Lots of great new features in clang 3.7! http://t.co/d2qJ9oQStj Some of the new macro warnings are particularly nice.
How many popular Emacs packages don't require any customisation to taste? Perhaps great functionality is easier than perfect settings.
Sometimes I follow both A and B, A tweets some amazing but I don't see it until B retweets it. Merely sorting tweets by time is suboptimal.
VMs are a great way of experimenting with broken systems. What happens if you kill the init process? What if you unmount the root FS?

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.
