<Sri19> (scala futures) ... aren't `andThen` and `map` very similar ?
<Sri19> how are they different?
<dibblego> yes they are the same
<dibblego> in general anyway, I haven't looked at scala futures
<dibblego> ugh I just saw scala.actor.Future#map and it is broken
<gseitz> dibblego: look at scala.concurrent.Future
<dibblego> k
<dibblego> it's nice right? today has been a bad day, I cannot take anymore
<Sri19> well .. the signatures for andThen and map sure look different .. i must start paying more attention
<dibblego> fuck
<dibblego> yes so map is broken and andThen is something else that is extremely broken
<dibblego> when I replied yes, I was thinking of scala.Function1, for which andThen is a synonym for what is typically called map
* Sri19 is not sure if dibblego is messing with him or being serious :-s
<dibblego> no I am serious
<dibblego> I cannot do this anymore, sorry
<Sri19> in this essay, maps and andThen are being used in a similar way
<Sri19> http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/futures.html
<Sri19> andThen: Applies the side-effecting function to the result of this future, and returns a new future with the result of this future.
<Sri19> map: Creates a new future by applying a function to the successful result of this future.
<Sri19> me: wtf :-(
<Sri19> still looks the same to me ...
<dibblego> all I can tell you is: L3 man
<Sri19> ?
<stew> heh
* dibblego tokes on a joint
<dibblego> http://www.scala-lang.org/node/8610
<doctau> I think we need to add L4: understands scala library documentation
<doctau> maybe one day I'll be good enough to figure out what the docs mean
<dibblego> did you know that some people have a L6 vertebra?
