I am all over the map this week.

• UNIX Tutorial for Beginners.  Also, UNIX Shell Scripting Tutorial.  (via)
• Staticapps.org, a explanation of single-page web applications.  The idea is good but the site itself is really just an ad for a service that does … single-page web application hosting.  Comments on the original link source may be more useful.
• The Lazy Newb Pack for Dwarf Fortress.  A good idea, but there’s actually a more recent Starter Pack.  (via)
• I link to Cyriak videos from time to time; here’s a documentary about him and his work.  (via scrubgenius)
• Yahoo breaks every mailing list in the world including the IETF’s.  (via)
• Star Trek 1971 Text Game.  Hey, I remember at least one of the variations of this!  (via)
• Untrusted, a roguelike-in-appearance game where you use Javascript to get through puzzles.  Warning: music.  (via)
• Now even Microsoft Windows has a package manager.  (via)
• Branching in code instead of in version control.  I suspect this is one of those ideas that sounds good but turns out to eventually require reinventing the original setup, like NoSQL.  (also via)
• “This is NOT real Git documentation!”  Frighteningly real.  (via)
• Heartbleed should bleed x.509 to death.  (also via)
• Dudley Buck’s Forgotten Cryotron Computer.  (via)
