It’s a superset of JavaScript. The big add is static typing, reducing the chance of runtime type errors. It compiles to vanilla JavaScript for distribution. Other new features include enums, interfaces, and generics for more type safety.

It’s da bomb

1xx - We’re still working on it

When it fails, it at least points you to the site where everyone asks for help.

“Can I get a sundae?”

“Sorry, the VM is broken.”

“live” didn’t make it onto the list, I see.

The first three Macs had this jack in the front for the keyboard and a PC-like serial port in the back for the mouse. With the Mac SE and II, the switched to ADB, which looked like a PS/2 port, but you could daisy chain your mouse, keyboard, and other inputs like tablets or joysticks all into one jack in the back of the computer.

In my day, the RJ-11 jack was for connecting the keyboard, not the phone line.

Early PC only had 5 card slots, and the only jack on the motherboard was the keyboard. One slot is going to be used by a video card, one’s probably being used by a hard drive controller, one’s probably used by a parallel + serial card. Soundcards also included controller ports to try to save a slot.

When “What idiot wrote this?” is replaced by “I should call my mom.”

The license plate on that car seems on-brand for Bond.

Most astronauts only go about 250 miles up, the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati. That said, Neil Armstrong got a lot further away from Ohio.

There’s a Saturn V on display at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, but the people who made that facility important were born in Germany, not Alabama.

If there was no cursor, where was the code he was typing being entered?

Vermont: A maple creeme (maple flavored, butterfat heavy, soft serve) and your choice of locally brewed beer. We’ve got a lot of craft breweries. I know Heady Topper has a cult following, but there are also other options.

Germany didn’t choose hydrogen because of its greater lifting capacity, they had to use it because the US was the only country at the time with industrial quantities of helium, and they weren’t exporting it. The Hindenburg was originally planed to use helium, but once the Zeppelin Company resigned themselves to having to use hydrogen, they added addition passenger staterooms to take advantage of the excess lift capacity.

Sea otters exhibit this behavior. They keep their favorite rock in their pouches and use them to crack open shellfish.

Activation fees certainly did.

You can probably add “website” to the list.

If they did so, they’d also require Zamboni drivers to do their circuits in the opposite direction, counterclockwise instead of clockwise. They like to drive along the boards on the driver’s side so they can tuck up against the wall gently & see just how close they’re getting.
