No support repository in SDK

TiaLeave a comment

Tried to add constraint layout to my build file for Android. All roads pointed to adding the support repository, however, there was no support repo. Added, instead, maven to my build, changed to implement, and all was well. 

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com'
    }
}

Tia’s log – 191119 :: PHP, Flutter

Working on today

  • PHP code updates for LMS
  • Flutter chore app!
  • Java selenium/jsoup program
  • Client research for their LMS
  • Nanowrimo!

Notes to self

  • Guess who may learn electron….
  • Bearer is mainly a standard in the authoriziation header in Oauth. Still, a standard to send in a token of some sort. HTPasswd would use "Authorization: Basic"
  • MVC models are facades. Fight me.
  • Netmasks can be used for IP address for mysql. For example, ‘192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0’.

Angsts

  • I hate people copying and pasting and not understanding the code. So, when they have to make a change, they have no clue and it takes them even MORE time to figure out what’s going on than if they had learned it and written it themselves.
  • Not a big fan of these big project management things, even with multiple people. Give me a good marked up spreadsheet any day.
  • Need more RAM. (Coincidentally, I typed this as my computer fell to a blue screen)

Passionates

  • Oh, my goodness, yes. Finally found a note app that I can completely dig: Notable . I like one note, but man is it overkill for what I need to do.
  • I love line debuggers. I always hate going back to CF when using OO (CFCs) or Java and not having them proper 😦 .
  • Finally realized I can recreate what some of these larger programs do, but on the scale that we need. As much as I’ll push a good ole’ framework, many are overkill for small shops like mine.

Olio

  • Rememember SourceForge? I mean, it’s still there, but with Git, these young’ens don’t much. Just remembered I have an OLD php script there, circa 2002. Goodness.
  • One of my favorite Twitch steams https://www.twitch.tv/adam13531
  • I love the TODO extension on Visual Studio Code so_much_. I would love something so simple, but highly efficient, on Google Drive, or anywhere. The color coding, shortcuts, and time stamps make it something absolutely necessary for me. This one: Todo+
  • I still love RSS so much. Decided I’d cut back on Reddit (where I’d stay up with tech a lot) and focus more on feeds. That and the fact that I have a slight Reddit addition. Probably the endless scrolling…. What are some great blogs you follow?
