Ask HN: Have a website on the tip-of-your-tongue?

Hey HN, I often remember bits of either Hacker News' threads or links I've followed from them that I then neglect to bookmark.

I suspect others have the same issue and wanted to make a thread to hopefully connect the resident knowledge-base of people here to those in need.

In my case, I'm cursed looking for a particular blog post in which the author demonstrated a technique for coding complex software in C via leveraging the shell (bash in this case) as a way of avoiding memory management issues. Since the processes involved were themselves tiny, startup and teardown costs were marginal, at least for some workloads. I believe one of the core ideas was that classic C/Unix programmers thought in terms of "shelling out" to C when needed from a bash script but the core application logic was in the script and not in the (relatively) clunky language of C.

Anyway, if you know what blog post this is I would very much appreciate being pointed back to it. Hopefully others can benefit from finding things too!
