Great paper looking at bugs in verified systems
Implementing Execute-Only Memory in userland: https://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/userland-xnr-jit (an elegant way of hardening JITs to ROP exploits!)
The Rust docs contain an index where you can find syntax, even if it's ungooglable! https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/syntax-index.html
Every language should have this.
Great video demonstrating how to work with code in Self: https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2015/11/18/demo-of-programming-in-self.html

Great post exploring the narratives and dynamics around OS projects and communities.
A debugger should show you the source code of every method in the stack trace, simultaneously: https://gbracha.blogspot.co.uk/2008/07/debugging-visual-metaphors.html
A new version of Self has been released! https://blog.selflanguage.org/2017/05/24/self-mandarin-2017-1/
Great to see this innovative PL continuing.
