A short guide on how to reuse code for Gradle Kotlin DSL files. It's easy to do that in Groovy, with Kotlin things are a bit more complicated.

#gradle #kotlin #build

Have accidentally spotted this bad boy: a short overview of books and lectures one could use to self study math. You know, just in case you haven't suffered enough during your university times.

Google announced a new open source project: Now in Android app. It showcases how all those hipster technologies could be used. Really hope the code is not their usual piece of garbage.

One more useless piece of knowledge: which bytes are sent / received when we press keys in a terminal.

Wow, nice, I didn't even know about that! You can plug-in pretty much any external tool into Intellij w/o any plugins.

We've been using this approach for a long time, but it turns out, there's a smart-ass name for it: Stacked PRs. In short: instead of submitting one fat pull request with your feature, you submit several small dependent PRs. It works well with github, however there are still some things to be done manually. Author highlights, which parts we'd probably like to perform automatically or in an easy way, and which tools could potentially help us with that.

Quite an interesting post on reference counting vs. garbage collectors.

Check out this visual Clojure REPL. Have no idea why would I need something like this at the moment, but it looks impressive for sure.

OMG, e-book readers are vulnerable! JS execution, filesystem reads, network access - you can do bad bad things there. It seems that humanity has failed.

I'm basically obliged to share this video, two of my passions meet - chess and programming. Some guy is building the game itself and some basic AI for it.

On our last peerlab we've been trying to understand how suitable is DALL-E for pet project graphics generation. There's a story of generating graphics for a game in this post. So, somewhat suitable.

Listen on a port - what does it mean? This post tries to help you build mental model of these interactions. Really love this narrative style with characters, their relationships, etc.

Decided to focus on SQLite this week, encountered an interesting post series.
- B-trees, pages and record format
- ACID and rollback journal

#sqlite #db

- Write-ahead logging
- VM and bytecode

Check out this crazy tool to code with your voice.
This video will help you understand wtf is going on.
And this otherworldly one is actual coding.
