I spent a good chunk of this weekend at work for various reasons, so it’s a slightly less long list.  On the plus side, I know a bit more about setting up fiber links now.

• On the Design of Editors for Small Computers.  Pre-vi, pre-emacs.  (via)
• Rob Pike: Reflections on Window Systems.  Video.  (via)
• Writing a Simple Operating System – From Scratch.  PDF.  (via)
• tilde.club, an effort to resurrect the ~/username web page.  Wish I had got in. (via many places)
• The “Mark I“, (one of) the first programmable computers, designed in 1937.
• Cool-retro-term, another analog terminal simulator.  (via)
• A progress update on the Novena computer, with significant manufacturing detail.
• An interesting paper on Alan Turing. (PDF)
• disk seeks are slow don’t do them.  SQLite internals.  (via)
• BadUSB, which naturally leads to USB Condom.
