Functional variant of C# no?

Folks, have a question on behalf of a friend. Are there any resources for low-level programming in general? (to be specific, the guy's looking for something to help understand...

Git from cmd? How did you install it? I prefer not relying on WSL for multiple reasons — for one, some machines don't have access to it, like the ones I use at work. Also, I r...

Folks, is there any specific reason for LiveData to exist when flows are a thing in Kotlin?

Hey guys, what resource for learning C++ can you recommend? Some technical background: I'm an intermediate level programmer with a good amount of experience with Java, Python...

The language itself is quite nice. I recently tried autoconverting a random Java class from our codebase. The original class was 143 lines long. The resultant Kotlin file? 38.

Are you honestly surprised? I guess this needs to be said again — pretty much ALL online free private hosted services operate this way. All of them have a clause in their TOS ...

Hmm... well yes, but actually no? While Git can be considered a protocol that's used by Github, in some sense, the idea of how a repository can exist completely locally isn't ...

Got a question about this group -- is this the group in the Devs network where it would be on-topic to discuss software engineering? Or do we not have a separate chat for that...

Also, is all this compatible with Jetpack Compose? I haven't used that yet (and in fact only realized it was a thing this morning)

Unrelated question, @TRGWII. Your admin flair states that you're a Win power-user. Mind stating what kind of power tools you use?

Do you mean without changing the source code of the existing class?

Did you try tweeting at them? By the way, this might have been related to the spate of account removals they did for sanctioned countries — https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/29/...

And how is this affecting Github itself in any meaningful way? I don't think "using the service in the way it was meant to be used" somehow excludes you from their own terms o...

Yes, that's my point. Why? We don't actually know. We assume it's because of the sanctions, but it could be due to any number of reasons.

I can assure you that's far from the case. Look, think of it this way. What if a suspected member of ISIS opens a repository?

How does this do type-hinting? I find that incredibly useful as a feature, no matter what language I'm working on.

Yes, but would you rather not use something that does request→response along with the other things you mentioned?

Which is what necessitates my question. Is this group the right place to discuss this?

Aha @codexetreme do you remember the project we had for the same thing?
