The reality that Apple is actively anti-web is obscured somewhat by an influential set of aging web commentators who remember when it wasn't, and enjoy the privileges of living in the wealth bubble more than they care about junior devs and the web ecosystem they benefited from so much.

To the extent that they are failing to demand better browsers on their phones, that's a scandal:

This you, Kristi?

A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter). The top tweet is from user @covie_93 with the caption: “This tweet aged like Stephen Miller…..”. Below it is a tweet from Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) that reads: “If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights. Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too. South Dakota defends the Constitution.”

Ran across this gorgeous diagram (at left) of the cyclic execution schedule of the software used on Skylab (1970s). I love this way of thinking about cyclic execution, but I didn't realize anyone else used it!

At right, one of my (less pretty and much less hand-drawn) diagrams from an article I wrote on graphics demo architecture... 40 years later. (And ten years ago, gosh.)

In the replies below, I talk about the old ways of drafting, if you're curious.

A diagram labeled "16 K FLIGHT PROGRAM COMPUTATION CYCLE." It's a circle, divided into five sectors radially and six tracks around the circumference. Over the course of the cycle different patterns are shaded in, which map to a legend in the lower left distinguishing between I/O, telemetry, self-test, wait states, and two priorities of loop.
A circular diagram of operation timing and priority during a 26.4 µs VGA scanline. Priority levels of execution are represented as rings of increasing radius, so low-priority computation is on the inside, and "hops up" to higher priority levels as required.
