umbraroze , 10 days ago to programmer_humor in HTML with Excel

Flashback to my first job. Coworker designed a giant complex web app with bazillion UI messages. Another coworker (in the Management) sent me the UI messages. As an Excel file.

I was tasked to manually convert the messages to a PHP data structure of some description (because this was 2002 and Excel files didn’t exactly lend themselves to scripting in Linux). Surprisingly, the management person did acknowledge my complaint that the conversion process was far more painful than necessary. Not that this helped, because soon after the startup got acquired and as far as I know the tech currently only exists in conceptual level in some big corporate vault or other.

Save as csv and then import?

This was so long ago that I can’t actually remember the actual reason why things had to be done by hand. Part of it may have been a conversion snag, but there were probably some other reasons why it wasn’t as simple as writing a script to do the job. Because I distinctly remember I wrote some scripts to help with other data conversion jobs.

Some ways to try to revert it (some have already been mentioned)

👉 Go to this page and check if you’re able to opt out of the “Redesigned Watch Page” (source)

👉 Install a userscript addon like Violentmonkey, and then use a script like Classic Youtube Layout (which is based on this script which was outdated in regards to the related videos sidebar)

• If you get an error about the @match line of the script then click on allow edits and change it from *.youtube.com/* to *://*.youtube.com/*, or install the script as it is and then put *://*.youtube.com/* in the “@match rules” line in the settings tab of the script
• There’s also this script that you would need to add its code manually to the userscript addon by clicking on the new script icon (see the author’s post for more details)

👉 Use uBlock Origin filters like these or these

• Note that youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.kevlar_watch_grid, false) should be enough to change the UI back for the most part

👉 Use this userscript and Stylus style

👉 The addon Enhancer for YouTube (Firefox / Chrome) also reverts the UI, at least partially

👉 (might only work some times) Use the addon CustomTube - Firefox / Chrome (the default UI is from 2017 but you can choose 2021 in the settings. It’s not exactly like the one from 2023 but it’s close enough)

• note that it removes some buttons like Join by default so go over the settings if relevant

---

If you also want to change the number of videos per row in the subscription page and channels’ videos page, then you can add this uBlock Origin code to the “My filters” tab (at the end click “Apply changes”, or Ctrl+S) (this is for 6 items per row but you can change the number in the first 2 line as needed) (source 1 / source 2)

I don’t see the black square bottom right? There is one bottom left.

All thanks to an early Minecraft bug that made the mob silent by accident… and they just rolled with it (and iirc, texture was bugged too).

Wizard_Pope , 10 days ago

Not the texture but the model.

As well as the proportions being flipped, resulting in the now iconic look. IIRC it was supposed to be a pig initially.

My layout didn’t change… maybe because I use my piped :D
