I really struggle to keep my git commit summaries to the recommended 50 chars. Under 80 is always doable though.
cargo-check https://github.com/rsolomo/cargo-check is excellent for improving the Rust iteration cycle. If you just want a compiler check, it's very fast.
https://github.com/kud1ing/awesome-rust is a great list of useful Rust projects. It includes a number of Cargo plugins I hadn't seen before.
The excellent diff-hl https://github.com/dgutov/diff-hl just landed support for diffing on the fly! It's really useful contextual info when editing.
Really interesting to see that GitHub is allowing you to enforce tests pass before merging:
Is The Tech Market Hitting Middle Age? https://techpinions.com/is-the-tech-market-hitting-middle-age/41585 Interesting piece that argues hardware platforms will change less in future.
Old meets new: LLVM's serialisation of machine-specific IR is YAML! http://t.co/aRgTcKEKfL It's an interesting assembly language dialect.
It is so easy to form opinions on things we haven't tried: http://t.co/bFUHcVFsb0 I try (with limited success) to avoid this in programming.
LLVM 3.7 is out! http://t.co/YZIourKfag Lots of interesting new features and optimisations.
Entertaining HN discussion where a long comment is added to make code go faster! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10108672 Optimisers are often black boxes.
