YMMV, but I found quite a lot of shitty movies to be rated surprisingly high on RT. Based on my experience, high rating doesn't mean a movie will be good, although low rating does translate to a pretty good chance it's poor, so th

You can't really evolve a wheel in the sense that a half-evolved foot is useful already, whereas a half-evolved wheel: not really. Therefore obtaining a functional wheel has to be done in one jump, which is contrary to how the gradual

Clarification: yes it is a Polish project, and I'm aware it's thus of no practical use to most of you. I'm linking to it as a showcase of a "job board done right" rather than for actual job searching - that's h

I think brute force (coupled with powerful heuristic of course) is the optimal way for increasing strength of chess play in engines. It has long ago surpassed even the best humans anyway. What is interesting to me - and really underexplored

Java 8 won't be supported on Android, at least not on most devices, for a while still, so I can't see why the release of Java 9 would be a game-changer all of a sudden

The Kotlin plugin (for Android Studio; starting from 3.0 presumably built-in) allows for converting Java code to Kotlin automatically. Obviously the outcome is not necessarily idiomatic Kotlin, just the most straightforward equivalent - but

Also within the job itself, overengineering (a typical vice of intermediate level coders) is the root of, well, much evil. A programmer myself, I couldn't help but thinking about mammoth frameworks and architecture fads as I read the a

I know it's not a laughing matter (and suddenly my working day just seems much easier), but when I read "YP says it’s best for him not to run anything with sudo any more today" I couldn't but smile. Yeah, well, that&#x

Very basic (no extensions and thusly no adblocker, no LastPass, no mouse gestures etc.), but it's a concept version, I get it. Certainly worth considering as a light-weight browser number 2 for me. I like it as a fresh take at browser

I used Vivaldi for a couple of months. Plenty of goodness, and one major showstopper: it's slow. It's so very sluggish and slow. Something as trivial as tearing a tab off a window would take several seconds. Switching between tabs

The most mind-boggling thing they did with their Android app (that I know of, at least) was hands down this: https://jaxenter.com/facebooks-completely-insane-dalvik-hack...

They seem to favour unit tests over integration tests, which is achieved by abstracting the layout logic away from Activities and into view models that can be unit tested with no fuss.

I quickly looked up DuckDuckGo, and - unlike this one - boy is it spaghetti: https://github.com/duckduckgo/android/blob/master/src/com/du... Yes I've seen worse, but this most certainly is

I have never used this app myself, I don't know whether it's complex. I only peeked at the source code. And yes I was referring to the contrast between how neatly written it is, and their lack of experience with the platform, not

When it comes to Android, Java by itself is the least of problems. It's the SDK and framework that are tricky, ridden with technical debt and often far from developer-friendly.

I'm aware of it, but last I checked it didn't seem production-ready and lacked features. I believe they updated it at some point, but other than some talk at Google IO not much came out of it - even the docs didn't reflect it

Yeah, they sort of rolled out their own MVVM implementation, based on RxJava and RxLifecycle. On Android MVVM is more difficult than MVP in my opinion (the most popular choice, not counting spaghetti projects), mostly because the platform d

Well, it only indicates this was their intention , but not that the execution of that intention was any good ;) in particular that they did a better job than modern layouts, as you said you'd be willing to bet. Note that it's not
