TIL that you can replay a git bisect log: https://stackoverflow.com/q/8594758/509706 (really handy if you make a mistake: edit the bad actions out of the log)

The End of Global CSS: https://medium.com/seek-ui-engineering/the-end-of-global-css-90d2a4a06284 -- local reasoning is a major benefit of this approach
I am blown away by the error highlighting in @rustlang nightly! I love the "... and here" text for duplicate errors.
Embracing Conway's law, and why it sometimes makes sense to build your own:
On choosing abstractions, and the consequences of being expert friendly in DSLs:
What are the main drivers of Rust compilation time? Monomorphisation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12269950
Writing small linters using mini parsers: https://blog.acolyer.org/2016/05/31/how-to-build-static-checking-systems-using-orders-of-magnitude-less-code/ (interesting approach, but they must have corner cases)
Superb post on writing OS exception handlers in Rust (with a small dose of asm): https://os.phil-opp.com/better-exception-messages.html (has great worked examples)
I'm increasingly thinking that comments are more trouble than they're worth. If a PL just had strings, code rewriting tools would be easier.
TIL about -cut, a really neat macro in dash.el for partially applying functions using placeholders:
How popular is @magnars' dash.el? Well, even the last Emacs maintainer has contributed to it!
(In my current keyfreq history, I have isearch-exit at 530 calls, but highlight-symbol-next at 1017 calls!)
Emacs command of the day: highlight-symbol-next from https://github.com/nschum/highlight-symbol.el . I use it more than incremental search!
Archy was an amazing UI with persistence, modeless ZUI and an Emacs influence! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archy Why hadn't I seen this before?
