Type-safe arguments in Jetpack Navigation Compose

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 20:07:00 +0000

NavigationComposeTyped in action

Jetpack Navigation Compose is the Jetpack Navigation library enhanced for usage in Compose. But the actual “enhancement” is a bit limited and different from the View-based navigation. Most importantly, there are no SafeArgs — a type-safe compile time solution for passing arguments between destinations. Navigation for Compose uses a simple URL pattern — arguments have to be converted to a string as a query parameter/path segment.

CatBoost C++ library

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 19:51:00 +0000

In this article, you will find information about our implementation of the CatBoost C++ library, the reasons why we wrote it, and how to optimize C++ computations based on memory reorganization and vectorization instructions.

Kiwi.com open sourced a new CatBoost applying library written in C++ with reasonably good optimizations and without dependencies. It means you can use this library in your projects to apply CatBoost models without huge catboost official library dependency. Moreover, it is possible to integrate this library into your build process.

Announcing Crane — a GitLab CI-ready image for deploying to Rancher

Mon, 26 Feb 2018 10:54:00 +0000

We’re happy to finally write about our latest larger-scale open source project: Crane.

We use Rancher for container orchestration extensively at Kiwi.com, and saw a need to streamline our release process. Even though Rancher’s sweet web UI makes the manual upgrade procedure at least bearable, there’s still plenty of things to manage around announcing and recording deployments. Crane is our attempt at automating as much of this as possible.
