Alienation is a helluva drug

Extortion, more like

I tried something like this for my office chair. It was fine as a seat, but it raised my overall position on the chair vs the backrest and i ended up throwing out my back from the resulting offset. So, mind the chair you intend to use it on.

WROUNGG

But I am le’ tired.

Then take a nap, THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES

DEEP CUTS damn I flashbacked hard

Yes, well, my spoon is too big.

Served as “flat files” - filesystem, object store, what have you. No server logic generating content, just passing around of strings and binary data. Files are the representation are the source of truth. Counter to a web app, where the content response is ephemeral and the “source of truth” is scattered across a writeable DB and recombinated (potentially) on every request.

Interesting question though, I (a web dev) just take the term for granted.

I feel a repressed memory or two stirring 😐

I’ve seen some active instances die due to admin neglect (not paying the bills, for instance), and I’ve wondered how those communities have fared since, since they’d have to start over elsewhere, and without all the content and history from their origin server. Same goes with user accounts too.

Just read a thing about how persistent usernames may work better than actual ID. Of course, I don’t have a link, and I’m not finding anything on Google right now, but as someone who uses the same handle across multiple services, which makes my activity traceable, but not necessarily to my real identity, I definitely think there’s something to that.

I would love to see the test suite

my secret mission with Perchance is to get people interested in coding with a smooth, fun learning-curve

Seems like it worked!

I do web dev on a daily basis, and I tend to think of HTML as “formatted” data.

A database has data in it, but it’s in a format of columns and rows, like a spreadsheet.

My application fetches that raw data and uses code to manipulate it - it can inspect it, rewrite it, combine it with other data from other places, validate it against rules - all sorts of stuff.

Since my app is a web app, all that code is designed to use the data formatted in columns and rows from the database, and use it to generate new data in HTML format to send to the browser.

Technically, writing HTML for a browser is a form of programming - it’s a set of instructions that tell the browser how to display the data in the HTML. It’s not considered programming in a professional* sense, though, as HTML doesn’t get, send, change, or process data. Its purpose is as a format for data to be sent and read by something else (the browser).

*professional as in job titles that affect your salary

Fuck material UI. Forever.

Fellow Vue enjoyer! I love Vue, it’s so friendly. Maintaining a complex React app feels like getting dragged behind a truck down a one way road.

(Did you like my two way data binding joke there?)

That is literally what it is :D

Only if it’s one per extremity. Like running around on your middle fingers

If you want to talk weird, each leg on a horse is actually one really long finger.
