Out of curiosity, would they be subject to these laws/protocols/regulations if they are (developers or organization) based in the US, but offer releases hosted elsewhere in the world AND/OR develop the product with code hosted elsewhere in the world?

It is informative, but how often does the average person read this kind of information? Especially when they are set on doing something simple, such as turning off Bluetooth. What if you never use the settings menu, and only turn it off from the notification drawer? They never see that information. Not to mention that it’s such a small option (even though it’s a big paragraph) that they make it seem like they don’t want the user to disable it completely.

What they should do, is when the user disables Bluetooth the first time (anywhere on the phone), a pop up is at least shown to instruct the user that it is still scanning in the background. That way the user is informed. OR, hear me out, have background scanning disabled by default and prompt the user to enable it the first time they disable Bluetooth.

I had a college professor who called it “C hash”, so I’m inclined to name them “Hashers.”

A free for all, late Friday deployment is baffling… We’ve got a strict window of Tuesday-Thursday for releases (unless it’s a critical issue), and a 2-3 day merge freeze to help mitigate unexpected changes.

We’ve got a relatively small team with LOTS of moving parts, so minimizing deployment issues is always top of mind.

Well, there’s something I haven’t thought of before haha. That’s too simple. I will have to try that next time I have a chance!

I unfortunately can’t tape anything where my cat’s water is, because it’s in front of an attic door that I access from time to time… Unless I stock up on tape and re-tape it every time.

I bought one of those last year. It was tipped over and water was all over the floor. So that asshole just has a normal bowl, and he seems content.

Boxes serve him well. My cat gets very bored of a toy after using it maybe once or twice, so buying toys is basically a waste. Just cut some string, or tinfoil ball, etc, and it’ll make him very happy.

8 ball pool. The popups/ads suck, but you can play time attack mode on single player offline. Also a good time killer while online.

I was heavy into skateboarding as a kid, and I was interested in making some skateboarding media website with images and videos. I had initially began with wix, because I had no idea programming was a thing (I barely used technology, or even a phone). I messed around with it for a while, and then learned that I could make websites with just a simple html file… And the rest was history. Ended up getting into PHP, then game development with Java, etc.

I don’t know the full details, but I’ve read that Apple may be dropping the requirement to use WebKit within third party browsers in the near future. Something to look forward to.

Staying on the SQL theme… The company I work for has a fairly old (~20 years) system. There’s a feature for users and site admins to export massive amounts of data, with the option to export data from when the system was first released. Purely CSV or XML data formats. On large datasets, the time for export would vary from 10-20+ hours, and would frequently timeout, forcing you to split exports into multiple timeframes and manually merging them into a single file. The solution? Indexes! Indexes were non-existent. After adding them, export times have dropped to ~10-15 minutes, which is a rather insane performance increase, especially since a single export is accepted per account at a time.

TerraFirmaCraft is also something that came to mind, but this seems to fit OPs request better.

Yeah, same here. I spend all day at a computer, last thing I want to do is spend more time at a computer. I’ve also spent more time working on my own vehicle’s, and just generally being outside more often.

One thing that I do enjoy from time to time is graphics/game programming. Nothing really ever results from any of my projects, but it is something I enjoy, as i don’t do graphics programming at my job… It’s usually systems/web development, so the difference in the type of projects I choose to do as hobby programming has helped for me.

…2 years ago, Rocket League. Last year, RL. This year, RL. Next year, RL… It never ends. Really the only game I never get bored of, and I have an embarrassingly amount of hours on it. Almost purely snowday.

The college I went to taught COBOL in 2 mainframe courses, and as far as I’m aware, they still do.

It was either you like it, or you absolutely despise it. It wasn’t all the difficult, but it is very different than your standard java, C#, C++, etc, so the syntax really throws people off.

We will issue a software update for users in France…

So this applies to only devices sold in France? I’d love to know what changes to the software are being made to deal with radiation.

I had painted an old Lenovo desktop blue to use as a home server. Named it blueberry. Recently upgraded servers using a black case. Named it blackberry.
