inkelinks S01E01

Welcome to the first episode of inkelinks! I hope the title is clear, but in case it doesn’t: this is a collection of links that I’ve found useful, fun, or interesting. I’m planning on releasing a new episode weekly on Fridays at around 14:00 UTC.

Links

• Just a bunch of git stuff
  I use Git extensively, and I’m quite aware of many of its internals and obscure commands, yet there’s always more things to learn.
• Essays on programming I think about a lot
  Over time I found many of the linked essays individually, so it’s nice to have them all in one place. Highly recommended!
• Coding Fonts
  I’m looking for a new font, this looks like a nice place to start.
• awk-raycaster: Pseudo-3D shooter written completely in gawk using raycasting technique
  I’m in awe. I love AWK, I use it almost daily, but I’ve never thought this was possible.
• Why aren’t we using SSH for everything?
  I ask myself the same question. SSH is an awesome protocol, not only for connecting to another computer!
• The case of the 500-mile email
  This is one of the best stories ever.

Epilogue

I hope you find this newsletter useful and entertaining. I really enjoyed going through my links collection and digging these gems. Feedback and suggestions always welcomed!
