"At this point, I'd like to take a moment to speak to you about the Adobe PSD format. PSD is not a good format. PSD is not even a bad format. Calling it such would be an insult to other bad formats, such as PCX or JPEG."

Inside Spacewar! — A Software Archeological Approach edit / delete
Extremely comprehensive study of the Spacewar code. I might describe this as a software graphological analysis rather than an archeological one, since one of the most interesting parts is the examination of different programmers' styles...

Home · esp8266/esp8266-wiki Wiki edit / delete
The ESP8266 is a very cheap microcontroller-onna-board with proper wireless networking and a TCP/IP stack. Most people seem to hook it up to another microcontroller, but you can run code on the ESP8266 itself; this site has cross-development tools and documentation. (Although it's only IPv4 at the moment, so it wouldn't be very useful for sensor apps on my home network as-is.)

Why I no longer contribute to StackOverflow — Michael T. Richter edit / delete
"There's an old cliché in English: give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime. StackOverflow is filled to the brim with people giving fishes. The people asking are learning nothing useful beyond the shortest of the short terms and the people teaching are not helping in any but the most trivial of ways." Yes. I haven't quite got to the point of telling students to ignore the StackOverflow forums -- but I do see an awful lot of bad advice that students have found there.

If I could read Japanese, this would be a very helpful reference for early PS2 Linux and PS2 Homebrew stuff. It's fairly useful even if you're just looking at screenshots and chasing links (because most of the things it links to are in English).
