One of the best disk utilities for Mac. Makes it so you can easily recover disk space and find large files and directories that you don't need anymore. Highly recommend this app to clean up your mac.

3DNES Emulator
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/03/how-a-new-emulator-generates-3d-scenes-from-2d-nes-games/
This emulator takes standard 2D NES games and makes them 3D. There's a beta out that you can checkout. Can't wait to see when someone combines this and on Oculus Rift.

If you didn't know, f.lux has a darkroom mode that's especially good at not killing your eyes during those really late night coding sessions. Highly recommended to keep your retinas intact.
AlphaGo: 3-1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaGo
AlphaGo is an Artificial Intelligence computer program designed to play the ancient (and difficult to master) game of Go at a world class level. Versus a world champion, it's up 3 to 1. This is a huge step forward in artificial intelligence and is a historic moment.
Leaf: Machine Intelligence Framework in Rust
https://github.com/autumnai/leaf
Leaf is a Machine Intelligence Framework engineered by software developers, not scientists. It was inspired by the brilliant people behind TensorFlow, Torch, Caffe, Rust and numerous research papers and brings modularity, performance and portability to deep learning. Leaf is lean and tries to introduce minimal technical debt to your stack.
Leaf is a few months old, but thanks to its architecture and Rust already one of the fastest Machine Intelligence Frameworks in the world.
Programming Rust: Fast, Safe Systems Development by Jim Blandy, Jason Orendorff
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920040385.do
The book Programming Rust is available from O'Reilly as a Early Release (raw and unedited). It looks like it's going to be a great book. It's still early goings and there's a lot of work to do, but it's very promising. Looking forward to getting a copy once I start diving further into Rust.

NSFW language. Academic paper reviews. Enough said.
Github adds reactions to Pull Requests, Issues, and Comments
https://github.com/blog/2119-add-reactions-to-pull-requests-issues-and-comments
Slack style emoji is now available on Github PRs, issues, and comments. Curious how this is going to go in the real world. I think it'll save us from all the :+1: comments on pull requests. Specifically, I'm thinking about the ones on open source stuff that's like "I want this, I want this too" etc. I wonder if there are reaction notifications...
New Name, New Home for the Let's Encrypt Client
https://letsencrypt.org/2016/03/09/le-client-new-home.html
Over the next few months the Let’s Encrypt client will transition to a new name (soon to be announced), and a new home at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
Not sure if this is a positive move at this point or not. Let's Encrypt barely had a chance to get their name out there and they are already changing it. Let's hope there's new momentum along with the changes.
Cloud Design Patterns: Prescriptive Architecture Guidance for Cloud Applications
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn600223.aspx
This is a great little library of common patterns found in modern distributed system. It runs the gamut from circuit breakers through valet key pattern (alphabetically speaking ;)). This is a resource I will definitely be using in the future to share my ideas to colleagues.
Factory SF 2016 Keynote Phoenix and Elm – Making the Web Functional
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ9ckqCMiKk
Two great talks, one keynote. Chris McCord and Evan Czaplicki (who's name I repeatedly butcher through the podcast) give talks on what the future of functional programming on the web is likely to be. If you are web developer looking to keep up to date with what the future is, this talk is for you.
