tea.xyz Spam Plagues npm and RubyGems Package Registries
Tea.xyz, a crypto project aimed at rewarding open source contributions, is once again facing backlash due to an influx of spam packages flooding public package registries.
Readme
Do you know why the crazy guy started a side project to feed another one?
No, you should ASCIM.
If you came here from memethesis-cli, go straight to section 'ASCIM Tables'.
pip install ascim
will do.
from ascim.ascim import ASCIM
im = ASCIM('''In ASCIM,
every character
is like
a pixel''')
im
is now an ASCIM object, with the following text (enclosed in rectangle*):
+-----------------+
0| In ASCIM, |
1| every character |
2| is like |
3| a pixel |
+-----------------+
Lines 0, 2, and 3, which are zero-indexed, are padded with spaces to their right so that they are all uniform in length with Line 1. An ASCIM object is treated as an image, so string methods no longer apply.
* but what is in this rectangle? We will cover this later on in section 'ASCIM Tables'.
An ASCIM Table is a container object of ASCIM Images. An ASCIM Image (or NoneType) can take up one cell in a table, just like in spreadsheets.
Code example:
from ascim.ascim import ASCIM
from ascim.table import ASCIMTable
table = ASCIMTable.from_text('<copy paste that table from below>')
print(table.cell_at(0, 0).to_text()) # => 'symbol'
print(table.size) # => (4, 7)
The textual representation for ASCIM Tables are designed to be both machine- and human-readable. Here is an example: (relevant xkcd)

A cell is an ASCIM object or NoneType stored in the ASCIMTable.
When printed, it is enclosed with +
and -
horizontally and
+
and |
vertically. NoneType denotes there is no content in the cell,
and is interpreted as an 1x1 ASCIM object when displayed.
On each side of the pipe (vertical bar; |
) that is a cell MUST
be a space. As illustrated:
+---+
|012|
|345|
|678|
+---+
In this rect-enclosed area, the "cell" only covers 1, 4, and 7. Locations 0, 3, 6, 2, 5, 8 MUST be a space. Locations 1 and 7 SHOULD NOT be a space. That said, only horizontal margins are necessary.
When a row is too wide or a column is too tall in the text to convert to an ASCIMTable, the excess columns/rows of spaces are cut off.
With ASCIMDraw you can make in-place modifications with an ASCIM Image. An ASCIMDraw object takes a (reference to) an ASCIM object as its argument.
Code example:
from ascim.ascim import ASCIM
from ascim.draw import ASCIMDraw
im = ASCIM.new((5, 5))
draw = ASCIMDraw(im)
draw.text((1, 2, 4, 2), 'oh nice') # text is wrapped in a 4x2 box
# `im` is modified in-place
print(im.to_text())
#
#
# oh
# nice
