I don’t know how NaytaData made it, but if I were doing it, I would do something like this:

• start with a “blank” un-coloured map of coastline and country borders
• put all the “capital” cities on the map
• make a temporary grid of points over the map and find the closest city for each point
• paint the map based on those temporary grid points

I would use a computer but the same steps would work with paper & pen.

Cheese with Japanese curry? Sounds pretty whacky, whatever shape it’s in.

Also there’s an elegant solution to keeping some rice visible out of the curry and it doesn’t involve any extra ingredients.

How often do you “catch” a delusion, and how does it feel once you notice?

Like, do you find yourself saying something like: “hold on, that person probably doesn’t actually want to harm me… that’s one of those delusions isn’t it?”

Just as easily from every angle? No slowdown at all, even for mirrored text?

That’s pretty cool, even if it is mostly useless.

What’s “soggy pastry” talking about?

Color codes will pass through pipes just like any other output.

In this case, your grep is being smarter than you want and actually parsing the incoming color codes itself.

You can try a simpler program like head, tail, or even sed -n /ii/p to see it for yourself.

You can also control GNU grep’s color processing with --color but you may not find exactly what you seek.

I wonder what they meant

Is it possible for a game to read two mice separately? Sure. It’s not common, but it’s possible.

The game “Lemmings” was ported everywhere in the early 1990s, but the original Amiga version supported two mice at the same time (two mice, two players, two cursors).

That’s a rare example of a game that designed in some support for two mice, and that support was specific to one platform.

Is it still true that posting a picture of your boarding pass on social media is enough to let strangers get your passport number and phone number from the Qantas website?
