Good grief, it's easy to type `sudo !1` instead of `sudo !!`. They are not the same!
miniblog.
It's great when websites allow me to just log in with GitHub/Twitter/etc. No password to deal with (but it's easy to forget which service!)
Whilst the criticisms of git's UI are deserved, SVN is hard if you've learnt git first. Merging branches with conflicts is not easy in SVN!
Turns out that you can convert eggs to wheels. Eggs are nice as they save you recompiling, but using wheels gives you pip! Hurrah!
"Like metaclasses, monkeypatching and metapath[s], if you're not already sure you need [..]this feature, you [..]don't need it." Wise words.
Woah, projectile has gone from good to great since I last looked at it. #emacs
OH: "Also, 11 isn't a pseudo-random number. It's 11."

C2 wiki is stuffed to the gunnels with gems. For example, http://t.co/KSrdCpXCpx discusses a live 3D collaborative coding environment.
Button to nowhere: https://medium.com/design-ux/77d911517318 interesting UX concept.
"You aren’t serious about OOP until you subclass Class." http://t.co/NmM88BqzaY Superb discussion of OOP and metaobjects by @raganwald.
Emacs has a game-of-life implementation! The kitchen-sink reputation is well deservied.
Arc lisp uses first class anonymous macros to define `defmacro` and `let`! Really impressive.
ipdb is nice for debugging #python (it's an IPython-y version of pdb), but pdbpp https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pdbpp/ has a swankier display.
Dear future me: It's not obvious how to start bash without executing any profile or rc files. It's `env -i bash --noprofile --norc`
Really useful list of major #Python features and when they were added (for writing backward compatible libraries): http://t.co/JKxpQC4EJI
