.@Atlassian do you provide checksums for your software downloads? I can't see any here: https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/download

I'm considering bleeding-edge magit (the 'next' branch). The (wonderful) maintainer is now asking for testers: https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/1645
Writing multi-threaded code is remarkably cross-cutting. It's harder to factor out common functionality when you depend on specific locks.
It's a little sad that changing a comment can trigger a recompile. Compilers should be able to be smarter.
Lurking in #emacs on freenode is very worthwhile. Today I learnt that `C-h e` is a shortcut for accessing the *Messages* buffer.
The Rust compiler is getting faster over time: http://t.co/NBeU5YJb7k
Moose is an excellent Pharo platform to play with, but there's quite a learning curve with image-based programming languages.
Periodically, I look at projects that challenge the status quo in tech. Today: Hierarchical File Systems are Dead http://t.co/uX8lF4DWhw
Wonderful to see Swift will be open source! I wasn't interested in investing effort in a proprietary language, so this changes everything.
Nim treats foo_bar equivalently to fooBar. Accommodating to the point of being boring! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9673782
icGrep claims up to 100x speedup over grep http://t.co/DTA6iPzuad -- perhaps an interesting ag alternative?
http://t.co/pBrC1IERZ4 is a gem of a site exploring sophisticated lisp macros.
Turns out it's possible to violate safety in Rust with Rc and integer overflow: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/rc-is-unsafe-mostly-on-32-bit-targets-due-to-overflow/2120
I've put on my retrocomputing hat today and emailed Symbolics regarding purchasing a license for Genera. I'm hoping it's cheap.
Today's hidden Emacs gem: pressing C-c C-b in an ielm buffer lets you associate it with a buffer, so you can inspect buffer-local variables.
Heterogeneous codebase optimisation with LLVM! Serious compiler framework leverage there. http://t.co/pZq60Kmt1A http://t.co/qpZINav2fd
Rule-Based Programming in Interactive Fiction http://t.co/y4gI5M6pRy fantastic cogent discussion of programming challenges in IF.
Brunch is a convention-over-configuration alternative to Gulp with a focus on high performance incremental builds: https://github.com/brunch/brunch-guide/blob/master/content/en/chapter01-whats-brunch.md
If I want to link to a specific heading on a webpage, I have to open a DOM inspector to find out if there is an ID. Is there no better way?
Nifty Emacs project of the day: tdd.el https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/emacs-tdd/ lets you run a compilation command on every save.
