10/20 - Frightful Friday!

It's almost as if the plebs don't deserve CORS.

 

Hey @Salamander ! Haven't seen you much lately. Hope everything is good.

The Discussions and Answers is blank until you or someone else in the group adds in comments about the problem. The other document(s), the problem, is what you start with. Read whatever that is and it will have a final question at the bottom that you should focus your analysis on.

 

I forgot to say yesterday but I ended up seeing "Battle of the Sexes", I chose that over the other options since they said it would probably be the first of my choices to leave theaters. It was actually really good

 

If PC/Helper used HTML5 messaging, you could intermingle the domains without needing CORS workarounds.

But they work by a strange emulation of "events", by setting domain-specific database values and reacting to changes in these values.

It's a great workaround for messaging between two windows that don't have handles to each other, but it has its own set of drawbacks. Like it's stuck on the same domain. Because the storage is domain-specific.

I think ideally, it'd be nice to have a local server that handles PC helper requests, and then helper scripts that listen to the local server in each window, waiting for the local server to bounce these requests to them.

 

Very long

You can correct me if I am wrong but I feel like that won't play nicely with some of the potatoes that people turk on. But I guess that we shouldn't be worried about them with making scripts

 

How long?

 

I'm in a unique position of having both beasts and potatoes.

I run local servers with Node on my 10W Core m5 potato and it doesn't hurt at all.
As long as it's just doing something really simple like what I described, running a local server is no biggie.

Playing a YouTube video requires more CPU resources than running a simple local server does.

 

Gotcha, thanks! I only had time to briefly look over the instructions and the material this morning and I was confused so thought I'd asked here before shooting an email to the requester!

Everything is good, just been pretty busy the past month or so and haven't had too much time to sit down and focus on turking, thanks for asking

 

What do you run a local server for?

 

I don't feel like doing anything today

You're wrong lol

 

A middleman that scripts running on different profiles, domains, or computers on my network can talk to each other with.


I also like HeadshotBox, but I don't run that one on my potato, because I don't play CSGO on my potato.

You might be giving too much credit to some of the potatoes that people turk on.

True story.

A lot of them are really bad.

That's one of the reasons I go to such lengths to optimize for performance for any script I believe I'll eventually release to the public.
