This is why we have commas.

I tried to rephrase his question in my head, and I ended up with “Why do not teeth degenerate.”

I need sleep.

Someone you know that has the product.. Or ProjectFarm on YouTube.

Out of curiosity, would they be subject to these laws/protocols/regulations if they are (developers or organization) based in the US, but offer releases hosted elsewhere in the world AND/OR develop the product with code hosted elsewhere in the world?

It is informative, but how often does the average person read this kind of information? Especially when they are set on doing something simple, such as turning off Bluetooth. What if you never use the settings menu, and only turn it off from the notification drawer? They never see that information. Not to mention that it’s such a small option (even though it’s a big paragraph) that they make it seem like they don’t want the user to disable it completely.

What they should do, is when the user disables Bluetooth the first time (anywhere on the phone), a pop up is at least shown to instruct the user that it is still scanning in the background. That way the user is informed. OR, hear me out, have background scanning disabled by default and prompt the user to enable it the first time they disable Bluetooth.

Same boat. I’m currently a software engineer. Colleagues have joked in the past that I’ll make my way as a manager or something, but the reality is that I’m more than fine remaining in this position the rest of my career. I’m fortunate enough that I’m fine with the money I make. I’m fine with my responsibilities, including the flexibility I have with my time. Not to mention that I enjoy doing actual development type work.

It would have to be a significant amount of money for me to even think about accepting any management roles.

I would entertain a lead type role (lead software engineer or principal software engineer, etc), but management personally is off the table.

It really depends on a handful of things. For context, I’m in northern Ontario.

I’m an introvert, and I spend most of my time alone. I thrive by myself, so being alone (for a while) won’t be an issue. However, I would bet over time I might lose my mind with zero presence of people.

Farming is possible, but the area isn’t great. Most of my food would be from hunting and fishing, which I have experience with already.

I’m also surrounded by lots of fresh water, so that is not a concern. My house is heated by a mix of propane and wood, so heating in the winter is not an issue.

Winter's will be tough, because roads won't be plowed. Eventually fuel will go bad and I won't have any running vehicle, including snowmobiles. So I would likely be walking with snow shoes, or staying inside. This would then require me to stock up all my food, which is its own issue.

Electrical grid would likely go down. If I want to preserve my food using freezers before the winter, I will need electricity, which would require me.installing some sort of solar system. I'm not knowledgeable on the subject, which would require me to go physically searching for books or written documentation.

Electricity is paramount for any future long distance travel, as combustion engines would not be operable, and electric vehicles would replace them.

Moving south to a warmer climate where hunting/fishing is still possible, and surrounded by fresh water would probably be best.

Long story short, loneliness would likely kill me before anything else does.

8 ball pool. The popups/ads suck, but you can play time attack mode on single player offline. Also a good time killer while online.

I was heavy into skateboarding as a kid, and I was interested in making some skateboarding media website with images and videos. I had initially began with wix, because I had no idea programming was a thing (I barely used technology, or even a phone). I messed around with it for a while, and then learned that I could make websites with just a simple html file… And the rest was history. Ended up getting into PHP, then game development with Java, etc.

Staying on the SQL theme... The company I work for has a fairly old (~20 years) system. There's a feature for users and site admins to export massive amounts of data, with the option to export data from when the system was first released. Purely CSV or XML data formats. On large datasets, the time for export would vary from 10-20+ hours, and would frequently timeout, forcing you to split exports into multiple timeframes and manually merging them into a single file. The solution? Indexes! Indexes were non-existent. After adding them, export times have dropped to ~10-15 minutes, which is a rather insane performance increase, especially since a single export is accepted per account at a time.

Yeah, same here. I spend all day at a computer, last thing I want to do is spend more time at a computer. I've also spent more time working on my own vehicle's, and just generally being outside more often.

One thing that I do enjoy from time to time is graphics/game programming. Nothing really ever results from any of my projects, but it is something I enjoy, as i don't do graphics programming at my job... It's usually systems/web development, so the difference in the type of projects I choose to do as hobby programming has helped for me.

I would rather not get anything than get a rock for recognizing my efforts.
