The Genius website has an interesting design reminiscent of traditional hypertext. E.g. http://t.co/6dM8XY8syw
miniblog.
The Rust community continues to impress. Rustdoc has gained the ability for users to do Hoogle-style search by type!
It would be really interesting to add FIX/TIDY/FEAT to commit messages. You could then look at which lines change for fixes vs features.
Looked at a online community today with discussions going back to before 2001. Not many sites last that long!

Undeployed code is almost always a liability. Deploy early and often.
Emacs' hexl-mode is smart enough to ignore line breaks in the ASCII display. Impressive! http://t.co/cLvuQFTb4R
Emacs feature of the day: `M-x calc' supports a dizzying range of arithmetic with arbitrary precision, and keybindings like M-/ work too!
A healthy server setup is one where you can restart a box without fear. It often takes work to reach that point sadly.
What are the disadvantages of open source projects growing? Are there diseconomies of scale?
TinyCC is so fast at compiling that you *can boot Linux from source*. Extraordinary! http://t.co/DQ8ueLPR2b
Fascinating rust compiler deep-dive on the steps necessary to implement incremental compilation:
Excellent example of using ghp-import to generate a gh-pages branch with your HTML docs: http://t.co/40un66gbMB
Developing Windows-friendly Python modules written in C is *hard*. http://t.co/HjjLKa2bDa Microsoft ships a compiler just for this!
Analysis of linguistic structure in doge: http://t.co/81vsFziBMr I particularly like the example of someone *correcting* unidiomatic doge!
