@gilesp Sounds like a lot of work - extra classes & their tests to write. I don't think I've often had big problems caused by wanting to change a collection type late in the day. "Never exposing mutable collections" seems like it might get you most of the benefits for less effort.

@gilesp Strawberry Nesquick with a bit of extra sugar mixed in. Put in in the squirty syringe dispenser thingy and they’ll never know. :-)

@gilesp @s_a_jones This is why your future lies in agile coaching and not knee physiotherapy.

@matmannion And 99% of the remaining 1% that this doesn't solve, would be best done with a monolith written in Java or C#.

Kubernetes and microservices might be a good fit for the last 0.01%

@gilesp @pugnascotia OTOH, if your usage pattern is like mine you'll only reboot once a quarter or so (for OS patches). So it might not be that much of an issue...

@gilesp @pugnascotia AIUI, most bluetooth devices don't work at login if you have FileVault enabled (because the OS disk isn't decrypted yet). USB keyboards and monitors _ought_ to just work though. Weird.

@gilesp The "British (PC 105 Alt)" layout worked best for me. Failing that, mac-layout keyboards with decent clicky switches are available...

@yatesco @chrisoldwood https://t.co/HmtNe80Lo3 ? I used this on a previous project and it "just worked"; I don't remember having to do anything to wait for it to start up

@gilesp On a Wave of Matt Emulsion?

[Chris May @chrismay]

@gilesp The new downstairs shower is a *feature*, not a bug!

[Chris May @chrismay]

@yatesco @noelbaron @idiot_girl @bphogan The issue (I think) is not that "dogsbody" means something different, it's that you listed it as a pronoun, when it clearly isn't a pronoun - which makes it seem like you're *mocking* the idea of preferred pronouns.

@gilesp Commissions, you say? As a well known social media influencer; in exchange for one of your pieces, I am willing to extensively promote your work to my 14 followers.

@ramnivas @yatesco @scala_lang @kotlin @typescript @reasonml @vaadin @scala_js Hmm; maybe I'll give it a try :-) . Sure would be nice to be able to write scala on the front-end as well as the server! What's the debugger support like?

[Chris May @chrismay]

@ramnivas @yatesco @scala_lang @kotlin @typescript @reasonml @vaadin @scala_js Sticking with the most commonly used langs (js / ts) gives a better chance that someone else has already found and fixed any surprises.

[Chris May @chrismay]

@yatesco @scala_lang @kotlin @typescript @reasonml @vaadin On the server, if you like redux, then try Axon.

[Chris May @chrismay]

@yatesco ... he said, without offering any evidence to support his claim... ;-)

[Chris May @chrismay]

@yatesco Haha; snap! (Except I don't have to sing)

@yatesco @chrisoldwood ...(The pBone, on the other hand, is a great bit of kit and perfectly serviceable for gigs where you're not too sensitive to tone quality. And it doesn't freeze on your face when carolling!)
