Lots of great new features in clang 3.7! http://t.co/d2qJ9oQStj Some of the new macro warnings are particularly nice.
miniblog.
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?
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.
