Apart from Youtube, I haven't encountered any website force autoplaying videos. Maybe that's because of the filter list set in my adblock.

That includes sites which use animated gifs in order to simulate playing a silent video, to trick you into clicking on it.

Now that's just dirty play.

Unfortunately I am unable to grasp what the attached image is trying to insinuate. Could you provide some context?

I was intrigued by the existence of a Vim based application for browsing, but not surprised.

How would I come about ensuring compatibility for websites with multiple interactive elements for viewing in Vimium? Do I install and test the website on Vimium during development too?

All of your points are valid, in fact I've personally had the same opinions for points 2, 3, 5 and 6 for a while. I wish I could upvote for each of your points

Easily the best website I've seen since 2024.

Hey, I know you! You're the potash guy!

Poor people have it.

Rich people need it.

If you eat it, you die.

What is it?

I love the assassin recruits mechanic. I just wish they would let me use more than 6 recruits at once and have them follow me like escorts, but I understand this was a necessary nerf.

I really appreciate how the hidden blade is kept as an OG weapon even late game for all of the entries I have played so far (till Rouge). The way it one shots the enemy if you time it perfectly makes you feel like a master for doing so. The kill streak combo goes so well with this that you don't even realise you just annihilated an entire army of brutes just like that.

Just think of it as 'Game Over'. This is just to ensure the responses stay within the scope of the question.

For further context, the website is virtually completely local and could be self-hosted. Aside from hosting the project itself, there is no central server to manage any aspect of the users' interaction with the site or allow communication with other users. There is no sensitive data stored barring the name of the user for which a pseudonym would be just as acceptable.

I think mentioning the ToS and privacy policy is pointless for creating an app like this. If it is possible, I would rather write them myself or omit them altogether.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

I would really like to get more about the 'business megaformal' option if I knew what it was called in real life

It was nice to have someone take this stand and I fully support this. People switching over to Linux already have their own stuff to deal with and need time to accustom to their new environment, and forcing them to embibe 'FOSS' philosophy and other strong opinions as held by others in Linux communities is only going to turn them off.

Listened to it for the first time two days ago and kept it going since

This is why ...] better

Sorry, what's the subject of that?

I was just referring to my original question i.e. how I should write comments in my code to explain its working if I have already done so in the code itself

Interesting to see your opinion on how commenting shouldn't be mandatory. I specifically go the extra mile to ensure my code is readable for everyone, by naming my variables and functions to be as self-explanatory as possible and breaking down long expressions to store chunks in variables. This is why I was feeling confused as to what more I could add to explain my code better, though I must admit there are still considerable complex portions in some of my projects that would appreciate similar simplification.

I believe you confused the 'how' of commenting the 'why' with 'why' of commenting the 'why', if that makes sense.

I am already aware of and totally agree with the need to document your code in this fashion for the convenience of others and self. What I am troubled about is its implementation in real life. How does one write comment that explains the 'why' of the code? How would I know if I haven't accidentally written something that explains the 'what' instead or anything that is simply redundant? It seems like this portion is left out 'as an exercise for the reader'.

Asking as a newbie programmer: how do you suggest we write comments that explain the 'why' part of the code? I understand writing comments explaining the 'what' part makes them redundant, but I feel like writing it the former way isn't adding much help either. I mean, if I created code for a clock, is writing "It helps tell what time it is" better than writing "It is a clock" ?

It would really help if someone could give a code snippet that clearly demonstrates how commenting the 'correct' way is clearly better than the way we are used to.
