I really like how clang reports type warnings that include type aliases. It's already helped me fix a bug.
miniblog.
Super nifty web-browsable C++ source code with cross references: http://t.co/AHlOzNNeEQ -- why don't we have this for more languages?
SPEC benchmarks depend on undocumented C behaviour: http://t.co/9zkybqwM9N -- compiler benchmarking takes real language lawyering.
I saw a company today describe itself as using MangoDB. I really hope that was a typo: https://github.com/dcramer/MangoDB
I'm envious of gofmt, which formats Go code in a canonical style. TIL clang-format supports several languages, so I'm giving it a try for C.
#emacs trivia of the day: asm-comment-char defaults to ";", which is only really for the PDP-11. i386, x6_64 etc use "#".
Reading https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/453 makes me wonder how many languages provide mutually recursive macros.that expand to macros.
From the Rust blog "Everything marked stable will have at least a usage example" -- nice to see examples being prioritised for docs!
"Many people try to compare Rust to Go, but this is flawed. Go is an ancient board game that emphasizes strategy." http://t.co/Afyws0rm0V
I really like the pairing of Julia's non-sexpr syntax with macros. For example, elegant pattern matching: http://t.co/cieAPYxSeC
Emacs of the package of the day: goto-chg.el: lets you jump to the last changed place in the buffer. Handy for small changes in big files!
Had my first patch accepted on LLVM!
Ha, you can run Emacs from within eshell (though not `emacs -nw`). Real elispers use recursive editors though.
Bash's builtin getopts doesn't support --long-name args . Linux has a getopt command, but OS X's is limited. Perhaps I'll just use Python.
Shen is now going to be BSD licensed! Awesome!
I discovered Ansible's with_items today. It's great for removing duplication, and some modules (such as yum) even run faster with it!
LLVM is a big project (several hundred MiB for the git repo) and you can actually compare how fast different hosts are. GitHub is fast!
Playing with Gitorious, a F/OSS GitHub alternative. It's not quite as fast or polished as GitHub. Amused that my repo is 'wilfreds-evil'!
I'm simplifying several Python projects as I realise just how generally useful the pandas Dataframe data structure is.
Twitter:StatusNet, Facebook:Diaspora -- do decentralised services gain much traction today? The most recent success I can see is bittorrent.
