A set of instructions on how to fix the harfbuzz + Infinality issue and restoring good-looking, Infinality-like font rendering.

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.

Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.

Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

Using Kotlin in Android projects

What is Kotlin?

Kotlin is a programming language backed by JetBrains, the company that develops IntelliJ IDEA, which is the backend of Android Studio. After five years of development, version 1.0 was released in February, 2016. Kotlin compiles to JVM bytecode that is fully compatible with the Android platform. The developers even pay special attention to it by providing libraries (for example Anko), tooling and more.

It is a language designed for interoperability with Java code, which allows for a gradual migration from Java to Kotlin. The tooling is great and aids usability much. Additionally, picking up the language is very easy if you already know Java, since the syntax and concepts are similar, while still providing a lot of value for developers held back by the bad Java support on Android. Most developers are currently limited to Java 7 or even Java 6 and it will take a long time before we'll be able to properly use features like lambda expressions to make code mo

A list of every data exchange formats I could find

At work, I just spent the last few weeks exploring and evaluating every format I could find, and my number one criteria was whether they supported sum types. I was especially interested in schema languages in which I could describe my types and then some standard specifies how to encode them using an on-the-wire format, usually JSON.

  1. Swagger represents sum types like Scala does, using subtyping. So you have a parent type EitherIntString with two subtypes Left and Right represented as {"discriminator": "Left", value: 42} and {"discriminator": "Right", value": "foo"}. Unfortunately, unlike in Scala in which the parent type is abstract and cannot be instantiated, in Swagger it looks like the parent type is concrete, so when you specify that your input is an EitherIntString, you might receive {"discriminator": "EitherIntString"} instead of one of its two subtypes.
  2. JSON-schema supports unions, which isn't quite the same thing as sum types because

How to make faster Android build without sacrificing new api lint check

Original solution sacrifices new api lint check.

Here my solution:

int minSdk = hasProperty('minSdk') ? minSdk.toInteger() : 16

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
