I like page 30: The Subpixel Zoo . It must be hell for text rendering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering

Michał Zalewski's article on page 42 is very funny.

I've never seen this before, it's like a modern 2600 - deeply technical, scattered topics and depth, all very hacker-curious - and beautifully designed to boot.

`Baby Steps in C` is hilarious lol. I'll be buying the print editions going forward. They hooked me right in with that.

Fun fact - the computiles piece is an uncredited rediscovery of Wang's work from the 1960's on computable tilings. Specifically, he went as far to show that the halting problem is equivalent to the 'domino problem' - can we tile the plane using a given finite set of dominoes (aka tiles) where we have infinitely many copies of each and the tiling must preserve edge-meet criteria. Every tiling is a computer program, every computer program is a tiling.

It reminds me a little bit of a Phrack textfile, but if Phrack had raster image art advertising in it.

When does the Printed edition go on sale? Lulu doesn't have the 9th edition listed yet.
