Netiquette rule nr 6 - Share expert knowledge!

 Netiquette rule nr 6 - Share expert knowledge!


I am an IT student, so when I saw this rule my first thought was  “STACKOVERFLOW!!!”.

I feel sorry for mom, who studied programming a long time ago before 2008. Without possibility to ask someone on the internet she must go to professor consultation or use trial and error methods. It's no need to tell that programmer life nowadays is a lot easier and faster than it was before question-and-answer websites like Stackoverflow became renowned.


I do remont in my house by myself, so when I saw this rule my second thought was  “YouTube!”.

I was never teached how to use instrumen or do some building things. If there were no video instructions on YouTube, we would have to spend  money to hire professionals. But thanks to workers who share their expert knowledge, even amature like me did a pretty normal renovation by myself.


I am an EVE online player, so when I saw this rule my third thought was “Community!”.

Eve online is a VERY complicated game ( because that it even deserves an alternative name - Excel table online). And in-game tutorials do not help a lot. But thanks to the community, learning the game became a lot easier. You can always ask questions in help chat and get answers without trolling like “NOOB!” (partly because games are so complicated that even old players do not know everything and often ask questions in help chat). Also in the game are corporations(guilds) who named themself “Academy”. It's really in the game academy, where experienced players tech new pilots. That's why mostly what players know about the game is from the game community.

Ethics and IT

  Ethics and IT In the last post, I need to write about one of the online codes of ethics for IT. I chose to write about ITP mandatory code of ethics. Well, mostly just copy-paste the official info. The Institute of IT Professionals New Zealand Incorporated (ITP), a non-profit association of IT professionals in New Zealand. In order to obtain membership status, one must agree to the company's code of ethics.  The full Code of Ethics is made up of three components: The code itself, made up of the 8 Tenets Guidelines and Interpretation, to assist in interpretation of the Code Breaches and Disciplinary Process, defined within the IITP Bylaws The 8 Tenets: Good faith - Members shall treat people with dignity, good faith and equality, without discrimination; Integrity - Members shall act in the execution of their profession with integrity, dignity and honors to merit the trust of the community and the profession, and apply honesty, skill, judgement and initiative to contribute positiv

Two pre-internet phenomena

  New week, new post. This time we will write about : two different phenomena (technology, practice, custom, etc.) from the previous history of the Internet (before the advent of the Internet, ie in 1991) - one that could still be familiar to today's Internet user (ie coming out today) and the other lost (either replaced by newer technologies / practices or otherwise extinct). Let’s start from “lost” technology. The PLATO System In 1960 at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, the Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations started as a project to make a system for computer-based education. But become mostly the prototype of the modern internet. The ability to support so many users simultaneously helped facilitate the creation of an online community.  “What had started as a means of creating educational materials and fostering literacy came instead to foster online communities, distance education, online classified ads, discussion groups on myriad topics, PLATO “cel

A few facts about history of video games.

The last day of the deadline. It's time to write the blog. Subject - "Describe three exciting historical IT solutions": before 1900, 1901-1950 and 1951-2000. So, I decided to write about a few interesting game facts. First artificial game opponent or “Mechanical Turk” One of the most famous and popular turn-based strategies is chess. And one of the oldest. Not surprised, that first not-human opponent was invented for this game.  “Mechanical Turk” was constructed by Wolfgang von Kempelen in 1770 by Wolfgang von Kempelen. “Turk” was the automaton - a relatively self-operating machine. “Gameplay began with the Turk moving his head from side to side to survey the board before appearing to decide on the first move. His left arm then jerked forward, the fingers splayed, and he picked up a chess piece, moving it to another square before setting it down.” 2. And he plays very well. He even can detect when humans are cheating. That was impressive ….trick. It actually was operated
