$9 Linux PC with 512MiB RAM! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598272670/chip-the-worlds-first-9-computer It's amazing how close we are to ubiquitous computing and smart dust.

Today's ingenious Emacs package: syntax highlighting JS using tern!

Brushing up my Rust in preparation for the v1.0 release. The compiler errors are generally excellent.

OH: Releasing software is like going to the dentist: the more rarely you do it, the more painful it is.

I'm delighted to announce that I've assigned copyright to the FSF! I can now send patches to #Emacs itself!

Refactoring is the practice of bringing code closer to a problem's ideal solution.

Tabnabbing: A New Type of Phishing Attack http://t.co/DG1nyiFZJT Extremely devious!

The best editor for working with Agda, a rigorous dependently typed language, is apparently the dynamic typed Emacs! http://t.co/yphJPv1MbC

I learn something new every time I read the gdb docs. It's remarkably versatile.

Too many debuggers assume you haven't changed the source code since you started the debugging session. Leads to nasty misunderstandings.

Emacs tip of the day: if you're regularly running multiple compilation commands, use M-x rename-uniquely in each *compilation* buffer.

Great post on devirtualisation for C++ in GCC, with some interesting comments on warning usability: http://t.co/PL6ksVOGXS

Interesting talk exploring bottom-up vs greedy inlining in LLVM: http://t.co/KwG0bhkZP5 (GCC uses greedy inlining to great effect)

cider-debug is a very nice debugger for clojure, but it actually *improves* on edebug by including minibuffer hints! http://t.co/Vb4cS4Xm67

Yet more nifty optimisations landing in LLVM: indirect call promotion when call profiles are available http://t.co/osw1rvWD8w
