When working with computers we frequently find these cool little tidbits/tricks/tips we could share. They are too small to make a full article, but they are likely the right size for Paged Out! magazine, where each article is just 1 page 😎

Learning reverse engineering and hungry for some real-world tips and tricks? Check out this article by Amnesia ("Reverse Engineering Cryptography Code"). This is a solid overview with multiple approaches to the topic.
A perfect 1-page Friday reading → here's a fun article by Jacob Strieb about (ab)using <canvas> element in HTML and PNGs to get DEFLATE compression into older browsers (without reimplementing the whole thing in JS).

The article by Gynvael is about curious Python VM implementation quirks. It is also an epic drama about broken expectations and wisdom learned the hard way. Worth the read for all low-level and Python enthusiasts – test how deep your Python knowledge is!
