Excited to be attending the Hack on Emacs! meetup tomorrow: http://t.co/tup2TrbA2y
miniblog.
The most common languages used by Emacs hackers seem to be Haskell and Clojure. I may be missing out by not using either of those regularly.
memcpy and memmove http://t.co/1rk2v49f4E OpenBSD's devotion to code quality is amazing.
Delighted to see my markdown post on HN! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8674494 FWIW, markdown's increasing ubiquity offsets its gotchas somewhat.
Are there any web platforms that have solved the problem of discussing politically sensitive issues online? Is the problem even tractable?
I love third party services that provide badges that show out-of-date dependencies. David even shows a changelog! http://t.co/0A1kJrxRWN
The best introduction to paredit I've ever seen: http://t.co/K0mY5espow

Both of the *Python* data science conferences I've attended this year have discussed #julialang. The future looks bright!
Org-mode is all about getting things done: hence the non-trivial awk scripts! http://t.co/LBodRExUd3
Ruby's flip-flop operator is a remarkable bit of syntax with implicit state: http://t.co/P0nefQprs1
I'm excited about https://sourcegraph.com/ as it lets you intelligently search a huge amount of open source code. Similar ideas to OpenGrok.
What can Scheme learn from JS? http://t.co/mBG4H3Hg3k Great overview of language design: dynamism is hard, consider performance early.
It's a funny state of affairs when Emacs folks cite *performance* as a reason for using a browser written in elisp! http://t.co/TgZOfN75tu
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!
