I have some neat history items mixed in this week.
- ASCII table and history (or, why does Ctrl+i insert a Tab in my terminal?) (via)
- As Flash dies a little more.
- Beginner Problems With TCP & The socket Module in Python. Linked cause it shows why MTU size matters. (via)
- My Top 20 Interactive Fiction, 2019 Edition. With links to play.
- Monsters and Manuals’ 1500th Anniversary: Half Time After the Time? Linked for the best-of links in the article; that’ll give you some reading.
- ‘A Humument’ is a completely novel project. A meaningless book, extrapolated into 300+ works of art. (via)
- Scanimate News. This was TV/computer graphics in the early 80s. (via)
- Deep dive into uber-obscure video game research. Linking to the summary; continue on if the thread is interesting.
- The Dirty Business of Hosting Hate Online. One of the reasons I don’t use Cloudflare.
- Level Design Patterns in 2D Games.
- disquiet.com. Lots and lots to listen to. (via)
- Looking inside a 1970s PROM chip that stores data in microscopic fuses.
- ASCII art RPG Stone Story launches into early access. I’m stretching it with the ‘roguelike’ tag here.
- Turning a MacBook into a Touchscreen with $1 of Hardware. (via)
Your unrelated music of the week: Blarf: Cease and Desist. (via)
Thank you for the link!

So why don’t you like Cloudflare?
Because they fired a customer for hosting hate speech?
The opposite, because they were hosting plenty of hate speech sites and fully aware of what they were doing. Plus other issues in that I think it’s a cop-out and a complexity layer for most use cases.
