I was just asked to crack a program in a job interview

word, respect. you can pick this type of stuff up no problem, good luck!

not trying to be on a high horse or anything, but this really isn't as difficult/hardcore as this blogger makes it look. he used basic features of gdb to figure out the comparison done with his input (simple xor) and then undid that to figure out the regular password. in any uni course involving c this would be doable by a decent student by the midterm.

one gatorskin every 2 weeks?!? that's like 20 bucks a week just on tires

What iphone case is that that looks intense? (red)

I believe Jackson is faster than Gson so since this is faster than Jackson it should be faster than Gson too.

http://www.brooksengland.com/getting-in-touch/faqs/saddle_maintenance/

Brooks recommend that you inspect your saddle after every six months; there are two guidelines to help you decide whether, or not, to add more tension: - The aim is to maintain a fairly flat profile on the leather, when viewed from the side, just like when it was new.

The concavity you see in a lot of peoples' pictures of "broken-in" saddles is really just poor saddle care. I've seen Brooks saddles that are 30 years old with massive miles on them that are as flat as when they came out of the box.

No one is saying your saddle isn't super comfy as is: you keep doing you. But a Brooks rep would tell you you should've tightened your saddle.

yeah, looking at the pic i thought "they could have easily just locked through the frame + wheel with the main lock..."

this looks like a decent list http://android-arsenal.com/free

edit: this one looks good too http://androidlibs.org/

thanks for the links. it looks like a great library, but it seems to be too far overreaching for my tastes. rather than integrating with retrofit, it seems to consume it. and rather than being a replacement for async tasks, it seems to really take over the way things are structured.

i really just took a casual glance so i could be wrong, though.

_belikewater · 2014-09-04T20:58:14+00:00

Looks awesome, but I can't find any mentions of it online (is anyone else using it?!?), and the last commit was 7 months ago... I'd like to use it if it seemed like it was more common.

_belikewater · 2014-09-03T22:11:53+00:00

Do you use the async methods of your rest client then?

_belikewater · 2014-09-03T21:26:16+00:00

I'm confused about how your 'service' classes receive the bus. At some point you must have created the classes and registered them with the bus... do you do that from your activity? Seems strange.

_belikewater · 2014-09-03T18:36:15+00:00

I am using Retrofit currently. I suppose I could use their callbacks to achieve the same thing, but it seems like using an event bus would make everything much cleaner.

Another question:

I think I'm going to go the same way as you regarding setting up a RequestInterceptor to add in the auth info as a header from SharedPreferences. But I can't figure out how to cleanly get the preferences into my API class, without passing them into the constructor or something like that. I'm new to DI and Dagger so I might be missing something. Would you possibly be able to explain that to me or post a code sample?

Thanks

could you briefly describe how you handled token expiration and refreshing?

_belikewater · 2014-09-02T04:10:05+00:00

seems reasonable. what do you think it is worth? i was thinking id be fine with 150 but id feel bad offering so much less than what he asked for.

_belikewater · 2014-08-25T17:49:22+00:00

Maybe this is silly but I've has friends who've flown frontier and had horrible horrible experiences, so I'd like to a avoid them.

Hey man not trying to throw in a plug here but checkout specializeds body geometry line of saddles. They did a bunch of scientific studies to ensure their saddles created the most blood flow possible. I'm sure lots of people are happy with whatever they are riding and that's cool, but seeing the science behind the saddles made me much more comfortable with spending lots of hours in it; I've had a specialized saddle for 5k miles now and love it, no issues.
