In spark.core, RNG, specifically, normal distribution RNG.

It caches values (randomly). Now try to reseed.

val text = "\n\n\nHEADER\n\ncontent\n\n"
val cleanedup = text.dropWhile("\n"==)


The bug comes from the universality of jvm equality, I'd say.

(from scala-user)

Can someone tell me whether this "gotcha" is type-unsafe or am I just not realizing something? This bit me in production code today (via java interop).
scala> def x: java.math.BigDecimal = null
x: java.math.BigDecimal

scala> def y = Option[BigDecimal](x) orElse Option[BigDecimal](x)
y: Option[BigDecimal]

scala> for (z <- y) println(z)
java.lang.NullPointerException


Year 2020:
