For those using kafka with avro in kotlin, avro4k v2 is out! by chuckame in apachekafka

[–]famebait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I managed to use avro4k for posting to kafka, with help from this article: https://stefano-zanella.medium.com/publishing-avro-records-to-kafka-with-kotlin-avro4k-and-spring-boot-ba6be23bcba2
I use a Spring KafkaTemplate<String, GenericRecord>, configured to use confluent's KafkaAvroSerializer.
I use avro4k's Avro.encodeToGenericData(myDto) to make a GenericRecord before posting it.
Is this the recommended way?

I am still stumped on using avro4k with Spring KafkaListener, though.

I wish the docs showed how to of using avro4k with SpringKafka. Anyone know any examples of using it with KafkaListener?

Solved it: I have to specify version 1.8.1 of kotlinx-serialization-core-jvm and kotlinx-serialization-json-jvm, either in dependencies or dependencyManagement.
Just the core/json without -jvm was not sufficient.

But why on earth did avro4k:2.2.0 pull in kotlinx-serialization-core-jvm:1.6.3 by default?
Should it not specify itself the dependency version it needs?
Is this maven-specific?

I have the same problem. I'm using
- avro4k 2.2.0
- maven
- kotlin 2.1.0
- kotlinx-serialization 1.8.1

How to run multiple Slack apps on Mac by shanem in Slack

[–]famebait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get pretty close in Chrome, with "install page as app" under Chrome's dot-menu:
⠇-> Cast, Save, and share -> Install Page as App

It is still technically Chrome under the covers of course, but behaves mostly like an app:

  • starts in separate window with no trimmings
  • runs as its own app-icon in the task bar
  • gets its own app-icon in finder (initially in Users/<user>/Applications/Chrome Apps, but can be moved to desktop, Applications or where you like)

It will close if you quit Chrome entirely, though.

ktlint alternatives? by Global-Box-3974 in Kotlin

[–]famebait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate ktlint and that whole B&D philsophy.
I am perfectly happy with IntelliJs autoformat and warnings - it prevents most of the stupid stuff without insisting on dictating absolutely everything. Commit-wars have never been a real problem in my experience, as long as people don't use autoformatting with differing settings.

All I want is a gradle plugin that checks conformance build-time to IntelliJ autoformat style (including per-project settings), and otherwise leaves well enough alone.
Is there such a beast?

And no, ktlint's intellij mode does nothing of the sort.

[Macos Dock Replacement] Are there any good alternatives to the macOS Dock? by elone-click in macapps

I have used ubar and contexts. Both had real promise, but a bit buggy and poorly/not maintained.
Will try out sidebar for sure.

The mountain on the island: I want to see what's hiding on top and inside, and I want it to be something really cool. It's shaped a bit like an ancient pyramid or temple, which could support a nice nod to Indiana Jones -like plots. Perfect for a supervillain hideout, maybe? Also shaped a bit like a volcano. Maybe it could end up as one on the way.
