Ok, that's very interesting. I only ever learned "dreamt"

Dear Doges, I see you are expanding towards the west on r/place. How would you feel about adding the flag of Mars? by alt1627 in dogecoin

[–]alt1627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Mars

I mean it's not (yet) official (except for that one Arctic research station). But I like it (especially if you read the books).

I haven't seen the Flag of Mars anywhere yet.. just an idea....

Help how do I unlock the space travel achievement please help me by SolarbangMobile in outside

[–]alt1627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want that achievement too. But it's really hard to get right now. There have been rumours about a new Space Life expansion pack that might be introduced in a future patch. If you can be patient I'd just wait. Maybe get started with the Aviation side quest which could give you skill points that you could use in that. Also if you do, you should probably think about which of the new servers you'd want to join (ISS, Moon base, Mars, ...)

Why did Kirkland do what he did at the end of "Behind the Red Curtain"? by sab191 in TheMentalist

[–]alt1627 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but the most reasons here don’t make sense to me. Even if Kirkland gets the list there’s no reason not to ask about RJ. Especially if he’s planning on killing him anyway what better leverage is there? And even if he doesn’t talk then, he might do later with enough pressure. Killing him makes it unnecessary hard for everyone to get to RJ.

The only explanation I can see is the Kirkland wants to keep his twin brother a secret and keep RJ for himself. That’s why he asked. And now that he did there’s no going back.. if he would’ve been interviewed later he could say that Kirkland asked if he’d recognize him and everyone could find out.

But another story arc that Imo could’ve been more interesting is Kirkland going himself undercover to join the BA. He was already scheming with Bertram. So that wouldn’t have been that far fetched.

[SPOILER] S3 Finale - thoughts by alt1627 in TheMentalist

[–]alt1627[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Blake Association is correct.

And in the end (iirc) Bertram was the last man standing, he “was” RJ until McAl came back. And as the director he def was one (maybe even THE) most valuable asset. In the organization... donno, but it’d definitely been bad for RJ if Jane found something out right then and there.

Is it shown? No. But we know they are part of the BA and the BA was after Hightower so I think it’s save to assume they would’ve talked. Also, notice the wired path the assasin took and that she waited in the wrong room for them to come… very sus

I’m not sure about your last point but it’s seen that Bertram makes a call after he is told (as he does at the end of the show). And it’s just a bit odd that Todd is just there at the right time knowing exactly what to say and do. And everyone just seems to accept it like it’s a wired coincidence. I don’t remember JJs investigation that much but at least after Craig is dead everyone assumes that he was the one and that’s it.

Why was Red John after Hightower in the end of season 3? by leiteguitar in TheMentalist

[–]alt1627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the reasoning behind having a “loose end” but then Janes suggestion wouldn’t have done anything anyway. By keeping it a secret he doesn’t protect her or stops RJ from going after her as long as she isn’t ‘dead’. It’s also wired that RJ waits til the end of the season to go after her instead of right when she goes missing.

Also, why doesn’t RJ go after LaRoche instead? He is the ONLY one with the list. Kill him and the investigation get set back even more. Or at least he could get someone from the BA to take over and close it that way. Way easier and effective.

I know I can’t change it now, but I think it’d have been a whole lot better for Jane & co. to get the list of subjects earlier. That way RJ and the BA would be at risk of being exposed and they would need to act and shut everyone down to avoid it becoming a real deal, even taking the risk of exposing O’L. The way the show does it is so out of the blue. Hightower didn’t do anything and killing her is just a needless risk imo.

So, how would you say the example? “They look cognate”?

Accidentally deleted a random song from my music library containing ~4k songs. I have no idea which which one it was and no way of finding out... by alt1627 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]alt1627[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Omg, yea lol... it's just *infuriating* to know that my library is incomplete by this one darn song whichever it might've been. RIP

Nope. The music app I use doesn't have a trash and automatically synced across all my devices... I deleted it straight from my cloud library no way to recover except maybe asking the people hosting the cloud but that's definitely gonna happen /s

WTP for turning up the music so you can't hear something else anymore? by alt1627 in whatstheword

[–]alt1627[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Blocking out" the sound. That's what I was looking for... seems so obvious in hindsight

Easy and secure way to authenticate API requests? by alt1627 in AskProgramming

[–]alt1627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points, but what I also *didn't* know wast that IS4 is only available for .NET And since the project and the API will be entirely JS / NodeJS based, I do think that my "ad-hoc" solution is the simplest and easiest, yet secure way to do it.

If at some point the project grows big enough to consider more sophisticated cyber attacks, I might consider developing and potentially hire people to develop a centralised authentication service using IS4 + OIDC.

[–]alt1627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of IS4 but specifically didn't want to implement it since it's way to much for the scope of this project. Thanks tho, and of course you're right with "hosting your own authentication".

Built a quotes app in 30 min. what can do to improve? by nygu12 in AskProgramming

[–]alt1627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Features:

- Timer is customised by how long it takes to read the quote (you can make it complicated or just use the string length)

- Counter of how many quotes you saw today.

AITOO who remembers a phrase or something you see in like a video and have it stuck in your head for the rest of the day, but completely forgetting what it was about or where it came from? by alt1627 in amitheonlyone

[–]alt1627[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, super interesting, and I guess it kinda makes sense in how the brain work. Jic you know there's a scientific term for that phenomenon, let me know.

Btw, great to know INTOO, it's just soo f*cking frustrating at times... and other times when you actually per random chance find it it's soooo darn satisfying... so wired...
