You have a page. On top of the page, there are some search criteria and
other input elements and a submit button. The submit button is clicked,
sending a request to the server. Server-side code is executed to write
client-side vars. Based on these vars, divs are shown or hidden.
Why not just write or not write the html stuff server-side? I cannot
understand it. And it is UGLY. If other client-events were going to interact
with the divs, I could see it. But... they aren't. The page is always posted
back to itself for any kinds of show/hide stuff.
What am I missing?

Well, it's hard to say without seeing the resultant HTML, but perhaps
because options exist to show the content in those DIVs with some
client-side action? If not, then, no, it doesn't make any sense to return
content that will never be displayed or used in any way.

It's what we're missing. We're missing the page/code in question to
see what it does, and we're missing the intentions of the original
programmer.
It could be they did that because they didn't know how to do it
client-side. It could be they did have a server-side reason that is
no longer valid and haven't updated the code. It could be the server
side operation is for securing data or preventing client-side spoofing
of some sort. It could be simply because each server request
generates a log they can use to track activity on their site and the
user's experience.

I guess I am glad to hear this. I was looking and looking at this stuff,
when I finally understood what was happening, I was flabergasted.

Hi all,
This will sound REALLY stupid, but I wrote some code a fair while ago
(beginning of this year), and I've done something a specific way, but for
the life of me I can't remember why, or whether the difference between the 2

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
