That last one (Tom 7's executable x86 paper) is incomplete without the video where he demonstrates running the paper (or running the paper yourself). ▶ this video

tom7 made a while video explaining how to create an executable only with printable characters [0]. He even write a compiler called 'ABC' for it. [0] ▶ this video

Every one of this guy's SIGBOVIK papers/videos are pure gold. His video about the printable x86[1] is my favorite engineering video of all time. ^1: ▶ this video

He's a mad genius! I like his compiler that generates executables made up only of printable characters: ▶ this video / link He's super playful and awesomely smart!
