  Everything by James Mickens seems to humorously puncture research. Take his essay The Saddest Moment, https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login-logout_1305_mickens.pdf https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login-logout_1305_micken..., which had me laughing out loud because I've attended just that kind of conference talk, seen that set of diagrams, and I swear I've had to coordinate lunch via IM with those kinds of people ;)

    I have found Hacker News to be a very concentrated source of useful material, with a high ratio of "want to read / glad I read" articles. ... but nothing compares, nothing has prepared me, for the sheer awesomeness, of these two links. I now must store the PDFs in a safe repository with GoogleCalendar note to re-read them frequently :->
