ASCII World Map Generated in 500 Bytes
Simon Willison highlighted a project by Iwo Kadziela, assisted by Codex, that generates a credible ASCII world map using only 445 bytes of data. The implementation uses a compact JavaScript snippet that loads base64 data via a data URI and decompresses it with a DecompressionStream using deflate-raw.
