@hankgreen.bsky.social Hi! I don't know if you take questions like this, but your YT short "Could we use a giant mirror to see dinosaurs?" motivated me to ask: could some lens in space relativistically fast-forward the light it refracts toward us, so we'd observe stuff at different timescales? ⏩🌌

#theWorkshop I'm really proud of how this came out— a 32x32x32 RGB color cube, converted to 8x8 classic Mac PixPats, at 5 bit depths, first in grayscale and then in color. It's a sample of the output of MakeRGBPat, and it'll make an appearance in my research project 🤓 rezmason.net/retrospectrum 🌈

I've found an ancient predecessor from '89 called "KnowsPICT" by Jon Zap, hahaha ew 😆
A screenshot from Mac OS 9 with three windows open: the front window has a black background, a "COLLECTCOLORS" color table on the left side, a patchy nine-color drawing in the middle, and a nine-color "GETPICTINFO" color table on the right side; the back window is a project window from MetroWorks CodeWarrior; and the middle window shows an open C file with the following comment:

Apple Macintosh Developer Technical Support
KnowsPICT  by Jon Zap
CLUTBuilder.c	-	C Source
Copyright © 1989 Apple Computer, Inc. All rights reserved.

this file contains functions used to pull colors from a PICT.  You activate it by calling CollectColors(PicHandle) with PicHandle set to a PICT that you have already loaded into memory.  It will almost invariably return a (handle to a) color table (that contains at least black and white) however the color table is not at all clean in the current implementation.  It is probably ok if you run it through NewPalette.  If it runs across a direct pixmap it won't bomb but it won't add any colors to the color table.

I re-made Glider some years back for MacOS/iOS. It broke at some point (perhaps an Apple change for Retina displays?) so I pulled it from the App Store. (Claude looked at the code—found some minor coordinate issues. Thanks!) Glider Classic for MacOS is back on. apps.apple.com/us/app/glide...

Somewhat unrelated: when you reveal the true Chicago font on the iPod screen in Defense of an Old Pixel, you use a beautiful transition. youtu.be/SDI8ubVZi7w?... Was this a Blender animation, or an AfterEffects composition, or something you built on WebGL or SceneKit, or what? 🤩

Maybe it's a subtle allegory that our fate is in our hands, but is just computationally expensive, so we can rarely fully comprehend it 🎈

It's hard to put to words, but one thing I really like about Fortune's Foundation is those endgames where winning is guaranteed but you get to choose which tarot card you're dealt as a fortune. Since it's a "perfect information" game, this property technically exists at the *start* of those rounds.

Wild, this looks like a toy I made to visualize old Mac inverse color tables! rezmason.net/retrospectru... This is literally how old Macs decided to map colors to indices in a palette: by simultaneously flood-filling a small cube with the palette entries till every cell has a corresponding index.

@guykawasaki.bsky.social Since Apple turns 50 this year, I went looking for a graphic that symbolizes what I always liked about Apple and the Mac, without implying I condone anything I dislike about them. I found the EvangeList logo from before 2000. Yep, that'll work! 🤩 rezmason.net/evangelist.svg
An upscaled version of the EvangeList icon from ~1999, which is a hand holding a lightning bolt in front of a flag of the six colors of the 1990s-era Apple logo.

I think the martial arts they download can train their brains but not their bodies. But that's a huge advantage. I also think that Morpheus, Trinity and Neo aren't built different. The reason humans can be batteries is, we all have enormous potential we never realize, but the Matrix can exploit. 💪

For the first twenty minutes I actually thought it was a landscape.

I've never seen this "Performa" control panel it can install, but what a neat idea for an icon. 🎈

- "Check the features that you Want to use", with check boxes for "Finder Hiding", "Launcher open at Startup", "System Folder Protection", and "Applications Folder Protection"
- "Choose a document saving option", with radio buttons for "Default to folder with application", "Default to Documents Folder", and "Default to last folder used"

Ah— locally adding "crossorigin" back to the link tag and changing its href to the newer CSS asset *also* addresses the issue 👍

Cmd + Shift + R doesn't seem to fix it, but so far the aforementioned local override consistently does

Locally overriding the page in Chrome dev tools and removing this "crossorigin" property from the CSS link tag in the page head resolves the issue on my computer; I'm beyond the boundary of my know-what-I'm-talking-about, but I get to visit your project now 😁

Cool, I get to learn something new today 😃 When I copy the request as a cURL call from the Chrome web inspector, the cURL call responds with the page HTML; removing the "origin" argument from the request responds with the CSS. On my phone with WiFi off, the FireFox loads the CSS but Chrome fails 🪲🔍

Also at the moment the CSS fails to load supposedly due to a MIME type error but I'm guessing that you're redeploying this project frequently and in real time so don't sweat it 😀 You're making something beautiful, keep it up
A browser page with https://okpalette.color.pizza loaded with the CSS not working. The web inspector's console says, "Refused to apply style from 'https://okpalette.color.pizza/assets/main-BDjPr846.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled."

I've misplaced the issue, but I recently found an Editor's Note in an ancient Mac magazine (from the B&W era) that detailed how to make a color image with monochrome bitmaps, by associating a different bitmap with each CMY color ribbon in an ImageWriter II. The example image was unique but familiar.
