Turns out that you can use magit-popup as a standalone library! https://magit.vc/manual/magit-popup.html I'm prototyping and so far, it works really well.

Multithreaded matrix multiplication in Rust with rayon: https://athemathmo.github.io/2016/04/16/multithreading-multiplication-1.html (comes pretty close to BLAS in some cases!)
Elisp can have long symbols, but tramp-sh-handle-start-file-process--magit-tramp-process-environment (from magit-process.el) is remarkable.
"Other than trying to support Emacs versions from two decades ago, there's never a reason to sharp quote a lambda."
It's rather shocking to see the team sizes of multibillion dollar startups: https://medium.com/@foundercollective/you-need-less-than-you-think-a8f6d0f84cbd#.j3jvvqwvq (bubble and/or productivity today?)
"Implementation errors found in 10% of privsep programs"—pledge is a rare seccomp tool that is friendly and useful.
Emacs tip: getting garbage in a traceback from byte-compiled functions? Go to the last function's definition and do eval-buffer in the file.
Newspeak (an exploratory Smalltalk-style language) demo exploring combining method editing with debugging: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74WqdS_58uY
Extraordinary idea: give the Rust compiler a web frontend, so you have pretty errors and cross references!
The ideal answer to "what's your Emacs startup time?" is "I don't remember". Emacs sessions get more useful over time IME.
Reducing trade barriers is usually good for both parties. Is this true in monopoly-prone tech? Related: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/04/22/technology/apple-no-longer-immune-to-chinas-scrutiny-of-us-tech-firms.html
Elegant code, modeling a game world, and a fascinating deep dive into Inform 7 (a language designed for text games)
Great overview of Pyston, covering motivations, design and performance: https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/KevinModzelewski/pyston-talk-111015 (also contrasts with Pypy)
I rarely feel a need to back up my phone. This is partly because many apps sync remotely, but mostly because it's rare to create on a phone.
Emacs tip of the day: kill-do-not-save-duplicates prevents pushing duplicates to the kill-ring, so you don't need to press M-y repeatedly.
