Ask HN: What's the best source code you've read?
Eye-opening but probably not "best": the Nullsoft Installer, circa 2002 (https://github.com/kichik/nsis). Its goal, besides being an installer, was to produce a small binary. So the source was remarkably pithy, which taught me a lot about being direct and to-the-point rather than aiming for beautiful abstractions or reusability.
Similar with Notch's Left4KDead, which implemented a fun zombie game for a Java small-code competition. A mirror of the original source is here (https://github.com/codingcampbell/Left-4k-Dead). I rewrote it in JavaScript as a Chrome App, in the process refactoring for readability (and sacrificing some of the code's beauty). https://github.com/sowbug/ChromeLeft4kDead

Had this NOKIA-9000 communicator laying on my shelf for a long time, and I’m still amazed how cool this device was back in the day.
Runs PC-GEOS! Which recently got open sourced, if you want to write software for it... https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos

Can anyone suggest any fun to mess around with software that I can find on archive.org? I'm looking for things from old businesses or just anything fun really.
luckily we have sources now ( https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos ) so that makes it much more fun. it's kinda weird to read TODO from 199x :)

i was a bit joking with geos but of course, if you are curious - then try it. by now even the sources are available if you want to read some cute assembly or dive in prehistoric kernel ( https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos ).
