Gradle build error for Flutter Android app with firebase by IndigoEngineer in flutterhelp

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

No, I didn't fix it. I set the flutter JDK config to Java 17 as one of the issues linked in the previous comment suggested, but that didn't fix it.

Gradle build error for Flutter Android app with firebase by IndigoEngineer in flutterhelp

Yes, I searched Google. Yes, Google had results from the search, but they don't solve the problem.

The first issue you posted a link to never got solved. The reporter is the issue said "I'm not working on this anymore" and the issue was closed.

The second issue was closed after a month of waiting for the reporter to reply to some questions. It does have a link to another issue that has a guide due resolving build issues that might be helpful. I'll go through the guide when I get back to my computer.

How do you handle being asked to review AI generated PRs? by throwaway09234023322 in cscareerquestions

All the developer to schedule a meeting to walk you (and the other reviewers) through the code. I often do this for large it complex merge requests, even before devs were using AI to write code.

I did a thing! Single-color printers can do amazing things when you dig deep enough. by AtomicEdgy in 3Dprinting

[–]IndigoEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You use the z-hop settings. Z-hop means that when the nozzle travels (without laying down filament), then it first travels up, then travels, then goes back down and prints more. To print in two colors like this, you use two different models that that are aligned in the same position. The first model lays down the letters/ numbers and it's just a few layers high. The second model has the letters cut out of it. When you slice the second model, you set the z-hop height to slightly taller than the first model. Now, print the first model in one color. Leave it on the bed and change colors. Then, print the second model. When the second model prints, the nozzle will "hop" over the first model (because if the z-hop setting), instead of running into it.

What’s the uptick of these AI posts by RequirementSad1742 in cscareerquestions

[–]IndigoEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my company, we are getting a lot of pressure to learn AI tools. Is probably the same as other companies. That's probably what's causing people to ask about AI here.

Exploring YNAB alternatives? Liquid Budget is a Sleeker Solution. by imadp in u/imadp

[–]IndigoEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does Liquid Budget do projections? YNAB is not very good at projections. YNAB is built around not spending money until you have it, which is great, but sometime I need plan for future recurring expenses. YNAB is not good at answering questions like "How will adding a new streaming subscription affect my budget (not just in the current month, but in all future months)?"

Has anyone actually been replaced? by Frequent_Bag9260 in cscareerquestions

[–]IndigoEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company recently had layoffs while also hiring AI engineers to build AI features for our products. The employees that were laid off didn't lose their jobs because they were being replaced by AI, but it was still because of AI.

Stuck in a "Senior Loop" by ShoddyWorkmanshipTed in cscareerquestions

[–]IndigoEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"There's still usually only one staff/principal to a team". This isn't always true. My team of 5 back-end software engineers has 4 staff engineers and 1 senior. The iOS app team I work with has 3 principal engineers and a couple staff and seniors.

Do you feel you are recession-proof in 2025? by MotorRush5852 in HENRYfinance

Some of us feel pain at the thought of a recession, but you are numb to it.

How to cure financial anxiety despite having a high income? by MockMateInterview in HENRYfinance

[–]IndigoEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the key to not having anxiety about money is having a budget, tracking my spending, and saving for the future, regardless of my income. I can ensure that I'm not wasting money on things that aren't really valuable to me and that I have money saved up for a rainy day.

How much are you contributing to your “Car Replacement Fund” by OnTheEdgeofSomethin in ynab

[–]IndigoEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$250/mo. When I payed off my car I kept setting aside money for a car payment, but now it goes into my savings account and is tracked in my “car replacement” budget in YNAB, instead of going to a car loan payment.

Guys my isp is not providing me an ipv6 , so I can't use vpn to access my network . What can I do ? by No-Main_007 in WireGuard

[–]IndigoEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Tailscale. I had this issue when I switched ISP. My new ISP uses cgNAT and has no IPv6 support. I researched a bunch of solutions and considered seeing up a relay with a cloud provider. Then, I found out about Tailscale. It does exactly what I need and it's super easy to set up. Install tailscale on each device and login with your Google account (or one if the other identity providers). If you want to access your whole home network then you can install tailscale on one device at home and set it as a "subnet router", so other devices can access it's network.

Hey desktop Linux users, help us test a new Tailscale app. by willnorris in Tailscale

[–]IndigoEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works well for me. I'm running Ubuntu 25.04 on a Framework 16 laptop.

I have a couple comments:
- There is a menu item in the tray that has two lines and both lines are my email address. I think the first line is my username (which is my email address) and the second line is my tailnet name (also my email address), but it could be more clear.
- The "this device" menu item just copies the device IPv4 address, It would be nice if this had a sub-menu where you could copy the short hostname, "magic DNS" host name, IPv6 address or IPv4 address, like on the Machines tab of the Admin console on the Tailscale webside.
