  5. http://stevehanov.ca/blog/ -- Updates infrequently. Very good programming articles. http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/ -- Updates infrequently. Good articles on Linux and Programming.

  7. It's interesting, because that has really nothing to do with email or RSS as protocols, it's purely a social convention that daily/weekly aggregations get sent as newsletters rather than published as RSS feeds. As a counterexample, I follow Leah Neukirchen's Trivium , which is a feed that publishes a weekly post with a bunch of interesting links (mostly tech related). http://chneukirchen.org/trivium/intro And of cou…

  9. Here are a bunch of blogs from my RSS reader that I think are worth reading. Some of them haven't updated in a while, but the archives may be worth a look anyway. * Blogs with a math focus: http://blog.sigfpe.com http://bit-player.org http://mathr.co.uk/blog/ https://www.johndcook.com/blog/ * Blogs with a programming languages focus: https://existentialtype.wordpress.com https://bluishcoder.co.nz http://blog.ezyang.…

  11. I'm a big fan of saving history - trying to remember all the shell based commands we use is a nightmare! If you're using zsh, a tip I picked up from [0] was to alias all your common commands like 'cd', 'ls' 'fg'... to: ' cd' ' ls' ' fg' ... Then add the following line to your zshrc to ignore lines prepended with a space: setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE This keeps your history cleaner from any ls, cd, fg inputs you use. [0]…

  21. I'm not sure. I honestly think it's a culture thing. Many Lisp communities embrace continuations, but everyone else rightly shies away because they make your head hurt. Ruby(!) supports them, so it might be possible for Rails to create something like the pattern I mentioned. In fact, Ruby people use continuations for a few things like the built-in Generator class and making "restartable exceptions" so the thrower ca…

  25. I use `mess` [1]. Short descrption: New stuff that is not filed away instantly goes into a folder "current" linked to the youngest folder in a tree (mess_root > year > week). If needed at a later time: file it accordingly, otherwise old folders are purged if disk space is low. Taking it a step further: synching everything across work and personal machines using `syncthing`. [1] http://chneukirchen.org/blog/archive/2…

  27. The idea is hardly unique, what matters more is that you have to somehow agree to the choice of content presented by the author of the summary in question. I'm doing one of these myself for a few months, over at http://f5n.org/stack/ (and it consists at least 50% of HN content, so I didn't post it here as of yet.) As I've also written somewhere my inspirations were http://www.foldl.org/ and http://chneukirchen.org/t…
