ratbert90 posted:Building Android every day. This really is a major problem with getting help on the Internet anyway. There's a shitload of shallow knowledge out there, often replicated (sometimes poorly) from some original source. If you want to go any further than building cyanogenmod for your phone and installing it, you're stuck. Want to know how Android interacts with the radio? Tough poo poo, better start digging through the source code, because xXx420bonerzxXx on the forums knows gently caress-all beyond how to run a rooting util. And if you ask about something, every dumb gently caress will do a google search for what you asked and post the first result without even loving considering if there's any relevance. Gotta get those StackOverflow points!

PerrineClostermann posted:It's a similar situation for a lot of hardware devices. There are tons of guides on hacking and installing CFW and pirating things on the PSP, but if you want to get down to the metal and low-level functions of the PSP and do some neat stuff, you have to put in some serious effort into finding details and specs on the system itself. It's disappointing that such knowledge isn't as common as it should be. You can still find some nice documentation on older systems like the NES and GBC, though. I was doing some work with VESA, PCI, and PS/2 hardware emulation. Turns out there's almost no decent documentation on the Internet, just a bunch of people repeating the same incomplete, incorrect bullshit. I eventually had to buy a book ("The Undocumented PC").

Lum posted:Also told them off for having a "Date of Birth" field with a calendar control that defaults to today's date, on a system that only deals with adults. What should it default to? Having a calendar control for DoB is kind of silly but so having any other default date on that calendar.

enotnert posted:I got a lot of emails last week. . . What the hell, "working from china" for 2 years sounds like the worst thing ever. I'm on the Pacific Coast. It's currently 5 p.m. here and 8 a.m. in Shanghai. It basically guarantees every email will be answered the next day, and you'll only get phone calls by calling outside of someone's normal work hours (guarantee it won't be the boss's work hours, even though she's the one in loving China) Also I'd have reservations about letting the person in charge of your computers and networks work from China. I'm probably extra paranoid because of work, but
