ADP Retirement Services first generation of PES (Plan Entry System) program. It was/is an internal tool with all the horror stories that you hear about internal tools. The people who made it wrote obscure logic with encrypted variable naming with the main purpose of having job security, it's a core tool in their business model but treated like gutter trash, built with visual basic and embedded angular code to make it look more modern, the supposed rewrite talk went on for 8 years, and to put icing on the top it was QAd/maintained by underqualified offshore old-school contractors (you cant even call this group devs/engineers).

> Error HandlingAn MPA renders a 500 page upon error and that's it. However, an SPA needs to detect errors in the client code and then update the user interface accordingly. Again, busywork required to regain what MPAs offer out of the box.

I'm no gilded dev, but 5 years back when PHP wasn't avoided like the black plague we would still need to update user interface handling these internal server errors. It's judt good design practice.

I more or less agreed/understood with the writer up to that point. Everything else past this just sounded like a argument for argument's sake.

I just hope they don't shit on the android support like Snapchat. It's the first ever paid app i got and i'd like to think that's saying something for an android user. Probably far fetch but it would be nice the android version became open source if that should ever get dropped by apple (so community can maintain it)

You should probably just stop. Reading over your discussions as an outside spectator shows zapita to simply respond for argument sake. Don't feed trolls.

You're giving these recruiters too much credit on their intelligence. They're vuage because they're ignorant and need to reach a certain word count to their pitch, and the same way they need to get a certain number of submissions. In short they're like monkeys incentivized is to give the minimum amount of vuage info in the shortest amount of time until the candidate agrees to continue with submission.

To be fair the android rooting community is usually transperent. It's perspective of "scary" shouldnt be compared to jail breaking an iphone to get free apps. Also, most tutorial for rooting or just flashing firmware it's alwqys adviced to backup data, so fear of loss should be manegable.... one more thing, if you've reached the point of needing to root/change device software, do you really believe the company cares about your warrenty. I've known people with apple care go get their 5 year old mac books for battery replacement, to then get their time wasted with a lazy response of "sorry we don't covery water damage". When for a fact that device never experienced it.

I tell my relatives repeatedly to not take pictures of me if they're going to share them on those platforms. This whole thing is a problem with people's complatiency with technology and especially the coorporations taking advantage of it.

You should be set with openCV or JavaCV. JavaCV has more ported image/video progressing libraries than openCV and are a bit more customizable in my experience. And literally JavaCV has openCV natively but a different wrapper. I would only suggest openCV if you are working with python. It provides enough tools for basic then mid complex objects and if you want to mature in it then open up the hood. As for porting that pet porject to a mobile android device i would suggest to go straight with javaCV even though openCV has wrappers for android and java. The reason is because at some point you'll want to ditch their riggid methods of obtaining video/pictures. JavaCV has served me well when integrating with android. Also, if you eventually want to scale up the processing into a web service then it' easier.
