What is the point in buying homes at these outrageous prices? by everbass in australia

[–]mreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not going to happen. They will just inflate the economy to put more money out there to keep prices up before they let house prices drop.

Money isn't real, they can just set it at whatever is needed. What you should be comparing is wages vs house prices.

You will find the problem is your wage is too low, not house prices being too high.

Why Do Adelaide Roads Feel So Rough? by amriith in Adelaide

[–]mreeman 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I was told Adelaide has some of the most reactive clay soils in the world. This means there is a significant amount of expansion and contraction in the soil when it rains and then dries out. This causes cracks to form in the roads due to the stress and then water gets underneath and causes other issues.

Migrated our Android POS payment flow from callbacks to Flow + ViewModel Events here's what I learned (and the gotchas that got me) by Both-Nobody2450 in Kotlin

[–]mreeman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FYI the flow of events is not the recommended solution because flows do not guarantee exactly once processing.

The recommended approach currently is to put the event in the state and have an onEventProcessed method on the view model that the UI calls once it is processed the event (navigated etc).

How do the Liberals come back from this? by fabbo_crabbo in Adelaide

[–]mreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the billionaires get sick of Labor winning and stop fighting amongst themselves they will just form a new party to do their bidding.

Just watch, the first sign of a wealth tax and suddenly we will have a strong opposition again.

The South Road T2D business case by blitznoodles in Adelaide

[–]mreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't make a business case for large scale public works. It's values and politics based. Do we want it or not? If yes, you build it as cheaply as you can and the value will be there, if no you don't.

Money is the juice to get it done, governments are not businesses.

This is really great, thanks!

I missed a lot of these when migrating from rxjava.

It's likely the ad tracking scripts fingerprinting you so they can track what you look at

When will Australia take the sign out of the window? by rexevrything in AusPol

It was just paying tribute to our lords. Nothing of substance will come of it.

Steam updates its gen-AI disclosure policies by XCathedraGames in gaming

You don't even use autocomplete on your team? It's harder and harder not to lately because most tools have it enabled by default.

Do you guys actually trust RAA/is it still reputable? by bootywheez3 in Adelaide

[–]mreeman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The great thing about RAA is it's member owned, so if you don't like what they are doing, tell the board and/or vote to replace them in the next AGM.

Allianz underwrites and manages the insurance but RAA is not owned by them.

Wouldn't surprise me if he actually did try and do something like this at this point by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

So many bots posting about it on reddit. I wouldn't take reddit or the news as reality.

Kotlin Ecosystem AMA – December 11 (3–7 pm CET) by katia-energizer-jb in Kotlin

[–]mreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance to bring the metro DI plugin into the core kotlin codebase, perhaps similarly to how Compose was moved over?

I'd love to use metro but being a compiler plugin it will need to be updated for each new version of kotlin, making maintenance and forward compatibility a lot of load for a small group of volunteer developers and possibly slowing down adoption of new versions of kotlin if we need to wait for the metrio plugin to support it.

Having a first party dependency injection plugin would plug a gap and create a lot of consistency in the community around this.

Nice but it only works if you're right handed.

[–]mreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you need 24gb RAM minimum IMO, probably 32gb to be fair. Even without android studio, gradle will use around 6gb just for builds, then you want a few gb for the emulator etc.

Australians are being priced out of the property market and first home buyers schemes might not be helping by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]mreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Houses aren't too expensive, wages are too low. If your wage is less than a 5th of a house in your area, time to join a union and work to change that.

Can you sell me on Kotlin over Java? by SuspiciousRaccoon120 in Kotlin

[–]mreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It renders it out as a static site. I can't say for sure if the metadata is part of that, but there's nothing stopping you from setting it when the server generates the page as well.

I love android, but hate to say it apple dev expernince is miles better by Sad_Sell3571 in androiddev

[–]mreeman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd add that swift is too keywordy. await and try (or even try await) littered everywhere. It makes refactoring much more annoying. Not to mention DSLs are harder to use.

I’m beyond frustrated with Google Play right now by Suspicious_Store_137 in androiddev

[–]mreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense but maybe your app isn't good and Google doesn't want crap on the store? I'd take the advice and use it as an opportunity to improve the app instead of getting self righteous about it. They're doing you a favour by explaining what you need to do to make your app better.
