Lossless Web Navigation with Trails https://medium.com/@patrykadas/lossless-web-navigation-with-trails-9cd48c0abb56 (like Tree Style Tab, but more general!)
TIL that making an ABI mistake can cause segfaults in Rust, without unsafe or warnings!
That desperate feeling when you look at assembly in gdb trying to find out which assumption your code makes is wrong.
Remacs now builds on OS X, and we run the Emacs ERT tests on every PR!
Nice overview of Scheme macros, and a good motivation for having a syntax object (filenames! line numbers!)
On the relationship between expressiveness and the need for patterns, from an interesting paper on PL expressiveness
Thoughtful, interesting piece on why Julia is adding syntax to force vectorisation of code:
If Haskell is so great, why hasn't it taken over the world? https://pchiusano.github.io/2017-01-20/why-not-haskell.html (on productivity multipliers and composability)
Today I learnt that the Travis status site shows the build backlog, if any: https://www.traviscistatus.com/ (see also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29567063/how-does-travis-ci-org-throttle-builds/34809448#34809448)
