A couple weeks ago I made a joke about how perhaps we'll finally get a standalone JetBrains Git client for the tenth anniversary of the YouTrack ticket feature request. And today...

It's been a long time since I experimented with Android on Raspberry Pi. I flashed the latest LineageOS and was blown away by how well it runs. Very responsive and everything I tried worked; including a USB audio. It's finally time to build my dream music player!

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

🚀 Should you use Kotlin Sequences for Performance?

I have always thought that using asSequence() was the way to optimize chained operations in Kotlin.

But after benchmarking, the results shocked me: Sequences are often slower! 😱

Should you use Kotlin Sequences for performance? I put List, Sequence, and Flow to the test with kotlinx-benchmark, and the results were surprising!

Hey #AndroidDev! Ever turned on wireless debugging only to walk away from the device and it went to sleep? Or used a long USB cable and didn't want to reach for the device to unlock it?

I have found the necessary ADB commands to never get up from your chair again.
Commands to unlock an Android device via adb. The first command is "adb shell input keyevent 82", the second is "adb shell input text "1234"" or whatever your passcode is, and the third command is "adb shell input keyevent 66".

I've always used Make as a command runner for projects, and for some reason never searched for an alternative that fit my needs better. Just is exactly that!

If you're writing Gradle plugins in Kotlin, I wrote a small guide about possible pitfalls in the Gradle cookbook.
Kotlin plugin development - Gradle Cookbook
Gradle Cookbook is an open-source collection of recipes, guides and examples for the Gradle Build Tool. This is a complementary resource to the official Gradle User Manual.
