• Code Is Not Literature

  And Practical Common Lisp, another popular one on HN. The domain name took me by surprised and I struggled to remember why it seemed so familiar; it turns out that PCL can be found in its entirety here, and I had used it years ago to learn CL: https://gigamonkeys.com/book. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• C Isn't a Hangover; Rust Isn't a Hangover Cure

  The social media posts [0] and [1] seem to both point to the Medium article at [2].

• Got an old Raspberry Pi spare? Try RISC OS. It is, something else

  > Can we at least upgrade the fonts, colors, and negative space to make it look more 2020s? Ew. Please no. I hate 2020 OS design. It's flat and ugly and confusing.
