Anyone know if it fairs better on Android TV these days?

Hot damn. Imagine getting executed by high pressure chamber, kind of gnarly

We get encouraged to try out AI tools for various purposes to see where we can find value out of them, if any. There are some use-cases where the tech makes sense when wielded correctly, and in those cases I make use of it. In other cases, I don’t.

So far, I suspect we may be striking a decent balance. I have however noticed a concern trend of people copy-pasting unfiltered slop as a response to various scenarios, which is obviously not helpful.

Dishwashers are superior to handwashing in basically every regard, and as such I lean towards it for everything in my kitchen that can handle it.

Slay the Spire and Balatro is kind of the sweet spot for mobile gaming imo

Indeed, wild statement if I ever heard one

But existing is basically all I do!

It’s mostly a skill issue for services that go down when USE-1 has issues in AWS - if you actually know your shit, then you don’t get these kinds of issues.

Case in point: Netflix runs on AWS and experienced no issues during this thing.

And yes, it’s scary that so many high-profile companies are this bad at the thing they spend all day doing

You prepare for these by doing specific exercises for them, sad as it may seem.

Leetcoding problems? You grind them out for a month or two to prepare for doing them during interview loops.

Mock interviews can help too, to get you better at handling the stress. You can use services/groups for these, or just go interview for random places you’re not necessarily planning to actually say yes to.

Still on the Slay the Spire-train. A downright excellent game.

Also playing some Hades 2

Well, you might be inclined to not roll the feature out at all, depending on the results you see from the rollout/an A/B-test. Also, having it written out with a date in the changelog binds you to that date, unless you want the embarrassment of not shipping on a promised time. Maintaining a changelog for very large app development organizations is also a pretty damn hard task, trying to coordinate whatever all teams are releasing in a particular build.

I agree that getting cute with the changelog messages is a bit stale. Might as well not add anything at that point.

Modern mobile app development almost always releases features gradually behind feature flags, so changelogging things is not necessarily practical to do.

That’s right. The art of correctly handling savedInstanceState is unfortunately not exactly well understood

Your phone is trying to keep your battery alive. The lower the specs of the phone, then the more aggressive the OS is.

No, apps closing between switches is not a matter of battery, it’s a core feature of Android related to the management of RAM. Whenever the OS needs more available RAM, the OS will close a backgrounded app to make those resources available. This is why it happens more frequently on low-end devices - these generally ship with less RAM.

Some misguided vendors will limit background execution in incorrect ways in the name of saving battery, but the general thing with apps living in background is a story of RAM.

Interestingly enough, apps are supposed to be built to cope with being closed down due to lack of RAM and then be restored seamlessly, but this is an art that is uncommonly done correctly in the Android development space. The OS support is there, though.

I recently picked up a GMKtec NUC for around $100 off of AliExpress. It uses very little power and is very powerful for the price.

It doesn’t have a speaker and the opportunities for upgrades are a bit limited, but otherwise I think it might be suitable for you.

I run it as a media server at home without any issues at all
