I feel like this is a great practical example showcasing the value of static types and designing your data model up front. If you know the structure of the object, you can put in placeholders while the real thing loads in. Then you get to c

I wrote an apple shortcut last year that notifies me with a random item from my todo list after five minutes of having an "addicting" app open. It sort of helps to jog me out of mindless scrolling, but I still ignore it a lot of t

It kinda makes me sad. I hope we don't enter an era of stagnation because LLMs only understand our current tech. There are so many brilliant ideas that mainstream languages haven't adopted (and may never be able to adopt). There a

Htmx + Kotlin with ktor and the html dsl was really fun to play with on a personal project. Static typing, autocomplete and a full-fledged programming language available to use in your html markup is a game changer. I was structuring my end

Interesting, I don't develop for Android so I don't know the details in this space. Surprising to learn that the Android OS layer is 100% Java. In terms of a platform, I was more referring to the mass adoption of Kotlin for Androi

The downvotes are unfortunate. To clarify I wasn't trying to start a flame war. I was hoping someone would answer with concrete technical tradeoffs and comparisons e.g. compile times, null safety, common footguns, personal experiences,

Why would I use Java 22 over Kotlin?

I spent a night going down a rabbit hole with observable framework and it was terrific! It more or less just got out of the way and I was able to visualize and explore my google maps history in detail. Some of the data loader environment st

It all seems too good to be true but your comment helped me develop a mental model for how this could work. The most inspiring aspect to me here is just realizing how much potential low-hanging fruit there is in this space! What other seemi

I work on matching at Indeed. Not sure when the last time you used Indeed was, but over the past year or so we've made huge strides in our match quality. And we've recently began experimenting with alternative revenue models in or

I think this technique would be revolutionary for CAD or 3D modeling software. It always feels clunky trying to click, drag, orbit, fly, etc your way around a viewport, when all you really want to do is quickly peek around a corner to get s

I was recently playing around with a similar approach using Alpine.js and it was really fun just hacking on an html file. Didn't know about importmap, but I'm excited to try it out. There's a time and a place for bundlers. Bu

Kotlin uses "it" as the name of the implicit arg in lambdas. Makes things very readable imo: ``` listOf(1, 3, 5).map { it * 100 } ```

I had a very similar experience except it was a 1st gen MS surface book packaged in a 2nd box. They look nearly identical. Spent months getting gaslighted by Amazon support. My coworker who'd previously worked at Amazon Fulfillment sug

These suggestions hit the nail on the head. Additionally, the reviewer also becomes a better dev because they’re forced to really think about and articulate why they think the code smells. Even if my coworker’s code doesn’t feel right to me

Is it just me or do the top comments seem super suspicious? They aren’t nearly as critical and level-headed as I’ve come to expect from hn. Skeptical of their authenticity.

I just assume at this point that a new python script from a coworker won’t run without an hour of tinkering and yelling obscenities at my screen. Or resorting to running in docker, which seems asinine. Python’s everywhere and does everythin

This is a toxic comment that adds nothing to the conversation.

I just gave this workflow a shot and it was great. Thanks for the tip! Do you use anything for committing more granular chunks of code? I'm just committing groups of files but after reading about magit on other hn threads, I feel like

The syntax reminds me of kotlin’s html dsl a bit. I personally like languages with curly braces for scope because it plays nice with vim. You can quickly select everything in the current scope by typing viB, for instance.

Also check out react-atom: https://github.com/derrickbeining/react-atom I stumbled across it earlier this week and it's a joy to use so far. The api is inspired by clojure atoms, and typescript inference works gre
