tlockney / Foo.java
Created June 13, 2014 01:10
A simple example where basic String concatenation in Java is really better than a StringBuilder.
public class Foo {
static final String aConstant = "a constant";
public void concatSimpleString() {
String aString = "one" + aConstant + "two";
}
public void concatWithStringBuilder() {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

This setup allows for quick hacking with an sbt console on an EC2 instance -- very useful for trying out the AWS APIs when you need to try things out. As an example, I wanted to make sure I understood how to get the various bits of meta-data that are visible only on EC2. Create the following files and run setup.sh to run everything.
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "dummy"
config.vm.provider :aws do |aws, override|
aws.access_key_id = "..."
aws.secret_access_key = "..."
# you'll need to create the EC2 keypair used here -- I called it vagrant for easy tracking
aws.keypair_name = "vagrant"
# you'll want to use a group that has at least SSH open

tlockney / actor.scala

While immutable data structures are preferable in Scala, it's not always obvious how to utilize them inside of an Akka actor when you need the actor to be stateful. Thankfully, Akka provides some help here, by use of the become method, which is designed to update the behavior of an actor. Scala supports closures, so we can pass the new state in …
import akka.actor.Actor
// Following the common Akka pattern of defining the messaging
// protocol in the companion object
object SampleActor {
case object GetState
case class UpdateState(key: String, value: String)
}
class SampleActor extends Actor {
