Fun fact: there are many top apps using Kotlin, including TikTok and Instagram: Also Microsoft itself is using Kotlin for their OneDrive app. Yes, Microsoft. I think they should be using something else (don't want to name names here)... Guess Kotlin is just too good to resist 😅

I just noticed how renaming a variable in a thousand line file is since some days blazing fast... almost instantaneous.. is this thanks to the new kotlin IR?

Random notification: I made a server for students at #students, if you are a student and you are learning/developing in Kotlin/Android then come and join! Ask questions, or just chat about stuff related to Kotlin! I appreciate every single person who joins! Thank you 🙂

Fun fact: If you are making an app on the Play Store, Google used to get 30% of profits, now they announced a cut to 15% if you are earning under one million dollars. This was after Apple announced that they are also cutting profits. https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/16/22333777/google-play-store-fee-reduction-developers-1-million-dollars

Random idea: Maybe we should make a report server for people who are going against the rules? For example you can report the time in which the incident happened, what happened exactly, etc. in specified formats. I think this is a good idea? Moderators can also check this server once in a while and take appropriate action. For evidence they can include images/recording... et cetera. Tell me your thoughts regarding this. For example: User name: Tom Joney Incident Type: Spamming Date: 12 April 2021 Extra information: Tom Joney was spamming on 'feed', he posted around 3 spam messages. The message was 'I LOVE KOTLIN'. Screenshot: (Insert screenshots.) Edit: I created channel at #reports

Good morning everyone. I am curious about this topic on Quora. https://www.quora.com/Is-it-illegal-to-automatically-upload-a-users-contact-when-ch[…]s%20it%20legal%20automatically%20upload%20user%20contact%20%3F

Is it illegal to automatically upload a user's contact when changed (add/remove contact) for finding friends? (mentioned the purpose of use in privacy/term to improve application, responsibility for user's data, have previously granted for access to contacts)?

How’s about your opinion on this topic/situation in your country or globally?

hi all! Even if the #android channel seems more and more suitable for this question 😄 : Do you guys know of any good keyboards for programming? I never really cared, but after a beer incident I do need a new one now and I thought: why not a decent one? 🙂 My prerequisites: • Should be with Windows layout • Preferably under or around 100 euros ◦ but if there is a crazy good keyboard out there worth a premium price I am also interested • Need to be able to order it in Europe (Hungary to be more precise) • I do not care for gaming or RGB, but also I do not mind having a gaming keyboard with fancy lights if it is good for programming 🙂 Any thoughts are highly appreciated! Googling shows me either 300 dollar keyboards or are more gaming focused topics, hopefully someone has more insights from a programming perspective

Anyone know any nice naming patterns for a parallel class graph, where in one graph the types represent data that is partial or incomplete (or not yet validated?) but the other graph represents complete, validated data? In the former all or many “required” properties on classes may be nullable, and may have less precise types, and post validation these would be copied into instances of classes representing the complete, validated data.

PartialFoo

, 

UnvalidatedFoo

, `IncompleteFoo`… none of those feels quite right, somehow. Is there a standard I’m forgetting / never learnt?

@hhariri Is Code With Me coming to Android Studio?

I am looking to learn domain modelling using object oriented design. Do you have any resource recommendations for that? To add more context, I am not looking for a “design patterns” book. For example, “Domain modelling made functional” is a great book that describes the process in functional approach. The nearest thing I know of is the “Practical object oriented design” book by Sandy Metz. Are there any other good resources that you used and would recommend?

I'm building social media platform where users can like and comment on post. I want to implement rising posts features. For example, when more and more users like and comment a post, it should be visible to users as in top posts section. What should be pseudo code or architecture for it? Here's what I thought: • Maintain a redis list (or set) for top 10 posts • On every like and comment, calculate score counted by total likes and comments Compare score in redis list elements. • If it's more than any element, push current post to that index. Any other approach is also appreciated.

Some questions on containerising any application Suppose I've spring boot application that uses multiple technology like postgres, Neo4j, RabbitMQ etc. I want to understand following things 1. Do we have to turn every thing (spring boot app itself, postgres etc) into container image for better performance? Or only containerising app itself is fine? 2. If we containerise everything, can we deploy all containerised apps on single node? Or we should use different node? 3. Using kubernetes for monolith spring boot app (one person project) is good ? Or I should avoid it?

Is kotlin going to change its logo ? Or am I wrong

What does everyone use for code formatting? 1️⃣ Spotless 2️⃣ Ktlint 3️⃣ ktfmt 4️⃣ other (comment) We've been using ktlint but overall the small little bugs and differences between editorconfig, intellij auto format, and ktlintFormat is just more annoying than anything. Curious if there's another tool that people have been really happy with?

Looks like the IntelliJ Flatpak is official ( https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community )! 🎉 What testing have JetBrains done to ensure the IntelliJ Flatpak works (eg which Linux distros were used for testing)?

I can't decide which is the best option for adding 3 numbers?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59560903/what-is-the-difference-between-step-into-and-force-step-into-in-the-intellij Do anybody know why this is the default for IntelliJ?

Step-Into usually just steps into any function, but IntelliJ seems to skip it if it's not your code (unless you force)

inline class Class1(val s: String)
data class Class2(val s: String)
sealed class Class3(val s: String)
enum class Class4(val s: String)
abstract class Class5(val s: String)
annotation class Class6(val s: String)
open class Class7(val s: String)
final class Class8(val s: String)

Are there any other options? 🤔

Anyone knows good books to learn programming basics using Kotlin for children 10 years old?

Since yesterday, I can't log into my Jetbrains account with my username and password anymore. I reset the password, but after logout, the new password again isn't accepted. I now found out, that the username is the problem: With my email address, login works normally. Why the change, when every login dialog still says "Username or email address"? (in fact, e.g. the settings sync login dialog only says "username")

Best wishes to @nfrankel for his talk at Codemotion these days! 🎉
