Why not use Jupyter and Kotlin kernel to make some data science?

I briliant piece on resolving conflicts: http://www.yegor256.com/2017/01/03/how-much-you-love-conflicts.html

yeah, seems like a messy workaround though. At that point I'd rather just: 1) make my own well-named extension that just points to the actual method and use that instead, or 2) deal with the weird capitalization

@dalexander the idea that making something less convenient to suppress its use is madness..

@orangy On the other hand, these literals help DSL’s by replacing

listOf(1,2,3)

with

[1,2,3]

, which reads a bit better IMO

@voddan Yes, I want to use collection literals in Kotlin. It’s something that I miss greatly coming from Swift, and something that I repeatedly search for month after month hoping to hear news of developments. Lack of literals does not prevent us solving problems; but to be honest, the current way feels unneccessarily verbose and ‘Java like’. It does not feel in the spirit of Kotlin. It’s not a great problem, but it feels like something that shouldn’t be too complex to implement while enhancing the readability, writeability and ‘modern feel’ of the language.

@thomasnield Very nice! I agree that Python has the upper hand at the moment because of some brilliant libraries. Scala didn't do the trick for me either, but with Kotlin I think there is hope. I am interested in contributing to your Kotlin Statistics project!

vs Kotlins

val stringsLookup = emptyMap<Int,Array<String>>()

why not

val list = ["a", "b", "c"]

❓ if you are having strong Java background, do you feel it uncomfortable, or may be refreshing that Kotlin files are not bound strictly to class names as in Java?

Primary constructor vararg parameters are forbidden for data classes.

Seeing Kotlin without actually writing it 🙂 https://twitter.com/andrey_cheptsov/status/846685993679945728

I usually just type

psvm

in a random place in kotlin project, and test it there. You need a project that builds, though 🙂

Just out of stupid idea worth a startup, is it possible to train AI to name a function from its content? 😄

@orangy this line https://github.com/MarioAriasC/lagomkotlin/blob/master/hello-impl/src/main/kotlin/org/cakesolutions/hello/impl/KHelloEntity.kt#L19 is marked as an error in IntelliJ but it compiles fine

Does anybody have a favorite personal tasking system? I've used remember the milk and some task plugin for outlook, fell off both of them fairly quickly, but now im once again in a position where im doing everything from investigating benifits packages to writing mountains of code and things are starting to fall off the wagon.

Last paragraph: http://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/generics.html#upper-bounds

does anyone have any links explaining the design decision for kotlin arrays? I'm curious what the benefit is for this very verbose syntax over java's concise one

A bit offtopic, but does anyone know how I can configure IntelliJ to treat certain warnings as errors?

This is not about Kotlin but I thought I’d ask anyway. Has anyone who uses mac with trackpad noticed that since recent IJ releases vertical scrolling is really sensitive and almost always scrolls horizontally a little bit? (It’s not a massive problem but makes me sad everytime I scroll 😢)

I have a concern regarding TDD, so I would love to hear your approach with this quick poll (also please comment in a thread if you want to add something valuable): What's your approach to making test pass? 1️⃣ Write the simplest possible solution. When writing first test this usually means hardcoding values from test into production. 2️⃣ Write solution in the easiest possible way. Easiest != simplest, i.e. if you already have a function that does part of the functionality required by test, you will call this function after first test, even when you could hardcode the value with the same amount of effort. 3️⃣ Try not to be too clever and implement functionality in a way that is more or less what you expect in final version of production code, e.g. when writing second test for immutable list of your own and adding

newElement

to

emptyList

, you return wrapper for

this.elements + newElement

instead of

listOf(newElement)

, even tho you know

this.elements

is empty. 4️⃣ TDD is dead 5️⃣ I don't test 6️⃣ I don't care about this poll 7️⃣ other

constructor injection++

I know its not kotlin related but many of the jetbrains people roll around in here. Anyone know how I can get a clion issue looked at, its been a few weeks since reporting it now
