    I got way too hard into the Minecraft anarchy scene so I’ve got knowledge that even Minecraft fans find abhorrent.

    Setting up bots and automation, using server exploits to hunt for hidden bases, exploiting item duplication glitches, and of course using cheat clients. I’ve even written a few hacks for a private client my group used to make.

        Yes you got it ! By combining redstone elements you can make all the basic logic gates. You combine logic gates to make binary adders, multipliers etc… You can store data as inventories, like for example a chest with 5 slots filled won’t give the same signal as a chest with 3 slots filled. And finally you have various elements that can light up when powered so you make displays out of that.

          What can you actually all do within the context of the game and its limitations?

          Like what beneficial ends can it help achieve?

            Oh, it is functionally useless in the context of the game, more of a “because they can” kind of deal… That is why you’ll almost exclusively see that kind of things in Creative mode - it eats up tons of resources for no discernible end.

    I play a mud called Starmourn. I know the archeology system very deeply, including how long it takes for your npc dig site members to dig, what the two stages of digging are, and what a supervisor actually does (…not as much as you’d hope, but more than you’d fear)

    I also know designing in the game, but they’re are many people in the game that design!

      I got your upvote, and I think maybe dial down the frequency a bit, and I’ve got to tell you, I don’t think real women like that particular activity as much as you seem to hope they do.

      Yes, in case you were wondering, that upvote opened the channel. From your phone history, I think you have pretty good taste. On the laptop, it’s mostly boring work stuff, but clearly your son is using your login for college stuff and some other stuff you don’t want to bump into if he forgets to use incognito mode next time. Give him his own login and he’ll stop changing your desktop wallpaper.

    I once worked for a company that designed “educational” programs that turned out to be little more than glorified corporate propaganda!

    Ask me what the appropriate level of cynicism should be when it comes to anything related to “corporate culture.”

    Go on… ask me.

      Oh yeah? Name three of their albums.

      That’s a pretty low bar, I know, but as I’m more into ProgMetal, I’m unable to name albums that are actually ProgRock. Well, except Rush, maybe.

    I have a lot of niche knowledge about specific issues relating to different brands/models of laptops and phones. it’s very rare I find an issue I can’t diagnose within an hour with prior knowledge. ask me anything I suppose?

    oh, also, I happen to know that Ohio is the only state that doesn’t share a letter in common with the word mackerel. works for the territories too. doesn’t really get more niche than that.

    • I am a beast at movie and tv themes
    • I’m very good at guessing boardgames from just very few clues (bu i think that part of that skill is that people who ask usually don’t ask for the deep knowledge)
    • I have a triggerable wealth of knowledge about random trivia facts. During some conversations i will just randomly remember something related to the current topic and then spout it. My goto fact when someone asks me to give some random trivia is that alpaccas have a set of razor sharp teeth between their molars that they use mainly to bite off other alpaccas testicles

          I lucked out, I’m on a two year project that just wrapped up and we skipped useMemo for the most part. Then it got announced that the new React version will depreciate that.

          Good luck dude.

            There will be no wrapping up this project in the foreseeable future as it’s part of our main platform. I’m looking forward to moving from cra to vite and removing one ore more of the three css frameworks we are using. The App is also still incomplete as it’s replacing an ancient asp net project still partly in use … so it’s legacy hell over here. Also it’s all class components so … no useMemo atleast for now.

            Edit: thanks as well, appreciate it.

    I stumbled into an optics development project over a decade ago. Today I develop multiple systems a year and know the math behind it pretty well, although I use the dedicated software. I’ve also worked on the manufacturing of lenses. I’ve always been into photography and hope to start a niche camera lens company in the US just like MS optics in Japan.

    For some reason I remember a lot of ANSI terminal escape codes. They were used all the time on DOS machines, and work in a similar way on Unix terminals.

      They don’t work on windows terminals?? I only use the color ones but I will be devastated if it turns out they only work in Linux.

        I’m not sure since I haven’t really used Windows for 20 years or so. I don’t think though, since there are separate CURSES libraries for Windows which don’t operate using escape sequences.

        It’s a good idea, although some terminals will pause output when they play the sound. I always disable any sound from my terminal anyway, because computers should be seen and not heard. 😆
