Irish

OOP and FP are not mutually exclusive.

Inheritance over composition, Internal class state, Imperative state mutations

Only the last one is important. Internal state can exist in FP its just either immutable or private. I think even hardcore OOP people encourage composition over inheritance as much as possible and class based inheritance is not anti-thetical to FP (see scala)

exactly, if its a java dev you are re-training their solutions will probably java in Scala, if its a javascript or haskell dev they would different probably. Whats interesting to me at least is if its someone with no previous experience.

only if you believe the java way is the simplest way.....which I don't think is true

european space agency is/was actively hiring scala devs specifically

nah

Anyone in europe having trouble with github this morning? I cant get bower to install and it fails with cannot connect to github error, status page seems to suggest everything is working

What was their decision?

I wasn't making an argument but I see where you are coming from. with your bank card analogy, at least here in Ireland there is no liability on the account holder for theft or fraud anymore so even if you don't keep those things safe the bank takes the hit. That seems to be the strategy amazon is taking at the moment, if that gets too expensive for them i am sure they will invest in another layer of protection. Now that I think about it it also seems like this is an opportunity to win the loyalty of a customer. By contacting them, explaining the problem and the solution and then by waiving potentially large charges from their account without hassle they are garnering a lot of trust. Just a random thought that popped into my head

keeping your credentials safe instead of relying on amazon sounds a lot easier to me

I don't think the foreign country would care unless it was data that was owned or related to an entity in that country.

Its an american owned and operated data center in Irelend (where I live). Presumably the email is 'owned' by an american and the case involves all american actors(cant really make that assumption I guess) so there dosn't seem to be anything to spark the interest of the Irish legislature. Unless you make the leap to the point that now america can just demand ALL the data in that data center which you certainly could.

This isn't really the same as a warrant either is it? They are not demanding to be allowed access to or to search the data center. Microsoft in America is being ordered to hand over a document that they have access to, where that document is seems irrelevant (just playing devils advocate).

Also the chances of any small to medium sized nation (particularly Ireland) getting on their high horses about this is quite unlikely due to the amount of money these large multi-nationals bring here. In fact if this is upheld I imagine it would be another boon for Ireland as the american companies will have to set up even more infrastructure so that they can argue that its a completely separate entity that they simply funnel customers to or whatever. If the companies act first they could even get favorable Irish legislation passed to prevent the type of treaty talked about in the article (although this would be a pretty ballsy move for Ireland)

I didn't down vote you but my initial reaction to your comment was can we please have a conversation related to development without dragging sex into it? I would guess that many had the same reaction.

Discrimination is an issue in Tech, its not the only issue or an issue which relates to every other issues it is an issue, singular.

Jaysus lads lighten up

You are right I left out a bit. The woman took a screenshot of the abuse and tweeted it to his employers asking them were they happy to employ someone like that.

That really is the gist of it.

a man called a woman a ct on the internet and lost his job. Actually I don't know what the rules are here so I will just censor the word

Its a legitimate disgrace that companies play into this bullshit. The idea that someone can send an out of context screenshot to a company that results in someone losing their job is unbelievable.

If there was even a slight link to the workplace I could completely understand.

This person didn't do anything illegal, at worst he was rude and foul mouthed but because there is an issue in tech, unrelated to him accept that he is seen as the embodiment of the oppressor, he has lost his job and possibly his career. Potentially a family has lost an income that might never be regained.

Someone being fired should be a huge and painful decision for a company not one taken willy nilly over the weekend because someone got offended over something on the internet.

I think this sort of thing does a dis-service to the 'women in tech' movement at large because it is effectively an abuse of the power they are given by the sentiment that there is in fact a problem with inequality and attitudes in the workplace.
