Every once in a while, b0rk (Julia Evans, of [Wayback/Archive] wizard zines fame) asks interesting questions like below that results in lot of cool links.
I have blogged assemblies of them before (see for instance Lots of interesting git links via b0rk on Twitter) and this one is no different:
[Wayback/Archive] Julia Evans on Twitter: “what are some helpful programming learning games? thinking of things like mystery.knightlab.com for SQL, and flexboxfroggy.com, and ohmygit.org especially interested in games that have helped you learn something”
The response was overwhelmingly good (I tried to indicate when games are not free or not playable from a web browser). I summarised it below.

I like the featured snipped [WayBack] css color names – Google Search

It points to [WayBack] Quackit: CSS Color Codes which has the below nice table (a few duplicates could be stripped, but the ordering and layout is great!)
Since then, I also found these very interesting pages on web colors that are also useful in any software development environment:

Based on [Wayback/Archive] javascript – how to refresh an iframe automatically – Stack Overflow and help from [Archive] Roderick Gadellaa (@RGadellaa) / Twitter, I used this JavaScript code right after the body in the html page to reload part of the iframes every 3 minutes and another part every 3 hours:
<script>
var iframes3minuteInterval = setInterval( () => {
const ids3minutes = [ 'agenda_iframe', 'month_iframe' ];
ids3minutes.forEach( id => {
element = document.getElementById( id );
element.src = element.src;
});
}, 1000 * 60 * 3);
var iframes3hourInterval = setInterval( () => {
const ids3hours = [ 'weerplaza_nederland_iframe', 'weerplaza_radar_iframe', 'buienradar_iframe' ];
ids3hours.forEach( id => {
element = document.getElementById( id );
element.src = element.src;
});
}, 1000 * 60 * 60 * 3);
</script>
The iframes are widgets for:
This was to workaround GitLab pages on a custom domain are nice, but be aware of intermittent 502 and certificate errors. Now the page only gets loaded once, and the widgets at intervals that are needed.

A long time ago, I found out that by default, you could only format td elements in HTML tables: somehow doing that with just tr failed, and I never understood why.
Since I wasn’t doing a lot of html stuff back then, I just lived with the few occurrences and moved on.
A while ago, I needed html tables again, and – since WordPress.com hosted blogs do not allow CSS style sheets – I had to use inline style attributes. That would bloat many td elements, so I did a [Wayback/Archive.is] html table border below row – Google Search, where the first few hits – all on StackOverflow – tremendously helped my to understand why this was the case and how to fix it:
