Counterpoint: winamp was strictly more fun than any other audio software

And all those Delphi programs (ok rn I can only think of the crackz but there must have been others).

What made these Delphi programs so unique in their UIs?


Delphi shipped with its own, pretty complete, library of UI components.

Personal question: are you a bot?


Ah, so a propagandist with a predefined narrative.

It's just that your account is very new and you have exactly one opinion and it's dumb

This feels like the "technically it's hebephilia" argument in that drawing the distinction just makes your argument weaker for regular people.

Did you mean the Lone Pine?

You space bastard! You killed my pine!

I always stop to ask myself, "but did I?" Usually I haven't, and that takes the edge off for me


AR-15


I know this wasn't your point (and I agree with you here), but I heard the exact same thing, word for word, when the Catholic priest was just breaking.


I've had trouble reading these from more than a few feet away, but I concede that I have no idea what I'm doing


Let's agree to disagree


lol

Let's go a step further and just iterate through them on the client. I plan on having this phone well past the heat death of the universe, so this is guaranteed to finish on my hardware.

  function* uuidIterator() {
   const bytes = new Uint8Array(16); 
   while (true) {
     yield formatUUID(bytes);

     let carry = 1;
     for (let i = 15; i >= 0 && carry; i--) {
       const sum = bytes[i] + carry;
       bytes[i] = sum & 0xff;
       carry = sum > 0xff ? 1 : 0;
     }
 
     if (carry) return;
   }
 }
 
 function formatUUID(b) {
   const hex = [...b].map(x => x.toString(16).padStart(2, "0"));
   return (
     hex.slice(0, 4).join("") + "-" +
     hex.slice(4, 6).join("") + "-" +
     hex.slice(6, 8).join("") + "-" +
     hex.slice(8, 10).join("") + "-" +
     hex.slice(10, 16).join("")
   );
 }
This is free. Feel free to use it in production.
