HTML 5 forms support type="number", which isn't as handy as you'd think. Chrome forbids spaces, so it's a poor match for phone or CC numbers
$ grep -v "'s" < /usr/share/dict/words | sort -R | head -n 4 #xkcd936
Git koans: http://t.co/70PBNFypmC demonstrating that much good humour has some truth in it.
Argh. Firefox 26 has a bug that makes it much harder to detect history.state support: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=949471
Jinja2 has a concept of 'recursive loops', a neat concept that I haven't seen before. Handy for threaded comments.
https://crate.io/ has moved! It was a great way to search for packages on PyPI. https://preview-pypi.python.org/ is new, but currently 500ing.
"-snoc: This is like cons, but operates on the end of list."-- Amazing name. Obvious when you know, but not readable at first glance! #emacs

"One of your test API keys has been filled into the examples, so you can test out any example right away." Stripe, I'm impressed.
Was nerd sniped today. Write a function in Python that flattens a list of arbitrary depth. My solution: http://t.co/TBwNrkqZjE
Today I learnt about iptables-apply. It undoes firewall rule changes if you've accidentally locked yourself out. Replaces my custom scripts!
Non-ASCII characters in domain names -- very hard to display them correctly in all browsers: http://t.co/TqbNHJSWtd
