Double Shot #2543
My apologies. Due to a mistake in syncing things to my travel laptop, some older posts were republished out of order last week, in place of the new posts that I thought I had queued up. That's fixed now, and you'll get some longer-than-usual Double Shots this week as I clear out the backlog. Sorry about that!
- PDP-6 Hardware Log - 1967 Stanford document from the good old days of debugging things. Page two: "The model 35 is a hunk of (angry poopy scribble)"

- nodebook - Multi-Language REPL with Web UI + CLI code runner

- The Mac is No Longer an Open Platform - If it ever was.
