  1. Is YAML still the config file syntax of choice?
  2. @defunkt yeah, I realised that yesterday too. Nice stuff.
  3. Off to Cambridge for Fun in the Afternoon. http://sneezy.cs.nott.ac.uk/fun/
  4. Glad to see that Haskell 2010 is doing away with n+k patterns. http://bit.ly/6YK3uS
  5. Wrapping my head around JS.MethodChain. http://➡.ws/ﲪ嘉
  6. "No Erik, don't do it! n+k patterns are evil!"
  7. Solve little problems, and big ones melt away.
  8. All programmers go through a phase of employing excessive brevity. In the Haskell world, it can appear acceptable to stay there.
  9. @mojombo having URIs that corresponded to the tabs on the account page (/account#about, /account#email, /account#ssh etc.) would be nice.
  10. Just warming up for my second talk in two weeks. The last one was on Web Sockets, this one's about HTML5.
  11. @tnm8 not to mention spacetime issues: "The customer is always right" tends to be applied to all commerce, not just transactions in shops.
  12. @tnm8 I'd say the shop manager was misreading their response as a duty rather than a social pressure.
  13. @tnm8 "The customer must always be deferred to, even when incorrect"? There are two concepts of rightness at work in the phrase.
  14. Wikipedia funny of the day: the article on opaque contexts has been flagged as possibly "unclear or confusing to readers."
  15. Realised I didn't actually own a copy of On Liberty; passing a bookshop, I remedied the situation.
  16. Puzzled over a line in Michael Potter's set theory book for a good ten minutes earlier. Reading the errata, I discovered it was a typo.
  17. Programmers are funny people. A man on the train tried to convince me to learn C++ once.
  18. I highly recommend ClickToFlash, a Flash blocker for Safari. Make the web fast again: http://➡.ws/c2f
  19. Micro Men, a BBC drama about the rivalry between Clive Sinclair and Chris Curry, is much recommended. http://➡.ws/崾䁀
  20. Somebody's been busy making @github more shiny again. I do like seeing subtle, incremental changes; more websites should do it.
