If I read that backtrace correctly (its formatting is a bit messed up), then this is far away from your code. Your code (you should take it to codereview.stackexchange.com, btw, there's lots to improve) doesn't look like it could cause that to me. The only obvious mistake is the lack of virtual destructors. — Ulrich Eckhardt 24 secs ago

I don't see this question getting any useful answer, I think you should add more context (maybe in another question) as to why you need to save some bytes, in which context and the kind of data you're handling. If it's a piece of code that uses too much memory, you could ask the CodeReview SE how you could optimize it memory-wise. If it's data persisted on disk, there might be smarter encoding schemes than the one you're using. If you're wondering how to solve frequent OutOfMemoryError or a panicked GC, you might want to learn how to analyse heap dumps — Aaron 38 secs ago

Q: The Best™ class

Simon ForsbergHave you ever wanted to get just not one "best" element from a list, but all of them, or a random element of the best ones? That's what the Best class is here for. Opinion-based? Definitely not! Features: Should work with any kind of element. Should always keep track of the best elements seen ...

@brug Is something new going on on MSE?
 
Just the same unending vitriol
Except most of the reasonable people have fled because it is nasty and it is turning into an echo chamber of hate.
 
@SimonForsberg @rolfl I guess you don't speak Kotlin, but I'd love your opinion on this one. I think it's a class you might like (it is the Best after all)
 
@pacmaninbw A certain person at work is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
 
@brug Anything worth reading?
 
@SimonForsberg UGH I hate how you format your Kotlin.
 
7:24 PM
@410_Gone What's wrong with it? Because it uses Egyptian braces?
 
It just, I don't like it at all.
fun randomBest(): T {
    return bestElements.random()
}
 
@410_Gone Sorry to hear. I wish it was MSE drama. That seems easier to walk away from.
 
I would make all those one-line.
@brug It is what it is...I made it clear that we are not going to address this any time soon because we have money-makers that are not working we need to fix first.
 
@410_Gone Ugh... that's actually possible...
fun firstBest(): T = bestElements.first()
 
@SimonForsberg That's why I hate it...lol More whitespace than I prefer too
 
7:26 PM
    fun randomBest(): T = bestElements.random()
    fun getBest(): List<T> = bestElements.toList()
    fun firstBest(): T = bestElements.first()
    fun isBest(element: T): Boolean = bestElements.contains(element)
    fun getBestValue(): Double = bestValue
 
Much better
 
@410_Gone Asking for permission to invalidate your chat message :)
 
@SimonForsberg Feel free. :)
Much better.
 
I honestly forgot about that feature
 
Much like C# and Java I don't do whitespace after opening or before closing braces, but it's really up to you.
 
7:28 PM
Thanks for reminding me how awesome Kotlin is
 
It's a great tool. :)
 
@410_Gone Example?
You mean empty new lines or what?
 
Yeah
No empty line after thing {, just start the stuff.
class Best<T>(private val valueFunction: (T) -> Double) {

    private var bestValue: Double = Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
class Best<T>(private val valueFunction: (T) -> Double) {
    private var bestValue: Double = Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
Instead of the first, I do the second.
But, that's a stylistic choice.
 
Aha. Yeah, for some reason I found it more pleasing to do the first.
 
Well if you're going to do the first, do it everywhere.
So for your test class, add a break before the closing brace.

@410_Gone Huh, turns out that was actually a copy-paste error from my code
 
Well good, because now you have an answer. ;)
@SimonForsberg I wrote my answer without an IDE so I might have syntax messed up, but the point stands.
 
7:53 PM
@410_Gone Point understood, comment added
 
Already responded. ;)
But, subclass, provide your own functions for those, and create the valueFunction version.
 
Subclass, hmm? Well, classes in Kotlin are final by default, surely I could make it open, but I'm not sure it can be done in a nice and clean way
 
You don't have to subclass, but my point is there are ways to do it.

@410_Gone That was a nice example because it will really hit home to the alt-right extremists
Not that I expect them to be swayed.
 
@brug @410_Gone That answer is quite good isn't it? Or is there something wrong with that answer that I'm missing?
 
@SimonForsberg I was referring to the question and situation with my comment.
 
yeah the presumptuousness of the question is a bit preposterous.
 
@410_Gone Ah, right.
Yeah, the reason for why the answer was required in the first place is a bit sad
@brug Those are two words I am A) very impressed that you (supposedly) can spell. B) not sure what they mean.
 
@brug I'm not a mod because I would not "assume good faith".
 
I mean a moderator on another site was actually arguing that the name should stand
@SimonForsberg the fact that the user thought we were stupid enough to buy their act is extremely absurd.
also, I have a spell check extension.
 
@brug I'd need a dictionary extension
 
8:24 PM
@SimonForsberg Don't you mean thesaurus?
 
Well, English is my first language. So I know some of the big words
 
Or even better: Inverse dictionary. If I write something normal, I'd like some tool to translate it into something fancy.
 
Occasionally I throw them around to make sure everyone else knows I know them.
