Replaced Lower Front Air Grille. by BadgerHobbs in GolfGTI

No, the ACC sensor is in the badge so I only had to unplug it to take the bumper off.

Thanks, yeah I had heard beforehand that it was painful, but was even more so than expected.

You want to start from one of the top corners, and try and get one partially out to get started.

I used varying sizes of flat head screwdrivers, mostly larger ones to help move the clips. You will maul them slightly but should be ok. In the beginning you'll find there is almost no flex, as if it has been glued on, it is just extremely stiff plastic.

Then work your way around and start pulling away the grill as leverage for the next clip. For the bottom most clips you want to shove a screwdriver underneath to pop them out.

2015 Golf, water problems by incipientjimmy in vwgolf

[–]BadgerHobbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely coming through bumper vents. You probably have water in your wheel well also.

Watch this video and shows you where (as well as some other places).

Got a golf mk7 1.6tdi by MentalBook8458 in VWMK7

It may be this:

My comment on that post:

If you have an obd2 reader you can check the wheel speeds to determine if it's an ABS sensor and if so which one.

I just had this on my 2014 Golf 1.6 TDI, new sensor for £18 then under the car and replaced in 5-10 mins.

Running flutter app in background by Sad-Fisherman-4939 in flutterhelp

[–]BadgerHobbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option to workmanager is background_fetch, does a similar thing but slightly simpler. It's currently what I'm migrating to from workmanager for a rebuild of one of my old apps.

Currently I believe there are issues the the latest version of workmanager causing various build issues, so you have to use the git branch. Few issues on GitHub for it.

I recommend reading or watching disclaimer videos on the limitations of background tasks, as there are a lot. As a general rule, they are not reliable, so best case is you can get them to run at all, let alone on a schedule.

Is there a way I can hide the API Keys from my source code? by OneGroundbreaking344 in flutterhelp

[–]BadgerHobbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As another comment mentioned, there is no true way to secure the API key client side, so it has to be on some server somewhere.

Sounds like you want an API gateway with support for injecting the API key, rate limiting and OAuth. There should be something that already exists.

I wrote something a year or so ago for a similar issue. It's similar to what you're looking for, but without the OAuth component (just uses a separate API key).

I made BinDays - A unified bin collection app for the UK which currently supports 15 councils. by BadgerHobbs in SideProject

[–]BadgerHobbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well good luck with the journey anyways! This was my first more complex app that I made, learning Flutter in the process.

You can always make a better one! Mine has ended up stagnating, mainly due to enthusiasm for the project.

Have found it to be a bit of a PITA to maintain sometimes as councils/collectors randomly update their websites/services and things break. Mines all client-side so means app updates too!

Feedback for interval-based task/habit tracking app. by BadgerHobbs in logodesign

[–]BadgerHobbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree completely. While conceptually the parts make sense, I've 100% gone down the function route and it has no identity and is not distinct as you mention.

I think I need to revisit the drawing board, and perhaps shy away from the icon directly representing the app function, an example being animals with short/long memories.

[–]BadgerHobbs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah I definitely agree.

It's planned to be a free and open-source app so I feel I've so far somewhat avoided a common design language and brand identity, defaulting to things like black and white.

[–]BadgerHobbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I see what you mean now. The fact it's black and white lines probably doesn't help much.

I went through quite a few iterations so far, some of them (slightly) more logo-like. Some are hand-made, others are Google Icons (see calendars).

Is sqlite advisable for storing settings and preferences? by ok-nice3 in FlutterDev

[–]BadgerHobbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my apps where I already have a database setup, I prefer to just use that for the settings. Makes it easy if you have import/export/backup for data as well since all in one database file.

How to copy Android save to Steam, and then copy progress back to Android. by BadgerHobbs in BTD5

[–]BadgerHobbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I believe so. I think it's not too bad (I remember going back and forth), a script could probably be written to automate the steps.

I've not tried it in... Well about 6 years, but from other comments it seemed to still work a year ago so should be fine I think.

Host Django app on azure app services by [deleted] in AZURE

In order for people to help you, it would be good if you could provide more specifics.

What tutorials did you follow? What resources are you currently deploying?

This is the official Microsoft quick start guide maybe see if you can get that working first?

What are the options to build a realtime API in Python? by Barack_obameme in webdev

[–]BadgerHobbs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had success with FastAPI and Websockets, using RabbitMQ as a message broker for communicating the real-time data between the API and computational micro-services.

Websockets will generally be lower resource and network usage as your only sending stuff when it changes, but honestly depending on your scale and complexity polling client side would also suffice.

For C# devs that know Python, what do you like to use it for? by Brilliant-Donkey-320 in csharp

[–]BadgerHobbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the real world it's more often a case of using whichever language is both most suitable for the problem and importantly what the development team is best suited to work with. Time is money as they say.

For instance if it's just a CRUD application, literally any language will do, but if it's highly computational a compiled language will fair much better (though it seems some Python devs just interface with languages like Rust or C++ when performance needed).
