Impressed that digitalocean updated their blogpost to be more blunt. I wish more tech companies were like them.
miniblog.
commando.io looks like an excellent alternative to Rundeck if you want something clean and hosted. Still beta though.
Updating to Linux 3.12.6. Looks like several important btrfs fixes. It pays to be *really* conservative with filesystems.
"we see cameras transitioning into what they were bound to become: networked lenses" -- http://t.co/l1xY1EvDAg Thought provoking.
Not enough apps are built with a responsiveness budget. If all apps' UIs responded in less than 200ms, the world would be better.
Python, Emacs lisp, JavaScript, Ruby, Clojure, Haskell, C. Cripes, a busy year! #code2013
Considering how high C is on the TIOBE index, I have met very few professional C programmers. Odd.
"In my own tests, compiled Elisp with lexical scope enabled is about 10% to 15% faster than with the default dynamic scope." Worth knowing!
Fifty pages of legalese, and one lousy control panel later, and I have set up HTTPS! It's well worth it, but not easy.
So, apparently the NSA favours BIOS-based malware. Makes me want a Stallman-style 'even the BIOS is F/OSS' machine.
I like C. It's a small language, which is an underrated language feature.
Writing Haskell with flycheck was a revelation. As-you-type linting and typechecking gives a nice tight feedback loop.
Emacs 24.4 also makes ht.el less compelling as there will be built-in functions hash-table-keys and hash-table-values. Competition is good!
Exciting changes in #emacs 24.4! Multi-monitor support, edebug can display local vars, and tons more!
I'm surprised at how little entropy (see /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail) is available on my Linux box. haveged really helps.
What's the opposite of 'technology agnostic'? 'Technology fundamentalist'?
You can't prove the absence of bugs, but 91% test coverage on an important system does help me sleep at night.
Some test runners, such as MiniTest, randomise the order of tests to ensure tests are isolated. Neat idea, but I worry about repeatability.
Comparing contributors between different git projects: http://t.co/fHlu0F3VTR -- an effective way of seeing a project's bus factor!
#emacs tip: when using vc-annotate to see when a line last changed (i.e. git blame), press v to toggle the verbose details.
