My favourite robots.txt so far is this one: https://www.hackthissite.org/robots.txt

Analysing a load of robots.txt files for a side-project. It's probably not a good idea to put your admin URLs in there.

To clarify previous tweet: I'm not criticising the sysadmins at GitHub, I'm saying I'd choose a softer target to DDos if I were malicious.

The more code I write, the more I see the importance of clear prose.

I'm utterly mystified as to why GitHub gets such persistent DDoS attacks. It's such an inoffensive site and has admins capable of mitigating

f.el https://github.com/rejeep/f.el looks like a brilliant file API for #emacs. /cc @rejeep

It's surprisingly tricky to update the primary key on a Django model: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13069

http://t.co/7yYNruWbQA provides alerting via SMS or Android/iOS push notifications (amongst other things). Smartphones have won.

Emacs isn't an editor, it's a lisp machine that hasn't died. It does, however, include 7 text editors: http://t.co/GyC5mrcJ2p

I can't imagine another editor with recursive editing. I think it'd be much harder without a lisp.

If you use enable-recursive-minibuffers (and you should) you'll love minibuffer-depth-indicate-mode #emacs

I'm happy to announce v1.0 of django-function-cache, a lightweight friendly wrapper for slow functions: https://github.com/Wilfred/django-function-cache
