Woah that’s cool. Wonder why it’s not on iOS. It’s clearly not a limitation, so I’m just guessing google doesn’t want to.
I mean… I drive my electric car like I stole it, which I wouldn’t really do with anything except a sports car. So the tire wear is definitely greater than if I did that in an ICE vehicle.
Even small electric cars are expensive in America. The Kia ev6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6 are all quite “small” for American vehicles and they’re still 45k+
Yeah it’s great! We compile it into native code and deploy it as lambdas on aws. It’s actually faster than most nodejs lambdas. I love it!
I really think you’re overstating how difficult Kotlin is to learn. I’ve converted over 30 people to Kotlin, and it doesn’t take more than a few minutes for them to get the gist of it. If you use Lombok it’s even easier. Just say it’s Lombok without all the bytecode manipulation, it’s actually part of the language.
People love using it once they see it. I’ve had one single person go back to using Java after using Kotlin. Do you use anything like groovy, cucumber, aspectj, powermock, etc? If so you have an even greater argument here. It’s much easier to learn Kotlin than to get any new employee up to speed on those tools and frameworks.
Just try. It really sounds like you don’t believe in yourself here. I wasn’t high ranking when I switched my last company over to Kotlin. The language really speaks for itself. There are also plenty of resources giving you ammo for convincing.
Hmm Gboard on iphone doesn't do that. Strange. I can hold plenty of other letters and numbers (like 0 to get °), but not 1-9.
This is removing moisture from the air, making it feel colder.
That’s not how humidity works. Higher humidity means that cooler temperatures feel much colder and warmer temperatures feel much warmer. Even the heat index calculation shows this. Just try it out for yourself, or look at the formula. https://www.weather.gov/epz/wxcalc_heatindex
People's AC units are not actually cooling anywhere near those temperatures. The unit is just on 100% of the time at those temperatures, and they could realistically increase the temperature a great deal and get the same results.
I don’t know why you think this. Maybe you only have a single stage AC or maybe you’ve never actually measured the temp with an extra thermometer, but you can get the ac 40-50°F cooler than outside, both by removing humidity (which decreases the “feels like” temp) but also through actually heat removal from the house. You might just have bad insulation as well.
If you live in a dry climate you can do the opposite. Pump humidity in using a swamp cooler, which places moisture in the air and then immediately causes it to evaporate carrying heat with it in the state change. You’re cooling the air slightly and since moisture exaggerates temperature changes it feels cooler to you.
Anything Hashicorp is just junk. It might work, but still junk under the covers. I never want to work with vault, consul, terraform, etc ever again.
You can use Lens on iPhones just fine. It’s part of the google app.
Are you typing the character or using markdown to accomplish that?
I wasn’t talking just touchscreen keyboards. On Mac you just hold option and you can type almost all of those letters. I do understand your point though. Thanks for explaining
That's not possible for one person to do out of their own personal preferences in a large scale enterprise application.
It would be a project wide migration with tons of people working on it and testing afterwards.
I do not know why you think this. You bring it up at an architectural meeting, you begin by explaining the reduction in bugs (there are plenty of studies for this). Then after you get buy in you can literally add the Kotlin library to your pom or build.gradle or buck or whatever system you use and then you can add a single file for Kotlin and it just works. You don’t have to migrate anything, even existing files. I know. I’ve done it multiple times at multiple companies. Migration is incredibly easy if you want to do it, but you can literally just have both side by side with no problems. You wouldn’t need testing for anything except the new code you added. In fact a great way to start with Kotlin is by using it for test files. Then you don’t need to test anything related to the Kotlin code at all!
And yes, I’ve been the “one person” pushing the Kotlin so I do understand the political and technical problems you have to deal with. It really isn’t as difficult as you think.
