@hober I'm a big fan of your hl-sexp Emacs package, but I hit a minor bug. Where should I file an issue / send patches?
miniblog.
I've never liked arguments of the form OPTIMIZE=y or FAST=y. Why would I want slow? Clearer would be DEBUG_LEVEL i.e. show the tradeoff.
Fun with deeply obscure Python multithreading shutdown bugs, circa Python 1.5! http://t.co/6f9hTXiNQg
Django 1.7 is out! Many nice little features added, such as JsonResponse:
Hilarious discussion on r/Emacs where vim is highlighting *elisp* better than Emacs itself! http://t.co/ZbQ6zViv6S (see screenshot)
Emacs command of the day: eshell-life-is-too-much. Kills eshell. Many Emacs commands are quirky but fantastically memorable.
Really nifty tool for browsing git history on Emacs: git-timemachine!

Turns out a Scheme implementation is not required to support arbitrary size integers. I'd assumed it was guaranteed. http://t.co/P4fJ1nKJ7e
I'm really enjoying the book A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation but reading pre-ANSI C is *weird*.
MELPA lists an impressive 12 backends for company-mode. I'm considering switching.
Why would you use `do { .... } while (0)` in C?: http://t.co/34h3evCees
Taking it to Th’emacs: http://t.co/0N0lyDcfM2 The overlap between Smalltalk style systems and Emacs is substantial and rarely discussed.
TIL that common lisp has delimited GOTO using tagbody: http://t.co/NLReyvSN4R . With hindsight it's not surprising (hypermultiparadigm!)
