Comment on: So, has anyone started work on "VES" yet?

Sure; looks like /v/enhancement has been open for nearly a year, so I assume they've made some progress by now.

I haven't checked in on that subverse, mainly because Voat already does most of the stuff I used RES for (night mode, mainly).

Comment on: Programming Sucks

Still as relevant as ever, and I always read it in full whenever I come across it.

James Mickens puts out a lot of similar stuff over at Microsoft; I especially enjoyed his Night Watch on the perils of systems programming. I always collapse into a fit of laughter at:

The systems programmer has read the kernel source, to better understand the deep ways of the universe, and the systems programmer has seen the comment in the scheduler that says “DOES THIS WORK LOL"

Comment on: Guide to x86 Assembly

Oh gods, I still have the Pentium-4 manuals in dead-tree format. Taking up half my bookshelf...

Comment on: C: An introduction for the high-level programmer

This is great. I always quote the Jargon File on C: "a language that combines all the elegance and power of assembly language with all the readability and maintainability of assembly language", but it is where I learned the most about systems and embedded programming.

Nowadays, it's really quite difficult to go anywhere without running into C-syntax languages, so its influence is felt far and wide.
