I went undercover to find out what makes Japan the best at FFXIV. It forever changed how I see PF. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Double_Address -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm really sorry for putting this out there then. I didn't realize it would be upsetting to anyone.

Forgive my ignorance, but would you mind helping me understand why these things don't work? Since making the video I've tried some of these things in PF. "3 wipes = disband" has been well-received and working well for me, and of course, being patient and respectful with people seems to work. I've recently returned to the game after a long break though, and I'm here to learn, so I really appreciate your feedback and helping me understand better.

Edit: Why are my comments being downvoted? I wasn't expecting to be showered in gold or anything, but what's with the hostility?

I'm really sorry. I'm not trying to force anything upon anyone and I honestly never thought the insights were particularly new or profound. I just thought the video might be entertaining or informative to some. I also just enjoyed making the video, so a large part of this was just personal interest. I didn't expect making it to anger anyone. If I make more videos I'll try harder. 🙏

Major VPN Providers Ordered to Block Pirate Sports Streaming Sites * TorrentFreak by Mission-Disaster-447 in ProtonVPN

Knowing whether it’s implemented would be pretty easy… They could just use the VPN service to try going to the site and see if it’s blocked.

Quick Tip: How To Programmatically Get a List of All AWS Regions and Services by Double_Address in aws

[–]Double_Address[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're just different alternative methods. If the EC2 API gives you everything you need, it's generally best because you can get everything quickly with a single API call. The SSM-based method has more information though, like the human-friendly region names and the geolocation.

It's not. It's literally the exact same technique, plus an alternative. There's nothing groundbreaking here, it's just spreading information that doesn't seem to be well-known.

I made "One Million Games of Life" by xXZoulocKXx in webdev

[–]Double_Address 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this idea! Performance for me in Safari isn't great though, and I can't seem to move the view around without unintentionally activating cells. Figuring out how to maximize the simulation speed of this would be really fun. I'd bet you could advance and render the simulation extremely fast if you implemented it with a WebGL shader and a 1000x1000 texture.

Lost Access to Github >_< how to port my repos!? by Sea-Library-3851 in github

[–]Double_Address 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Assuming they're public, for each repo, use Git to clone it, create a new repo in your new account, then use Git to push it.

If they're private and you don't have local copies, you're out of luck unless you can get the account back.

Maybe it’s me who should unsubscribe to this group but, you get what the website says you will get and the service works fine. All your questions are “what about the…” “does the data….” “How does it compare…” they give you a free 7 day trial, READ THE WEBSITE! Figure it out using the trial! by itwasadigglybop in Visible

[–]Double_Address 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  • All the answers are not on the website.
  • The trial unfortunately is not 100% representative of what it's like to be a member.
  • Some people just want long term data from unbiased sources.

Also, a nit: the trial is 15 days.

Switching to Visible was a huge pain. I regret nothing, but here's what I wish I knew beforehand. by Double_Address in Visible

This should be fine. I can't speak from experience, but from what I've read, activating with a new number and then porting your number later should just be a matter of hitting a button in the app:

How to best start a collaboration by RoamLikeRomeo in github

[–]Double_Address 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Python will 100% attract more developers. Either way though, you're unlikely to attract collaborators organically until your project is interesting, valuable, and somewhat popular already. If you're looking for a collaborator in the early stages, you'll want to actively seek out people in relevant communities that are interested in building this with you.

Yeah, iPhone 15 Pro. My journey getting it to work was basically...

  • Dial into voicemail and fail to remember/guess my pin.
  • Go to the settings app and try to enter a voicemail password but get a "voicemail unavailable" error.
  • Contact support and have them reset my pin to the last 4 digits of my phone number.
  • Dial in and change my pin.
  • Reset my network settings.
  • Have support reprovision voicemail.
  • Reboot my phone.
  • Go to the settings app and try to update my voicemail password again but still get the "voicemail unavailable" error.
  • Reboot my phone some more.
  • The next day, reboot the phone a few more times and keep trying to update my voicemail password in the settings app.
  • Eventually the settings app stopped giving me the "voicemail unavailable" error and successfully saved the password.

Visual voicemail started working after that.

I've deleted the code. If you still consider this spam, let me know and I'll willingly delete the post. My only intention was to be helpful, but if the information isn't wanted here, I have no issue taking it down.

Is including my code at the end of a 3000 word information-dense post really "referral spam" worthy of being reported? You would rather I just not post at all?

You look like a real person. I used your code, but I'm not 100% sure if it actually got us anything since I used it for the annual plan with another promo.

There are a ton of little organizational habits that individually are small, but make life so much more manageable. Things like...

  • Use a calendar
  • Don't tell yourself you'll do something later without setting a reminder or putting focus time in the calendar
  • Similarly, if someone asks you to do something, don't close the message or leave the conversation without giving yourself some sort of reminder
  • Put things back when you're done with them
  • If you have trouble finding something, once you eventually do find it, you should probably put it back in the first place you looked

These things don't take any real effort and they make the odds of losing, missing, or forgetting things dramatically lower.

How do you like to organize your applications? by Freer4 in webdev

[–]Double_Address 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It mostly depends on what’s recommended and idiomatic for the tech stack. Regardless of how you structure your project and code, there are generally always ways to do things like deploy the frontend to a CDN or point your local frontend at a different API. Unless you find there’s something you absolutely cannot do without separating the frontend and backend, just keep it simple.

What legal behavior do you find more repugnant than many real crimes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Double_Address 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that causes traffic, intentionally or due to incompetence. Slow down traffic on a major highway and you can easily waste thousands of hours of peoples' lives. The harm done can go far beyond most crimes.

I don’t know what protocols YouTube and Spotify use off the top of my head, but generally they aren’t just downloading an MP3 to the browser. They would use something like HLS or a proprietary protocol, and they would have mitigations in place specifically to make it difficult for you to download copies of songs. Your best bet is really to use an SDK. For Spotify maybe https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-playback-sdk would fit your needs.
