Our goal is a self-sustaining model in which a mix of consulting and product revenue funds development of Unison-based tech well into the distant future. We aim to be cash flow positive as a business in the next 12 months and could use your help in getting there.

We have a consulting group, now open to work in a variety of languages, including Scala, Haskell, Rust, Elm, and of course Unison. More details here: www.unison-lang.org/blog/consult...

Please boost to help get the word out. And we'd love to hear from you if you're interested in working with us!

Do you have links to this new scaladoc? 👀

Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅

(BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

I don't normally post my email newsletter, but I thought this one was a banger: on the dualities between constructor injection, the reader monad, comonads, and effect handlers. If that sounds like your jam: buttondown.com/functionalpr...

Good riddance.

Básicamente por la dirección desde donde te conectas. No tiene mucho misterio. Si viaja a otro país aplican las normas de aquel país, y en general no hay distinciones basadas en dónde se creó la cuenta en el servicio. A veces también se pide geolocalización del dispositivo pero es bastante más raro.

"But but but leaving the public space to the far right is worse than fighting". No, you're playing their game, a game they play at home, while making a rich fascist sympathizer richer. I moved to bsky after removing all of my twitter content. They banned me afterwards for no reason w/o activity.

The newest release of Metals is one step closer to feature parity with IntelliJ! 🎉

Version 1.6.5 can now suggest methods from implicit classes that are not yet imported. This is a long-awaited feature! #scala

Eugene Yokota: sbt 2 0： go big [Scala Days 2025] This is going to be a debut talk of sbt 2.0, a Scala 3 rewrite of sbt, which I have been working on for the last few years (in my free time) with the help of Scala Center and other volunteers. Given that sbt 1.x already exists, and it’s the most widely-used build tool in Scala, we wanted to take big

🤖 sbt 2.0 is a major shift under the hood. This session dives into what’s changing, why it matters, and what “going big” really means.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system. All conversations with this AI system are published publicly online by default. Do not share information you would prefer to keep private.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Voy a intentar contar mi experiencia en la desastrosa (no hay otra forma de llamarlo) ComicCon Malaga, estaba por decir la cutracon pero seria un insluto para la CutreCon

Éxito dice. He leído también "ha desbordado todas las previsiones". Mira no, vendiste todas las entradas hace tiempo, por supuesto que sabías cuánta gente iba y el aforo que necesitabas. Se han querido llenar los bolsillos con un overbooking absolutamente temerario.

Nos ha jodido, hasta tenían aparcamiento reservado para staff en el corte inglés del CC Bahía y entrada al recinto por el lado contrario al populacho 😏

Pues sí. Mi opinión es que si hubieran vendido menos entradas y todos los eventos fueran celebrados en paralelo, con sorteo de reservas (igual que los productos exclusivos de tiendas), se habrían reducido muchísimo las colas y la gente hubiera disfrutado. El año que viene no vuelvo.

Vamos, que el alcalde se ha venido arribísima, porque es lo que le toca como político, decir números a lo loco para que parezca un éxito. En mi opinión no han sabido paralelizar eventos, todo eran colas y carreras, masificación... en vez de sortear y limitar de alguna manera por horas.

Casi 100% que no ha habido 60.000 personas, desde luego no todas a la vez, seguro. Había muchísima gente, yo diría que probablemente entre los 15k y 20k. También es verdad que una buena cantidad, tras ver que había fila única para expositores y auditorios se ha ido, la cola era interminable.

Functional Stream Processing in Scala by Zainab Ali (Early Access) Modern business applications are moving towards incremental processing. We design realtime data pipelines, event-driven architectures, reactive systems, and use stream-based I/O with databases, files ...

📕 Functional Stream Processing has a new release!

"Part2: Handling side effects" has been significantly improved.

Each part now includes a wonderful illustration, featuring the cats of Typelevel contributors. Have fun guessing what they're doing!

Three weeks after acquiring Windsurf, Cognition offers staff the exit door | TechCrunch Cognition is also laying off 30 employees. Those who don't take the buyout are expected to work 80+ hour weeks.

If you're thinking of paying to use Windsurf, I'll leave this here for you to reconsider who's getting your money: techcrunch.com/2025/08/05/t... no work-life balance, six days at office, 80 work hours per week. While others call it crunch and hide it, they're proud to the point of showing off 🤮

Hey @gearboxofficial.bsky.social is it possible that you take a look at Pandora's Box pack selling right now on Steam? I'm unable to buy it as when I'm about to pay it says there are duplicated items in my cart (only contains Pandora's Box) ☹️

Por eso comentaba que probablemente lo que veamos sea una explosión de ecosistemas privados (ocultos a la IA e incluso con honeypots) y de pago para obtener acceso a nuevos conocimientos originales que ya no estarán disponibles en ninguna fuente gratuita. Todo lo abierto al público lo roban.

El agotamiento de fuentes de conocimiento ha comenzado mucho antes de lo que pensaba, con la caída de Stackoverflow. Wikipedia y otras seguirán el mismo camino. Parece como si la gente no quisiera trabajar gratis para corporaciones multimillonarias que no devuelven nada a la sociedad.

And those AI techbros keep pushing further and further, proposing to get rid of any kind of copyright laws, which renders GPL and other licenses useless. We're walking down a path we could name "The Death of (free) Expert Knowledge", the well will be drying so fast...

Stack Overflow seeks rebrand as traffic continues to plummet – which is bad news for developers • DEVCLASS Stack Exchange, the company behind Stack Overflow and other question-and-answer sites, says it is “embarking on a rebrand […]

Wild prediction related to the death of Stackoverflow (devclass.com/2025/05/13/s...): open source, as any other kind of free source of knowledge, will be dead in a few years too due to AI parasitism. We'll see an explosion of paid, closed, expert ecosystems, AI companies won't be able to tap on.

Yo he pillado dos de adulto para el sábado, más una para un niño menor de 13 sin DNI (que creo obligaba a ponerlo aunque no tenga, VEREMOS las pegas, me lo huelo). Salvo un fallo puntual en la plataforma de pago que afortunadamente no me ha tirado, el justificante de compra me ha llegado al rato.
