Oh man! That took me down memory lane!

I once had to reverse engineer a database to make an invoice integration. They had an int named flags. It contained all status booleans in the entire system. Took me a while to figure that one out.

Store 8 bits in the same byte then 👌

He is the odd one out. Most have special gear.

How the hell did i know the rythm of this post already on the second sentence?

That’s what they censored?

Wow! I want to upvote, downvote and report you at the same time. Kudos!

In the end all i did was leave this lousy comment

Cool illustration! Thanks!

TIL Equity isn’t always regarding to money. I thought the E in DEI stood for equality until now.

So I should do this with at least ny favorite games before wiping my drive and installing a Linux distro?

Can I run any game on Linux steam if it is bought there?

Yeah, I used to use those, just never caught the abbreviation.

Oh, i see, Thanks! Never heard that term before.

Maybe these are noob questions, but what is a TUI? And is this filling the same niche as overseerr, or is this something different?

Was Skype really relevant when the pandemic hit? Nobody I knew used it anymore. And teams had mostly taken over for Skype for business by then as well.

Is cap short for something, or just a random word selected here?

No. If I scroll all the way to the left so that I get to the page where I can select from my subscribed communities, all, local etc. by mistake. Then I cannot get back to what ever feed I swiped away from. If I try to swipe right again I end up unsubscribeing to some unlucky community.

Also, it would be nice to get an undo option in the notification toast you get for unsubscribeing to a community if possible. I just lost one without noticing which one while recreating my issue for this reply.

I am on iOS on an iPhone 13 if that helps 🙂

This is my main lemmy app.

The one mildly annoying thing that might be a user error on my point is that if I swipe into the community selector menu, I’m stuck. I haven’t figured out how to get back to where I was.

I haven’t touched any front end code since I was a junior about 15 years ago. My CS degree didn’t involve any more gui than simple stuff, so I was very overwhelmed by it. I ended up focusing on database work and business processes instead.

The way the DOM and shadow DOM is described now seems logical, so I guess I shouldn’t have too much issue wrapping my brain around the concepts should I end up needing it in the furure. But I am very fond of where I am working purely with business logic and leaving the graphics to other people.

I think the other comment was an excellent explanation of what the DOM is for somebody with a little bit of computer science experience at least.

But front end vs back end development explained like youre five:

• a front end developer makes what you can see when you use some software (the term is mostly used when talking about web development, but almost all business software is websites today). So they know how to place buttons in the right place, how to make it look good or move around or what ever you want your website to do. I.E display a form to fill out when you want to check out your shopping basket in a web shop.

• a back end developer makes the logic that happens behind the scenes and makes it available for the front end. I.E. Pass on the data from the form the user just entered to the orders database.

• a full stack developer knows how to do both.

Edit: just realised I misunderstood your question. Keeping the comment though since somebody Else might not know the difference between backend and frontend

It wasn’t meant as shitting on front end. I love a good gui. I just don’t understand half of the things you guys work with.

I work mostly with business logic. Integtations, APIs and process automation etc. GUI stuff is quite far from my day to day so I don’t have any incentives to learn at work either.
