Supporting solution which I discovered for myself lately

I would like to share about one supporting solution in Microsoft Windows, which I started to use recently. The solution itself is pretty simple and many know about it. On the other hand it turned out that actually there are also so many people who do not know about it and discovering it could greatly help them. It is called a copy clipboard.

The idea is very simple - when one wants needs to copy a data (text, pictures) from one place to another they usually select the data which you want to copy then paste it. And the process is repeated several times until all data is copied. Taking use of clipboard solves this problem - you can select any amount data you want to copy and then paste it accordingly. This could be especially needed when you have only one monitor or use a laptop as in this case switching between apps might be too much and separating a screen vertically might not be very convenient.

But this supporting solution also has one negative point - it stores everything and user has to be aware about it. So basically, if a user copied a password to login to some service, it will be stored in a clipboard if this feature is turned on. So basically it can be a hole in a security of a company if their employee uses it. And also privacy can be broken - someone can turn this feature to know what you copied - maybe to see websites you visited or pictures you copied. Even closest family members can become a "spy" in this case. If a person wants to keep privacy, they have to either turn copy clipboard off, clear it or do not keep any sensitive data in it.

So if you never tried a copy clipboard and do not see the problems with keeping a history of copied data, you can try it by hitting hitting windows + v buttons combination or turning it on in settings. I personally use it all the time just keeping in mind the negative sides of this support solution.

One of Virginia Shea's 10 Rules for Netiquette (and my own observation)

Image
 This is my personal example of my observation of Virginia Shea's 10 rules in action. I am going to talk about examples in gaming/streaming industry. Currently I am not a gamer anymore, but several years ago I was actively playing videogames as well as watching streams. The games I was playing included League of Legends, Hearthstone, Call of Duty, CS and some more and I watched gamers streaming them. Watching game streams led me to a conclusion, that there are basically two main behaviors of streamers - either they are polite and respectful or totally unbearable from a social perspective. It was hard to find somebody somewhere in the middle. When I found about Virginia Shea's 10 rules for netiquette, I noticed that first ones generally follow all the 10 rules, whereas second  often break all of them - they swear, ignore other players privacy and bring negative to game. But I will focus on one rule and try to explain how those who follow the netiquette and those who don't ...

Wikipage article review - Low-code and no-code programming

Today I would like to give my opinion about a wiki article written by my fellow students about no-code and low-code programming. The article can be found under this link: https://wiki.itcollege.ee/index.php/Low-code_ja_no-code_programmeerimine To start, I would like to briefly tell why I chose this article to give my assessment. Although I have been working in IT for some time, I have never heard about these concepts and their use. I even mistakenly thought that low-code programming had something to do with low level programming. So it was very interesting and educative for me to read about these topics. What I liked in a introduction part, is the fact that in this article probable Estonian names for these concepts were given. In my opinion it is a nice habit for native speakers to have local naming for words as an alternative to English terms, this is why it could actually be a good idea to actually post this article on Wikipedia, so that these terms could be populated before these co...
