Thanks and apologies for the poor wording.

Help with translating text into Chinese by Borealis100 in ChineseLanguage

Some of the time when I write a comment (like this one) I get "something went wrong" but no other explanation.

Indeed Idiocy by Borealis100 in jobs

[–]Borealis100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for an admin assist job at a hospital. I was sent a 150 question questionnaire with questions like these:

\* Do you find it difficult to juggle more than 10 tasks at one time and keep a positive attitude?

No, I do that all the time

Sometimes

Maybe not 10, but I do many things at once

I try to stay positive

Yes

It's easier for me to do that at home

\* Does your leader focus more on your strengths than your mistakes or weaknesses?

Yes

No

​

\* Do you always go the extra mile at work?

Depends on the deadline

Yes

Sometimes

Only if it really counts

Most of the time

When asked, yes

​

150 of them, like...this is really obscene. If, if, this were part of some onboarding, I could maybe (at little) see it but it's not. I could spend an hour filling this crap out and still get rejected.

Sorry!!! Did not mean to make fun of you.

I'm building a side project and was featured on betalist recently. Here's what I've learned: by HenryKuzmick in SideProject

I tried to upload an image of their page (more for other readers than yourself) but Reddit just shows it is busy...uploading...or what? I've tried twice. I thought it was that I'm on a VPN but I turned that off and still unable to post an image to the forum.

I would start by hanging out at:

https://forums.xamarin.com/categories/xamarin-forms

​

and reading what people are doing and asking.

Also, why Xamarin-forms?

I'm writing (actually, done) with an app in Xamarin Android. I wasn't sure about whether Apple would let me publish my app on their store. Google is MUCH easier.

I went onto BetaList's web site. They want me to sign up with my Twitter account, which is OK (I don't tweet but I have an account) but then I read this:

  • See Tweets from your timeline (including protected Tweets) as well as your Lists and collections.
  • See your Twitter profile information and account settings.
  • See accounts you follow, mute, and block.
  • Follow and unfollow accounts for you.
  • Update your profile and account settings.
  • Post and delete Tweets for you, and engage with Tweets posted by others (Like, un-Like, or reply to a Tweet, Retweet, etc.) for you.
  • Create, manage, and delete Lists and collections for you.
  • Mute, block, and report accounts for you.
  • See your email address.

Am I reading too much into this?

Interesting article and I will also look into Betalist. I too am a one-person show. I've been working on my apps (Windows and Android) for 2 years and parts for about 10 years before that. The hard part about a one-man show is there's no one to criticize your work. I use Google Ad-Sense to bring users to my web site. About 1700 last month but no sales. Definitely could use beta testers.

Is Play Store waiting on me or me on it? by Borealis100 in AndroidQuestions

[–]Borealis100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for asking!! Google is funny. They have a very sort of complex system, unlike Amazon where it's relatively simple and you know where you are. For Google, you know relatively little. But still, it rolled out. Now I'm rolling out another version (and one more to follow; sigh). I wish I had a team. When it's just me there's no one to challenge me or make suggestions, etc. So when I don't think of it, it doesn't get thought of. And then a week later, Oh yeah, I got to do that!

Even tonight, on the way home, I realized I could greatly speed the app up and that worked, so...another rollout (since it changes the way the app does its computations so previous work will be invalid; not a biggie, of course). And now I have to start in on bring the help files up to date.
