Why is there a "small house" in IBM's Code page 437?

2 months ago | blog.glyphdrawing.club | Andy Baio

Note:This post is a companion piece to my article The origins of DEL (0x7F) and its Legacy in Amiga ASCII art. That article is all about the character DEL, what it is, how it was used, and why it even has a visual representation, but with a focus on Commodore's Amiga computers. Whereas AmigaOS's Topaz font renders DEL with diagonal lines, IBM's PC renders it... as a house. This bonus article is about that.
SNAKISTS

(Mobile and desktop)DescriptionTwenty ways to think about a snake! Is it an alarmist?! A nudist?! A conformist?! Crossing tasks off its checklist!? Or just doing the twist!? You get the gist!SNAKISTS is a direct sequel to SNAKISMS. I thought it would be pretty fun to take on the variations challenge with Snake one more time. The world of ists is a weirder and less philosophical world than the isms, and so are the games. Heist, typist, … onanist. You know you want to.

Questions I think people are gonna be asking frequently How do I save progress? You can't, sorry >w<. Do not close or refresh the tab, or you'll have to start from the beginning. I refreshed the page and now things seem weird? Firefox stores the state of input elements, you can press ctrl+shift+r to refresh without this behaviour. How can I share my website?
Infinite Mac OS X

Mar 24, 2025 | blog.persistent.info | Andy Baio

tl;dr: Infinite Mac can now run early Mac OS X, with 10.1 and 10.3 being the best supported versions. It’s not particularly snappy, but as someone who lived through that period, I can tell you that it wasn’t much better on real hardware. Infinite HD has also been rebuilt to have some notable indie software from that era. I’ve been tracking DingusPPC progress since my initial port and making the occasional contribution myself, with the hope of using it to run Mac OS X in Infinite Mac.
