Turns out there is a proper dependency resolution tool for Python packages, using an optimised SAT solver: http://t.co/Dj5bDzgk9U
I like the idea of a blind A/B test of search engines http://t.co/6r4st8HFyt (though in spite of the site, I got Google: 4, Draw: 1)

Python 2 docs still have references to `while 1:`! https://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-u
Regexps have many weird and wonderful variants in different engines. Some engines offer possessive quantifiers: http://t.co/PMmPIjuCHy
Reseraching IE usage numbers, and Google gives a related search "internet explorer usage vs murder rate". Cripes.
I really like that underscore.js includes examples. I wish it were more common. Shame it's not interactive though.
Today I learn that it's possible to write properties in JS: var i = 0; var o = { get x() { return i++; }; o.x; o.x;
A helpful discussion of Erlang syntax: http://t.co/mcxCCb4w7x
