Rickroll Hidden In Load Handler

Description

A dark-themed code editor screenshot shows JavaScript with line numbers. The code defines `function load() {` and inside it has two comments: `// who made this program?` and `// https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ`, then closes the function and registers `window.addEventListener("load", load, false);`. The caption asks "Guess where this links leads to," and the YouTube ID is the well-known Rick Astley rickroll link, making the hidden comment a developer-flavored internet prank embedded in otherwise ordinary browser event code.

  I think that these approximations to pi are good enough to be used instead of real value sqrt(10) or sqrt(9.9) cbrt(30) sqrt(g) 22/7 3

  If it's September then rotate the calendar.
  
  @sylfn 4y
  
  it's 9th month, November
  
  @QutePoet 4y
  
  However, please rotate the calendar!
  
  @rezinno 4y
  
  Maybe "flip the calendar over" or "turn it upside down"? You are asking the guy покрутить the calendar
  
  @freeapp2014 4y
  
  It’s more like повернуть
  
  @rezinno 4y
  
  You turn a page, but not rotate a page. Same here, obviously
  
  @sylfn 4y
  
  "go to next page"
