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.

As a backend developer this could equally be real front end stuff or satire to take the piss out of it. To me the entire DOM stuff is as understandable as magical lore anyway.

Yeah they are great, but this exact one is my favorite ☺️

This is one of my favorite comic pages ever!

Yeah, i get that there are four boxes, but I don't feel the joke is funny without there being four actual possibilities and one is left out.

I cannot say I know a fourth, simple way of writing 3/4. For this to be funny for me there needs to be one. Help?

What is RD and AD?
