Rebooting an EC2 instance never causes you to lose your data (no matter what type of storage you pick). EC2 has two types of storage: local disk "ephemeral/instance storage" and network storage "EBS". Digital Ocean only…
A reboot doesn't cause you to lose data on your ephemeral storage. I think you mean "stopping" an instance and then "starting" it again (on another host), not rebooting it.
If you shut down your server you lose the data that was stored on the local drives, no different to DO. If you shut down your droplet on DO you lose the data stored on the local drives (in fact DO now scrubs the disks…
The post made the front page on HN a couple of months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7016735. DO staff seem to spend quite a bit of time responding to threads on HN in general, so that would be surprising.
apply is the function called when you use brackets and nothing else e.g. val x = myMap("myKey")

It made perfect sense to me, perhaps because I code in Scala for a living (even though I don't use either Akka or Play (yet)). It reminds me of the old comment about how unreadable French is because it looks nothing…
Java 8 would make a very poor Scala substitute, and only offers a small subset of what is provided by Scala.
