see the appeal in the super monad ZIO approach. Its design feels all-or-nothing and it just doesn't feel right. I do find the openness and the precision allowed by the typeclass approach in cats much more liberating.

And I can't thank enough the community of library authors writing their software in terms of the cats-* typeclasses, and participating in its design. cats-effects 3 is freaking awesome. #scala
