After I implemented Gradle in our big project, building time went from 1s to 13-26s. Asking on the Gradle forum, everything boils down to

compileJava

which on Netbeans/Idea turns out to be blazing fast. There have been some suggestions, like divide the project into modules and activate build cache, but all of this appears to be light patches that only smoothes the problem (because every modification seems likely to trigger a full recompile anyway at module-level). My big question is why Gradle (and company) lags so behind in terms of performances..

hello guys. I have a question. We would like to include several onboarding videos on our app. How would you do that? Streaming them is actually not cool for user's data plans. Having them in our app will increase the app size 5 times. Currently our app is around 11 MB, the videos are around 60 MB. Also have you some hints on what would be the proper video format as a trade off between quality and size? Kind regards, thanks

i have a project working on my work computer and I wont have access to it for some time. is there a way i can remotely work on my projects via idea?

random poll, what do you name your unused but necessary variables? i guess in kotlin the only situation would be in destructuring, but in java it also comes up in single input lambdas where you dont care about the input. in python i would do

_

but does java/kotlin have similar convention?

A short discussion on naming (I'm not a native speaker). Let's say I want to express how many % of the daily calorie goal the user consumed on protein. If I have the number in

[0..100]

, I might name the property

proteinPercent

. Does that make sense? How would you name the property if it was in

[0.0..1.0]

?

that may give inspiration for interviwes
