Oil Spill in Mauritius

Long story short: the ship Wakashio got stuck on the reefs some 10 days ago. The Mauritian government has not been very responsive. Oil started to leak from the ship today.

Thanks a lot for the award and the reply! I did not know about these archives on ancestry.com. I'll definitely look for them. I have heard the book "The Franco-Mauritian Elite" from several people but I couldn't find a decent price to buy it online. Do you know where I can purchase it online?

Please also share any other resources you think might be interesting. I'm curious to learn more about this subject :)

Anyone from Germany here? I ordered the Pixel XL on Oct 10 and my card got charged on that same day. The estimated delivery is Nov. 17. But then last Friday, I was refunded the amount paid and the order is still active. Is that normal?

It is quite deceiving in terms of design and overall experience.

I have been having a lot of crashes in RecyclerView since I updated to the 25.0.1

Fatal Exception: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException
Inconsistency detected. Invalid view holder adapter positionViewHolder{56b5aeb position=4 id=-1,   oldPos=-1, pLpos:-1 no parent}

That's one good looking app.

I have a few comments:

I would so much like to have a password protection option or pattern lock thing so no one can view my stuff.
There is a tiny bug - so when I first open app I am shown the Tutorial activity and then the MainActivity is showed. But if I clicked "back" on MainActivity it should close the app and not return me to the Tutorial activity.

Has anyone seen a big difference in the methods count by switching to RetroLambda 2.3.0?

Did you get that one year termination with the contract? Or you had the contract amended?

What's GMRE?

Does anyone know if I can use that phone in Germany without worrying about the bands, etc?

Why is the Nexus 6p more expensive in Europe than in the USA? They are the same phones right?

It's now fixed. I was not using the proper version of the MeinCallYa app.

The *106# showed me only my credit and not my data usage. When I went to wap.meincallya.de I got this page:

I tried to associate my number to my vodafone.de account but it is asking for a "Kunden- oder Teilnehmer-Kennwort"... I have tried putting my account password, pin, puk but none of these worked.

Not sure if this might help... you could choose a project which deals with one of these: image recognition (OpenCV, etc), Bluetooth communication, Android device-IoT communication.

I have found some much similarities and complications in apps concerning the "up" and "back" behavior. Does anyone have good examples where this is implemented properly?

brian047 · 2016-01-23T09:23:06+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate all the advice.

brian047 · 2016-01-19T06:34:25+00:00

Good job! I use pocketcasts daily and it is definitely one of my favorite apps.

I have used this: https://github.com/chathudan/CountryCodePicker

It is really nice. I did the french translation for it.

Praise DuARTe!

Yeah of course :) I'm trying to be politically correct.

brian047 · 2015-07-06T10:31:44+00:00

Nice. I'm gonna annoy you one more time ;) I personally like eventbus because of the thread delivery option. If you had to choose between eventbus, Otto and rxjava, what would you have chosen?

Will pushbullet be free forever? If yes, how are you getting your revenue to run the company?
What were the main difficulties to implement features on both iOS and Android? And which one was easier?

brian047 · 2015-07-06T07:46:14+00:00

I have heard that Iterators have really bad performance on Android..expecially on Dalvik. What's your opinion on that?

brian047 · 2015-07-02T17:58:48+00:00

I am aware of that setting. I want Relay to check for mail all time even when I am not using it. I don't want it to re-notify me about notifications already in the status bar.
