  1. @yojibee Often on UNIX with unconfigured port in /etc/services, a client connection can take up a port. What do netstat/telnet show?
  2. .@etorreborre typing speed was never a limiting factor in coding, but then Dvorak is also not only about speed, but to ease wrist strain
  3. @etorreborre programming languages have different symbol distribution, difficult to change since finger memory short-circuits thought.
  4. @etorreborre Dvorak took longer than expected to really feel comfortable with, but the real trouble started when my fingers forgot QWERTY.
  5. @yojibee *not* a colon, but space between host and port. Yeah, it's tricky. If it hangs or dumps garbage, port is open. Else, error message.
  6. @yojibee "telnet localhost 8080" should prove if it's open or not
  7. @yojibee What does "more turnkey" mean, you turn more keys? or you must turn the key more? :-P
  8. I'm wondering why Google didn't publish a comic this time.
  9. Damn. "Your free trial to Last.fm Radio has ended. Subscribe to continue listening to non-stop, personalised radio." Move to UK, US or DE?
  10. @tylerweir They want to make their messages look human by copying messages from humans. It makes some sense, but huh, random copying?
  11. @mitchblevins re: Twitter API url, here's the docs: http://is.gd/1qNNg re: ugly, agreed, try desktop client.
  12. RT @mitchblevins Trying to run the new #esme ScalaInterpreter through the iPhone, to have an ultimate mobile REPL. << insecure, but useful
  13. @eishay Thanks for the info, I'm warming up to the idea I have to eventually take my family to another continent... but can't wait forever.
  14. @michaelg Was just wondering if Twitter is the only place to look for Scala-related job. Not that I have hope of finding one where I live...
  15. @etorreborre Yeah, the @jstrachan comment made a splash. I predict a flame war between Groovy and Scala fans is coming...
  16. @boristerzic Well, I wouldn't want to get stuck with the old Java collections. If you want immutability, how do you keep interoperability?
  17. @boristerzic Unfortunately collections interoperability is also not smooth: Scala collections must be converted before using from Java.
  18. @boristerzic In Scala it's recommended to use scala.Enumeration or, even better, case classes.
  19. But it doesn't make sense to occupy someone's time for a trivial task you can easily do yourself (remember Frederick Brooks?)
  20. It's enjoyable working with others, what you learn from each other will usually offset current lack of productivity.
