The Dark Side of Open Source
At Node Congress, Socket CEO Feross Aboukhadijeh uncovers the darker aspects of open source, where applications that rely heavily on third-party dependencies can be exploited in supply chain attacks.

Readme
This module provides a <canvas>
object backed by node-canvas, with its
width
and height
properties automatically set to the proper size of the
terminal window.
The result is that you can use the HTML Canvas API to render directly to your terminal!
Install with npm
:
$ npm install ansi-canvas
var ac = require('ansi-canvas');
var canvas = ac();
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
// draw a purple background
context.fillStyle = 'purple';
context.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// write some text
context.fillStyle = '#00f';
context.font = 'italic 15px sans-serif';
context.textBaseline = 'top';
context.fillText ('Hello world!', 1, 1);
context.font = 'bold 20px sans-serif';
context.strokeText('Hello world!', 1, 21);
// IMPORTANT!!!
// call `canvas.render()` when you're ready to flush the canvas to the terminal
canvas.render();
Outputs something like:
And then you get really high resolution, and then you could do something crazy… like… render SNES directly in your Terminal!!!
(note: this is just an image. if you were to actually implement SNES in the Terminal at a reasonable framerate and resolution you'd be god-like, but please let me know if you do it!)
