They’re trying to cross the United States in full self-driving mode and have an accident before reaching 100 km! #Tesla
Part 2 is now live. Head over to YT and see for yourself in 4k the moment we went airborne in our new Model Y. I am not pleased to share this video, but I am also not one to trick or deceive people. This whole experiment was to show how good FSD really is today, and although this moment didn't live up to my expectation, it is still incredible what FSD does every single day. Please be open minded, understand I don't enjoy the look this has, nor did I intentionally do 10's of thousands of dollars in damage to our brand new car, but it is important to share the good AND the bad at all times.

👋 Ktor (ktor.io) is pretty cool for building apps with Kotlin. But how would you call it? a framework? a library? or a toolkit? Please vote and tell me why you preferred the option 🙏 #kotlin cc @JetBrainsKtor
36%Ktor is a "library"
44%Ktor is a "framework"
20%Ktor is a "toolkit"

I can be a bit more specific why I prefer Kotlin over C#. First of all, async await is ugly with all those Cancellation tokens all over the place. Kotlin coroutines are far superior. Second, the builder pattern has invaded .NET and I just cannot stand that, where in Kotlin you have DSLs. Related to that, nullary functions in Kotlin are awesome. Third, extension methods in C# are ugly and not only are they much better designed in Kotlin, they are also supercharged with content receivers. I can go on and on, but those are enough to not bother anymore with C#.

Using Compose Desktop, I rapidly set a visualization of an old coding game generic algorithm. I was able to fine-tune the parameters and finally got it working (7 years later) :-)

I have to agree. I will never be a Java hater. And I appreciate the very real progress in Java 17+. I deliberately worked with Java 22 for months before trying Kotlin. But Kotlin is just better, if you have the choice. And if you don't,the JVM and Java ecosystem is still amazing
If you want to use Java, that is totally fine. But please stop saying it has caught up to Kotlin feature-wise. There are many great things about Java and the JVM ecosystem. It’s a big tent with a lot of sharing across Java, Kotlin, Scala, etc.

🌐 The Android Jetpack Journey Google presented the migration of an Android library used by millions to Kotlin Multiplatform. This showcases the significant work involved in a smooth transition and Google's commitment to KMP.

➡️Lifecycles, coroutines, and scopes Alejandro took a step back to present the use of coroutines in various use cases. Highly recommend this talk for those a bit lost in coroutine concepts.
