I've been using Scala since 2009 both professionally and personally, and the Typelevel ecosystem since the scalac fork. Since then I have been trying to contribute libraries in the ecosystem on a regular basis. I currently work at commercetools. I am based in the Paris area in France, and in my free time I like to play board games, TTRPGs, CRPGs, and I read a lot of comic books (mostly European and American).

I landed on the idea for SET Active in 2017 during a time when no one was really reframing the entire activewear category. Everyone was marketing to the fitness girl or very technical niche worlds, and no one was speaking to the girl on the go and showing how activewear can move with her through the entire day. That worked until competitors caught on. Now, we differentiate through relentless innovation.

Christopher T. Hewitt, a lifelong Staten Islander who fed, cared for, and quietly held up his community through decades in the food business, died suddenly at his home in Sunnyside. He was 50. Hewitt's path into food began in the produce department of the old A&P in New Dorp, where he worked as a teenager. He went on to spend years on the East Shore at Delfini's and Top Tomato, gaining the hands-on experience that shaped his career, particularly at Delfini's. In the early 2000s, he owned The Misty Lounge, a Grant City neighborhood bar he ran with friends.

Several photographers, entrepreneurs, sportspeople and musicians lived in the area Eric Clapton's house was just around the corner. Although I never quite got over answering the phone to someone asking for Mick and I made the mistake of asking Mick who? The champagne lock-ins were legendary but not limited to the rich and famous. Plumbers and painters and the local bobby shared the bar with industrialists and faces.

When I arrived at Liberty Tiny Village on a warmer than usual day in November, I thought I knew exactly what to expect. The resort-style, 55-and-older tiny home community in Aubrey, Texas, markets itself as an upscale community for retirees or soon-to-be retirees ready to shed decades of belongings in exchange for a smaller, freer way of living. But that's only part of the story. That afternoon, I sat with two neighbors, widows Debbie Giamalva a retired intensive care nurse, and Sherry Miller, a retired English teacher.

Since opening in October 1987, Coffee Gallery has been part of Haleiwa's history and daily life. Over the decades, we welcomed locals and visitors from around the world, and saw multiple generations return through our doors. What began as a coffee shop became a place for connection, memories, and community,

But instead, they find their way to a small studio, where they join 27 others in strapping on a pair of high heels and throwing themselves into two hours of dance moves. This is the beginners heels class at Vibe Dance Studio, which was started by Izzy Gonzales and her dad Ed four years ago. It's a place where people can show up exhausted, but end up with so much energy they don't want to go home.

Unlike most popular sports, the origin of basketball has a precise year and creator: it was invented in 1891 in the United States by Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith as an indoor sport for athletes at Springfield College during the winter, after the end of the football season. The sport quickly expanded beyond U.S. borders, being included in the Olympic Games in 1936 and achieving international popularity after the Second World War.

"Supernatural is amazing, but I am canceling it because of this," Chip told me.

Alvim Kindergarten is located in the Alvim district of Sarpsborg, Norway a neighborhood characterized by social challenges, with many low-income families and limited childcare options. The project consists of a two-storey extension and remodeling of the existing 1970s building. Despite tight budgets and a compressed schedule, the kindergarten was completed in just one year, from site acquisition to opening day, in time for the start of the school year.

The drive to Bowral in New South Wales takes you through some of Australia's most English countryside. Pastoral hills roll right up to the roadside and finish in grassy verges, flecked with yellow and white wildflowers. Alliums stand sentinel around vibrant lawns. Even the eucalypts are cosplaying as beech and oaks. You might be in Hampshire, if it weren't for the dazzling sun. Just a few roads from the high street storefronts full of fancy cookware and country casuals is the Bradman Oval.

On TikTok, creator @madelinemariejg said, "Something we need to bring back as a society is having people over to your house." And it doesn't necessarily mean hosting a major party or fancy dinner, either. Instead, the vibe for the new year is all about "inviting people over for tea, for coffee, for lunch," she said, and not making a big deal about it.

"We've been open since March 23, 2023. We're getting ready to have our third anniversary this coming March, which is really exciting," Boyd told Brooklyn Paper.

I have a lot of respect for Morgan, so was disappointed to hear him say this: Everyone I know who retired early has gone back to work. My experience has been almost the exact opposite of Morgan's. I know plenty early retirees and almost none have gone back to work. Those that have went back to work on interesting projects on their own terms. But also, I live in a bubble.

When Mike Moretti opened "The Art of Picture Framing", a friend of his, who owned a demolition business and just finished a job, approached him and asked if he wanted a pinball machine for his breakroom. "I was like, 'oh man, no, they're really heavy,'" Moretti said. "My crew just needs to focus on getting work done." Moretti would later hire his friend's son, and when his friend, John, passed away a few years later, Moretti was again asked about the pinball machine.
