Hello folks, I've been messing around and wrote Kotlin project name generator, it's kinda unpredictable, but sometimes fun, check it out 🙂 (My frontend skills are pretty basic, but I've tried my best 😁 ) https://smyachenkov.com/kotlinifier/

would you add under VCS in

.idea

:

codeStyles/codeStyleConfig.xml

,

encodings.xml

,

misc.xml

and

vcs.xml

?

I was working on a typescript project. Naturally for collections I named parameters like

collection.filter(it => it.age > 18)

^-- Was told that calling the parameter 'it' is 'weird' and that I must not do this! 😄

I've seen early feedback: https://twitter.com/pilgr/status/1329446533394259977?s=19

that's disappointing.. but it's part of the game when you switch arch.. I guess we are going to see a lot of other cases like that. Hopefully they'll get smoothed asap

I made this extension function for operator "*"

operator fun String.times(i: Int){
      var string: String? = null
       repeat(i){
            string = this
       }
       return string
}

fun main(){
       print("hello"*8)
}

It suppose to print 8x but it returns null from the fun or print only 1 hello

When was #ktor officially released?

you know how webpack and other frontend minifiers have tools that let you visualize your bundle? like...hey, jQuery is 60% of your bundle size, maybe you can replace that with zepto... is there something like that for Java/Kotin for uberjars?

Can anyone explain the version numbers for the Kotlin plugin? It says I'm on 203-1.4.10-release-IJ5981.133, and that's it's the latest. Shouldn't it be 1.4.20-...? And what does the 203 mean? I was under the impression that had something to do with EAP, but my work computer is on the same version, and it's never been set to anything except stable.

On M1 my native JVM bechmarks have been quite good... Rosetta about 30% slower than the intel MBP though 😞 https://nequalsonelifestyle.com/2020/11/24/apple-silicon-benchmarks-pt7-renaissance/

evaluating the upgrade of my pc, I stumbled upon the cpu choice, I've always thought that a new ryzen (5xxx or 3xxx gen) would suit perfectly, but I read this and now I'm puzzled.. has anyone have some personal experience in this?

Anyone doing android dev and you have a lot of ram on your machine? Consider starring this issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/120953354

Raaaahh intellij is sooo bad with multi screen on linux… (sorry had to vent)

Just a friendly reminder that it isn't too late to sponsor a family or individual for the holidays. 🕎🎄🎅 🕯️🙏📿 I know it can be overwhelming with the holidays and all that needs be done, but there are more families than ever in need this holiday season.

Just discovered ❤️

I have a

data class Entity

that I would like to refactor. in this class there are a lots of method like

fun promote() : Entity {
  require(state == States.Initial) { "Cannot promote entity in state $state" }
  return copy(state = States.Promoted)
}

fun demote() : Entity = ... same pattern

I would like to turn this into a type system of sort

sealed class Entity

data class Initial : Entity { fun promote() = Promoted(...) }

data class Promoted : Entity { fun demote() = ... }

however there are like a lot and a lot and a lot of usages of current

Entity

data class features, especially copy method and equals. how would intellij help me with this refactor? I feel like this is one of those more complex refactor some ide magicians can do in a matter of half a day but would take me forever. I am not worried of taking a long time, since even if there is some magic refactor technique I would not be expert with it and would need to learn it, but I would like to learn it so next time it will be faster.

Does kotlin support jdk 15 target?

JCenter & Bintray must be some of the worst services we have to work with. Publishing to Bintray works intermittently and is slow as hell. Sync with JCenter is partially broken. JCenter downloads are partially down. (https://status.bintray.com/) Gradle publishing with secure checksums is still broken for Kotlin MPP. And don’t even start with Bintray’s horrible and buggy website. Publishing plugins to Gradle Plugin Portal requires manual approval for updates. Maven Central has requirements that make every Gradle setup way more complicated. Today is one of those days where nothing works. At some point the IDE even refuses to close windows and after a restart all my file changes are gone. Maybe it’s just not my day 😅 I really wish Kotlin would get its own official build & publishing ecosystem 😐

^-- Made a DI lib for Swift. Maybe I'll port a Kotlin version.

on the subject of rants, anyone else tired of

IllegalArgumentException

always auto-completing to

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

instead of the Kotlin stdlib typealias? same goes for all the common exceptions, like

RuntimeException

Just wondering - is google play developer console down? I having some errors submitting for review... https://gyazo.com/cda60d8b3fc753c9d44bae6cd2fc6ce6 DAE face this error too?

is Visual Studio Code recommended to be used with Kotlin? I had better experience with IntelliJ IDEA so far using Kotlin

an appeal to the jetbrains guys, here https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/#section=linux you should list for the ubuntu snaps, the

--edge

options to get the EAP version

Pretty random but still: Kotlin is really fun! It is really recreational for me. Does somebody else feel this?🙂

i feel silly commenting enum classes. how should these be commented?
