And the reality is that a majority of Americans have probably never seen one unless they've gone abroad. With a handful of exceptions where a local traffic planner fell in love with them, they just don't exist here. My TomTom likes to call the one traffic circle nearish to where I live a rotary; but it's a completely different animal than a roundabout (it's squarish with entrances/exits on the flat sides and controlled by stop signs).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Because I can[^], and because I think it's funny and sad enough to share with the broader community that doesn't venture over to the W&W too often.

I vote we all move back to BASIC... And not that newfangled Visual Basic, or even that sorta-newfangled QBasic... I'm talking BASIC, with line numbers... Atari BASIC, GW BASIC, IBM BASIC... Whichever one you want, but it has to have line numbers and GOTO.
I'm going to be the first geek to write an Android app in Atari BASIC!
10 print "Hello, Android!"
20 goto 10
30 ???
40 Profit!

I have Turbo BASIC V1.0 . The version of VAX BASIC I have is too new and allows line numbers or labels (but not both in the same file).

I don't actually have a working version of BASIC, but I think I still have a piece of the keyboard from my old Atari 800XL...
I mean, if a four-year-old could learn BASIC on that thing, I think these (presumably older) people in Q&A can do it too.

Not having seen the word before I googled progess. It seems to be in common use although the meaning is obscure.

I think it is progress anyway - because today you can choose RDB or Document base, scripting or compiled, client or server, desktop or mobile...

That's a good point. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of experience (aka skill) to make good choices. That doesn't mean the choices are bad, it's more that I keep witnessing people making choices without careful consideration. I was recently sitting in on a group of young programmers who had a really neat idea and they all jumped on the "let's use a NoSQL database!" idea without any consideration for the implications of their decision. They hadn't even fully fleshed out the concept, and they were choosing an implementation strategy! Argh.

Hi looking for a solution where I have a php page, export.php, that has a form where a user can click, which opens exportdo.php, exportdo.php opens and runs the csv export and the file downloads. What I am looking for is how to refresh export.php, after the CSV file downloads, so I can post an export success message to the user.

Keep looking.

I haven't tried any, because I'm at work, but figured I'd share the find. Hopefully Leslie Nielsen hasn't already.
