Really exciting to see jsonb in postgres. More options in the DB world is a good thing.
#Python surprise of the day: `x = []; x.insert(999, "foo")` does not throw an error.
Excited to see my elisp TCO package becoming available on MELPA! https://github.com/milkypostman/melpa/pull/1595 #emacs
Writing a programming language has given me a newfound appreciation of other languages out there.
Fantastic suggestions for making REPL programming even nicer: http://t.co/NqvMfbXYFD (Clojure)
My blog posts tend to grow rather than maturing until they're ready to go live. I'm considering an arbitrary limit -- it worked for Twitter!
Achievement unlocked: Found an unbalanced paren in #Emacs source: https://github.com/mirrors/emacs/blob/c5fa071c30f9e3b475f4e24263b0f7ca90616564/etc/NEWS.21#L3370
checkdoc is definitely useful, but rather picky. It's hard to summarise some functions in a very short sentence. #emacs
On-demand virtual servers are great. Rather than simulating with a VM, I can just rent an additional server for testing deploy scripts.
keen.io looks really useful. It's also another example of the 'free for dev side projects' philosophy. Always works :)
I actually needed a try-else statement in Python today! I believe this is the first time I've used it in anger.
Gah. There's no substitute for the real world for testing code robustness.
Lisping has a really interesting UI for editing lisp code: big friendly + buttons to add to a sexp: http://t.co/yKabB9OWHA
I remember discussing at uni whether we'd actually ever implement sort functions. Invaluable when you're implementing a language!
Saw a very sophisticated IPython demo today! Nice to see practical uses of it. The target usecase is very different from a slime repl.
I believe many technically inferior projects have gained majority market share by having a great install process and beginner friendly docs.
PostgreSQL has a MAC address datatype. Neat.
Why haven’t most software development jobs been outsourced to India/China? http://t.co/K9zvkB29ji Interesting discussion.
One man's `git reset --hard` is another man's `svn revert -R .`.
