Mercurial has 'Features of Last Resort'. I love that idea. Provide great defaults, help users, but leave users' options open.
atop is a nice, easily installed system-level monitoring tool. It collects CPU/memory usage per process over time for later inspection.
In addition to skeletons, it turns out there's another snippet expanion package in core Emacs! SRecode: http://t.co/V0W8U4wGgl
Emacs: The Editor of a Lifetime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VADudzQGvU8
I have yet to meet an Emacs user who uses Icicles. Is it worth playing with?
The async library is a huge boon, but I'm still finding it hard to avoid deeply indented callbacks in node.js code.
Hah, getting Emacs koans on my stack exchange question: http://t.co/Gwy71q9sPd
I'm beginning to prefer JS without trailing semicolons. If you know the (rare) gotchas, it's less to read and type.
Arch Linux feels a lot more snappy after running pacman-optimize and rankmirrors. Should have done it earlier.
I'm not sure it's wise to put "we're hiring" in the console on a site. If I open the console, it's usually because the site isn't working.
Refining Haskell code with typed holes and Emacs: http://t.co/VQFZDRtz89
There are federated microblogs (GNU Social), social networks (Diaspora), wikis (http://t.co/V9evCj0WD8) but no auth services yet AFAIK.
Nifty Emacs feature of the day: Simple Minded Indentation Engine (via http://t.co/Ii94X5knmE)--I may have some major-mode refactoring to do.
Also, Julia treats if statements as expressions that return values. I really miss that in many of my day-to-day languages.
ERROR: syntax: use "elseif" instead of "else if" -- Julia has some really helpful syntax error messages.
I'm utterly torn between ido and helm. I like that ido has a small popup, preserving window layout, but helm is great for large datasets.
Is there a major mode for Cask files yet? emacs-lisp-mode isn't ideal as it tries to lint etc. #emacs
The LLVM community is very impressive. Lots of people sharing what they're doing in the compiler space, further generating interest.
Performance of integer overflow: http://t.co/3X5uPIs8x1 -- our compilers are rarely optimised for checking overflow.
