UltraViolet http://t.co/e02LiYLVDk has an interesting model of users proving they own a copy, then letting them stream from anywhere.

Interesting to see that Rust chose Markdown for its documentation. However, it's pandoc markdown, which is nicer: http://t.co/C5DrONaglk

Partial type inference proposal for Haskell: http://t.co/SIvLw67iBJ

New #Python syntax PEP has been accepted! http://t.co/T9avCqCZnl (infix matrix multiplication)

I'm coming to the conclusion that it's better for my browser to not reopen the tabs from last time. Too easy for old HN content to distract.

Neo900 is shaping up into an interesting project. A hackable phone where the modem can't pwn me would be wonderful.

org-mode works as a spreadsheet. Bonkers, but cool. I think I'd rather write elisp than VBA.

Emacs recursive editing is magical. If your code crashes, you can browse and edit the code whilst the debugger is active!

Ansible is really impressive. I've gone from nothing to a provisioned server in a very short space of time.

Good grief, it's easy to type `sudo !1` instead of `sudo !!`. They are not the same!

It's great when websites allow me to just log in with GitHub/Twitter/etc. No password to deal with (but it's easy to forget which service!)

Whilst the criticisms of git's UI are deserved, SVN is hard if you've learnt git first. Merging branches with conflicts is not easy in SVN!

Turns out that you can convert eggs to wheels. Eggs are nice as they save you recompiling, but using wheels gives you pip! Hurrah!

"Like metaclasses, monkeypatching and metapath[s], if you're not already sure you need [..]this feature, you [..]don't need it." Wise words.

Woah, projectile has gone from good to great since I last looked at it. #emacs
