Really cute ASCII art graphing in Julia:

GitLab looks really good. There is a school of thought that says F/OSS shouldn't be hosted on a proprietary service. I'm sympathetic.

Saw a Pebble watch in person today. I love the idea of a hackable smartwatch, but I haven't found a compelling (for me) app yet.

Pandas + IPython notebook is really growing on me. It's a nice way to interact with code. I'd like to see more HTML __repr__'s (eg lists).

Entertainingly, you can be guilty of vaxocentrism without ever coding on a VAX: http://t.co/44m7uE4bK4

Definitely enjoyed the #emacs meetup. I hope my brief live coding was comprehensible, this is uncharted territory for me.

I keep meaning to bind H- (windows key) to keybindings in Emacs. Ideally I'd like a consistent theme, the way C-M- is often used for sexps.

Excited to be attending the Hack on Emacs! meetup tomorrow: http://t.co/tup2TrbA2y

The most common languages used by Emacs hackers seem to be Haskell and Clojure. I may be missing out by not using either of those regularly.

memcpy and memmove http://t.co/1rk2v49f4E OpenBSD's devotion to code quality is amazing.

Delighted to see my markdown post on HN! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8674494 FWIW, markdown's increasing ubiquity offsets its gotchas somewhat.

Are there any web platforms that have solved the problem of discussing politically sensitive issues online? Is the problem even tractable?

I love third party services that provide badges that show out-of-date dependencies. David even shows a changelog! http://t.co/0A1kJrxRWN

The best introduction to paredit I've ever seen: http://t.co/K0mY5espow

I think the ideal .emacs.d is just configuration and keybindings, with everything else factored out as packages. I'm not quite there yet.
