Wouldn't this same effect also lead to more potential hurricanes in the Isles as oceans continue to warm? I'm thinking something like Acapulco where Hurricane Otis rapidly progressed from a mild storm to a Cat 5 hurricane due to warm waters.

Strangely, though, the UK hasn't had too many hurricanes in its history, which is why I'm curious.

Edit: I may have answered my own question. Even with a higher likelihood of storms, I think the mountainous and hilly topography makes it hard for storms to really hit the UK, which might be why there have been few hurricanes in the past.

That's too fancy. I think you mean <center>...</center>

You're not supposed to run it on the same device. You're supposed to run it from a server and SSH into it to save power on the client device.

The layout and font gives off a more early 2000s vibe than a 90s vibe for sure, or, more accurately, "early 2000s with 90s leftovers." The average Neocities page uses more serif fonts, basic table layouts. Also computers in the 90s weren't going to be able to handle that rain effect, smooth scrolling marquees.

Stares at C/C++

Somehow, they've managed to make the graphics worse...

Came here to say this. As soon as I saw the first example on the linked web page, I immediately thought of C++. Reinventing the wheel.

The Computer Language Benchmarks Game has C++ outperforming Rust by around 10% for most benchmarks. Binary trees is 13% faster in C++, and it's not the best C++ binary tree implementation I've seen. k-nucleotide is 32% faster in C++. Rust wins on a few benchmarks like regex-redux, which is a pointless benchmark as they're both just benchmarking the PCRE2 C library, so it's really a C benchmark.

I was going to ask how much you actually program in C++, but I found a past comment of yours:

> I frankly don't understand C++ well enough to fully judge about all of this

Yes, all 48 of them.
