I really love that the source-extension icons are all different, and resemble the files contents - .c indentation, .h mostly linear, .s assembly instructions, ".o" bits

I agree but there is https://github.com/Dan-Q/ibiblio-icon-archive/tree/main/icon... and then you can put a . (or a .gif) in your OS search box

Wow, I remember when server side image maps were the only kind of image map!

#8When I was a kid I had a Geocities-style website hosted on hpg.com.br which was wholly composed of animated GIFs, mostly Pokemon-related.
Very unfortunate that archive.org doesn't have a copy of it.

Paul Graham's website uses image maps for the nav bar, it's the only place I can recall seeing them off the top of my head.

#10fun fact: source maps are used by some Tor onion sites ("dark net") as part of a captcha process without using JavaScript. If you present the user with an image, and ask them to click on a particular part of it, the server can recieve exactly where they clicked and validate if that's correct without using JS at all. (JS is a big no-no on Tor hidden network sites)
