techno-archaeology aux: I published a decoder for Installer VISE archives (mac installers from the 90s). it's a rust crate called unvise, MIT licensed: github.com/jpt/unvise some notes about the format at Archive Team's wiki: fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/Install... #macos #apple #decode #vise

I gave a talk at VCF West this past summer: a little about Sphere, a lot about the early history of floppy disks. Enjoy! youtu.be/NoXtIR_Edgk?...

three-text now has a separate rendering and layout core, with new adapters bringing hi def 3D text to #p5js joining the existing #threejs and #r3f pipeline, along with some new #webgpu and #webgl wrappers. more info: github.com/countertype/...

interesting research out of KAIST - automatic C to rust translation, focusing on last mile and correctness, outperforming LLMs. doing a naïve port from a language you don't know, even with tooling, it's always these last mile problems that take forever.. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
dl.acm.org
Automatically Translating C to Rust | Communications of the ACM
Legacy system programs developed in C have suffered from prevalent memory bugs. Migrating these systems to Rust is a promising way to enhance reliability, thanks to Rust’s strong safety guarantee. Due to the high cost of manual migration, automatic C-to-... Automatic C-to-Rust translation tools are helpful, but they produce unsafe and unidiomatic code. What can be done to address these issues?

the code for my new text rendering library is on NPM and github github.com/countertype/... - I think folks who fit the "creative technologist" profile or work on a team at an agency might have been missing this kind of 3D font tool for the web, or I hope so anyway

Shooting flowers at a favorite Eugene Debbs speech. Demo of Knuth-Plass justification (www.eprg.org/G53DOC/pdfs/...) on top of our new font-based text geometry coming soon to @threejs.org. Complex scripts like Arabic supported thanks to #HarfBuzz. Stay tuned!

the solution to my issue with #threejs shapes when text shaping OTF and TTF files with harfbuzz was to build a new kind of text geometry to use instead of shapes. adding knuth-plass linebreaking next :)

I'm working on a high quality text renderer for #threejs that can simply read a regular font via #harfbuzz (js/wasm version) instead of converting to SDF/facetype. and I'm finding that three.js shapes are very annoying. harfbuzz gives you a sequence of paths and winding directions - perfect...

If you listen to enough metal with songs names like “Masticated Inurnment of Dysphagiatic Soils” and “Realized Abolition of Ocular Faculae”, then they eventually send you a medical degree in the mail.

nervous and excited to be traveling to nancy and demoing a new italic assistant tool on the 21st. mostly looking forward to putting some faces to names I’ve known from the internet a long time! I hope to say hi, I’ll be there for the full program

another sabbath record on SNC (moscow, 1990) with alternate cover art. paranoid’s original font is a photo-type called bloop, but the record label would have designed their own cyrillic. designer uncredited #nowplaying #SNCrecords #Эс-Эн-СиРекордз #blacksabbath #БлэкСаббат

the black sabbath records on SNC all have such good album art. the text in Vol. 4 is originally set in a modified/de-ornamented version of Gadget Lined from Zipatone, but the Cyrillic takes it to another level. designer uncredited! #nowplaying #SNC #Эс-Эн-СиРекордз

I seem to know more people moving to bluesky than mastodon. I will keep using mastodon especially for typo.social. but I’ll give bluesky another try. my last skeet here mentioned enjoying how unhinged twitter has become, but since then it started loosening my own hinges. can’t keep drinking poison

Jeremy Tribby @tribby.com · 17/11/2023
is there a type bluesky or is everyone just on typo.social? I kind of enjoy how completely unhinged every aspect of twitter is right now, but today I found myself installing that “blue blocker” plugin and like.. what am I even doing
