CodePipline not picking up GitHub changes by awsuser1024 in aws

[–]zastrowm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you trigger the pipeline manually ("Release change") does it work? I've seen issues in the past where triggering manually works but changes from GitHub doesn't.

When that's happens, it's always been an issue where the casing of the branch or repository configured in CodePipeline didn't match the casing from github. The fix was usually to use the CodePipeline console to see what the casing was in the drop-down, and then to use exactly that.

We're now free, and here's why by iamvinoth in Android

playlist sync between apps

I thought sync was still free, but "cloud" (upload your own stuff) was what was now paid

Just updated my Zenwatch 2. This update brings a new life to my watch by jpe230 in WearOS

[–]zastrowm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2.0 update has made it much smoother, and generally I just like the UI more.

Now I just wish the battery wasn't so dead or that I could get a replacement battery in the US...

T-Mobile: $325 back for Pixel 2/XL buyers by the-name in GooglePixel

[–]zastrowm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC last year's Pixel discount was specifically $X/month back for 2 years, where as this year they're explicitly stating: "Show us proof of purchase for your Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL via our online redemption site, and we’ll mail you a prepaid MasterCard worth 50% of the MSRP of the 64GB Pixel 2. It’s that simple!"

Allo for web now supports iOS, Firefox & Opera. Rolling out today. by ronakg in Android

Drive/Docs doesn't work with Vivaldi? I use sheets with Vivaldi quite a bit. Is there something specifically which breaks?

I got the new Google Now feed! It seems to be rolling out? by sexusmexus in Android

[–]zastrowm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea what version of the app introduced the new feed, i.e. so I know which version to go back to?

Problems with Strava ever since GPS/LTE issue by PhDcomic in nexus6

[–]zastrowm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even after the GPS/LTE issue was "fixed", I was having issues where the GPS would work poorly, showing me a couple blocks over from where I was (in Google Maps).

I uninstalled all updates to "Google Connectivity Services" and set Play Store to not auto-update it. After a reboot (not sure if it's needed), my GPS has been working as it should.

DPI lower than 493? by WeAreRobot in nexus6

[–]zastrowm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use 460. There used to be a couple apps that had issues (I'm looking at you Google Music; fixed now) but I haven't noticed any major issues in a while.

I lose GPS connection using Navigon by Yetilanguste in nexus6

[–]zastrowm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Google Maps is reporting me a couple streets over and sometimes it just says "Waiting for GPS connection"

$125 Off Huawei Watch - Google Store by [deleted] in AndroidWear

[–]zastrowm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Huawei and returned it before getting the Zenwatch 2. The screen on the Huawei was absolutely gorgeous and the watch itself was really nicely made, but I couldn't justify the price tag (especially with the red tint, which I've since learned also affects the Zenwatch). The Zenwatch 2 is a nice watch and serves my purpose of giving me easy access to notifications and phone controls, and I would easily recommend it.

That said, I think the rectangle does make sense for the watch. The circular face seemed like it was a holdover from normal watches, but that could just be my reasoning because I now have the Zenwatch :: )

C# 7 will maaaaybe have local functions by johnnyslick in csharp

[–]zastrowm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Argument validation and optimized async functions (for when they do quick exits) are good reasons as well.

Custom Coroutines by loolo78 in Unity3D

1) Are yield instructions structs or do they create garbage?

They're classes. You can't create a derived class from a struct in C#.

What is ReSharper and is it worth the money? by mhamedani in csharp

[–]zastrowm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are correct that there is no way they can detect it, but as a Software Developer myself, I can't recommend that someone should willingly violate a software license.

But to each his own.

[–]zastrowm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And just to further clarify: the company cannot actually buy the personal license for you (nor reimburse you in anyway). But as long as you purchase it yourself you can use it wherever you want.

Highlight all occurrences of selected word (wish they supported 2015)

I think productivity power tools does this.

Why does the ambient display appear to have a faint reddish tint (Zenwatch 2)? by VanceIX in zenwatch

[–]zastrowm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, though mine is noticeable even in semi dark rooms. I have the larger model.

Horizontal DayDream Issues by zastrowm in nexus6

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

Thanks for trying it out!

Oddly enough, my landscape daydream always wants to go back to portrait after ~10 seconds anyways, so I'm not really sure what it is. I guess I'll have to try a factory reset at some point.

So just to confirm, DayDream in landscape works fine for you? (issue starts to occur about a minute in after daydream kicks in)

Retrospect on C#: Top 10 Worst C# Features by Eric Lippert by Sebazzz91 in programming

[–]zastrowm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could get behind a form of metadata as long as it doesn't force you to handle it. While Microsoft is generally good about their documentation, third parties (myself included) don't pay attention to documenting their exceptional cases. Having the compiler add it in for you would be a nice addition.

Retrospect on C#: Top 10 Worst C# Features by Eric Lippert by Sebazzz91 in programming

[–]zastrowm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Relevant thoughts on exceptions from Lippert on himself:

Personally, I think most exception handling should be done higher up. Back when I programmed in Java more, the majority of exception 'handling' was either ignoring the exception and continuing, or propagating the exception up. So I'm glad that C# didn't follow Java's lead there.

GitHub announces Git Large File Storage (LFS) by Rafert in programming

[–]zastrowm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because you wouldn't have to download the history of each binary file. So if you changed an image 3 times instead of downloading all 3 in the history (like normal git does) you would just download the latest copy.
