Sometimes I feel coding is simply a matter of 'how do I implement these features whilst minimising the added evil to the codebase?'
miniblog.
Woah, Wikipedia discusses Prolog on its homoiconicity page. Mind-bending.
Aha! Whilst crate.io no longer exists, and PyPI doesn't show all the available versions, http://t.co/GCfPFxNuCS does! #python
Python's ExitStack allows you to programmatically enter and leave context managers. Powerful, but it's enough rope to hang yourself.
What properties matter when trying to create a successful programming language? http://t.co/44DWlLTmk3
magit-svn is available on MELPA, and it allows you to use git-svn from the comfort of #Emacs. Indispensible if you're dealing with svn.
"Thank you for caring." -- a bug report. That's what we aim for!
I find it hard to name servers. Cute names are unhelpful, but digiocean-amsterdam-5 is a mouthful.
Interesting library of the day: Joose, a self-hosted OOP library for JS: https://github.com/Joose/Joose
UltraViolet http://t.co/e02LiYLVDk has an interesting model of users proving they own a copy, then letting them stream from anywhere.

Partial type inference proposal for Haskell: http://t.co/SIvLw67iBJ
New #Python syntax PEP has been accepted! http://t.co/T9avCqCZnl (infix matrix multiplication)
I'm coming to the conclusion that it's better for my browser to not reopen the tabs from last time. Too easy for old HN content to distract.
Neo900 is shaping up into an interesting project. A hackable phone where the modem can't pwn me would be wonderful.
org-mode works as a spreadsheet. Bonkers, but cool. I think I'd rather write elisp than VBA.
Emacs recursive editing is magical. If your code crashes, you can browse and edit the code whilst the debugger is active!
Ansible is really impressive. I've gone from nothing to a provisioned server in a very short space of time.
Good grief, it's easy to type `sudo !1` instead of `sudo !!`. They are not the same!
It's great when websites allow me to just log in with GitHub/Twitter/etc. No password to deal with (but it's easy to forget which service!)
