If you're okay with pointing out that statistically Indians are much more likely to make stupid answers, what's wrong with saying statistically blacks are much more likely to commit crimes.

Choose both or none.

You don't execute all the paths all the time.

The framework is basically the entire Scala runtime. You need a list - you execute that code. Not a biggy

I did, once. But after that one entirely new sessions, they automatically "click" the sign in to google button behind the scenes and log me in with the token.

Very creepy

Quora logs you in automatically if you're logged in to google.

Also makes it extremely hard to log out.

Not to mention they have no respect for users.

I want something very simple. Scala.rx + scalatags.

For those that don't know- scalatags is an amazing html-ish library that allows you to write html once and render both from server and from client. SSR and SPA in one for you cool kids out there.

Not to mention no more misspellings of attributes with strong typed html

Then lightbend should buy Scala.js and scalatags and add a virtual Dom based reactive renderer. (currently string and Dom are available)

Microsoft if you're reading this this is your fault for not marketing enough.

WSL is windows subsystem for Linux. Think of it like this- say you have an 'ls' binary from UNIX machine. You have WSL enabled on your machine in Windows. Windows will start the ls process and the UNIX calls will be handles in windows. (the kernel has mappings).

It's possible, and actually its wonderful experience, to run full "linux" environment right from windows at native speed.

It's not perfect and one of the biggest issues has been file system speed but besides that and some other smaller issues its the absolute best of both worlds- OneNote + excel + outlook + i3

I hope lightbend will spend some marketing dollars when it reaches 1.0!

And OneNote which was hands down the only thing keeping me on windows until wsl came along.

I'm a very satisfied WSL user after having made a switch 3 months back and I cannot imagine going back.

I don't understand the point of selling a DRM free eBook. It's going to be pirated, wouldn't it? What could be some reasons behind him doing so?
