A lot of this was picked up during the previous long U.S. holiday weekend.

• A Brief History of the ATM and As cash becomes quaint, are ATMs on path to obsolescence? (via)
• The evolution of the laptop computer.  Clickbaity and not comprehensive, but fun to look at the pictures.  (also via)
• A tip for catching process state changes.
• The Pacification of the Nerd.
• The forgotten joys of the screen saver.  (via, of course)
• Erdos-Bacon-Sabbath Numbers.  (via)
• Decalogue, by Jan Svankmajer.  Svankmajer’s movie “Lunacy” is the most disturbing? distressing? film I’ve ever watched.  (via)
• Speaking of which, Svankmajer was an influence on the Quay Brothers, whom I was talking about with someone else recently.  Surely you’ve seen Street of Crocodiles?
• userland xnr jit.
• open-adventure, the original, ported.  (via)
• Writing a Unix Shell.  (via)
• Compiler Optimizations are Awesome.
• Tron B-Roll.  Most evocative to those who remember computer graphics pre-texture-mapping.
