Trying to wrap my head around syntactic closures.

You can go a really long way in elisp without ever writing a major mode. It's hard to find a language which doesn't have one already!
Yowza, Julia's Emacs mode has support for Emacs 22!
Emacs' checkdoc warned me: 'Probably "matches" should be imperative "match"'. I'm impressed it even does grammar checking of docstrings!
I'm still regularly impressed by magit. I'm also amused that there's an 'original sin' tag on legacy code: https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/1280
@scrutinizerci any plans for code highlighting? E.g. https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/Wilfred/trifle/code-structure/master/py-class/LessThan
I'm impressed by @scrutinizerci . It's nice to see code quality services with Python support.
I'm coming to the conclusion that /etc should be in a versioned file system (e.g. NILFS), or related tool like etckeeper.
There must be a market for a link shortener that also does caching like http://t.co/k36c5o5UpI. It would actually combat link rot.
Java's convention of Foo and FooImpl rather reminds me of C's foo.c and foo.h.
mosh is a great alternative to SSH over poor wifi connections: http://t.co/qTWVhsBj9P Wish I'd known about it earlier.
Rust docs have links to the source (click [src]): http://t.co/lfw6dH4qZo I wish more languages did this.

Cider 0.7 is out! A great release, and I'm struck they're still finding features to snaffle from SLIME. Competition is good (both ways!)
Learnt today that Emacs supports `the'. It's a no-op, so presumably just a Common Lisp compatibility feature.
Question of the day: Would a Firefox plugin that only allowed HTTPS be useful? How far away are we from that state of affairs?
I'm sufficiently nervous about running rm (especially with globbing) that I end up doing `mv PATTERN /tmp` most of the time.
iptables-save is a rather poor name. It just writes your current rules to stdout!
