Software

• A Craving for Calculation: computing history, 1965-1973; the first integrated circuits were ↑1 computers.
• Trojan Source Attacks: invisible source code attacks using Unicode.
• Monorepo - Our experience. A mono-repo has less friction; only make a separate repo when absolutely necessary.
• Dear Sir, You Have Built a Compiler. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it, poorly.
• On Typesetting Engines: A Programmer’s Perspective. The rabbit-hole goes so deep.

Terminals

• Command Line Interface Guidelines: long live the terminal. Thanks Eva Parish for putting such work into this!

• NO_COLOR: disabling ANSI color output by default: specifically this seems like a good proposal, a standard to get behind.

• rawtext.club: a lo-fi gemini/tildeverse pubnix community. Interview with the founder

• joan stark’s ASCII Art Gallery: a talented line ASCII artist. UNESCO heritage site, last updated June 2001.

Terminal Software

• ricott1/rebels-in-the-sky: P2P terminal game about spacepirates playing basketball across the galaxy. Cute pixel art (block ASCII art)
• ClementTsang/bottom: Cross-platform terminal graphics process/system monitor.

Software Community

• The Cult of Microsoft: against the Growth Mindset and the subtle dysfunction of megacorp kool-aid.
• Please just stop saying “just”. I’ve had this same rant for awhile now, and I think it should be a fifth social rule for the Recurse community.

Mewanty

• Jamcorder | Automatic Piano Recorder ($99). It’s surprisingly hard to just record a piano performance as MIDI, but this claims to do it (and the creator has put a lot of love into it).
• Bang! Out of Order: a simple party game, like Timeline but for scale.
