Writing an infinite "hello world!" loop on an Atari 800XL was my first programming experience... in the mid-2000s.


I mean, I did start in the late 80s...but since I can't reply to the flagged comment I'll do so here.

I still feel pretty good. I'm still squatting 2.5x my bodyweight and not slowing down in the gym yet.


i owned an apple ii. i learned on quickbasic 4.5 (pirated!). just ribbing.


Yeah I thought it was funny. I have no idea why you were flagged dead. I vouched at least.


and if you find a video that hasn't had the ads tagged yet, the UI for it is pretty easy to figure out.


Chromebooks are ubiquitous in U.S. primary and secondary schools


As someone who used the HTML gmail interface right up until google pulled the plug: the JS version is much slower to load. Every morning, I get to have about 10 seconds thinking about how it used to be faster.


If each step was 1 frame, and the video played at 240 frames per second, the video would last about 17.5 years


That feature seems common to other git hosts / forges. For example, here's one of Dillo's files, from a few commits ago, from their cgit-based host

https://git.dillo-browser.org/dillo/plain/src/ui.cc?id=29a46...


That doesn't have open CORS headers: https://tools.simonwillison.net/cors-fetch?url=https%3A%2F%2...

It's also not being served via a caching CDN, which means I don't feel comfortable running anything automated against it as that might add load to the server that they aren't ready for.


No doubt this is desirable. However, adding all the CSS features required to support cgit may have been a lot more work than editing cgit's CSS. It's an attempt at avoiding yak shaving; adding recursive sub-projects that balloon a project's scope of work far beyond the original plan.

Dillo is actively developed, and the project of "migrate away from github" is complete, so now other work can be started and completed (like adding the CSS features required to support mainline cgit).


Redundancy for read access to the source code is a concern for Dillo. Some years ago, the domain name registration lapsed, and was promptly bought by an impersonator, taking the official repository offline. If it hadn't been for people having clones of the repository, the source code and history would have been lost.

How do people find your online project and know it's you (instead of an impersonator) without relying on an authority, like GitHub accounts or domain names? It is a challenging problem with no good solution. At least now the project is alive again and more resilient than before.


Child safety locks do this. They prevent the rear doors from being unlocked and opened from the inside.


Well, I learned something new today! I always thought that kind of thing would be illegal because it's a fire hazard -- if the driver was unconscious after an accident, the passengers could be trapped in a burning car.
