Since the Netflix API shut down, I don't take APIs for granted. Delighted to learn that eBay's API is pretty featureful.

Most macros I write are `def-foo' (declarative) or `with-foo' (setup then tidying). This gives predictable semantics: important with macros.

I don't read enough code. I skimmed a few GB emulators today and saw some great approaches to structure. The nicest:

In the DOM, no one will hear you scream https://www.slideshare.net/x00mario/in-the-dom-no-one-will-hear-you-scream (argues that perfect server-side XSS protection is impossible!)

In the DOM, no one will hear you scream
The document discusses the history and development of the Document Object Model (DOM) from its early implementations in 1995 to modern standards. It outlines key milestones like DOM Level 1 in 1998, the rise of JavaScript frameworks like Prototype, jQuery and MooTools in 2005-2006, and ongoing work by the W3C and WHATWG. The talk will explore security issues that can arise from the DOM's ability to convert strings to executable code and demonstrate an attack technique called DOM clobbering. - Download as a PDF, PPTX or view online for free

Some subtle shadowing gotchas in Rust: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/surprising-item-shadowing/3494 (fortunately the compiler warns you in this circumstance)
Surprising item shadowing
Surprising item shadowing
Today I found that the following program prints 92 fn main() { let x: i32 = 92; { const x: i32 = 42; println!("{}", x); } } This happens because const is an item and the reference says "it is otherwise identical in meaning to declaring the item outside the statement block.". Is this behavior intentional?

Swift Intermediate Language: https://llvm.org/devmtg/2015-10/slides/GroffLattner-SILHighLevelIR.pdf interesting design choices include parametrised basic blocks and stack vars by default.

I'm increasingly seeing email as an anachronism. Shared, searchable group messaging or IM are usually what people actually want.
