Be sure to use the image upload field too

[-] calebegg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 month ago

How do I do that? Very new to lemmy. Using Boost. Thanks in advance!

[-] Trantarius@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Embed the image using markdown: ![some text](image URL)

I don't think Lemmy supports media fields in comments (though I've only skimmed the API, I could be wrong) just on posts. I usually use Postimages for hosting images for comments.

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Idk but Boost has a button for adding pictures to comments.

Seeing this actually sent a small wave of dread through my body

[-] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 60 points 1 month ago

Wdym? flamingo_pinyata's explaination was quite useful, I wish somebody had told me that long ago and it's still going to let me save so much time.

When I see �, I just assume the user or another dev is using a non-standard keyboard, or my fonts aren't up to date

When I see this shit, I lose all blood flow to the brain and then just collapse

Your Lemmy client appears to have a bug.

Good Ole Bobby tables.

That’s pretty funny! ���

Why is it that whenever something is spitting out junk data, those specific characters are involved?

[-] Vent@lemm.ee 102 points 1 month ago

� is used to represent an invalid character, so it makes sense that it'd appear often when bad data is being rendered (or good data is being rendered improperly).

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 68 points 1 month ago

Everything is 0s and 1s to a computer. What a pattern of 0s and 1s encodes is decided by people--often arbitrarily. Over the years there have been attempts to standardize encodings but, for legacy reasons, older encodings are still valid.

The 0s and 1s that encode ' in UTF-8 (a standardized encoding) are the same 0s and 1s that encode ’ in CP-1252 (a legacy encoding).

The � symbol is shown when the 0s and 1s don't encode anything of meaning.

= e2 80 99 (3 bytes)
’ = e2 80 99 (3 separate bytes)

[-] breakcore@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 month ago

Good to see it "spelt out" like that

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Right single quote (’) in UTF-8 (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2019) has the same bytes as ’ in cp1252 (which is more or less "ASCII" if we're doing ELI5). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252

Sometimes your keyboard or program's settings will use right single quote for apostrophes instead of a normal apostrophe. ' you might notice how this one is straight and not bent a certain way. This setting is often called smart quotes.

👺 May your socks always be wet.

If you do this, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

[-] noughtnaut@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

The special hell.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 40 points 1 month ago

You are evil

[-] frezik@midwest.social 36 points 1 month ago

Some hackers DoS the code. This guy DoS's the corporate process.

I feel like saying nothing but undefined is worse.

Especially when there is absolutely no JavaScript in the stack

If you're reading this, you probably live in a country that is a party to United Nations Convention Against Torture.

If your company is allowing this, please contact your government or another member state.

Junior dev: Oh no what is that symbol? Let me examine the code closely to find out

Senior dev: The form still works. Fuck you.

[-] letsgo@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago

Must be the updated version of ~~~~####3$3$$%^^~~~! NO CARRIER

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

At least where I work, the developers who actually wrote the code would probably never see it. We have service staff that deal with an initial problems reported from customers. They'd likely figure out someone actually entered those values.

[-] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 33 points 1 month ago

You must have exceptionally competent first-level support.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

They are quite well seasoned. But it's also worth noting they are developers as well because the job usually has you debugging things or writing code that needs to be run for the specific customer. Not a large amount of code, but just things that end up being specific to a customer.

And if they have to come to a developer that actually works on the product, it's usually a pain to try and figure out what is going on. Thankfully, this is very uncommon.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

wow this is a good joke’ wonder if it'll work

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago

You'd need to put ’ (specifically) in place of a quotation mark. That is the cp1252 encoding of right single quote in utf 8.

"Wonder if it’ll work?"

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 1 month ago

This doesn’t makes any sense!

Honestly funny, since we don't have GDPR here in the US, I guess this is fair.

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago
[-] dan@upvote.au 3 points 1 month ago

Not sure how that's relevant, but some states do have an equivalent to GDPR. California has CCPA for example.
