I feel like it’s being redundant if it can be inferred from the initializer.

Sup guys, I’m thinking about the possibility of working abroad. I’m going for a bachelors degree in economy soon, but I work and intend to keep working with software development. I see many companies ask for a degree in CS related fields specifically. I wonder how flexible companies tend to be about that when hiring new people, specially people already on a senior position, with 7+ yrs experience. Any of you have any experience or know someone who’s been in a similar position?

Hi, I only have 1 usb c port (thunderbolt) on my laptop. If I compile/install apps via that port in development its way faster. However most of the time that port is occupied by my 4k 60hz monitor. If I were to just buy some cheap dongle thing which would give me more ports, would that work? Or does it need to be explicitly thunderbolt thing

For example, the Square, which uses Kotlin for Android

"The Square" 👀

[VERSION_REQUIREMENT_DEPRECATION_ERROR] ‘name: MQualifiedTypeName’ is only available since Kotlin 1.4.30 and cannot be used in Kotlin 1.5

I’m confused 😄

Hey, so Bintray is shutting down. Does this mean one cannot deploy artifacts to Jfrog/Bintray?

Is anyone else having an issue with the bug reporting in IntelliJ today? The one that shows up as a red dot in the bottom right corner when the Kotlin compiler throws an exception. When I click to report the bug to JetBrains, it's failing with a 502. It was working fine yesterday.

How does git come up with the result (middle) in three way diff?. Its hard to see for some reason -- left side says 1.3.1, right side says 1.4, and result (middle) says 1.3 .. how?

Has anyone actually managed to set up a reliable way to publish to GitHub Packages? I’ve tried for the first time. The process failed midway due to network error and now I have an incomplete publication published 😵 I can neither retry publishing (409 Conflict) nor delete the incomplete publication (GitHub doesn’t allow that). WTF?

Is there a way I can produce a fatJar in Multiplatform project that depends on another module? 🤔

Anyone having the business-use-case of rendering a Spring Configuration Schema file, so a customer can configure the application in a convenience UI? (Probably a use-case for plugin-like architectures) I’m just searching for ideas, opinions or best-practices!

This message was deleted.

does anyonw know of a TEXT templating engine with IDE support that can use a generated schema? eg. look up allowed variables (and types) for autocompletion ideally in a way that my program can generate a schema best would be idea and vscode plugins for it.. but just one of them would work fine as well what i am looking for is like json-schema for html or markdown templating to make obvious mistakes visible to users as soon as possible rather than only when compiling the template (as that happens rather late in a longer list of processing steps) although i hope to find something that i can use in kotlin/JVM context

👋 I’m here! What’d I miss?

if I'm looking for some state-of-the-art solutions to interact with kotlin code from python, what are my best choices? (jython/py4j?)

Jetpack Compose really made it difficult to provide a usecase against native Android now, I believe

the only complain against using Idea via snap is that you are not notified of the updates.

Hey! Does anybody know any arch pattern without View? Without Model?

Fun fact, you can print colours in Kotlin:

println(ANSI_YELLOW)
    println("YELLOW")
}

const val ANSI_YELLOW = "\u001B[33m"

Output:

Is there a list of emoji's JetBrain's font

JetBrains mono

is able to show in a nice way? For instance, the information source icon is more or less a normal i whereas the magnifier right emoji looks nice, a bit like 🔎

Trying to get better at determining Big O for a solution. Here's a problem:"Return true if this string is a palindrome" The solution can be done in O(n). Why is it not O(n/2)? You can solve it in O(n) by using a pointer on the left and right side. If I use a left and right pointer and at each iteration I move both pointers. Would this not be O(n/2)? Or is this one of those cases where the 2 is a "least irrelevant figure" so I toss it out? I asked this before and I pretty much got two groups of answers... but one has to be wrong? So is the answer: 1️⃣ It is O(n/2) but that simplifies to n (get rid of the 2 because it's not significant) 2️⃣ It's not O(n/2). Even though the number of iterations is n/2 you still technically check every index, so it's just O(n)

Hello, where can I ask some question regarding coroutines?

hi there! can you mention template engine that you`re using in your kotlin project? (pros\cons would be a plus 😃 )

today I converted a java class to kotlin, and when I commited it to git, intellij automatically created two commits - first one is just rename. Is this a new feature?

Google is preparing for Fuchsia's first releases - 9to5Google o.O

Any of ya'll actually have successful apps on the Play Store/App Store - just out of interest? 😀

Anyone know some good ebooks regarding game development in AS with Kotlin? If I posted in the wrong place please tell me nicely.

guys how can I get images from “start screen” of Idea/DataGrip etc? 😅
