I Want a Better Mac, So I'm Cheering for a Better Linux
(reviews.ofb.biz)
My recent column on Apple’s declining software quality hit a nerve. So why do any of us put up with software that grows increasingly buggy? One word: hardware.

How Big Is VMS? – VMS Software, Inc
(vmssoftware.com)
This question was asked during my Boot Camp presentation last fall in Boston, and over the past 35 years dozens of times people have asked, how big is VMS? That translates into "how many lines of code are in VMS"? I thought it was time to at least make a stab at pursuing some insight into the answer. I wrote some command procedures to count the number of source lines in .B32, .B64, .C, .MAR, .M64, and .S files.

The Algorithm Behind the Topological Sort Library TopoSort
(github.com/williamw520)
The algorithm used in TopoSort is a variant to the Kahn's algorithm in working on the nodes as sets instead of as individual nodes, with the additions on finding dependence-free subsets and finding cyclic nodes.

Game Engines with Source: Learning from the Best
(github.com/redorav)
As a game developer, I'm always intrigued by how other people do things and what solutions have been developed to some problem. As well as the big ones, many smaller engines are being worked on and I find myself downloading repositories, compiling, tinkering and marveling at what's available. This is a non-exhaustive list of game engines whose source code you can freely inspect, compile, run and learn from.

The Steam Deck is software-freedom friendly
(isomorphism.xyz)
The Steam Deck is a great gaming system. This isn’t because of it’s great battery life. A Nintendo Switch would probably have better battery life. It’s not because of its great performance. I don’t usually play AAA games, so I wouldn’t know. The Steam Deck is great because of the philosophy on which it is built.

Kerrick's Wager: On the Future of Manual Programming
(kerrick.blog)
It’s been a while since I’ve had a crisis of confidence. But tonight, I read Steve Yegge’s recent post, “Revenge of the Junior Developer.” In it, he lays out a vision of a future—only two years away—in which nobody writes code anymore. I felt a cocktail of anger, fear, worry, and disbelief. Then, I thought through the implications, and came up with a plan of action: Kerrick’s Wager.

AutoGDB: exploit a binary while sipping coffee
(autogdb.io)
AutoGDB's MCP works in a special way. It use a SaaS-ish way to establish client-server-client communication, in order for that to work, I did some reworking and tweaking on the original MCP SSE Protocols session pool (if you look closely, you can see the AutoGDB's MCP actually use SSE URL Paramter to connect). Which allows you to deploy AutoGDB in one GDB, and use it anywhere.
