What I noticed right away was: It’s the ugliest hello world ever. It’s the slowest hello world ever. (For a long time it was also the record size hello world at something like 64MB, but that’s later and on a compiler.) And it doesn’t actually run on any platform except one: jre. And most binaries you find only run on one version of that one brand of jre.

Still, not the worst thing for writing web services in in late 90s. Doesn’t matter how slow it starts or how much space it takes. Responding to requests, being familiar to new programmers and living in a sandbox was enough.

Any sufficiently advanced technology does. It’s nice to have tools, whether they’re ready baked ones or there’s some assembly required. The latter tends to be more adaptable, but using what’s in reach is smart.

Swedish Resident Banana Alien. Why not just go all the way?

Internet archive has been seriously endangered for a long time now. They were even attacked a while ago. The wayback machine is still not fully functional.

I remember a story and pictures where there was a party of some sort and at some point during the night people decided to go get food. Maybe the handiest place was a drive through our maybe it was just one of those ideas, but a fairly considerable number decided to go walk to the nearby drive through. There was a picture of them, in a long single file lined up along the lane.

If she had, we wouldn’t be in this timeline.

That’s probably true for most people.

Rinkeby.

(Joking, of course. Stockholm is nice.)

I don’t think they’re for charging while you sit on it. They’re for charging while the thing is parked. You may or may not be able to park them sunward. Can’t see if they can be tilted up in addition to that.

There should be an edit function on a comment. Of course clients and federation vary.

Idiot? How about an attempted murder suspect.

or opera

Or an Imperial Wizard.

And that small batch had a label with a different list of ingredients/allergens somehow? I’m curious how that happened.

Let the wookiee in.

we can do that kind of thing again.

I admire the optimism.

Music.

No, they have colossal overpopulation.

Is just that it happened a while ago and now the massive population is getting old and the bottom of the pyramid isn’t looking too good for them anymore.

That sounds like a huge cost, though less money is used to abstract it.

The same thing all the other people who can’t drive do: employ services or move to a place you can live in.
