Lambda
I’m a software engineering developer from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
This is really exciting, as a needle-phobe myself. Still can’t replace an IV line though, but good progress nonetheless!
If you read the readme, this looks like it’s specifically for when you don’t know the correct tld or spelling of the site you’re looking for. Google searches often censor sites of borderline legality, but they’ll usually still have Wikipedia articles with accurate links.
This specifically only redirects .idk domains as a search helper. Could it possibly work better as a browser extension? Maybe. :)
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).
Beej’s guides are absolute classics. The networking guide is also amazing. Definitely worth the read.
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”.
