Follow-up to #251. I checked every external link in the README; omniref was the only fully dead one, but a few others were stale or only worked through redirects.

Changes

  • Unraveling String Key Performance in Ruby 2.2: the SitePoint URL now redirects to "Crafting Ruby for Performance", an unrelated article. Points to the archived original on the Wayback Machine instead.
  • Derailed Benchmarks: schneems/derailed_benchmarks -> zombocom/derailed_benchmarks (the repo moved).
  • Weird stuff with hashes: tenderlovemaking.com moved the post from .html to a trailing-slash path.
  • Switch the remaining http:// links (ruby-doc.org, Rails 5.1 guides, SitePoint Symbol GC) to https://.

Verification

Each changed link returns 200 with no redirects, and the archived SitePoint page is the original article.

Not changed: the "Share this" tweet link still uses twitter.com and git.io. Both still redirect to the right place.

The SitePoint "Unraveling String Key Performance in Ruby 2.2" URL now redirects to an unrelated article, so point it at the archived original on the Wayback Machine.

Update links that only worked through redirects to their final URLs:
- derailed_benchmarks moved from schneems to zombocom
- tenderlovemaking.com post moved to a trailing-slash path

Switch the remaining http links (ruby-doc.org, Rails 5.1 guides, SitePoint) to https.
