I confess I uninstalled the nvidia binary drivers when they didn't work with a new kernel. I haven't looked back, it's been less painful.
Search for code and unbreaking broken images in Pharo: http://t.co/96Qt52c5Du
Designing for developer experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKVPJU3W5Ys -- slow to start, but some interesting Smalltalk IDE discussion and demos.
Value types in Java: http://t.co/Px5bxC7lrC
Following the mypy type annotations discussions with interest. Devil's in the details though, I think it will end up just an editor hint.

Learnt today that there's a live git mirror of Emacs bzr: http://t.co/kZ5SfbyKdK -- not as good as ESR's migrated repo though.
Python packaging: Source dists require compilation, eggs don't work with pip, and you can't upload binary Linux wheels to PyPI. Argh!

Contrasting Emacs and Pharo (Smalltalk) as complete computing environments: http://t.co/f3tS1P9gWe

Several weeks and 156 commits later, my C compiler is now compiling a Turing-complete subset of C! https://github.com/Wilfred/babyc
Introduction to CLOS from other OOP backgrounds: http://t.co/2EcpGFGuga
(if (< (string-to-int (emacs-uptime "%d")) 30) (message "Stop closing Emacs!"))
x86 assembly can be written with the src operand first, or the dest. My docs just say the '1st operand'. http://t.co/avRG1iS0jW Argh!
Stack Overflow is huge! In the last 120 days, they've question-banned 25,000 users: http://t.co/4uaf01nncq Huge community scale challenges.
