Microsoft built such a nice remote pair programming tool in VSCode 🙂 too bad that IntelliJ has nothing similar 😏 https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/live-share/

Hello everyone. I am developing an online quiz application on android. Do you think Firebase is suitable for real-time multiplayer? The game I want to do will be like a quiz up application. Is there a platform you recommend if Firebase is not suitable? i didnt find any example. I'm a little nervous about latency. I couldn't decide between websocket or firebase. what is your suggestion?

Just read this at https://kotlinlang.org/foundation/guidelines.html Why wouldn't they want us to say "Kotlin's" or "Kotlinize"?

Has anyone managed to successfully override a Maven Artifact on GitLab via the Gradle publish task?

I can't find Settings->Version Control anymore

Does anyone have an approximate ETA on when the Contracts DSL will be considered stable/leaves experimental status? Thanks! 😒imple_smile:

@Orhan Tozan Probably because IntelliJ is not stuck in ages old runtime. Android Studio is still using JRE 8 (as of 4.0) while IntelliJ runs on a more recent JRE based on OpenJDK 11.

I keep making this sort of mistake:

s.replace("\\s+", "")

Does anyone have an idea why I’d see this warning, started with 1.3.70 ?

Still sucks to see this issue open: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-32158 Typing speed is so bad, even on my machine with 64GB of ram.

anyone using Idea remotely via vpn?

Oof. Better luck next time. 😆

there were some... unforeseen issues happening. You couldn't have seen those happen.

Is there a ETA for Kotlin 1.4?

what does

by getting

mean in a gradlekt file?

I started to try idea 2020, but it seems to not resolve test jar. in our gradle file we have

testImplementation project(path: ":core-impl", configuration: "testHelper")

which works fine in 2019 but not in 2020. does somebody else experience the same issue? shall I try to duplicate on a smaller scale or is it already known?

That’s the first time where J2K has messed up the imports of an entire project 😅 Is there any workaround? I guess I’ll have to fix dozens of files by hand now. Most of the imports aren’t even needed 😮

how do i set the language for highlighting in codeblocks? everytime i enter the three backticks it just turns it into a codeblock before i can set the language

What would be the idiomatic/semantic way to define a limited size length of a collection? Given a

data class ChatConversation

, where a chat conversation is always between two users (userId), which type would fit the most? I was thinking about a

val userIds: Set<Int>

but that doesn't enforce the min 2, max 2. Also thought about a

val userIds: Pair<Int, Int>

, but the fact that

Pair(1, 2) == Pair(2, 1)

equals to false makes it a inproper fit given the case here, since a conversation between Bob and Alice should be considered the same as a conversation between Alice and Bob. EDIT: Possible option:

data class TwoSizedSet<T>(val value: Set<T>) {
    init {
        require(value.size == 2)
    }
}

Just in time for us to take another three years to migrate from Java 8 to 11

I wish there were an annotation

@ExistsForTesting

not just

@VisibleForTesting

.

Hi folks! Many of us work from home these days, whether we like it or not. What a surprise, if you're also a parent! Don't panic, we've got you covered. We prepared a giant list with WFH tips, kids activities, education materials, and virtual tours. I want to share it here, as I believe it will be useful for parents hanging in here: https://bit.ly/wfh-kids

god help me, i just made a git commit in a centos machine and it gave me a vim editor 😱

Anyone else tried the new Jetbrains Mono? I was using Inconsolata before, but this one is also pretty nice.

Anyone know if you can parse an HTML string with kotlinx-html? Second question, how?

how to make windows app with kotlin

In pre-2020.1 IntelliJ I could click once on a changed file in local VCS changes to see a compact diff of the changes. 1. Now I have to double click 2. The diff is opened in the main editor and it’s not a “compact” diff Is there a setting I am missing?

In Android Studio I hover over a lint warning and the "tooltip" appears and in the middle of reading it disappears in like a second. Any way to keep that tooltip there?
