If you're a Hubot user and based in London, I've just released https://www.npmjs.com/package/hubot-tube-status to check on the current tube status!

jq http://t.co/Xczrc1ng3g is a fantastic tool for exploring JSON files. I wish I'd known about it earlier. http://t.co/gIwaGzatIA

Discovered jekyll-modes today, a major mode with syntax highlighting in highlight blocks when editing Jekyll posts. http://t.co/7FeQyFgICe

Blogged: My First LLVM Compiler: http://t.co/WUbsE7qawT

I'm coming round to the view that every project should have a code tidy script to keep formatting consistent.

Wow. In C++, `x = x` can have side effects! I can't think of any other language with this property.

Memcheck, the asm.js equivalent of valgrind: http://t.co/CdpcVG0a8p

`C-x TAB' is an underrated command (bound to indent-rigidly). You can give it a numeric +ve or -ve prefix argument, or use it interactively!

I'm nearly sorted with FSF copyright assignment! Excited!

"most code doesn’t even run once which is why JS engines wait for a function to be run before even fully parsing it"

IE will add asm.js optimisations! http://t.co/y9UoXFaXWX This is huge for near-native web performance.

It's amazing that gcc is still finding new ways to significantly improve performance (at least on some chips): http://t.co/lSREwMbhOe

Emacs 24.4.90, the first pretest for 24.5, has been released! http://t.co/qXE7rdxpkz Give it a try!

The LLVM API and docs are really good. I've gone from zero C++ knowledge to a BF to LLVM IR compiler in only a week!

Sadly Arch Linux doesn't have LLDB in its official repos yet (AUR only). It's only a matter of time I hope.
