ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, git grep, ucg, pt, sift} - Andrew Gallant's Blog edit / delete

Accidentally Quadratic edit / delete
"I started this blog because over my career so far as a software engineer, I’ve kept personally running into software that was slow, and wondering why. And when I had time to point a profiler at them and debug the slowness, I would very often discover quadratic behavior, which could usually be drastically improved to linear, with just a little work."

RC2014 - Homebrew Z80 Computer edit / delete
"RC2014 is a simple 8 bit Z80 based modular computer running Microsoft BASIC. It is inspired by the home built computers of the late 70s and computer revolution of the early 80s." The modular approach is pretty neat.

Sinclair Radionics - an inside view edit / delete
"I worked for Sinclair Radionics for the above period, being the second engineer employed by Clive. The first was Jim Westood. These are some recollections, both technical and anecdotal, and data from that period." i.e. this is Sinclair in their pre-digital period -- hifi amplifiers and the like.
