Today I learnt that this is valid elisp: (setq white\ space\ symbol 3) ; Yikes! #emacs

Python's built-in JSON parser is implemented in C, but ujson is significantly faster still. Hurrah!

The speed and quality of Emacs answers on Stack Overflow is excellent. I skim the questions trying to help, but others have already answered

PEP 285 http://t.co/NE8mvAk9ta, which introduced True and False to Python, is worth a read. It's surprising how much controversy it caused.

http://t.co/ahZeZxcYCv simply doesn't load in Presto Opera. That's unfortunate.

I expect all electronic devices to set their own clocks now. I shouldn't have to do anything when the hour changes.

Beware Python predecence. `print "Percentage: %s" % 0.25 * 100` does not do what you'd expect.
