Abbreviated vs. Full-Word Identifier Names edit / delete
"We carried out a family of controlled experiments to investigate whether the use of abbreviated identifier names, with respect to full-word identifier names, affects fault fixing in C and Java source code. [...] Overall results suggested that there is no difference in terms of effort, effectiveness, and efficiency to fix faults, when source code contains either only abbreviated or only full-word identifier names."

C&C - An Explanation of Type Inference for ML/Haskell edit / delete

A really good description of Standard ML's module system (and OCaml, where it differs). I do like ML's modules, but wish the syntax and terminology was a bit friendlier...

Whizzo Software - SIO2Arduino edit / delete
"SIO2Arduino is an Atari 8-bit (800/XL/XE) device emulator that runs on the Arduino platform. It currently emulates a single Atari 1050 disk drive (D1:) but there are plans to extend it to support multiple drives as well as other devices." I've been meaning to build one of these for my Atari 800 for, oh, fifteen years now...

"In the beginning of 2018 Simon acquired the complete Amiga Floppy Disk collection of BS1 ( Bamiga Sector One ). They gathered this software +25 years ago swapping with other groups, by downloading, etcetera ... For all these years they sat on a member's attic waiting to see the daylight again and here they are."

Reverse-engineering Amiga hardware - for example, he's done a replacement PCB for damaged A1200s, and guides for upgrading various 68040 accelerator boards to 68060s. Very impressive!
