Curly braces in Python: http://t.co/4jjtupRgYq
miniblog.
Learnt about `set -u` in bash scripts today. Ensures all your variables are defined, very handy (think `"use strict";` for shell)
New version of IntelliJ is out! It might be time for a visit to non-Emacs-land to pillage features and ideas!
Using a Solaris system today! When I was at university, they were so old that none were available to learn on. Now, found one in prod!
Argh. Creating a file whose filename with a leading space is a royal pain. Ended up using a Python script just to see what was going on.
When first learning about responsive design, I misunderstood it to mean 'unpleasantly long line lengths'. Sadly it's an easy mistake to make
@bodil Saw your impressive Emacs-fu at the Clojure dojo. Which Emacs package were you using to serve files over HTTP?
Probably the best explanation of macros I've ever seen: http://t.co/wvT1DP7Iok
Scala.js looks exciting. It's rare to see compiled-to-JS langs with non-JS semantics but still allow interoperability with jQuery et al.
Brilliant discussion of unicode and bytestrings: http://t.co/cOHhOVxdyb -- most languages get this wrong!
Detecting a pulse from videos of people: http://t.co/f3fXWAhvvZ -- remarkable.
It rarely seems worthwhile leaving breadcrumbs for fixing problems in the form of blog posts. Writing/editing SO answers is perfect though.
Django's loaddata command does not give you full tracebacks by default. Argh. Turns out there's a --traceback command line argument though.
Why is it so rare to see software legal agreements without a table of contents? It's almost as if they don't want you to read it!
@RandomOrg I couldn't see this in your FAQ: do you serve the same bytes to each visitor, or does each user get a nonoverlapping data subset?
Johnny Cache: http://t.co/2B3xI1GTEE is a much better solution for Django caching anyway, as it caches all redundant reads.
Argh. Django's .get_profile() caches the UserProfile, which can cause surprises if you're modifying the profile elsewhere.
London Clojure dojo was excellent. I enjoy whenever someone says "but this is Emacs, so we can simply..."
Ideally, commenting out any part of your code will produce a test failure. Mutation testing works on this principle.
We're getting 16Gb/second data transfer to our colocation! (By jumping in a car and physically moving the hard disks...)
