If you want to get into fixed-width character art, I highly recommend doing it in the browser like OP did rather than trying to old school it in the terminal. I have done a little ascii[0] and unicode[1] graphics, and the browser is such a

Also had this issue. I have made a meta-task runner to make discovery and running of already defined make/just/task/npm/etc task targets easier called dela[0]. The ergonomics of running tasks are very similar to the arti

There are many ways of making wigglegrams. The first method is to capture multiple horizontally displaced shots together at once. There were cameras designed for this in the 80s that had 4 lenses, with the widest about eye width apart; the

Agree with you on outdated and upper bounds. However, if users are complaining about the interface being difficult, there is probably something there. Yes, it makes sense that `uv lock` commands only work the lock file, but users have real

Over on reddit and over here as well people seems to be reacting to the title of the video or the first 5 seconds or just the author. On the original x[1] post however, the top replies are about the subject matter, which is about having age

Yes, the angle above the horizon is usually what is most useful because it is used to find something small but visible. In the case of my ascii moon, the angle below the horizon, is there to explain why something is not visible. The Moon is

This is a fantastic discovery! Displaying azimuth in my ascii-side-of-the-moon [0] sounds useful, but then I would need to explain the symbol. I am displaying altitude/elevation below horizon, but there doesn't appear to be standa

Great work! While I was building ascii-side-of-the-moon [0][1] I briefly considered writing my own ascii renderer to capture differences in shade and shape of the Lunar Maria[2] better. Ended up just using chafa [3] with the hope of coming

If you want to get a single entry point into your repo's task, also consider my tool: dela[0]. It scans a variety of task file definitions like pyproject.toml, package.json, makefile, etc and makes them available on the cli via the bar

Thanks for fixing. Out of curiosity, what made you think your blog needs a warrant canary?

I have been excited about bun for about a year, and I thought that 2025 is going to be its breakout year. It is really surprising to me that it is not more popular. I scanned top 100k repos on GitHub, and for new repos in 2025, npm is 35 ti
