I've been playing with 'sliders' in difftastic, the classic diff problem where you highlight an adjacent value that is correct but weird. I've taught difftastic to penalise sequences across newlines. This largely works, but it hurts perf (another degree of freedom to solve).

Valve has forked and packaged up Wine to help Linux users play games: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton This is FOSS working as intended: freedom to try other things, but contributing upstream!

The assumptions C/C++ compilers make, and an argument in favour of giving the compiler more flexibility regarding struct layout and padding. (I believe Rust gives the compiler more freedom for structs that don't cross an FFI boundary.) https://twitter.com/shafikyaghmour/status/991370524008759296
