Does the text output of your Fortran code look dull? Cheaply increase the value of your software and attract new users by restyling with these newfangled graphics primitives.
As seen on this Stanford CS Technical Report published in 1978.

@amoroso That scan is really messed up — it looks like a ransom note!

@amoroso Nice mention of SNOBOL for text processing on page 10 :)

@arclight After all there wasn't much else for text processing back then.

I recently looked at some pre-web scraping tool I wrote in Lisp in 1986, to extract real-time weather data.
It was... complicated.
I thought, "Sheesh. Coupla regexps & we coulda been outta here in 10 minutes, tops."
Sheepishness at your past efforts is a sign of progress.

@jens @cstross @jwz IIRC the WHATWG was created in 2004, but Chrome is from 2008. I think Google might have been putting pressure on Mozilla & Opera to push for the whole “web app” angle because of their forays into Gmail and Maps that started around that time. When Chrome was first released the WHATWG and the W3C had already been armwrestling on «who gets to decide what HTML is» for one or two years, and with Chrome entering the fray the W3C basically gave up.

@henryk no, USDC is reserve backed. the seller either decides to hold the USDC instead of the bitcoin, sell it for some other crypto asset, or redeem the USDC with Circle. it changes the seller’s portfolio, but USDC remains reserve-backed.
