Detection of the Problem

Recently, ESRI’s desktop application, ArcMap, has often started to be slow when many users edit with different computers at the same time. Writing data to the ORACLE database, where we keep spatial data with ArcMap, became quite difficult and annoying. Although we made the necessary follow-ups and investigations on the subject and took some precautions, after a while, the slowness in question came to light again, and although the solutions we applied to solve the problem worked in the short term, the slowness started again over time.

Don’t Brush It Off as “Just a Kid”!

Last week, when I heard that my daughter, who is only four and a half years old, had a chess lesson at school that day, I asked her: “Tell me, sweetheart, what pieces are there in chess?” To be honest, I was expecting an answer such as pawn, knight, king and so on, but my daughter turned to me and, quite calmly and confidently, said: “Of course, there are black pieces and there are white pieces, Dad.” Her answer brought a smile to my face and a great sense of wonder to my mind. And at that moment I saw once again how we, as adults, miss the fundamental truths and look at things in such a complicated way.

In the summer of 2010, while I was doing my internship at the cadastre directorate, one day a technician colleague and I had to go out to the field for a stake-out. So we took the total station and the necessary data and headed out to the field. In the field I set up the instrument, levelled it, entered the coordinates of the station and backsight points and zeroed it on the backsight. Just as I was planning to store the points to be staked out in the instrument’s memory and start the work, our technician colleague took his Casio 880 personal computer out of a wide case hanging on his belt (I won’t call it a calculator, because it says Personal Computer on the device; otherwise, since it is a programmable device with an alphanumeric keyboard, I wouldn’t want to insult it) and launched the angle and distance calculation program he had loaded onto it earlier and evidently used quite often. As I watched in amazement, he asked me for the coordinates of the station and backsight points, and then for the coordinates of the first point to be staked out. After entering the coordinates into the machine one by one, he calculated the horizontal angle and distance values for the first point and told me the results. Using these values, we completed the stake-out of all the points and packed up the instrument.

Last year I participated in a group nature walk. As we climbed a high hill, everyone in the group started to say the values ​​they obtained from different sources regarding the altitude of the highest point of the hill we will climb. Consequently, the values ​​obtained from different sources did not coincide with each other. The last topic turned around and came to me. The expectation of the group is that I would say that one of the sources belonging to these values ​​is the best; I cannot say that none of them are the most correct or the most wrong, frankly, these sources offer values ​​based on the models they have made, that the accuracy may vary between the sources, in this context, precise measurement should be made for the most accurate result, otherwise, if there is no variation between them, even the part of unemployed could remain within the scope of hiking we have done alone, plus / minus, I stated that the acceptable level of variability in 5-meter. And so we continued the walk where we left off.

GALAXY WATCH Disconnection Solution

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch in the past few weeks and I installed Galaxy Wearable, Galaxy Watch PlugIn and Samsung Accessory Service applications by pairing it with the Huawei P30 Lite phone I am using via bluetooth. But after a while, the frequent disconnection between the watch and the phone started to bother me a lot and I researched this issue on the internet. Unfortunately, none of the solution methods I came across provided any benefit. While I was reviewing the battery usage details of related apps on the phone recently, something caught my attention. Under the application launch header, the option “Auto launch (Unnecessary startups are restricted for power saving)” was active. I did not experience a disconnection problem when I used this option for a long time after turning it off. If you are having the same problem; Go to the “Settings / Applications / Applications / Related Application / Battery usage details” page of your phone and disable the “Auto start (Unnecessary startups are restricted for power saving)” option. It will also be useful to set the “Avoid other applications” and “Change system settings” preferences as “Yes” under the ADVANCED tab on the Application information page.

Screen shots of the settings made are given below.
