Started prefixing my emacs.d functions with wh/. I haven't had name collisions, but I'm tired of 'just call FOO! Oh, that's not built-in...'

Emacs package of the day: ace-window. Bind it to `C-x o' and save yourself cycling through. https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window
Pharo's Morph has methods with categories 'debug and other', 'miscellaneous' and 'utilities'. It's hard to categorise everything!

How do you demonstrate that you didn't go fishing for theorems in your data? http://t.co/Xo8XUbP4JG
Constant propagation can break C code, if you're coding strictly to the spec: http://t.co/4bl7iaHho5 (crikey!)
Superb summary of the research into the effects of static typing on productivity: http://t.co/nxOLrQqytr (it's very hard to test well!)
Arch Linux updates so frequently that I'm beginning to wonder if I've missed some minor kernel versions entirely.
