    I don't buy it. At least two core products of the biggest advertisement company in the world have no problem providing you value and generating ad-revenue without you having to be …

    I'm wondering why they're getting more and more adamant that people register an account, even though a lot of people don't care about having an online persona outside of Facebook a…

    There are two valid ways for a disassembler mitigate this: a) decompile to a language in which the bytecode can be expressed (in a concise / expresive manner, Java would always be …

    Well, it's not a jvm class file but a dalvik Dex file. A disassembler which can't generate compilable code from this valid Bytecode is incomplete or in other words: buggy.

    Funny, I tend to go the opposite way (immutable value types, stateful-as-needed behavior classes). I wonder how you argue that you have less stateful objects considering data objec…

    IMHO you overestimate the use of macs as development machines, doubly so in parts of our industry that works on projects where high performance GPU APIs are actually needed (games,…

    I can't find the okhttp case you reference, but retrofit has a bunch of extra adapter artifacts that add an external library as a transient dependency to your project. The code for…

    I started using sqlbrite (in combination with sqldelight) and stopped treating the database as an object store. Instead I create an interface for the data the customer needs (e.g. …

    That is actually not true. Afaik multiversioning of dependencies is not actually supported by build systems without manual effort (not counting major versions in non-conflicting na…

    I don't think so but I might also interpret the article wrong. The problem - from what I understand - is that you used to be able to use the systems sqlite.so to access databases o…

    Kind of related: There is an outstanding request [0] on the Android issue tracker to offer an official support/compat library for Android's sqlite bindings, that would bridge Andro…

    I imagine that the industry is under comparatively little scrutiny by regulators and the public, and can therefore be as fast-moving and rule-bending[0] as the top SV startups. Thi…

    It is about treating new versions with major API breakage as if they were completely new libraries, not as a "maybe, possibly drop-in replacement, iff we use just the right feature…

    I think this talk makes his opinion on how breaking changes in libraries should be handled (in the context of the JVM ecosystem) very clear: A) avoid breaking API changes B) if you…

    I am very confused what kind of state management MobX implements, especially after reading their current README ( https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx/tree/6ed404b96a8b4074a473accd... ) …

    Imperative (especially Java-style OO-imperative) programming will just about always win over non-OO declarative programming in an analogy like that (i.e. a Simulation of a real wor…

    I honestly don't see why you wouldn't consider SQLite to be a "proper database." I think it has a reasonably competitive feature set. In a usecase where you consider independent da…

    Comment #13249048

    This obviously depends on the workload / amount of data per customer, but for some use-cases this could be done with SQLite. EDIT: Well, looks like someone beat me to it

    Fully agreed that there are limitations, but I still think calling it an out-dated approach is unfair. I don't see a simple, low on boilerplate, one-size-fits-all solution for reus…

    I disagree with you regarding Activities. For apps they do most of the screen management the developer needs just fine, especially if they are backed by a strong view and data mode…

    Kudos to them. Compared to the web it's rather cumbersome to poke into packaged and released mobile apps, so I really appreciate access to the source of a real world app for learni…

    What bothers me about this and other templating is that branching is so inconspicuous and therefore hides its complexity . Lets takes this extended example: HELLO Duis a turpis sed…
