Oskar Stålberg illustrates some of his work on Bad North. I love illustrations of software development through animation – captures the change-over-time aspect of code work.

This is a great set of posts on embedded software and, in particular, getting started with STM Cortex-based chips. Will be returning to this to read it through properly.

A Tumblr full of cutaways.

Latest OSXs only but: this does – with a nice template, and JSON options – what a pile of terrible Ruby I regularly update also does. I'd go with this over my terrible Ruby any day.

Nominally, this is about making your iOS apps smaller, but it's actually a great piece on how to think about software design and production.

How did I not know this? Definitely better errors for Rack apps. Will be using in future.

Somewhat annoying website. But: really impressive new Markdown app – its view/hide source mode is in some ways nicer than Macdown/Mou, and it has detailed support of the Markdown 'spec'. Going to keep trying this whilst it's in beta.

I've loved Alan Warburton's work for a while, but this is superb: a talk, and a film, and it made me laugh and it's really on-point and just this, yes.

Bloody marvellous: Aubrey dives deep on _precisely_ why strafejumping works, with references to the right bits of the Q3 sourcecode in github. I love this sort of videogame forensics combined with clear explanation.

"pv – Pipe Viewer – is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion." Looks very handy.

Another interesting set of Max tutorials – a little more advanced than beginner, but some interesting stuff for sure.
