Show HN: The Unix Magic poster, annotated (updated)
This is a site that maps the references on Gary Overacre's 1980s UNIX Magic
poster to short write-ups with sources. I posted an earlier version about a
year ago [1]. Since then I rewrote some of the annotations, added
deep-linking to individual markers and a frame/sidebar view, gave the site a
terminal-style redesign, and fixed historical inaccuracies (daemon etymology,
nroff origin, B language vs. Multics, etc.).
Contributions and comments welcome; each marker is a GitHub issue.

- protocolture 5mo agoGood Stuff. I wasnt aware of the other 2 posters at all.
- drio 5mo agoMe neither. It is fascinating to see the progress from those to the final version. I wish I could speak to the author to learn a bit more about his creative process.
- GNOMES 5mo agoAre there plans to annotate the other two posters?
- drio 5mo agoNot at the moment. Do you see a lot of references in the other ones?
- fyhn 5mo agoVery nice. Learned about `banner`. It'd be nice if zooming the page also zoomed the poster itself.
- sprior 5mo agoDon't leave us hanging, do the other two!
- drio 5mo agoWe have some possible new markers, please head over the github repo -- I'd love to hear your thoughts. https://github.com/drio/unixmagic/issues https://github.com/drio/unixmagic/issues
