I’m a software engineering developer from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
I still use Ada daily for my personal projects after having used it at work. I find it compliments my thinking patterns well. My only gripe with it is that they ate too much of their own dog food at AdaCore and now it can be hard to install Ada and gprbuild (due to a circular dependency). Plus gprc stole libgpr and broke some stuff too.
That would be an excellent idea. But I feel like an even broader community should be created. Like a generic book club, but for code bases! Could even have a small handful of different code bases on the go at a time. I’d love to get to know lemmy’s, but also e.g. neovim, or even unciv :)
Maybe one day it could even start tackling Moby Dick!
I’m also wondering what’s in the top-left. Is it a bowl of stones?
Wait! I figured it out.
You were close with C-section, but got the direction wrong. Clearly this is getting ready for urgent replacement of gizzard stones! :)
All praise our lord and saviour git rebase -i

Answering both: dial image for reference to what the “modes” are, and my dial is gross. Plus that was the best image I could find describing it, but had trouble getting a clean download. Google images can suck that way. If you get me a clean link, I’d update the post.
In case anyone wants the real meanings: I am not a lawyer, read the f***ing manual, bank of america.
Beej’s guides are absolute classics. The networking guide is also amazing. Definitely worth the read.
FYI: I’m starting with the outline of the left half of the leaf. I have to go to work soon, but hopefully there’ll be enough outline for the rest to be filled in (just mirror it one pixel over).
Sadly front end, like “High Level” is a very relative term. For example, in compiler design, the bit that parses code is called the “front end” since the “back end” is what emits machine code. I think that’s what they mean here, the “front end” that understands D3D8 code has been added, presumably there is also a “back end” that converts the parsed/analyzed D3D8 code into valid opcodes for consumption by GPU/CPUs.
In the other direction, a UI/UX is sometimes called a “back end” when it is part of a more complex embedded project where physical controls are the “front end”.
