„Schon wieder?“
Michael Kreil erzählt auf seiner Website zunächst den historischen Aufstieg der NSDAP von 1920 bis 1941. Im Text sind bestimmte Schlüsselbegriffe braun markiert. Beim Scrollen färben sich diese Begriffe blau und der Text ändert sich: Aus der NSDAP wird die AfD, aus einem historischen Rückblick wird ein fiktiver Ausblick.

Für mich sind Syntaxdiagramme effektive Hilfsmittel, um schnell die Syntax einer Sprache zu überprüfen. (Wenn man sie auf die richtige Weise zeichnet.) Ich erstelle derzeit welche für
#Oberon, weil ich an einem Compiler schreibe.

Wenn ihr Arbeitgeber wärt oder es eventuell seid:
Ist es euch wichtig, dass IT-Zertifizierungen, die ein Ablaufzeitpunkt haben, regelmäßig erneuert werden?
Ja
Nein
Ich sehe das so... (Kommentar)

For someone who couldn't math right to save my life I sure do have many calculators.
Also, I don't know how to use these calculators. Except maybe the bottom one (which btw had batteries from 1982 inside, and it almost still worked).

Was the
#Antikythera Mechanism just a janky toy? New study of its triangular teeth offers a clue.

Thinking of NEXTSTEP this morning...I'd guess many aren't aware of the unusual color display arrangement.
The NeXTstation, which was the first "affordable" color solution for NEXTSTEP, has a 16-bit framebuffer, but instead of rendering the desktop in 65,536 colors (as per Windows or Mac hardware, say), it rendered in 12-bit color with 4-bits of alpha channel (transparency).
That means it had a palette of 4096 colors, with all colors available at once on the display (not like, say, the Amiga or Apple IIgs with a 4096 color palette, but video modes with a small subset of those colors available (yes, yes, HAM mode excluded). Additionally, anything on the screen had 16 levels of opacity available.
It's interesting to see in person, on the actual hardware (especially on a good LCD display). With dithering, it looks very close to 24-bit truecolor.
(The NeXT Dimension color board for the Cube allowed 24-bit color with 8-bits alpha, but that was not so frequently used -- less so than most NeXT hardware even...)
But that's not nearly the weirdest that NEXTSTEP-capable hardware got, when it came to color video display...
