Open source, experimental, and tiny tools roundup
This is a list of small, free, or experimental tools that might be useful in building your game / website / interactive project. Although I’ve included ‘standards’, this list has a focus on artful tools and toys that are as fun to use as they are functional.

A hyperlinked, marked-up version of the source code of the first Lisp implementation, LISP 1.5 for the IBM 704/709/7090/7094 computers. The code is ultimately derived from a 1961 listing of the system, whose text has been reconstructed by some intrepid retrocomputerists (Pascal Bourguignon, Rich Cornwell, and Bob Abeles)

… one of the recent Tidy Tuesday data sets is related to Dungeons & Dragons, which I used to play when I was a teenager, and my children are pestering me to play again now that they’re old enough to get into it. So I decided to play around with this data set as part of a totally unrelated side project (for a different post!)

mentioned in the article: What if Marvel was real (I don't listen to podcasts, but this one seems original and fun)
“What would it be like to live through the original Marvel Universe as it was happening”. The hosts speak in modern vernacular, but otherwise live in the world of the early Silver Age of Marvel Comics. The first episode takes place in November 1961. The Thing and the Human Torch have just been spotted in the city, but no one knows who or what they are.

That’s the risk of handbooks: though they pretend otherwise, they’re just as fantastical as fiction. They imagine perfect commitment, ample resources, and cooperative circumstances that just aren’t common in the world.
- The critical window of shadow libraries
At Anna’s Archive, we are often asked how we can claim to preserve our collections in perpetuity, when the total size is already approaching 1 Petabyte (1000 TB), and is still growing. In this article we’ll look at our philosophy, and see why the next decade is critical for our mission of preserving humanity’s knowledge and culture.

In this series of blog posts I'd like to go through some of the well known design patterns and make a comparison between the implementation in Scala and Common Lisp. Scala is a statically typed, multi-paradigm language running on the Java Virtual Machine. Common Lisp is a dynamically typed, multi-paradigm language running natively on many platforms.

Luhmann was famous for his extensive use of the "slip box" or Zettelkasten note-taking method. He built up a zettelkasten of some 90,000 index cards for his research, and credited it with making his extraordinarily prolific writing possible. It was digitized and made available online in 2019

One of the main motivations on writing such a list is that if you search online for bikepacking gear tips most of the times you find accurate descriptions of the gear used by ultra endurance bikepacking riders in epic self supported races like the Transcontinental race or the Silk Road race. These gear tips may be useful in general, but you need to keep in mind that the main goal of those riders is to win the race: their gears are very minimalist, ultra lightweight, and comfort is not the main priority. The main goal is to cover the most amount of km in the least amount of time, resulting in often sleep deprived nights of riding. If you’re travelling for fun, you’ll cover the same amount of km in much more time (often 3/4 times what those guys take), and probably comfort is one of the top priority. This results in different needs and different trade-offs regarding the gear you’re willing to carry.
