Fun Fact: This same sort of thing also happened on the Classic Macintosh Quadra 840AV, when running in 8-bit (256 color) mode. Playback of realtime video capture reserved color index #243 (a very dark green in the system palette), and ANYWHERE that color was used, it would be replaced with the live video. I created some cool effects using this back in the 90s.

Oh my lord, your timing is perfect. I need this so badly right now. Congrats on the launch, and wow, thank you for making your MCP containers available separately!

From sindresorhus:

You can run the following to check if you have the malware in your dependency tree:

`rg -u --max-columns=80 _0x112fa8`

Requires ripgrep:

`brew install rg`

Sorry, I am unfamiliar with ripgrep. Is this simply scanning for the string `_0x112fa8`? Could we do the same thing with normal grep -r?

Title should really be "Cloud Hosting Horrors", not serverless per se.

Perhaps a better term would be “limited use open source”

The source is ajar.

Ha, super, thanks for making it.

Check out 431 columns - this yields no obvious persistent patterns.

You sure about that? I see some clear diagonal lines at 431 cols: https://imgur.com/a/rNKjTtr

I hope this is an appropriate place to ask.

Say I am eating well, exercising consistently, getting enough sleep.

For a male in his 40s, what are the best bang-for-the-buck ways to detect cancer before it becomes life-threatening?

cgijoe · a year ago
Talk to your doctor, and ask to be screened for all common cancers. A colonoscopy is in your future (I just had one). Also ask for a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test. Also look into the HPV vaccine.

Dark Castle, released on Macintosh in 1986, had ASDF movement and mouse for aiming.
cgijoe · a year ago
Err, ASDF? What did the "F" key do? I think it used WASD, and was probably one of the very first games that did. Screenshot: https://www.mobygames.com/game/110/dark-castle/screenshots/a...
