"The theft-prevention system installed in Seattle rental cars by a car-sharing company was designed to prevent cars being towed away by thieves. It disabled the cars remotely if they were detected to be moving with the engine off. Renters taking the boat ferry found themselves unable to restart their cars when the ferry docked. An anti-theft system in a car caused major delays to a regional ferry system" https://www.ft.com/content/178ab808-21ff-4ac2-a81f-f831326c22d4

Sufficiently Advanced Bodging™ is indistinguishable from having used the correct pinout.

I hate it how transit apps will have a mode that lets you say you're about to get on a bus and then tracks your trip but if you're already on the bus and you just want it to estimate when you'll get there this is always awkward or impossible in the UI

Oh wow... This is something special! I found an early pre-release version of "Castle of the Winds" .. v0.5.4. This was apparently released exclusively for Microsoft employees back in the day.

I think it's an awesome collector's piece! My gratitude goes to "iamxray" for his generous upload.

Here's where I found it:

Interesting new dyslexic friendly font - https://www.oliviaking.com/inclusive-sans

finally seems that font designers are actually talking (and listening) to dyslexics about what makes a font hard to read.

'Why Doesn't Everyone See the Importance of Preserving Our Past?' by Warren Spector https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/game-preservation

so I just realized I did a sizable project and never posted about it publically

last year I spent a few months on and off reverse engineering Pinball Fantasies (a 1992 video game; originally for Amiga, though I was reversing the more polished DOS port) with the intent of doing a game engine recreation, and then rewrote the logic as a Rust program

you can grab the result here: https://github.com/wanda-phi/pfr/ ; if you're interested in the internals of a 1992 DOS game written by demoscene people, I wrote down some (rather incomplete) notes here: https://github.com/wanda-phi/pfr/blob/main/TECH.md

I'd also like to thank @domi for porting this thing to browser environment with WASM, and hosting the result: https://pfr.sakamoto.pl/

enjoy!

hey, it's May day and while we're not yet in a mayday situation, we are asking for your help.

As you may know, MAL is part of the University of Colorado but generally a lot of our funding has come from external donors, and that has contributed to our ability to operate with a little more freedom, do weirder things, be more open and accessible to the general public than most university stuff. but, as these things go, a lot of those donors are shifting their priorities or scaling back.

we want to be able to continue being a resource in the way we have become accustomed to - maintaining our collection in working order as much as possible, offering these tools to artists and scholars and students and the general public, and doing our level best to be as weird as possible about it.

so, while we're looking at grants and other funding modes that we can shift to, we are also asking you all: does your workplace have a philanthropic fund? do you or someone you know have the means to make recurring donations? please consider asking them to contribute to our support fund, or doing so yourself:
