What kind of ridiculous project structure do you have? I have never in my ~5 or so years of using Android Studio have had to do something as drastic as that. I have occasionally have had issues with updating, but this has required a tweak i

Wow. I have no idea why they would do this, it's so much worse! Seems to work fine in Chrome on Android though?

Completely by the by but is the scrolling on this page screwed up for anyone else? Seems to have a weird slow non-native scrolling method for me. I'm running Firefox on Android

What UI/UX improvements would you like to see? I agree with the grandparent post - it's simple, consistent and dependable :). Also, customizable!

Not to be confused with Kotlin Android Extensions, which although handy is really just a convenient way to reference views in XML. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/android-plugin.html

I haven't used Windows as a primary OS for years. I miss having MSPaint around for small edits, and have yet to find a suitable replacement. Other apps either have too few features (e.g. Preview) or too many (GIMP), or the interface do

That quote frustrated me too. "Smartphone use" is such a vague term here. They seem to reference this again later in the article, but it doesn't seem to clear things up much. "All that distraction adds up to a loss of ra

He does mention this at the end of the article. One last remark to remind you of what happens when people ignore all the above: I still see people who spend half their day behind a VDU looking up at their screen, then down at two fingers,

Oh come on, there's no way you can tell the difference in latency between a mouse of that era and a USB mouse today. Surely there's enough demand in the e-sports scene to lower input latency as much as possible?
