Do programs increase in entropy over time? I suspect so, but how can we measure that?

No Sane Compiler Would Optimize Atomics https://github.com/jfbastien/papers/blob/master/source/N4455.rst [cue evil laugh]
LLVM's libfuzzer is catching both interesting bugs and issues like exponential performance! Nifty. http://t.co/OYJyVrBek2
The React team is moving from Gulp to Broccoli: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QZxArgMwidgCrAbuSikcB2iBxkffH6w0YB0C1qCsuH0/preview?pli=1&sle=true -- the JS ecosystem moves so fast! (I'm still on Grunt.)
Devops Reactions beautifully summarising yak shaving: http://t.co/a0d6wwYB7o
I ported a project today from npm+bower to entirely npm. It works really well! Bower fetches from VCS, but npm has 'proper' file uploads.
I'm biting the bullet and moving to jQuery 2 for some projects. I feel a vague sense of guilt.
A Synthetic Theory Of Monitoring: http://t.co/omCnqcfQqd Effectively choosing, collecting and viewing the right metrics is hard.
Wow! It's now possible to syntax highlight in vim by running your code through clang! https://github.com/jeaye/color_coded
I like Backbone. There are tons of great online resources and if you're unsure, it doesn't take long to read the relevant source code.
TOML is growing on me. YAML is complex and JSON lacks comments, but TOML feels like it hits a sweet spot.

Rust 1.0-beta has a really interesting approach to integer overflow checks, default enabling them for debug builds: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0560-integer-overflow.md
That happy feeling when you replace some handwritten code with an off-the-shelf library.
I've built a self-hosting metawiki! Demo site available at http://t.co/CS9NDfUXx4
I find putting a coveralls.io badge on my projects is a great incentive to review my tests and what functionality I'm exercising.
Considering how heavily node.js uses callbacks, it seems rather odd that it doesn't support TCO (I know it's hard in JS).
The arguments variable in JS is always there, but taking a parameter called 'arguments' overrides it in all scopes. It's a pseudo keyword!
Slightly terrified to learn that (boundp 'foo) is equivalent to (boundp' foo) in elisp. Made a typo, and it worked!
I like that if you make changes to answer on Stack Overflow, then immediately edit again, you can just continue where you left off. Humane.
