**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Sep 14 02:59:58 2016 Sep 14 03:00:05 Hey all, anyone working with JNI stuff? I'm trying to load an SO library and I get this error, which I don't understand Sep 14 03:00:10 dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "__aeabi_memcpy" Sep 14 03:02:01 is it possible to create a layout-xxhdpi folder? Sep 14 03:02:14 or should i be using swdp, wdp etc Sep 14 03:02:15 it makes no sense to Sep 14 03:02:41 what about for drawables? Sep 14 03:03:01 for example if I have drawables-xhdpi, and drawables-sw600dp, which one is more specific? Sep 14 03:06:02 anyone? Sep 14 03:19:07 the precedence rules are documented Sep 14 03:20:15 https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#QualifierRules Sep 14 03:20:41 https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#table2 Sep 14 03:20:57 > Table 2 lists the valid configuration qualifiers, in order of precedence—if you use multiple qualifiers for a resource directory, you must add them to the directory name in the order they are listed in the table. Sep 14 03:33:24 "Andreessen noted that researchers are currently using “Grand Theft Auto V” to teach their artificial intelligence algorithms how to drive (among other games)." :O Sep 14 03:38:16 g00s: as in datamining players?! Sep 14 03:40:59 no, as in supervised learning Sep 14 03:42:40 tensorflow has GPU support, i wonder how this works on android ... or doesn't Sep 14 03:42:42 Oh Sep 14 03:52:36 Wow, pfn called JakeWharton an "asshat". Sep 14 03:55:36 Is there a way to disable AS from prompting me to sync gralde? That popup is so annoying when it's not necessary to sync. Sep 14 03:55:54 you can work offline Sep 14 03:56:13 arancio: who's pfn? Sep 14 03:57:48 surf2b1: I don't know hot to disable it but it happens rarely to me. Only when I actually change the gradle scripts. Is there something wrong in your system? Sep 14 03:58:30 arancio, it only happens when I modify a .gradle file. However, still annoying. Sep 14 04:00:32 surf2b1: ok. Sorry I can't help you. In my experience it is necessary to allow a correct analysis of the source code. Unless it's possible to have gradle synchronized automatically without a prompt Sep 14 04:01:47 surf2b1: tx said "you can work offline". If was a suggestion for you, probably. There is a "Offline work" setting for gradle. No idea of what it does Sep 14 04:03:15 is adding a product icon to the app bar not a thing anymore? Sep 14 04:04:11 I guess so Sep 14 04:04:33 so not Material Sep 14 04:05:08 booo Sep 14 04:05:11 it looked nice Sep 14 04:08:36 Material is inspired to real objects and real objects don't have the brand stamped all over them... wait, no, they do Sep 14 04:10:59 I was wondering, do the missing pixels corresponding to the rounded corners of the iPhone 7 have an associated place in memory? Did Apple invent memory blocks with round corners too? Sep 14 04:14:36 arancio: Yes. It stems all the way back to teh first version of Macos Sep 14 04:15:00 Look at the top left and right corners here: Sep 14 04:15:00 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/50/Apple_Macintosh_Desktop.png/300px-Apple_Macintosh_Desktop.png Sep 14 04:15:52 loke! You survived? Sep 14 04:15:59 Of course :-) Sep 14 04:16:02 Back in SG now. Sep 14 04:16:16 good trip? Sep 14 04:16:28 Leeds: Yeah, not complaining. Sep 14 04:16:36 Now I realise that I need to go mountain biking in HK Sep 14 04:16:48 next time Sep 14 04:17:00 Also, I'm curious as to why so much of the HK land has not been built up. Not complaining, just wondering. Sep 14 04:18:18 a lot of what it's built up is steep hills, or islands, or out of the city Sep 14 04:19:26 er, a lot of what isn't build up... Sep 14 04:20:37 out of built-up areas, the standard 'village house' is 3 floors, either divided, or used as an extended family home Sep 14 04:21:39 Leeds: Are those affordable? Sep 14 04:21:58 they're a lot cheaper than urban homes, yeah Sep 14 04:22:33 Why aren't more people staying there? Is it like my house, taking an hour to get to town? Sep 14 04:22:51 (without car) Sep 14 04:23:01 'villages' vary wildly in their level of development and accessibility, some are not particularly friendly to outsiders... Sep 14 04:23:59 Leeds: yeah, brits can be like that Sep 14 04:24:13 some have a 5 minute local bus ride to a fast train, some have 1 30-minute bus per hour to change to a longer bus Sep 14 04:24:31 VerbalKint: brits? Sep 14 04:24:37 Leeds: :D Sep 14 04:24:53 Leeds: was a joke :P Sep 14 04:26:14 Leeds: but couldn't you just get around from village to village or to the next fast train by bike? Sep 14 04:26:41 bike? Sep 14 04:26:44 It can't be much more than a few kilometers distance at worst, so bike+ride seems useful Sep 14 04:26:47 Normal bicycle Sep 14 04:27:07 justJanne: you often go biking in 30+ degrees, 95%+ humidity, tropical rain? Sep 14 04:27:13 Leeds: I do. Sep 14 04:27:20 loke: yeah, but you're weird Sep 14 04:27:48 30+ and 95% humidity is perfectly normal weather. As long as there is a shower in the office there is no problem. Sep 14 04:27:51 loke: and for your commute? shopping? or for fun? Sep 14 04:27:55 Well, about every day in summer as kid I biked in 32°C and 95℅ humidity Sep 14 04:28:02 Just no tropical rain Sep 14 04:28:04 shower in the office? who's going to pay for that? Sep 14 04:28:10 I want to bike to the office, but my current location makes that infeasibile. Sep 14 04:28:10 Bout 4km to school, 4km back Sep 14 04:28:27 And my neighbors, several of them PhDs, bike to their offices, too Sep 14 04:28:40 justJanne: What country are you in? Sep 14 04:29:01 Northern Germany, but I tell you, we really get those temperatures in summee. Sep 14 04:29:04 *summer Sep 14 04:29:29 Although only since around a decade or two Sep 14 04:29:50 But dunno, I've only lived on this planet for two decades Sep 14 04:29:50 anyway, no, people don't commute by bike here - there are a couple of areas out of town that have infrastructure for recreational biking - we go sometimes in winter, rent a bike for the afternoon Sep 14 04:29:51 justJanne: It's standard everyday wether here in Singapore. Sep 14 04:30:19 Loke: that's why I wanna move to SG, you guys have always summer. Sep 14 04:30:23 Leeds: Biking has started to take of in SG in the last few years. The givernment is also trying to encourage it more. Sep 14 04:30:31 justJanne: you know what 'summer' means in the tropics, right? Sep 14 04:30:36 Here it's 9 months of the year 15°C and rain Sep 14 04:30:46 You guys have 30°C and rain Sep 14 04:30:54 Just like we do in summer. Sep 14 04:31:00 justJanne: I'm from Sweden originally. Trust me, I know how ohrrible European wether is. Sep 14 04:31:45 In particular, northern European. Sep 14 04:31:50 Leeds: hot weather and rain, a friend from singapore said Sep 14 04:32:02 Oh, and humidity Sep 14 04:32:04 Only 32C? Here in southern Romanian we get days with 40C during the summer Sep 14 04:32:06 Come to Scotland Sep 14 04:32:11 Sounds awesome Sep 14 04:32:12 and you'll experience the most miserable weather ever Sep 14 04:32:15 we have sun once a year Sep 14 04:32:17 lots and lots of rain Sep 14 04:32:22 and I say that as a Brit Sep 14 04:32:23 justJanne: There is lots of rain, but it's not horrible rain. A rainfall typically doesn't last long, and everything is completely dry 10 minutes later. Sep 14 04:32:54 So, your weather would be described as "showery" Sep 14 04:32:59 loke: we got stuck in a chicken rice shop by the river last time, waiting for the rain to finish Sep 14 04:33:03 justJanne: I guess it could, yeah. Sep 14 04:33:12 justJanne: why would you switch *Germany* for Singapore? Don't you know that except for the tourist and rich people zones the country is poor as hell? Sep 14 04:33:24 VerbalKint: Which country? Sep 14 04:33:25 Leeds: are you actually from Leeds? Sep 14 04:33:34 VerbalKint: Germany is poor as hell? Sep 14 04:33:37 Faizan: yes Sep 14 04:33:48 loke: no, Singapore Sep 14 04:33:53 VerbalKint: That's not true. Sep 14 04:33:55 VerbalKint: you realize singapore gained independence decades ago? Sep 14 04:33:57 I was down there 2 weeks ago for the cricket Sep 14 04:34:01 miserable place :D Sep 14 04:34:29 justJanne: oh Christ, just looked it up right now and it seems to be an Asian tax haven Sep 14 04:34:41 Faizan: I went to school in Headingley Sep 14 04:34:44 Well, it's not a tax haven technically Sep 14 04:34:52 Ah nic. That's where I was at Sep 14 04:34:53 Look at their taxes Sep 14 04:34:56 Trent Bridge as well Sep 14 04:35:06 justJanne: just a tiny nation :P Sep 14 04:35:07 Car tax was what, 300k a year? Sep 14 04:35:13 VerbalKint: I've lived in singapore more well over a decade now, and sure, the taxes are pretty low, but calling it tax haven is not true. Sep 14 04:35:32 VerbalKint: they started as the port between asia and europe. Sep 14 04:35:49 Now China wants to build a canal through malaysia, to cut them out of the trade route Sep 14 04:35:52 Yeah, just like Liechtenstein isn't a tax haven here in Europe either Sep 14 04:36:26 Well, they're more like the dutch Sep 14 04:36:30 I mean, why would capitalists exploit tiny nations with low populations with easily exploitable banks? Sep 14 04:36:47 And by exploit I mean use them Sep 14 04:36:51 A bit tax haven, a bit port, a bit actual 3rd sector Sep 14 04:37:10 They have their own laws, their own nation, their own banks, they're a tax haven Sep 14 04:37:36 Then why isn't hamburg a tax haven? Sep 14 04:37:46 Given the fact that you started out saying Singapore is "poor as hell" thus proving that you actually know nothing about the place, makes me wonder exactly what point you are trying to argue. Sep 14 04:37:54 States in Germany can set their own taxes independently, Sep 14 04:37:59 justJanne: it's a city Sep 14 04:38:03 Can writ most of their own laws Sep 14 04:38:12 VerbalKint: it's also a state in Germany, Sep 14 04:38:29 With the right to set its own laws, tax rates, etc Sep 14 04:38:32 justJanne: then why is there this pattern of tiny, independent states being tax havens? Sep 14 04:38:42 justJanne: no federal law to combat that? Sep 14 04:38:46 Nope. Sep 14 04:39:07 justJanne: maybe because tiny, independent states are more easy to manage :P Sep 14 04:39:21 There's a village in bavaria where half of IT companies are technically HQd with I think 0.3% corporate tax? Sep 14 04:39:48 justJanne: http://www.taxhavens.biz/other_tax_havens/tax_haven_singapore/ Sep 14 04:39:50 So, why isn't such a thing true about every micronation or microstate? Sep 14 04:40:52 what is offtopic topic today? Sep 14 04:40:55 justJanne: uh... it is? Sep 14 04:41:20 That's what you call a tax haven? Sep 14 04:41:24 justJanne: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-35998801 Sep 14 04:41:26 The dutch have lower taxes, Sep 14 04:41:31 And the fucking irish Sep 14 04:41:36 european microstates can't write shit without american approval Sep 14 04:41:50 justJanne: look at this list; most of them are micronations Sep 14 04:41:53 Singapore has 18% corporate tax, only on local profits. Sep 14 04:41:59 Like most nations do Sep 14 04:42:12 Ireland does 12%, only on local profits Sep 14 04:42:26 Netherlands are around 18%, too Sep 14 04:42:46 Even parts of Germany (!) would be a tax haven by that definition Sep 14 04:42:52 justJanne: and you're right about Germany it seems because the states indeed can make their own tax rates :P Sep 14 04:43:08 justJanne: you're ranked as 8th on that list Sep 14 04:43:36 Yet we have one of the largest tax budgets in the world, Sep 14 04:43:44 justJanne: just admit that you're upper class and have lots of upper class friends :P Sep 14 04:43:48 With dozens of billions in excess, Sep 14 04:44:04 One of the best public healthcare systems, Sep 14 04:44:05 Etc. Sep 14 04:44:21 Calling Germany a tax haven really is a stretch Sep 14 04:44:49 Schrödinger's Germany, one moment "communist bernie-topia", the next moment "tax haven"? Sep 14 04:45:33 I pay around 8% tax here :D Sep 14 04:45:48 paid my 2015/2016 tax last week, in fact... Sep 14 04:47:11 Leeds: I pay about 12% I think Sep 14 04:47:23 But HK is more of a tax haven than Singapore. Sep 14 04:47:44 lol, this isn't about YOU guys, it's about the corporations and the really rich Sep 14 04:47:50 all online, which is nice - request for tax return, submission of tax return, payment demand and payment Sep 14 04:48:08 loke: significantly, HK has no military budget - that comes from China... Sep 14 04:48:16 Singapore also have a progressive tax scale. It tops out at 20%, Sep 14 04:49:01 Singapore military is supposedly one of the strongest in the world (by capita of course :-) ) Sep 14 04:49:25 HK has both a flat and progressive rate, you pay whichever is cheaper for you... and as I said, they tend to adjust the rates, or give significant discounts, based on each year's government surplus Sep 14 04:50:02 android developer? Sep 14 04:50:33 Novus: bourgeoisie vs proletariat war right now. Android development later. :P Sep 14 04:50:46 VerbalKint: in which case you'd open a Ltd in London, Sep 14 04:50:57 O.o Sep 14 04:51:03 Or directly do a double Dutch Sep 14 04:51:03 What's the simplest way to reduce button opacity on click Sep 14 04:51:52 We did in a school class once, groups of 4, cooperating with a local bank, we'd create fictional companies, and set up real accounts for them and try to go as low tax as possible Sep 14 04:52:12 Faizan: after click or during click? Sep 14 04:52:16 during Sep 14 04:52:34 For the background, use a statedrawable? Sep 14 04:52:38 since after its clicked it launches a new activity Sep 14 04:53:22 android:state_pressed? Sep 14 04:53:23 okay Sep 14 04:53:26 thanks Sep 14 04:53:34 Leeds: But you also have no GST Sep 14 04:53:55 loke: indeed... the government keeps trying to bring one in, and they get so much opposition that they drop it Sep 14 04:54:14 well, they've tried at least a couple of times :) Sep 14 04:55:10 To be honest, as much as I dislike GST, it's the most fair tax that I can think of. Sep 14 04:55:15 Must more fair than income tax. Sep 14 04:55:38 That said, the 25% GST in Sweden is just insane. Sep 14 04:56:13 GST? Sep 14 04:56:19 What's that? Sep 14 04:57:16 justJanne: Sales Tax Sep 14 04:57:27 If it's "general sales tax", then no, sweden doesn't have one Sep 14 04:57:34 GST means Gsomething Sales tax :-) Sep 14 04:57:39 Sweden has VAT Sep 14 04:57:48 justJanne: Which is the same thing. Sep 14 04:57:54 like the entire EU, per EU law, between 5 and 25% Sep 14 04:57:57 No Sep 14 04:58:07 GST means Goods and Services Tax actually. Sep 14 04:58:13 A VAT applies only to sales to the last consumer Sep 14 04:58:23 justJanne: Same Sep 14 04:58:32 If I buy a product, and sell it again, i get the tax for buying back Sep 14 04:58:35 With vat Sep 14 04:58:38 justJanne: Same. Yes. Sep 14 04:58:43 With sales tax Sep 14 04:58:53 *not with sales Sep 14 04:59:08 justJanne: You just described, exactly, how GST wirks in Singapore. Sep 14 04:59:12 Fucking android keyboard is dying here, constantly oom-ing and crashing Sep 14 04:59:21 Then SG has a VAT Sep 14 04:59:38 Not a sales tax Sep 14 04:59:46 And a VAT is very unfair Sep 14 05:00:15 https://www.iras.gov.sg/IRASHome/GST/GST-registered-businesses/Learning-the-basics/Goods-and-Services-Tax--GST---What-It-Is-and-How-It-Works/ Sep 14 05:00:39 For poor people, roughly 80-90% of their income is spent on items with VAT, so they are taxed 20% alone due to vat Sep 14 05:00:58 For rich people, most of their money is spent on things that are not affected by VAT, Sep 14 05:01:04 So they end up paying less Sep 14 05:01:10 justJanne: What are those things that are not affected by the tex? Sep 14 05:01:12 tax Sep 14 05:01:27 justJanne: you have that anti-PM feature on your account? Sent you a PM Sep 14 05:01:42 Hey guys Sep 14 05:01:51 how do I programatically tell the OS that a wifi network is not for internet Sep 14 05:02:04 I am using wifi to connect to a local device only (adhoc) Sep 14 05:02:10 Commonly, the money is saved in other countries and repatriated during repatriation events Sep 14 05:02:16 and I don't want the OS to try to connect to the outside world using it. Sep 14 05:02:20 tx: you can't, realky. Sep 14 05:02:39 justJanne: you can by using the connectivitymanager if you have access to the code Sep 14 05:02:41 Welcome to android, our slogan is "you can't" Sep 14 05:02:44 but in this case it's for another app :P Sep 14 05:03:17 aw well Sep 14 05:03:20 time to look for hacks Sep 14 05:03:41 justJanne: I noticed that at least in Nougat the phone will not try to connect to the Internet on a non-functioning WLAN connection. I noticed that when my home router had a cinfig issue and refused to route to the Internet. Sep 14 05:04:02 it does this based on connectivity tests Sep 14 05:04:09 I am configuring the AP programatically in my ap Sep 14 05:04:12 app* Sep 14 05:04:15 Instead, it kept the WLAN active (with a question amrk on the toolbar symbol) but used LTE for Internet. Sep 14 05:04:25 and I want the "oh shit there's no internet on it" to be immediate Sep 14 06:27:29 Is it good practice to check for an internet connection before trying to connect to google play games? Sep 14 06:28:14 raoul11: shalom. The opera download train has crashed. Also, I think that I got even those few because Opera distributes to Yandex too. Sep 14 06:28:41 crashed? Sep 14 06:29:04 raoul11: as in it started going down instead of up :D Sep 14 06:29:11 it is usually good for check for internet connection before doing connection stuff Sep 14 06:30:31 oh Sep 14 06:31:30 try amazon VerbalKint Sep 14 06:31:42 raoul11: I did. 2 downloads thus far. :D Sep 14 06:31:47 i never uploaded there, but some of my games suddenly appeared re-packaged there Sep 14 06:32:08 raoul11: repackaged as in someone stole them? Sep 14 06:32:16 yep Sep 14 06:32:38 Damn bastards Sep 14 06:34:01 i only knew about it coz those games included some 3rd party sdk's (ad networks) and suddenly i had weird package names appearing on my accounds Sep 14 06:34:54 raoul11: lol, did that mean that you were getting ad money from their clicks? Sep 14 06:35:09 was barely no money, but yes Sep 14 06:35:54 raoul11: then what's the point of them repackaging your apps? Sep 14 06:36:14 i have no idea Sep 14 06:36:26 it just happend like 4-5x Sep 14 06:36:33 <_genuser_> hey android devs, what's shakin'? Sep 14 06:37:31 hello Sep 14 06:37:33 _genuser_: doing the ad hustlin' game. Gettin' money. Sep 14 06:38:10 <_genuser_> api 19 is 27.7% distribution on api dashboard. The highest of any single api. I do'nt want to exclude it, but it's becoming quite annoying to code for it thigns that are easy in 21 and above. Sep 14 06:38:16 <_genuser_> https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html Sep 14 06:38:25 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: oh? what app are you writing? Sep 14 06:38:53 _genuser_: have already written. Now I'm sucking at promoting it. Sep 14 06:38:58 *written it Sep 14 06:39:09 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: what is it, if you don't mind mentioning it here. Sep 14 06:39:27 ahh good ol, release the app, marketing later Sep 14 06:39:51 _genuser_: what the app store needs right now: history trivia :D Sep 14 06:39:57 <_genuser_> Ashiren: I'm at the write the app part. but same idea. heh, write, release, wait for money bit, lol. Sep 14 06:40:57 <_genuser_> Ashiren: my last one tho, released it for free. Sep 14 06:41:34 a lot of 21 stuff has been ported back _genuser_ Sep 14 06:41:48 god bless that quanky supportlib Sep 14 06:42:11 still its not the same Sep 14 06:42:22 kitkat is the new 2.3.3 Sep 14 06:42:27 lies Sep 14 06:42:56 I'm supporting all the way from 4.0.4 :D Sep 14 06:43:03 i thougt bout doing kitkat+, but those 18% share for 15-18 bugs me Sep 14 06:43:23 <_genuser_> raoul11: except the rounting the image part... ugh, took me a long time. all night trying out xml based ideas. Finally just wrote a helper util that loads a circular image into an ImageView. Sep 14 06:43:32 if youre doing kitkat then why not 16+ Sep 14 06:43:37 they dont differ much Sep 14 06:44:50 Guys, please stop mentioning sweets. I'm on a diet because I'm trying to lose weight but if you mention sweets I get hungry Sep 14 06:44:54 why not ics plus? Sep 14 06:45:44 VerbalKint: did you store your trivia on SQLite? Sep 14 06:45:46 <_genuser_> Ashiren: jelly bean and upward? Sep 14 06:46:04 <_genuser_> Ashiren: I hadn't really thought of it, but it says it's only 5.6% of the distribution. Sep 14 06:46:26 <_genuser_> 17 - 7.7% (kinda high) and 18 is 2.3%. waste of time if they cause more bugs. Sep 14 06:46:35 arancio: yeah Sep 14 06:46:50 <_genuser_> I would have honestly dropped support for 19 also.... excpet my Samsung Galaxy Alpha is API 19, LOL. Sep 14 06:46:57 <_genuser_> my older tester phone is api 21! Sep 14 06:47:46 VerbalKint: and how do you seed the database? Sep 14 06:48:02 arancio: seed? What? Sep 14 06:48:36 VerbalKint: how do you put the trivia in the db? where does the data come from? Sep 14 06:48:59 arancio: you mean insert entries? I use sqlitebrowser Sep 14 06:49:39 VerbalKint: and the you install the db as an asset? Sep 14 06:49:47 arancio: yeah Sep 14 06:49:57 VerbalKint: thanks! Sep 14 06:49:59 arancio: just put it in the assets folder Sep 14 06:51:03 VerbalKint: my application doesn't need seeds at the moment. The database is on the server. I was just thinking to your one. Sep 14 06:51:21 VerbalKint: I'm reverse engineering it Sep 14 06:51:37 arancio: :P Sep 14 06:54:11 arancio: I read this https://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/databases.html Sep 14 06:55:34 VerbalKint: yes, I read it too. Unfortunately many d.androind.com pages contain code snippets without context. I hate that Sep 14 07:00:18 VerbalKint: what's the demographic of your app? Sep 14 07:00:53 arancio: anyone :D Sep 14 07:01:16 What sticks Sep 14 07:01:29 :D Sep 14 07:01:51 I meant: does google play provide any statistics? Sep 14 07:02:23 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: my friend was coding his app, and actually had the web site, android, ios apps all done, didn't push it out over team disagreements. Sep 14 07:02:51 <_genuser_> but he actually hired out a marketing firm that said they have a launch plan. $5,000 and they'll create a plan to market it and push it out Sep 14 07:03:18 arancio: can't seem to find one Sep 14 07:04:05 _genuser_: what kind of app, if I may ask? Sep 14 07:06:24 arancio: 100% male, lol :D Sep 14 07:06:43 :-) Sep 14 07:06:54 VerbalKint: that's because of the nude pictures Sep 14 07:07:01 arancio: of course :P Sep 14 07:07:09 VerbalKint: age? Sep 14 07:07:18 arancio: 25-34 apparently Sep 14 07:07:28 But who knows how many people just put random dates Sep 14 07:07:36 I know I do Sep 14 07:07:37 right Sep 14 07:08:47 <_genuser_> arancio: he was working on something called a waitergator. you can place your order for drinks and meal before you get to the restaurant. Sep 14 07:09:32 _genuser_: thanks Sep 14 07:09:37 <_genuser_> arancio: once there, you can be seated, scan a barcode and get checked in on that table. you can then order from your phone and it pops up on the back computer, where they just make it and bring it out. Sep 14 07:10:07 <_genuser_> I wasn't so hot on it, because half the point of all that is to pay your waiters nothing and then let them charm their way into big tips. Sep 14 07:10:12 _genuser_: sounds like it would be hard to make restaurants cooperate Sep 14 07:10:26 <_genuser_> if the people aren't gonna leave bit tips, workers will leave slowly. and you'll nix the app quickly. Sep 14 07:10:39 <_genuser_> he was also trying to allow them to pay thru the app. Sep 14 07:10:54 <_genuser_> so basically people come up, order something get served and have no interaction with any wait staff. Sep 14 07:11:26 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: I told him the "get in waiting line" from the phone was good feature. Sep 14 07:11:37 <_genuser_> ordering up drinks, appetizers ahead of getting there was good. Sep 14 07:11:58 _genuser_: but did he get restaurants to cooperate? Sep 14 07:12:05 <_genuser_> and then he can sell those stats to the restaurants so they can track, how long people wait in line. how many people order what, etc. etc. Sep 14 07:12:12 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: no, he didn't get to launch. Sep 14 07:12:17 I read most of the app about restaurants are a failure Sep 14 07:12:43 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: he wa was idea man. he had a bunch of devs coding all this for him (because he also does contracting and hires out devs). Sep 14 07:12:53 _genuser_: ouch, 5k gone the drain Sep 14 07:12:58 <_genuser_> he was using their free time mostly. Sep 14 07:13:08 <_genuser_> no, had only paid the inital 500 for consulting so far. Sep 14 07:13:17 <_genuser_> but don't worry he spent 30k on teh app itself. Sep 14 07:13:38 lol Sep 14 07:13:52 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: but he did it wrong too. Sep 14 07:14:19 <_genuser_> he found a dev who wanted some partnership. the others devs were just doing it for a little bit of the share, etc. etc. Sep 14 07:14:28 <_genuser_> the main dev was at his house EVERY weekend, working long hours. Sep 14 07:14:48 <_genuser_> after all this when they're about to release it, my friend says he wants to split it like 70/30 or more. like 80/20. Sep 14 07:15:13 <_genuser_> 80 for my friend and 20 for the dev who worked his ass off. spent his weekends away from his new kids and his wife and made this whole thing happen. Sep 14 07:15:18 <_genuser_> "because it was his idea" Sep 14 07:15:26 <_genuser_> the other guy wanted a 50/50 split. Sep 14 07:15:55 _genuser_: sounds like it was headed for failure from the beginning. I mean, why would big name restaurants go through the trouble of setting up this infrastructure for his app when they're probably doing well already? Sep 14 07:16:16 <_genuser_> so my friend dropped the whole idea, tried to phase the other guy out, most the app to some other company something. Sep 14 07:16:29 <_genuser_> and said if they launch the other guy can come back as a contractor. Sep 14 07:16:42 <_genuser_> I thought he really used the other guy. didn't like that whole bit about him. Sep 14 07:17:38 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: I kinda think he could have make it work. stuff like get in waiting line. so your name is on the wait list. You arrive around the time and they announce your name, just go in. Sep 14 07:17:53 <_genuser_> that would make your restaurant more appealing than the others where you have to show up and wait for 1hour in the lobby. Sep 14 07:18:11 <_genuser_> if you can get an idea online about how long the wait it, etc. etc. that's useful. Sep 14 07:18:49 <_genuser_> other than that, I think checking in at a table would be nice, so on busy nights you can just place orders from there. but maybe for just drinks or appetizers. Sep 14 07:19:01 <_genuser_> main course and payments should all be done via servers, othewise, they'll lose out on tips and leave. Sep 14 07:19:40 I suspect you would initially have to pay restaurants to use it Sep 14 07:20:18 _genuser_: wouldn't there be legal thingies to be done in order for this to happen? I mean, it sounds like it would be cost inefficient to me. Sep 14 07:21:30 <_genuser_> Leeds: probably. Sep 14 07:21:35 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: not sure. Sep 14 07:21:53 <_genuser_> he offered me to go in with him on the idea, but I didn't like it enough from the beginning. Sep 14 07:22:01 <_genuser_> the only part I really do like it getting on the wait list. Sep 14 07:22:12 <_genuser_> I have arrived at restaurants and spent 1hr+ waiting for a table. Sep 14 07:22:15 _genuser_: http://www.waitergator.com/restaurants.html Sep 14 07:22:26 "List of participating locations coming soon..." Sep 14 07:22:35 <_genuser_> it never took off. Sep 14 07:22:37 Yeah right :D Sep 14 07:22:42 <_genuser_> I don't see where that list will be coming soon. Sep 14 07:22:55 <_genuser_> all those models on the screen, people from his church. Sep 14 07:23:05 <_genuser_> they paid all the photographers, etc. to do all that work. Sep 14 07:23:20 _genuser_: but it's hella pixelated Sep 14 07:23:34 _genuser_: and I'm using a 1366x768 monitor Sep 14 07:23:43 <_genuser_> because those people aren't professional photographers, lol. Sep 14 07:23:48 <_genuser_> his church friends who do photography. Sep 14 07:24:03 <_genuser_> not even his church. He only goes to that church's bootcamp (morning workouts) Sep 14 07:24:04 _genuser_: should've asked Jesus for some help *rimshot* Sep 14 07:24:13 <_genuser_> he's not the religious type. Sep 14 07:24:20 <_genuser_> just goes for the workout and then just friendship. Sep 14 07:24:38 <_genuser_> he spent 30k almost. Sep 14 07:24:48 goes to church for the workout? odd... Sep 14 07:24:55 <_genuser_> built a server room in house ... behind a restroom. Sep 14 07:25:11 <_genuser_> Leeds: no, the church has a "bootcamp", 5am workout meetup. He goes to that. Sep 14 07:25:25 Yeah, I remember my religious days when I would workout with my priest on Sundays :P Sep 14 07:25:43 Man could run like a bastard in that black robe! Sep 14 07:25:45 VerbalKint: I thought you promised him you'd never talk about that Sep 14 07:25:54 <_genuser_> so right behind a restroom he builds a server room, lays cables thru the walls, the floors, builds them like servers rooms so you can lift floor panels for cable access Sep 14 07:26:09 Leeds: lol Sep 14 07:26:11 <_genuser_> he buys 10k worth of server class machines, buys UPS Sep 14 07:26:16 Leeds: touche :P Sep 14 07:26:21 <_genuser_> and then tells the other guys, that he did all those for the "app business" Sep 14 07:26:24 NO TOUCHEING! Sep 14 07:26:29 <_genuser_> and tries to get him to foot half of the bill. Sep 14 07:26:49 <_genuser_> he told me the other guy put in 10k. After their fight he says the other guys did just 3k. Sep 14 07:26:51 Leeds: don't worry; Orthodox priests are allowed to marry so ours aren't paedophiles :P Sep 14 07:27:25 it's good that you believe that Sep 14 07:27:51 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: after that, he tells me, If you have any ideas, let me know, I'd love to help. Sep 14 07:28:28 _genuser_: 10k worth of server class machines? Wtf Sep 14 07:29:04 _genuser_: no-one told him to stop? Sep 14 07:29:14 _genuser_: were you his friend? Why didn't you stop him?! :P Sep 14 07:29:18 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: he's a tech junkie. he clearly spent the money for his personal enjoyment and then tried to get the dev to pay for it. Sep 14 07:29:43 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: all this happened when I told I wasn't interested. And occassionally I'd ask how the business was going. Sep 14 07:29:57 _genuser_: there's being a tech junkie and there's buying 10k servers when you could've managed with cheap VPS/hosting Sep 14 07:30:17 <_genuser_> oh oh there's that too. Sep 14 07:30:22 Waitergator: the logo should have been an alligator eating a waiter Sep 14 07:30:25 <_genuser_> he rents a colo somewhere too. Sep 14 07:30:37 <_genuser_> where his servers are hosted. Sep 14 07:30:43 <_genuser_> this is just his personal home network. Sep 14 07:30:51 _genuser_: but the site goddamn sucks. I'm sorry to say this, but it sucks. Sep 14 07:31:09 <_genuser_> it's mostly so teh restroom showers can steam some server class machiens because the darn server room is behind the shower room. Sep 14 07:31:10 _genuser_: it's crazy to me that he could spend so much money so wrong Sep 14 07:31:34 _genuser_: but really, you're gossiping like mad right now :P Sep 14 07:31:39 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: don't have to be sorry. I dislike the long neverending scrolling sites. Sep 14 07:32:06 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: yeah, I guess I'm bored. and before begining today's task (fixing .NET based back-end for my app), I'm indulging a little. Sep 14 07:32:40 <_genuser_> part of the gossiping is also just talking about how I think he wrong a dev. Sep 14 07:33:00 <_genuser_> so when an "idea man" approaches you so you can code everything for him, gotta be careful. Sep 14 07:35:27 _genuser_: would never have believed that his idea would work Sep 14 07:36:12 <_genuser_> that's why I didn't spend my nights coding up the front end for him. lol Sep 14 07:40:53 I'm getting this exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid LIMIT clauses:LIMIT 1 Sep 14 07:40:54 Well, it's his... oh wait WAS his dime :D Sep 14 07:41:09 why is "LIMIT 1" an invalid LIMIT clause? Sep 14 07:41:26 arancio: what's your query? Sep 14 07:41:47 Cursor mCursor = database.query( Sep 14 07:41:48 true, Sep 14 07:41:48 BodyPartSelectionContract.BodyPartSelection.TABLE_NAME, Sep 14 07:41:48 allColumns, Sep 14 07:41:48 null, null, null, null, Sep 14 07:41:48 "ORDERBY " + BodyPartSelectionContract.BodyPartSelection.COLUMN_TIMESTAMP, Sep 14 07:41:50 "LIMIT 1" Sep 14 07:41:52 ); Sep 14 07:41:58 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: changing subjects for a minute. One of the defualt android projects creates an activity with "notitlebar" them. And then manually creates the AppBar, etc. etc. Have you seen that before? Sep 14 07:42:33 _genuser_: it's a bug? No Sep 14 07:42:55 <_genuser_> anybody else got any ideas? On why AS creates a project with an activity with NoTitleBar theme style, and then manually creates the AppBar, etc. etc. Sep 14 07:42:59 arancio: think it's ORDER BY Sep 14 07:43:30 <_genuser_> VerbalKint: hmm, it's the intended setup. It's the template that creates a Nav Drawer. Sep 14 07:43:56 <_genuser_> it tries to create the Drawer first and then AppBarLayout -> Toolbar -> TabLayout Sep 14 07:44:04 VerbalKint: Ok. I fixed ORDER BY but the exception above is thrown anyway Sep 14 07:44:15 <_genuser_> I'm thinking it's just to have the NavDrawer be on top of everything. Sep 14 07:45:08 _genuser_: I have my application's theme be based on this
