@aeva I'd say resurrect it with a Java applet, but I don't know if you can do those anymore either.
@klara you sorta can. here's one emulated in js I found the other month http://www.geoastro.de/SME/index.htm

@klara @aeva i seem to recall it being stated unequivocally many a time that the web platform is fully backwards compatible (hence why es6 let/const didn't actually solve the mysterious variable declaration semantics but just added new failure modes) but this would seem to contradict that perfect backwards compat?

@hipsterelectron @klara I feel like the web really let itself go since the aughts

@aeva Excellent. Now you just need to find a way to make it look like a flash animation and you'll be set.

@klara I was kinda thinking what if I could dig up an old copy of flash and some kind of flash to js translator or something, and then build a new website in flash...

@klara this thought is in direct competition with my desire to build my webpage in SDL and wasm it up

unclear if it was removed "for security", or if mozilla's new intern Claude simply broke it
@aeva it was deprecated 5y or more ago

The Engineering That Makes A Road Cat’s Eye Self-Cleaning
Although most people manage to navigate roads without major issues during the day, at night we become very reliant on the remaining navigational clues. The painted marks on the asphalt may not be as obvious in the glare of headlights, not to mention scuffed up and/or covered by snow and hidden by fog. This is where cat’s eyes are a great example of British ingenuity. A common sight in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, they use retroreflectors embedded in the road. Best of all, they are highly durable and self-cleaning, as [Mike Fernie] details in a recent video on these amazing devices.
Invented in the 1930s by [Percy Shaw], cat’s eyes feature a sturdy body that can take the abuse of being driven over by heavy trucks, along with a rubber dome that deforms to both protect the reflectors and wipe them clean using any water that’s pooled in the area below them. They also provide an auditory clue to the driver when they pass the center line, which can be very useful for night-time driving when attention may be slipping.
In the video the cat-squishing cleaning process is demonstrated using an old cat’s eyes unit that seems to have seen at least a few decades to road life, but still works and cleans up like a charm. Different color cat’s eyes are used to indicate different sections of the road, and modern designs include solar-powered LEDs as well as various sensors to monitor road conditions. Despite these innovations, it’s hard to beat the simplicity of [Percy]’s original design.

@atomicpoet how does it feel, though?

On top of not being able to drink booze, I’m now unable to eat beef or shellfish.
It’s like being religious while being completely irreligious. 😩
