My brother posts this every year in the family chat on the 4th. Still hilarious.

I love this type of re-enactment archeology that tests whether or not the historical descriptions of ancient warfare are accurate or embellished.

[Hei Wa Wa @yaqobhyndes]

This group of French researchers (Sur le champ) trained about 200 re-enactors to test the crowd dynamics of hoplite warfare and routing more generally. It's really interesting how the often frustratingly vague statements of ancient writers become clear with this footage

It gives game of thrones opening theme, which means that whomever composed that piece for HBO was mainlining hurdy-gurdy music as inspiration.

[Roy Rogers Happy Trails Music Shop  @RoyRogers_HTMS]

This original medieval-style dance piece is in G minor, with a chord progression that alternates between Gm and Cm, incorporating variations like Gm6 and Cm6 for that hypnotic flow.

Before DNS, the Internet ran on a single text file.

You wanted a hostname?

You emailed Elizabeth Feinler’s team at SRI. They edited their local HOSTS.TXT and then everyone downloaded the new copy!

That worked… until it didn’t.

By 1983, it was obvious this wouldn’t scale, so Paul Mockapetris created DNS: distributed, hierarchical, no single point of failure.

The modern Internet exists because we stopped relying on one file to keep it all straight!

docker was invented because a developer got tired of saying "it works on my machine" and decided to just ship his entire machine to production.
