Easily the best website I've seen since 2024.

Poor people have it.

Rich people need it.

If you eat it, you die.

What is it?

 

I saw a comment yesterday about how IT admins have to restrict the privileges of other developers on their machines and was surprised by knowing this. I simply thought that employees in the software industry were essentially at equal parity in terms of their departments, and that the admin department was there just to centralise all the work done by other departments and keep track of the status of their systems. I did not think there would be a need to apply childlocks on other employees' systems as I assumed that a person working at an industry like this would have basic computer literacy to know what is safe and permissible by company policy to execute and what is not.

This may come off as being too naive of me, but I genuinely want to understand how the hierarchy in such a company is actually like. I always thought of workspaces in the software industry to divide labour laterally and there would be no need for administrative powers apart from the management to exist, at least in regard to regulating other workers' actions beyond normal workspace policies. It would be extremely kind of anyone to shed light on this matter.

I don't really read literature often, but out of the few I did read, 'A Man called Ove' was one I really enjoyed. The one book I enjoyed even more than this was 'Wonder' by R. J. Palacio. It has an interesting style of storytelling and I could argue it to be even more touching, which is why it is my all-time favourite.

It was surprising yet joyous to see someone having read the exact same book as I in this space. I couldn't imagine giving anyone book suggestions anytime soon considering how little books I have read myself, but finally having the opportunity to do so has really lifted my mood today. Thank you kind stranger for making my day.

I love the assassin recruits mechanic. I just wish they would let me use more than 6 recruits at once and have them follow me like escorts, but I understand this was a necessary nerf.

I really appreciate how the hidden blade is kept as an OG weapon even late game for all of the entries I have played so far (till Rouge). The way it one shots the enemy if you time it perfectly makes you feel like a master for doing so. The kill streak combo goes so well with this that you don't even realise you just annihilated an entire army of brutes just like that.

 
 

What does the launcher do with regard to the operation of the game that cannot be done within the actual game itself? Is it due to a technical limitation or simply there for the convenience of the players? Are there alternatives to such methods of starting the execution of games?

Just think of it as 'Game Over'. This is just to ensure the responses stay within the scope of the question.

 

Imagine you wake up in the body of a famous and influential person in the bedroom where that person sleeps in. You know nothing about that individual prior to this incident apart from the fact that they are considered a high profile person.

Your only chance of survival here is to act like that person in front of their family, friends and the public for the rest of the unforeseeable future. How do you ensure you learn to imitate the personality of the individual by arousing the least amount of suspicion?

Weird. This character either has an astonishingly large afro to cover the entire background or has two incredibly tiny horns for a forehead.

 

I haven't read any scientific journal or publication not because of the sheer volume or complexity of the content within but rather the extremely formal and scientific language of the content that makes them feel soulless and more like a punishment to the person reading them. I would really like it if someone could recommend a paper, preferably in the field in science and pertaining to an easy topic, where the author has some sense of humour and is able to retain my attention span all the way till the end.

May I dare ask who you would be delivering this to?

This link to the wiki is incredibly helpful for me in order to gain context about the comic series. Thank you kind stranger!

 

I don't know what to write in both of these pages before I publish my project. I would greatly appreciate if someone would help me in this regard as I know nothing about the legal side of hosting open source apps nor do I want to spend too much time on this.

For context, my project is a web app that I specifically made sure to be as private as possible. All data generated by the user is made to be completely stored locally in the browser with no trackers or analytics installed. The data can be modified and deleted as per the user's will along with the ability to import and export the data as JSON files. A local account is required to save progress else the data will be wiped on exiting the site and the core functionalities of the site do not depend on whether an account has been created or not. The only privacy risk would be occasional loading of external resources like image links which I couldn't find a viable alternative to.

Frankly this is just a small side FOSS project which I do not intend to capitalise on. I still want to mention the TOS and the Privacy Policy just in case, but I couldn't be bothered to write all this legal matter by hand.

 

I am working on a small web app that stores user data locally using indexedDB which can be imported/exported by making use of JSON files. Since I plan on adding updates to the site, I want to know what best practices I should follow to make sure my app can allow importing of user data from older versions. It could be related to how I should define the properties of my user data object to make it future proof, or any library or tool I could implement that would make this migration process easier.

Do keep these points in mind:

  1. I am using NextJS to build this application and Dexie to manage indexedDB
  2. Without going into details, the user data file makes use of heavily nested objects and arrays and most likely won't fit in a cookie or even in the local storage API
  3. This web app acts as a proof of concept which must only make use of the aforementioned core technologies, regardless of whether more efficient alternatives exist or not.
 

I want to introduce some of my friends to Minecraft. They have never heard of it before and I am having trouble explaining them from the beginning since the scope of the game is very vast.

I want to give them a preview of the game before they start playing themselves, so I would prefer a video explaining the same. I tried to search for it on YouTube but I could personally find no video that could explain the premise and potential of the game from scratch. I tried to explain them via playing the game on my device too but that was of no meaningful help either since I have no personal worlds or builds to show.

Could someone please help me recommend some useful resource for this matter? I am sure they will come to love it once they get to properly understand it.

 

I recently learned about LocalSend and was intrigued by how it functioned by only using the WiFi network of the devices. I did not know my LAN had these capabilities.

Now that I've learned about it, I am excited to know if there is anything else I can do with it. Perhaps there could be a way to send prank notifications to all the connected devices, create a private chat room, or have custom LAN parties.

I genuinely do not know anything about how WiFi or LAN in general works in this matter. Is it possible for me to build my own applications that make use of these features? If so, I would love to get a direction on what resources or guides I should be looking for. If not, I would still be happy to use similar pre-built applications.
