Dithering in Colour
Inspired by multiple posts on dithering, I set out to create a correct implementation of Atkinson dithering with support for RGB colour palettes. The post also outlines implementing linearising the colour-space and correcting for human perception.
PuTTY’s icon designs date from the late 1990s and early 2000s. They’ve never had a major stylistic redesign, but over the years, the icons have had to be re-rendered under various constraints, which made for a technical challenge as well.

Game Bub: open-source FPGA retro emulation handheld
I’m excited to announce the project I’ve been working on for the last year and a half: Game Bub, an open-source FPGA based retro emulation handheld, with support for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games.
Play Video:
Game Bub can play physical cartridges, as well as emulated cartridges using ROM files loaded from a microSD card. Game Bub also supports the Game Link Cable in both GB and GBA modes for multiplayer games. I designed the hardware with a number of bonus features, like video out (HDMI) via a custom dock, a rumble motor, real-time clock (for certain games). Additionally, the hardware is designed with extensibility in mind, allowing future software improvements to expand its capabilities.
NESFab is a new programming language for creating NES games. Designed with 8-bit limitations in mind, the language is more ergonomic to use than C, while also producing faster assembly code. It's easy to get started with, and has a useful set of libraries for making your first — or hundredth — NES game.

HTML Whitespace is Broken - Devel without a Cause
A deep dive into HTML whitespace collapsing: How it works, why it sucks, how it should work, and how to deal with it.
Restoring an oldish iMac 18,3 (mid-2017) that had been previously been running Windows 10 via Bootcamp for the last 8 years.
Some useful commands:
You can identify the serial number of the Mac from the recovery terminal (hold cmd+R while booting to get to recovery):
ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep Serial
To get hold of the most up to date recovery/installer that the machine supports (Ventura).
brew install python3 qemu
git clone [email protected]:DrDonk/recoveryOS.git
python3 recovery-vmdk.py
Don't bother with converting the dmg to a vmdk or anything, just write the dmg to a USB:
sudo /usr/sbin/asr restore --source ventura.dmg --target /Volumes/UNTITLED --erase -noverify
Boot the USB and then to reinstate the Fusion drive setup, (before starting the install)
diskutil resetFusion
Then install 🚀
This is great!

An analysis of the colors used in Mario game titles
Most Mario games with polygonal logos have a different color per letter, but the sequence of colors in Mario’s name is rarely the same sequence across games.
Some awesome fabrication on this custom DMG!
