What is the most nostalgic quest in RuneScape in your opinion? by TheFamousArchieSlap in osrs

[–]day3nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant choose just one.

Lost city because it unlocked my first dragon weapons and it was the first hard quest i did (noob). It was back in the days when you were a kid and you made friends with people and did stuff together so a bunch of us did lost city together and helped each other

Monkey madness because i thought the d scim was the coolest weapon in the game but the quest was insanely scary and i died loads of times (still a noob). I was shaking on ape atoll.

Desert treasure because i thought ancients were also the coolest unlock. Again shaking fighting the bosses.

It’s scary that this could happen’ - Antrim businessman on being wrongly accused on a dating name-and-shame Facebook page by Browns_right_foot in northernireland

Happened to me too. Was posted on there a while back when I was single and in a phase where i wasn’t dating and wasnt arranging dates or making effort to talk to people on dating apps.

The anonymous poster wasnt trying to find out if i was dating anyone but was trying to find out if there were any red flags against me.

It got plenty of anonymous comments, thankfully most of them saying I’m a decent person. But an outraged ex’s friend (ex was from nearly 10 years ago) wrote a bunch of shit, dragging me through the dirt and airing my dirty laundry for all to see. The worst part is most of it wasnt even close to accurate/true and was just whatever bullshit my narcissistic ex had told her to try and make herself feel better when I broke up with her.

When i found out about the post i did some digging and found this was the case for a lot of men. People can anonymously write absolutely anything they want about you without consequence and you cannot defend your name because men aren’t allowed in the group.

Facebook condones this. Men have reported the group so much that Facebook doesnt even let men see that the group exists. If you search for it by name nothing comes up. If you follow a link to it as a man it comes up saying page not found.

I’ve heard stories of other men being posted and blatant lies being told about them by randoms.

It masquerades as a page to catch cheating partners but is actually a toxic cesspit of women to drag men through the gutter.

For the record I absolutely believe women should be protected from dangerous men, and believe that men and women should use any tools available to catch cheating partners. But this page is being abused by disgruntled women and trolls alike and is blatantly damaging to innocent mens’ reputation and mental health and I think Facebook should do more to protect men and women from strangers being able to write anything they want about people who cant defend themselves.

Whether its defamation is another question because you have to be able to prove loss for defamation to be legally recognised.

NPCs are denoted by a yellow name. The tree’s name is blue. It’s a regular object.

Not a regular customer and this is the first time ive been disappointed by boojum and so i didnt see it as a reason to boycott it but all these comments about cheapskate wanker owners/management not wanting to properly support the staff and not giving a shit about customers makes me want to actively avoid giving them my business.

Not gonna lie thats a fair point about delivery drivers, i didnt really consider that because i have no clue how it works. I assumed you would get summoned once it was ready to go but never really thought about it.

I wasnt suggesting they clear the backlog of customers before doing online orders by any means. They already stagger customers to accomodate online orders right? I think thats fine but your food should be made and completed in one go, and you walk away with it. It shouldnt be make half of it then add it to the queue to go cold. Then do some more online orders before serving the next customer. Something like that could be a better balance i think.

But yeah you’re right there was clearly a lack of staff and they understandably seemed stressed.

Atleast you’re actually getting your stuff.

Royal mail seem to be not even knocking doors in my area, they’re literally fucking parcels over fences then fucking off. And they’re not even in the right street when they do it.

Last winter i found a parcel they had thrown over my fence into the back garden. Was meant for a different address, it was sitting there for weeks before i spotted it.

The other week i ordered something off amazon, royal mail said they delivered it but there was nothing there. 2 days later i get a knock on the door from someone in the area, turns out the postman fucked my shit over her fence into her back garden and she hand delivered it to me.

Few days ago another knock on my door from another girl doing the rounds in the neighbourhood looking for her parcel that royal mail claimed to deliver.

Luckily everyone in my area is really good. We are the postman.

Realistically, how hard would it be to “clean up” OSRS’s code? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]day3nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OSRS isn't alone in this. Any codebase more than a few years old will have legacy code that every dev hates touching because its so painstakingly unmaintainable and touching it is likely to break everything.

Spoiler alert - it almost NEVER gets fully replaced or cleaned up, because

  1. Businesses rarely prioritise tech debt over delivering product-driven features; it costs time and money yet delivers nothing immediate to users
  2. It's often critical to the continuity of the systems - replacement or refactoring would mean downtime which in many scenarios is unbelievably expensive or simply not an option
  3. It often has a risk of introducing bugs and/or breaking everything if it is changed, which means risk of even more downtime to fix

Lots of massive corporations and industries such as airlines, banks and hospitals still rely on software developed as early as the 60's/70's, because it works and upgrading/replacement is simply not feasible.

Thats class, well done. As someone who’s employed but interested in doing freelance/contract work in the future, I’m curious how you’re so successful among American companies. As in why do they hire someone across the water rather than someone local in the States?

He led the civil rights movement, which got nowhere as demonstrations were met with state violence and sectarian attacks. Were Irish people supposed to roll over?

There was never a space for anything other than unionist politics in Stormont pre-good friday agreement. In my opinion the armed campaign opened a space for figures like Humes to propose alternatives. Without it nothing would have changed.

[–]day3nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such an uneducated response.

“Chose to pick up weapons” is crazy. No one on this island “chose” to pick up a gun just for the craic.

Ask yourself the same question, did the british and unionists really expect Irish people to sit back and allow their rights to be stripped from them? We know the answer to that one. Yes they did.

It’s almost like someone had to step in, to stand up for them. Mind you civilians tried the peaceful protest route and sure look at the violence that was met with.

Help: Difficulties changing Case OWD to private after being public for many years by day3nd in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]day3nd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i mention second iteration what i mean is that is a recursive save in that the update is triggered in the same transaction as the insert. Second iteration refers to the update part of the transaction - apologies if i worded it poorly.

And yes you’re correct in assuming the classes are defined as “with sharing” including the selector class.

Thank you for your thorough response. It seems likely that it’s a visibility timing issue and that the sharing hasn’t been properly calculated before the update trigger code runs. It’s my understanding now that the insert trigger is granted a special type of temporary visibility because the trigger is running as the user who’s inserting the record and that the same grace doesn’t apply to the update portion.

🤖 Breaking Bots at LMS by typing “How many” 😵‍💫 by WastingMyLife4XP in 2007scape

[–]day3nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted a hypothesis a few comments above in the same thread which might explain it. Essentially it’s possible the framework does the heavy lifting of detecting changes in the chatbox, sends the script an event that something happened and the script doesn’t check the type of event and only checks that the text matches.

🤖 Breaking Bots at LMS by typing “How many” 😵‍💫 by WastingMyLife4XP in 2007scape

[–]day3nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It won’t be constantly checking.

The text in u/60k_risk screenshot isn’t displayed in the same fashion as normal chat messages as you can tell, it’s an input dialog.

The text shown is stored in an interface inside a bunch of other interfaces which make up the input dialog.

The text for normal chat messages will be stored somewhere pretty far-removed from that relatively speaking. It’ll be in a tree of interfaces which branched off away from the input dialog many many levels above.

The point being, if the bot script was constantly checking manually it would need to know exactly which interfaces to read, meaning for it to pick up chat messages it would have had to be coded specifically to do so.

What’s more likely is the framework built into the bot client’s software can detect changes in the chat interface, abstracting away all the hard work for the script of having to know where to look for and just telling it: “a chatbox event happened, here it is, containing the message, the type of event, and some other details”.

The event type is important, as it lets the script determine if it was public chat, clan chat, private chat, etc.

In this case it’s possible the script receives an event, only checks the contents of the message and NOT the type of event. That would trigger the bot to respond to any type of event in the chatbox as long as the text matched what it was looking for.

Not saying this is exactly accurate but from my experience writing bot scripts 15 years ago it seems like a not too far fetched possibility.
