Can someone further explain how the pre commit phase works? I don't get how/why "pre commits" work without feature branches? How are my changes shared with the reviewer, if I there is no feature branch? Is my local code

We are using Kotlin in production for two projects. One is a spring boot backend for an online banking app for a large european bank. The other is an Android app for an NGO that gives out microloans to farmers who would not get a loan from

Wow, that ecosystem grows fast. There is often a quite negative response to Github's decision to base Atom on a HTML/Javascript/CSS stack, due to the performance hit. But it seems that it attracted a lot of developers to work

That many phone manufactures don't update their software is not an Android problem. Would Lenovo update their devices more often when their operating system was not based on Android? Would Apple update less often when iOS was based on

At your first attempt to rate an app on Google Play, you got a dialog warning you that this will be connected to and visible on your account. I find this information extremely useful, because a +1 from someone i know is more interesting tha

There is no actual tutorial, sorry. The best way to learn how to play EU is to watch a tutorial on youtube. It's worth it, though...

What I miss on every HN app I tried is a focus on search. Maybe I'm using HN differently than most people, but I usually look for discussions on topics I'm interested in, instead of reading the top posts on all topics. For example

I'm not sure it is dumb if a company spokesman says something in favor of his companies current situation. If you are famous for your hardware keyboard then of course you say anything that favors hardware keyboards. If you just release

I don't understand why Google can not roll this out internationally from the start. Why only US and UK? The content is not subject to old copyright contracts, which is typically the argument not to launch something in Europe and its cr

I've been there for the last 2 years, but this year I decided to ask my company for a flight to pycon instead. For an Android developer, there are a lot of great talks at I/O, and you have the opportunity to meet the complete Andr

Everything text is great if you listen to Stephen Frey reading it to you. But I personally think the "Goblin of Fire" (the 4th?) is the worst.

Actually, no. Being able to purchase a book over a web browser and installing a native application store on your device are very different things. I think you can argue that a browser itself is an app store (you download and execute (web-)a

most of the time google collects data it is because users want this data to be collected. If Google would not store emails on their servers, people would leave Gmail and go to a service that does. If Google would store emails, but end-to-en

"I can't believe this is just now being fixed." I always cringe when I read a complaint like this. Every larger project has a long issue list, and it is perfectly normal that an issue that is super important to some ends up f
