I have an excellent mix of links this week, I think. I like to have multiple links on multiple topics.
- Xenix 1.0, stuck on the 286. The second operating system licensed from Microsoft by IBM, and it was a type of Unix. (via)
- 50 Years of Moog. (via)
- Uselessd. (via)
- The End of Linux. (via)
- Revitalizing the Perl Power Tools. AKA the Unix Revitalization Project. It’s possible to contribute; this is something I’d like to see modernized. (via)
- Culture Stories: Introduction and Milk. I like the “I gave stuff away and eventually everyone did” part of the story. (via)
- mdp, a Markdown-based presentation maker. I like the concept and the animated gif used to demonstrate it.
- Remarkable, a Markdown editor with a WYSIWYD (what you see is what you did) component. Does it run on BSD? Dunno. Markdown is one of those deceptively good ideas that’s becoming accepted in part because it’s unowned.
- Edit: A Relaxing Mix of Vi and Acme. This is going to be the exact blend someone wanted and didn’t know it. (via)
- From Vim to Emacs+Evil chaotic migration guide. It’d be better as “Chaotic Evil”. You know what I’m alluding to, nerd. (via)
- Miss a Payment? Good Luck Moving That Car. Is building Faraday cages for your own things going to be a lucrative business 5 years from now? (via)
- Forth Salon. (via)
- The Craft of Text Editing. (via)
- Programming Sucks. (seen many places but this time via)
- Current Status: (via)
As long as it’s not chaotic neutral I don’t care.
Sadly, remarkable doesn’t seem open-source, the website provides only linux packages.
