stephen123··on Cloudproxy – hide your scrapers IP behind the cloud
I proxy through an aws lambda. Works well for my lowish rate project. Does anyone else do this?
stephen123··on Securing a Postgres Database
Teleport looks cool. We have a pretty elaborate home grown bastion host setup. Seems like an area that should have more competition. Especially after looking at teleports pricing.

Haoyi has written some excellent libraries and tools for scala. I use ammonite daily. Im sure this book is great!
stephen123··on Sequel Pro – Open source macOS native MySQL GUI client
That bug is so annoying. Push a release!
stephen123··on Comparing Languages for Engineering Server Software: Erlang, Go, and Scala/Akka [pdf]
Not only that, its non blocking. Meaning you can have a very small thread pool with great performance. Think 1 thread per core.
stephen123··on Towards Scala 3
Not only on JVM, scala can be used in the browser with scala.js or without a JVM with scala native.
stephen123··on Wizard for Mac – new kind of statistics program
I video if it in action would be really helpful. Just reading the landing page its hard to know how im supposed to use it. "Just click and explore" isnt very convincing.
stephen123··on Concurrency Limits by Netflix
I would have thought reactive streams or back pressure would be the usual way to deal with this issue.

Is this better ?

stephen123··on Transforming How We Collect and Visualize Information about Urban Accessibility
Haha a site about accessibility doesn't support mobile. All I see is a nice sorry~not~for~you page.

stephen123··on Scala 2.12.3 Released
It seems fine to me. And sbt has made cross compiling so easy. A library author can easily support many scala versions.
stephen123··on Scala 2.12.3 Released
Woohoo
stephen123··on Way Cooler tiling window manager

  Way Cooler is designed from the ground up to be secure. Rust 
  prevents Way Cooler from ever having a data race, dangling 
  pointers, or a segfault. Large classes of security 
  vulnerabilities, such as from buffer overruns or use after 
  free, are a thing of the past.
haha nice selling point. Could add this to any app built with a memory managed language. =P

Its great to see so much good stuff going on in Scala land!
stephen123··on The cost of using different sites on mobile networks around the world
Those page size's are a bit less to what I get in chrome. Must be hard to catch all the dynamic content.

Still a cool site.

stephen123··on LastPass: Security done wrong
I recently switched to 1pass, it's much better
