ChatGPT - How Long Till They Realize I’m a Robot?

I tried it first on December 2nd... ...and slowly the meaning of it started to sink in. It's January 1st and as the new year begins, my future has never felt so hazy. It helps me write code. At my new company I'm writing golang, which is new for me, and one day on a whim I think "hmmm maybe ChatGPT will give me some ideas about the library I need to use." Lo-and-behold it knew the library. It wrote example code. It explained each section in just enough detail. I'm excited....It assists my users. I got a question about Dockerfiles in my teams oncall channel. "Hmmm I don't know the answer to this either"....ChatGPT did. It knew the commands to run. It knew details of how it worked. It explained it better and faster than I could have. Now I'm nervous....It writes my code for me. Now I'm hearing how great Github Copilot is - and it's built by OpenAI too...ok I guess I should give it a shot. I install it, and within minutes it'...

android tips/notes

APK = Java (src,gen) + Resources (res)

R.java = glue between Java and Resources



make a project command-line compileable :
enter project workspace directory
> android update project --name --path .
> ant install ( will fail if no device to run on)
> ant debug (should succeed, as it only compiles a debug version)


info for android virtual machines located in ~/.android/avd/

adb (add sdk/platform-tools to PATH)

adb shell

adb devices, adb -s

To get nexus one working : edit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and add
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18D1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev".

then unhook phone, and restart everything, then allow debugging on phone, and hook it in
and then start eclipse .... that seemed to do the trick

18D1 is the vendor code, i believe for google - don't use the htc one.                             


Services : code that runs in the background (no UI)
Content Providers : share content with applications across application boundaries, e.g. contacts


LOGCAT
from project folder :
> adb logcat StatusActivity:* *:s

apparently, android sdk 11 and higher doesn't allow potentially long-running things to happen in the foreground thread because it could lead to the dreaded "application not responding...or w/e" error.  From that I'll get a StrictMode exception - use a lower target version of android OR put the faulty code in an async task in the background.... reference : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6976317/android-http-connection-exception

My experience with Udacity

-
Last week I finished a free online course from Udacity.com (google it if you're unfamiliar - it's frickin' bomb!)  So I thought I'd write a post about my experience. SO good.  I learned python, google app engine and how to create my own website....though this time I'll retain it a little longer.  The lectures are given in video format, and they are so well edited that if you really like software, you won't even realize you're taking a course - it'll feel like entertainment!  Until you get to the assignments of course - that's where the real learning comes.  They start off riDICulously easy, at least for anyone who's written code before, and they slowly get a bit harder, though the only issues with completing them you'll have are with debugging weird nuances of GAE....you don't even need to know python to start, because everything you need is usually the first link in a google search result page. The best part is that it's all FREE...

Architectural Characteristics - Transcending Requirements

Building a system means meeting a set of requirements dictated by the customer.  But the customer isn't always going to translate what they want into engineering terms.  Even if you say please, they might not even know how.  If they ask for an online ordering system, they probably won't specify that it needs to be available 24/7 and auditable for tax purposes.  Yet these aspects could mean the difference between project success and failure.  Those unsaid aspects are called anything from 'nonfunctional requirements' to 'Architectural Characteristics'. In their book 'Fundamentals of Software Architecture', Ford and Richards define Architectural Characteristics to have 3 criteria: Specifies a nondomain design consideration Let's dive into these bullets to better understand them. Aspects of Architectural Characteristics Specifies a nondomain design consideration If you're building an ordering system, then order numbers, customers, items and prices ar...
