You might be interested in Conal Eliott's work on Compiling to Categories, which enables automatic diagram extraction (among a bunch of other things) for Haskell.
It's also tied to some pretty old versions of Python and various libraries, and people often need help just getting the development server going.
Not a M:TG player (any more) but I am fairly keen on Android:Netrunner, a reprint of one of Richard Garfield's other designs.
The Grumpy Programmer - "RFIDs, Encryption, and Stop Rules... Oh My!" -- A bit rambly in the middle, but an interesting post on trying to get people to look past their cached thoughts.
Thankfully I don't have anything like that. Mentally telling myself "yes, I see that I've turned off the stove" is sufficient.
Whenever I left home after making a cooked breakfast, I would worry that I'd left the gas on. I'd always have to go back and check, but of course the burner was off. I've fixed this by noticing that I have noticed that I've turned off the gas. Is there a common name for this pattern?
I was tasked to replace it, because it apparently tested better. The timing of the reddit thread linked by asd was just coincidence.
I was disappointed with Mind Hacks, which felt like a pile of "hey, isn't it interesting that your brain does X", for various X. Mind Performance Hacks was better ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Performance-Hacks-Tools-Overclocking/dp/0596101538 ), but covers a lot of things you could just find on the Mentat Wiki ( http://www.ludism.org/mentat/ ).
When did you last try? You should be able to more-or-less go git checkout -> vagrant up and have everything pretty much ready to go. https://github.com/tricycle/lesswrong/wiki/Development-VM-Image
Part of my job is to review pull requests.
I opened a poll about this on a previous open thread, but it was when the thread was nearly over so it didn't get many responses.
Quoting from the other thread about downvote stalking:
I'm messaging you because you're the moderator who commented most recently.
Apparently something went wrong while JoshuaFox was submitting his meetup and it made some dupes. I've removed them.
philh is correct, and nothing I pushed should've changed the sidebar behaviour.
For those that are worried about meetup attendance being affected:
- The sidebar should not be changed,
- The list of upcoming meetups is still where it was at http://lesswrong.com/meetups/
How many people discover meetups through /r/discussion as opposed to the sidebar and /meetups? Perhaps I should poll this:
Before this change, how did you discover LW meetups? If none apply, please write in.

As per issue #389, I've just pushed a change to meetups. All future meetup posts will be created in /r/meetups to un-clutter /r/discussion a little bit.
Can you additionally try clearing cookies and see if that helps?
This was an A/B test gone awry. It has since been turned off.
That private message was part of a new feature to encourage wiki participation, by helping existing Less Wrong users onto wiki accounts. Unfortunately the link to create an account didn't point to the right place.
If you tried to create a wiki account and had the brief flash of "submitting" (like Pfft), make sure you've got a validated email address associated with your account.
