I really like that Rust's build tool compiles all the files in your examples/ directory by default. It means examples actually work!

Today's useful, less known Emacs command: helm-all-mark-rings. It lets you jump to anywhere on the mark ring in any buffer!

There are serious proposals for removing trigraphs in the next C++ version: http://t.co/N8fSpnjH8v Nice to see some simplification.

Woah, dash.el has really nice pattern matching! (-let [(_ _ _ in-string in-comment &rest _) (syntax-ppss)] (or in-string in-comment))

"Stories take an average of 8 seconds to load, by far the slowest single content type on Facebook." http://t.co/XdvR87MPo2 (web is bonkers!)

CSS browser prefixes have become a compatibility issue: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/mozilla.compatibility/ekZBqfOnzTc/discussion (interesting Facebook sends browser-specific CSS for perf!)

GCC 5: Faster binaries, better warning, nicer output, more standards support. Fantastic, but too much to fit in a tweet!

GCC 5 defaults to C11 (from C89)! Fixes a paper cut for new C developers.

OH at the last Emacs meetup: "What shell do you use? Zsh, bash, ...?" "I use Korn 93!" — I've never met two elispers with the same workflow.

Emacs package names tend to be odd, internally consistent and memorable. Great example: Kill or Bury Alive

What would you consider to be fundamental computing rights? Some suggestions here: http://t.co/w3Ex9JuBjk

Why tooling is poised to make the jump to hyperspace https://vimeo.com/76141334 (fantastic critique of programming methods today by @raganwald)

Are there any IDEs/editor plugins that show GitHub comments on commits? Online discussion of code is useful and should be accessible.

The GT Spotter is a fantastic demonstration of Smalltalk. E.g. extending your IDE tools to handle an address book! http://t.co/zJqKDMYsEh

It's really exciting to see Clojurescript is bootstrapping and enabling new REPL possibilities: http://t.co/NqYuXH4Qp9
