Thank you :) So pleased you appreciate it, there's a surprising amount of time and energy spent in all that. And yes that was exactly my thought, the hacks could be useful for any number of reasons, not just broken screens in the Himal

Well I agree with your style preference, deployed.

Excellent suggestion, especially because it's cross-platform. Thanks, added and acknowledged on the post.

It certainly makes me appreciate my eyes.

Ha, blurry, but still recognisable.

Yes, perfect, thank you. Deployed.

Absolutely! Should have thought of that myself. Added to the blog post now. Thanks.

I just removed "maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no", is that better? TBH I would have just copied that from somewhere assuming it was best practice :/

I've known Andrew for a few years and what I love about this is how it reflects him as person: someone who loves bringing people together. Dependency CI seems to me to be a manifestation of that. Hopefully one effect of Dependency CI,

Which ones? Tinfoil doesn't seem to at the moment.

Wow, okay, that's good to know, another way around the Great Firewall. I will have to give NX a spin.

Had never heard of them, thanks. Do you have experience with them over connections that drop, eg; travelling on a train, or connections as low as 3kbps?

Hiptext supports this: https://github.com/jart/hiptext/blob/d50329e3b975ffac0209c0a... But it's crashing when I run in Alpine :/ I have hope because it works fine in my local Arch/ZSH env :)

The text only becomes legible at very high zoom levels. I needed to strike a balance when recording that GIF, so I didn't zoom in all the way.

OMG, no, it's not the same, you go even further with 4 colours per char!! https://github.com/blitzcode/term-gfx/blob/master/src/main.r...

Is that similar to this do you think? https://github.com/jart/hiptext/blob/d50329e3b975ffac0209c0a... Where `kUpperHalfBlock = L'\u2580'` Because Hiptext is already supporting it, but when I enable t

Wow, that world map looks really good. Good suggestion, thanks.

Oh, that textcam code isn't too complicated and you get a really good effect from it. I never even knew that there was true colour support in terminals, let alone how many terminals support it! Hmm, so I'd need to figure out if SS

Haha Wasn't expecting that, very cool! How did you do that? Have you some code somewhere? Thanks for the praise :) A big part of pushing forward with this was seeing the quality of @jart's hiptext[1] renderings, I find it creates

Forgot to put the word "interactive" in the title. Edit: didn't know you could edit the title after submission.

I'm not sure there's much than can be concluded by someone's ratio. I definitely wouldn't assume that someone who spent more time debugging was a "worse" programmer. There are certainly practices that reduce th

I'm sure more academic minds than mine have considered this, but yes, I totally agree, we are moving towards universal communication and culture and that has little to do with speaking the same language. I would argue that the Internet

Checking in, because I can't actually do it at work :/ Right now I feel like I can't share my feelings. That they are somehow an annoyance to my boss and some of my colleagues. I want to feel more like I'm part of a team

As is usually mentioned in reference to this, the same can be achieved on the command line with: `ssh user@yourserver.com -R [remoteport]:localhost:[localport]` Where 'yourserver.com' is a server you own, such that accessing &#x27

+1 for Blender. Easy to install, stable, intuitive and feature rich. I've tried a lot of free video editors and Blenders been the only one that I've actually achieved anything in.
