Blurb: This one's about as niche as you can get.

Quinn: Sounds interesting; tell me more!

Blurb: This is a training film targeted at Royal Air Force workshop and field painters that stresses and explains the importance of a high-quality paint finish on the aerodynamics of aircraft.

Quinn: Cool! [immediately add to it to watch list]

Is there a full AppleScript grammar anywhere? The Language Guide has syntax diagrams for most of it and you could probably derive most of the grammar from that but there would definitely be some guesswork needed.

Legend has it everything was in lex and yacc, I’m wondering if it ever ended up in a textbook or something. William R. Cook’s paper has a fragment of the grammar.

So annoying having to support decimal mode in my 6502 emulator knowing I'm almost certainly never going to write any 6502 that requires it, but it's fairly likely that at some point it'll need to deal with some code someone else wrote that does. NES got this one right.

Hey, fun fact, 65816 in 6502 mode behaves differently in decimal mode than a real 6502; it fixed a few bugs. Woe betide anyone who wrote any code that worked around the old behaviour 😂

And that, my friends, is my 2025 work year done.

*phew*

Although Wade missed step 1, which is “file an ER for a modern screen saver API”. This would all be so much easier with app extensions.
