did u watch coding videos while doing all your agility

I started my career 12 years ago with a college education. I’ve been doing this professionally for many years now. I’m currently a Principal Software Engineer at a Fortune 100 company.

There’s both good and bad advice in many coding videos. You shouldn’t really take them all at face value. You need to come up with your own professional opinion instead of just regurgitating what someone else tells you. Otherwise you won’t be any better than just a code monkey.

Actual Engineering is way more than “coding.” It takes way more skills than knowing how to swing a hammer or operate a crane to design a skyscraper that’ll stand against whatever the environment throws at it. The same goes for making an MMO server that can handle anything that tens of thousands of users throw at it. No video exists out there for designing such a system because not even the big MMOs out there have succeeded at that.

Well, no video until this. 🙂

Also note the utter lack of code. Writing the implementation is oftentimes the least time consuming aspect of this type of work.

@True 2k8 said that this plugin will be used by the american government to farm personal data and spy on us. Can you offer assurances that this isn't true? 

The only data taken is that which shows up in the warning. You’re welcome to inquire with the RuneLite devs about it. They’re the ones that require me to put the warning in there. There’s also  EU laws that require such disclosure as well.

I take less information about your player than Jagex does and nothing personal about you specifically. Also nothing is being logged/persisted.

Nah those plugins are undetectable trust.

Undetectable by Jagex maybe but not by me. I can see if you start poking around with my protocol. 

Now if you were to create a custom modified plugin that wasn’t on the hub and attempted to use it for PvP scouting of other players, then that would risk a ban sure.

probably gets you banned using this?

Nope. It’s literally deployed by Jagex and reviewed by RuneLite as consistent with Jagex’s rules. You can get to it by launching RuneLite from the Jagex launcher and then installing it from the Plugin Hub within RuneLite. If Jagex has any issue with it, they can direct RuneLite to remove it at any time. Nobody should ever be banned for using a plugin that is publicly distributed on the Plugin Hub.

Interesting, but wish it would work without sending personal details

what is the purpose of obtaining the characters personal details?

What personal details are you concerned about? It doesn’t take your login information at all. The account hash is just a unique id that Jagex had RuneLite put in their API as a replacement for your login username as a security measurement so your login details aren’t revealed to identify you as separate from someone else. RuneLite wouldn’t approve the plugin if it used anything nefarious. It also takes your player’s position to use to determine where you are in the game and then to display others that are around you as well as displays you to others on their clients.

It sounds like you want to figure out how to use my server for PvP scouting, something explicitly against the Jagex rules on third party clients, by tracking players without their permission (which can only be done by modifying my plugin source but IP limits constrain the potential of this) but you’re also not wanting to give up your own information in the process to accomplish that lol. Presumably because it allows others to also find you?

You can’t see someone else’s position without also giving up your own. My server filters out who needs to see who based upon who is next to whom, which requires a position. It cannot communicate any of that information back to you without your IP address. That’s how everything on the Internet works. Use a VPN if you’re so concerned.

There is a warning popup when you install it.

not giving this fella me info.. but grats or not.

Use a VPN if you want. I don’t do anything with your IP other than to prevent too many logins and to be able to send packet data back to your client.

Our friend @Jebrim has created and launched a whole new platform for the RS community. It is called Jebscape and is a plug in that allows you to see people on other servers or worlds appear as a ghost next to your character.

 

Basically, you install a plug-in called Jebscape and everyone who has it installed can see each other + chat with each other across different RS worlds if in same location. The characters appear as green ghost/avatar with name + world above their head. All info including IP + character name + account hash gets sent to jebrim server.

 

Example:

 

Here are the PVP implications:

 

Excellent for scouting.

 

It comes at the cost of Jebrim getting all your personal details:

 

 

This product cost Jebrim an arm and a leg to create (6k invested so far):

 

 

So far there hasn't been a lot of interest as only 90 installs: 

 

Not a great return on investment but we will see as more and more figure out the implications of its use.

 

 

Here's a link to the full youtube video with more details:

 

 

What do you think this means for scouting worlds for PKing in the future? What implications will this have on the clan world?

 

 

You won’t be able to use it for PvP scouting. It was designed as opt-in only and is why it was approved. You’re also limited to the number of logins you can do per IP, so don’t expect to spoof a bunch of data on users you want to try scouting if you modify the plugin. I can also do things to prevent the Wilderness from being tracked if needed. That was the initial plan but I took it out because the RuneLite devs didn’t feel it was necessary due to the opt-in nature.

1. What are your thoughts on preferred pronouns/gender inclusive pronouns? (I know this might be controversial for some but its Friyay so keep it friendly 🙂) 

 

As someone that uses different pronouns as they were at birth i personally believe in obvs having your own choice to go he/she/they, personally xe xer and all that i dont really use or understand but hey if someone uses them ill try and remember.

 

As for others idc what people call me if they don't know me and just go by voice but if i pm and correct them or they do it with intentions of like eliciting a reaction it will start to annoy me, and obviously i give more leeway for people that knew me before as ritchie cause ye it will take time for people to adjust and i think people that dont get that people do have to adjust and learn.

 

2. What are your preferred pronouns? Mine is she/her

Thanks for sharing sir. Now I know to call you Ritchie from now on. 😇

I’m curious how many people genuinely enjoy the work that they do. Idk if it’s because I’m still “young” in my career (about 1-2 years out of college), but I still daydream about how nice it would be to be excited every morning to go to my job and do the work that I do. It’s crazy to me how much of our lives we will spend “working” and seems pretty dreadful if we don’t enjoy what we do.

 

I heard from some older and wiser friends that this just isn’t very realistic most of the time. The idea that you work to earn, and use the money to spend time doing activities you enjoy outside of work seems to be the prevalent thought for most people I discuss with.

 

Right now I don’t mind my job, but it definitely doesn’t excite me. I just work for the paycheck and to be financially secure. Do you work hard in a job you don’t necessarily love in order to play hard, or go out of your way to make sure you’re genuinely happy, content, and maybe even excited with your role even at the cost of less compensation? 
 

 

I love my job! 😄

Screw that crap. I find it annoying even bringing this nonsense up. It’s a religion they’ve invented for themselves.

Just curious but what do you think the 700 known victims of sexual abuse, from the Southern Baptist Church, suffer from? Do you genuinely believe that being sexually abused by people in a position of power (Church leaders) doesn't have any long term impact on ones mental health? 

 

I reject the entire field of Psychology/Psychiatry. They have not advanced at all since the psuedoscience era of Freud. It's all a bunch of utter nonsense due to the same foundational epistemological problems it has always suffered from.

You cannot make predictions about human behavior that always come to pass.

You cannot repeat experiments on human behavior and get the same results each time.

You cannot isolate and control variables related to human behavior while leaving the rest the same.

Hypotheses and theories related to human behavior are not falsifiable due to the reliance on statistics; the use of counterexamples to disprove them would result in the entire field being debunked.

• Why do you think it is just to take away the benefits of marriage of LGBTQ people? (mostly the economical ones)
• How are in your view USA Military and CIA actions in the period after WW2 (meddling with internal affairs and values of other countries) any different from the North forcibly changing Southern Laws in the 19th century?

Same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, and homosexual behavior is illegal in Texas, and rightfully so.

There was some justification to prevent the spread of our enemy that posed an existential threat to the United States. It was a matter of national security.

The situation with the American South was very different. The federal government declared war on its own states. It committed treason. Here is how it is defined in the Constitution: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

Lincoln committed treason against the states by levying war upon them.

Do you think secularism has a place in government?

People can choose whether or not they put their stick in another man's butt. There are homosexuals who come to Christ that recognize the error of their ways and turn away from such sin. They then become ex-gays. They go and marry a woman and father children.

All laws are based on the morality of the people that put them in. Christians get ALL of their morality from the Bible and do not recognize any secular standard for morality. To remove the influence of religion from morality essentially means giving atheists a monopoly control of government and discriminates against the religious. This goes directly against everything the First Amendment stood for.

I have always wondered how people with strong state bonds considered themselves. I think you feel very much like a Texan more so than an American, just like someone from Germany would see himself as a German rather than a European. The EU and the USA are about the same in scale, similar population, GDP,...  Do you think of each state as it's own country as we in the EU have countries (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands,... vs Texas, California, New York, Colorado,...)?

Yes. That's how it was originally understood here. The Constitution itself even speaks to the united States in the plural as the many states, rather than a single country that is called "The United States of America." We are a federation of many states, in many ways just like the European Union is.

do you think a woman should have to get permission from her husband to cut her hair?

That's an interesting question. I believe a husband and wife should probably consult each other before making major changes to the way they look. Spouses should generally try to look good for their other half. That's just proper decency.

Religious individuals follow and abide by their own set of moral codes.  Different denominations and organizations follow different guidelines.  What one group finds morally unacceptable, another may actively embrace.

 

In Runescape, each clan has its own set of moral codes that attracts a certain type of individuals.

 

Historically, we've seen such things as:

- Returning in a battle being "dishonorable" (Alliance clans from ~2004-2006)

- Looting being frowned upon, sometimes leading to disciplinary action (many clans throughout history)

- Insulting or "flaming" individuals from other clans on community sites leading to a kick/temporary clan ban (Eternal Honour)

- Praying in P2P single being punishable (Damage Inc from around 2007ish)

- Rules against 1-iteming/welfare gear (many clans throughout history)

- Rules against multiboxing or account sharing

On the flip side, we've seen some clans (and probably progressively so from early times) disregard all rules.  We've seen that when one clan plays by rules and an "honor code" it can be taken advantage of and preyed upon.

 

Given the above, would you draw parallels between Runescape clans and religion? 

 

These rules are motivated by a desire to have an even competition. Some value this. Others don't. That's what determines whether they choose to follow such rules. These involve more underlying value systems that individuals hold. These value systems are also heavily influenced by the culture of the clan one is in.

There are parallels only in the sense that the concept of culture is common denominator involved here. I wouldn't specifically say clans and religions are linked, but rather that attitudes within each can be influenced by culture.

thats not what I asked so I'll ask again

 

 

 

Just because it was uncommon does not mean it was popular to do. Women had to fight for civil rights and so did minorities, so no, it was not common as you're making it out to be. What I'm asking is DO YOU believe they should have the rights given they did not back at that time. A few might have had the privilege's, but not the same RIGHT as a white male. 

 

 

 

to add, lets just say do you want muslim people voting in the same elections as you or do you think they should have the privilege to? YOUR OPINION.

in other words you think "fuck you I got mine" voting should happen

I have already stated that the condition to vote is to own real estate property, live on that real estate, pay one's taxes on said property, and to be a citizen. Those are the only criteria I consider. Being a woman or Muslim is irrelevant. If some people can't handle meeting the qualifications to vote, then they don't deserve to be able to vote. It's entirely merit-based.

Atheism is bad. Atheism leads to a loss of morality, which in turn leads to cheapening the value of life and thus more murdering occurs.

All morality comes from God. The same reason why murder, theft, incest, and bestiality are all wrong is the same reason why sodomy is wrong.

You don't understand how the Constitution works. It enumerates a handful of powers. Anything not expressly listed is something the federal government is not allowed to do. That's the entire notion of limited government. States gave a small number of their massive powers to the federal government to govern affairs between the states and foreign countries. The rest they retained for themselves or their people. There is no power authorizing the federal government to provide social services to the general public.

The right to keep and bear arms refers to any weaponry. The Founders were well familiar with a variety of different types of arms.
