Glad Tomte shared it as the Computers archive already had some interesting nuggets of wisdom:

http://yarchive.net/comp/index.html

Included were arguments against triple modular redundancy in favor of other models, the uses of zero registers + proposal to use them on floating-point, and Mashey's algorithm counterpoint to Knuth's work. Those are a few I found quickly that were good and non-obvious to most at some point. There's a lot of stuff on here but the links are each short for easy skimming.

Good resource.

Those were some good reads. Appreciate it. The use of API naming to indicate intent for a license was particularly clever.
