@lapcatsoftware thanks for this, I remember Leopard being wonderful (I think I got on it later than the .0) and Snow Leopard being buggy (on the .0)

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too!

Andrew ZonenbergSteps to greatly advance the state of the art in any relatively obscure field:
1) Find a bunch of autistic nerds whose special interests broadly overlap with said field
2) Put them in contact and let them share ideas or, better yet, lab space
3) Buy them whatever they ask for
4) Wait and see what they come up with. Excitement guaranteed, you just have no idea exactly what kind.

Something about IR coms hit different. Having to point your Gameboy / PDA / Tamagotchi at a friend's identical device, hold a coat over them if it's too sunny, wait an unreasonable amount of time for the transfer to probably fail anyway. It was kinda fun. Communal. Felt like your were really giving/getting a gift.
@slyka Wow! There is only one image bearer!
Kartik AgaramMost beauty per unit code
Share your favorite short programs that have beautiful output.
Any output modality, any programming language, any units.
Recording of output helpful but not required.
I think a program is more beautiful that doesn't generate identical output each time. But that's just my opinion.
My candidate is ~24 lines of LÖVE or equivalent. I'll share it a little later.
I suppose 10print is another candidate.
Boost at will.
@pointlessone thank you, that made me realise I misunderstood what I was looking at due to poor layout. I thought the left 2 cols were Index and the right 2 were Overview, so I missed "Introduction" entirely.
That said the intro doesn't actually say much, there's still too much frontloaded "stuff", and then it goes straight into syntax for the remainder.
The demos are unhelpful too; where is a simple line or bar chart? How do I plot a CSV? There is nothing for beginners anywhere.
And the funny thing is I've used Gnuplot before, so I must've found actual documentation then. But it's so hostile I'm going to stubbornly give up on it and use something else 😌
