First attempt to fit the Wordle word list in an Atari VCS non-bankswitched ROM
#!/bin/ruby
# I'm trying to figure out whether we could fit the Wordle dictionary in a 4K ROM with enough space
# to squeeze an non-bankswitched Atari 2600 game port.
#
# As a first study, this Ruby script compresses a list of word in a way that a simple CPU (6507)
# could decompress on-the-fly, even after some Huffman coding is applied. Not worried with the
# Huffman coding itself; just checking https://resources.nerdfirst.net/huffman.html; previous art of
# Huffman decompression (if we use it) - can be found at http://forum.6502.org/viewtopic.php?t=4642.

Sugestões para Brasileiros visitando Toronto

Sempre que alguém visita Toronto (em particular vindo do Brasil) a gente fica em dúvida sobre onde levar/recomendar.

O @djlebersilvestre compartilhou comigo uma lista de sugestões. Eu fiz alguns adendos e publiquei aqui. Sugestões são bem-vindas!

Locais / passeios

  • CN Tower (A visita vale a pena. O restaurante é um pouco caro - pelo preço tem opções melhores, mas é giratório)
  • Ripley's Aquarium
  • Real Sports Bar
  • Distillery District (falam que o restaurante Clooney é muito bom)
