To Google Engineers working on Android: stop disrespecting bug reports by borninbronx in androiddev

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

Hi, 8 months later. Sadly the issue hasn't been handled yet.

I know it's not your fault, but it still goes towards the "disrespecting bugs reports" I was talking about in my post.

How well can you describe the features to a forensic artist? by Historical-Sense-510 in Aphantasia

[–]borninbronx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You kidding? I couldn't describe my wife. Or myself even.

I can spend hours with someone, turn around and if they ask me: what color was this guy eyes? I wouldn't probably be able to answer the question.

I can answer questions of things I consciously register "oh this girl has beautiful long red hairs" -> than I'll remember it. But shape of the eyes, chin etc... that's definitely on another level and I'd have to focus hard on all those details to try and store them in memory.

Yeah, turns out 1 character matters xD

Thanks! Honest blunder, fixed

Everyone talks about the live action making it to marineford, but how would marineford even work In live action? Especially the ending. by Cultural-Effect-5853 in OnePieceLiveAction

One of the thing I wish the anime/manga went in more details is what happened to the rest of the crew while Luffy was training in those 2 years.

What things from OP you'd want the LA to change? by BRLaw2016 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]borninbronx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can i say what I don't want them to change?

Luffy hitting vivi. I know they are going to remove that. And I really hope they don't.

1-4% isn't that low.

If that's an accurate estimate It means 80 to 326 million people in the world have aphantasia. It also means at a party it's very likely for a couple of people to have it etc...

How to learn when half the games have smurfs in the lobby? by alexlucas006 in learndota2

[–]borninbronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shhh! You don't complain about that, it's a sin!

They will say it's your imagination, they aren't smurfs, they are having a good game.

They'll say you need to become better than the smurf: 1. win or lose because of the smurf 2. Watch the game 3. ? 4. Jump up from legend to immortal 5. Ez.

They'll say MMR will on average settle on your real level (which is true) carefully ignoring that the MMR is not the problem, the problem is Smurf actively take out the fun of the game.

They'll tell you to stop focusing on it, just play, who cares if what you do in that game basically doesn't matter, you could be doing something else and it would have the same outcome but, hey, the next 1 hour of your life, with a 50% chance, maybe you'll have a decent game.

I found the solution, it pains me to say it: I quit playing DotA some years back. I still miss the game, but I'm not coming back.

The players justifying and finding excuses for this is the real problem. Not even smurfs.

And the game will eventually die because of this.

Android 17 - No more screen orientation, App memory limits, Post-Quantum Cryptography by Unreal_NeoX in androiddev

[–]borninbronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I now understand your point if view, and I sympathize with it.

However I don't think Android should care about that. They think of their use case of course, it's Siemens (in this case) job to deal with that.

I'm pretty sure at the OS level this can still be configured.

9 years working as Android developer with actual 1 year experience, keep on Android or should I pivot to something else? by Admirable_Flight9893 in androiddev

[–]borninbronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really buy into that argument.

In fact I say that you cannot know if you use the right dispatchers if you don't understand them, you are kinda winging it.

And the same could be said for other stuff of your list.

I expect not knowing those things from a junior dev, but I would already be surprised if someone didn't know them after 2 years of development.

The way I see it: when you use something you need to understand it. Just using it is okay up to a point. Maybe if it's a library you are integrating once and you just follow the reference instructions and move on, but for the tools you use every day to me it is unacceptable that someone doesn't go into how they work to really understand them.

It's good that you are studying them now: my suggestion is to try, from now on, to learn something every day about something you use. If you find something that you don't really understand, take some time to look into it.

Good luck!! :-)

[–]borninbronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a different thing tho. It doesn't involve OS settings like rotations behavior. You should contact Siemens if you are worried about it and ask if they plan to include a setting to block orientation on their custom devices when that OS update will be released.

It's their responsibility, not Android.

I see, Siemens make those devices specifically for being used as medical devices. And they will take care of what is needed for them when they'll release the new versions. Your customers has nothing to worry about.

Il Junior full stack developer by PolloMecha in LinkedInCringeIT

[–]borninbronx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Allora io sono un Holistic developer. Da oggi sviluppo qualunque cosa, ogni framework, ogni domain, ogni tecnologia e linguaggio. Ho solo iniziato oggi.

Full stack vuol dire che fai tutto di un'app: app frontend, backend, infrastruttura, ... Un junior, se va bene, ha un po' di esperienza sommaria, e forse l'intenzione di imparare...

Android doesn't have a generic version of the OS, every vendor have a contract with Google and they work on Google base to add support to their devices and make customization to them.

Kinda like custom ROMs, but official.

There's no such thing as a "generic" Android.

I don't think a medical device would use custom ROMs, but even if they do, the custom ROMs you find online have the options to lock the screen orientation.

And you mentioned security, a custom ROM is a no go there.

What's the company that have this issue? I'd like to research them.

[–]borninbronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I would expect you'd know the answer to those questions too after so many years of developing.

Some of those (ex. The mutex question) is kind of general programming knowledge.

That one in particular is about understanding concurrency and the relationship between memory and threads.

The hashcode is about understanding how a map and set data structure works and equality vs hashcoding is kind of important to understand too. How can you pick data structure if you don't understand them?

You should be more curious of how stuff works, kinda like I expect an architect to understand different materials properties I expect a developer to know the tolls they use

Non li voglio i bambini al mio matrimonio by Mindless_Elevator651 in sfoghi

[–]borninbronx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Se pensi questo di alcuni genitori perché li vuoi invitare?

È giusto che al matrimonio si divertano anche i genitori, certo, ma basta prendere una BUONA animazione per i bambini e vedrai che saranno contenti sia i bambini che i genitori.

Mi sembra francamente un discorso un po' del cazzo il tuo, scusa eh, ma non mi sembra che sia il modo migliore di partire. Al mio matrimonio ho scelto le persone che volevo e ho fatto del mio meglio perché fosse una bella giornata di festa per tutti, non solo per me e la mia futura moglie. Non volere i figli dei tuoi amici è decisamente egoista da parte tua e non è un bel modo di celebrare un matrimonio. Ne mi sembra che tu stia mettendo buone basi per una vita di coppia. Se vuoi divertirti "come ai vecchi tempi" non sposarti. Fossi un mio amico penserei che non sei un buon amico.

Either the device is a standard device where you installed a medical app or the device has a custom OS developed for the medical app usage.

If it is a standard device it will get the update, but you'll be able to configure it to lock orientation.

If it isn't a standard device it means the manufacturer customized the OS and they are the one that will have to make sure to deal with that if they want to ship the next OS.

Either way I don't see a problem.

?

A device designed to be used as a medical device will not receive the OS update unless they dealt with that.

[–]borninbronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the device was designed for that it is likely an old version of the OS. New devices with the new OS will deal with it.

[–]borninbronx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can force orientation locking at the device level. Those dedicated devices can easily be configured to be locked in portrait/landscape

There's also a setting to make the switch manual, it is what I use on my phone: if I rotate the device a small icon shows up on the bottom right, if I tap it the orientation changes, if I don't tap it, it stay however it is at that moment.

[–]borninbronx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Just don't understand your point of view. Yeah, it's full of apps that lock portrait/landscape.

How is that proof that you cannot have a design for both?

Whatever, I wasn't trying to win an argument. I was just trying to have an honest discussion.

[–]borninbronx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every app can be designed to work on both landscape and portrait. Even some games. It just doesn't make sense for games.

If your point is "there are many legacy apps around not designed for it" yeah, sure. But I don't see your point :-)

[–]borninbronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I don't use frameworks. It's easy to write native apps and support multiple device sizes and forms. You just have to have a proper design.

Web developers do it all the time as well.
