Thank you :)

Oh, interesting, I never tried it on Windows. What doesn't work? Everything!? Can you make an Github Issue for it?

by tombh 9y ago
I've thought about it a little, it seems really hard. But that's a really interesting idea you have there. Are there any docs or blog posts or something you can point me to?

The TTY "graphics" rendering is actually relatively trivial, it's really just a few lines of JS in my rewrite now. So there's no need for an external rendering lib. Also with the new approach, I'm focussing on real

Thanks for trying. Yes the iTerm keybindings are a known problem. Like I said, I've completely rewritten Texttop from scratch - it's now merely a lightweight Go binary (to receive a websocket and print to STDOUT) and a webextensio

Oh! Sorry I just assumed they weren't around then. That's really interesting to know. Hey could I have a chat with somewhere, IM, or something? Would be really good to hear your story with this.

Ah yes, that was a big hurdle, but that's actually fully supported now with DOM Ranges - basically codified selection boxes, those regions that highlight when you select with a mouse. There's still some extra leg work though to re

I did look into that, but it's not as widely supported as the UTF8 half-block.

Waat! We need to talk - I'm taking a very similar approach in my rewrite. There are some very interesting algorithm problems. Eg; I'm actually comparing pixels in 2 screenshots --with and without text rendered--, in order to get t

Thanks. Fixed.

I'm actually in the middle of a complete rewrite (I was hoping to stay under the radar until then). I'm ditching X11 and ffmpeg and actually rendering real text as a layer over the TTY blocks. See: https://github.com&#x

I certainly think you can get close with video. But one of the things about this method is that I wanted it to be as universal and as accessible as possible. As in: accessing a fully modern JS-enabled browser over just an SSH client.

Author here. Surprised to see this here as I've been literally spending the last 2 weeks on a complete rewrite from scratch that actually layers REAL text over the blocks. You can get an idea of my approach with this function: https:&

I made a Vim plugin to use 'normal' sublime/atom-like keybindings: https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode I have an almost identical setup as that described in this post. Being in the terminal and integrati

I always mention https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode when this topic of 'normal' terminal-based editors come up. I very much agree with the sentiment of Micro here - I'm very much of the Sublime/Ato

Diversity! Not mutation. Thanks for clearing that up. I'd edit my original comment if I still could.

I'm not an expert, so just guessing, but I imagine it's something similar to the whole Arian stuff from the Nazis, ie: "look, our genes are more closely related to the most 'original' and 'pure' human line

A lot of the Multi-regional stuff I learnt is from the University of California Youtube channel. There's a playlist here, it's quite big, but a lot of relevant videos are in there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v

Coincidently I've been reading and youtubing about human evolution recently. If anyone's interested here are some bullet point facts that may surprise other laymen. * In the last few years the Out Of Africa theory (modern humans o

How do I get autocompletion, linting, gitgutter, and so on in Nano? Emacs is another great editor for sure, but slightly heavier weight than Vim, so I've just invested in that. There is no other editor that even comes close to being as

Yes, but it doesn't exactly have 'conventional' shortcuts either, right? It's a little more heavyweight over Vim as well. So in the light-but-powerful editor universe, I think Vim just pips it to the post. Which is why I

That was the part of the sentiment of the quote - the point is that Vim is notable for 2 distinct, but unfortunately inseparable, reasons; 1. Modal editing. 2. One of the most ubiquitous, lightweight, stable and extensible editors in exis

I think it's clear that this is purely political. If the government truly had sexual health in mind then blatant sexualised advertising on the streets would be part of the conversation.

Just thinking out loud here. If the speed of light is absolute (it's not relative right? it doesn't change in any reference frame?), then could the speed of light be considered the base axis, or to continue the metaphor in the par
