In plain words
manpages-tldr is a command-line reference tool that provides concise, practical manpages with examples for everyday usage.

http://instantclick.io/ It seems the internet architecture won't bring us instant websites anytime soon. So here is a hack. I released this JS library last month (today is version 2.0 release, fixing v1.0's rough edges), it makes use of HTML5's pushState and preloading to make a website instant.
