Nocode is obviously a banter repo and people starred it because made them laugh.

But why should they? An Oracle data centre is built for one purpose, and one purpose only - to increase the wealth and power of Larry Ellison. Is furthering that goal really something to be proud of? As a wiser man than me once said, do not

In Kotlin this would already be a compile error, no need for another annotation.

Ha, I switch between the two as well, but I feel the opposite. Kotlin is much more intuitive for me, and Swift is more clunky. I do miss guard lets in Kotlin, but that’s about it.

I don’t have a problem with the fines for the spam texters, if anything it should be higher, but not punishing the electoral commission for that is utterly insane.

You can’t do stacked PRs without merge commits, not unless you really like conflicts anyway.

Couldn’t agree less. I’ve been a developer for nearly 20 years, working with Python, PHP, JavaScript, ObjC, Swift, Java, bash scripting, SQL, Terraform, and a bunch of others. Written code for data transformations, web servers, client side

This is a more insightful comment than the comment at the top, and also more useful than the blog post.

Sadly most people (at least in my country) use Facebook for this.

Have you looked at Kotlin? Very, very similar to Swift and interoperates very well with Java.

You absolutely can. You can also use Square’s excellent Wire library.

My day is similar to the poster you’re replying to. It’s easy to make up the time in the evenings if you’re already set up for working from home. Also some employers who have embraced remote working have also learned that results matter mor

It would depend on the state of that codebase, really. If it’s well tested and does its job well, I wouldn’t bother rewriting it at all. But certainly if I were to add new features to an existing Java codebase I’d use Kotlin. The interop be

Cheap threads are fine if you’re in a server environment, and you need to spin up a large number of short lived parallel jobs. It’s not hugely helpful for a UI-bound application which occasionally needs to move some work into a background t

I believe there are no plans to port Kotlin’s null safety to Java, which is possibly the biggest advantage Kotlin has right now. Once you’ve tried it there is no way you would want to live without it.

Housing. Being a homeowner and paying off a mortgage builds your wealth. Renting builds someone else’s.

I wouldn't lump Kotlin in with some of the other less-popular there, if a place is already all-in on Java then Kotlin is a natural next step and can be adopted incrementally with 0 technical issues. If it's an issue with existing

I think in London people would prefer you actually mugged them rather than try and engage them in a conversation.

So, what do we call the mobile app layer? The view of the view?

Yes, because it's famously easy to just go grab a FAANG job whenever you feel like it, wherever you are in the world.

Does Instant have any plans for iOS and Android SDKs? One of the biggest wins with Firebase is that it's really easy to integrate across platforms.

If it's magic link or multi-factor authentication, I know which one I prefer. Try explaining to an MFA-loving service that your phone is out of action while it's being repaired.

With programming you have source control and some form of an undo command. You also have a compiler and (if you can be bothered writing them) tests. If you need another tool or another component you can just search for it on the internet an

Tail-call optimisation on the JVM is already somewhat supported with an annotation / keyword (depending on language). My understanding is that the project will improve the current implementation, but you'll still need to define wh
