What is the most readable programming language? (I have an opinion but I want to know what others think.) Not asking for favorite language, but easiest to read.

#programming

Oh yes as many physical buttons as possible.

One of my dreams is to start a company that makes really good appliances and home electronics that never connect to the internet. I’d start with a TV and then move on to washing machines and dishwashers etc. I’d call it something like dumbcorp or whatever.

I didn’t realize The GAP sold so many different qualities of Pizza.

July 27th is my birthday and this year I’m trying the fundraiser path, raising money for the BCSPCA. I will match whatever is raised (up to $2000). Facebook fundraiser but any mutual of mine that is not a fan of my employer can DM me a receipt and I’ll match that. www.facebook.com/donate/19549...

I hate when they won’t let people off in those cases. You got water at least?

I’m so excited that in 2026 all the Apple operating systems will look like Windows Vista. Oh how the turn tables.

The dream of every backend engineer must be something like working at the CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency) where they have a 3 hour maintenance window EVERY DAY. www.canada.ca/en/revenue-a...

Slay the spire and monster train are on Apple Arcade.

Monster train 2 out in a month too (on steam at least).

(Plus the most "talented" arms in NFL history, along with a few of the best throws from my career)This video is exactly what it sounds like! Let's learn how ... How to Throw a Football by Tom Brady

I'm so sick of so called "Youtube Influencers" making tutorials as if they are experts in topics, case in point: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv5p...

A screenshot of cwebber saying she doesn’t know what a humor is.

But bluesky is decentralized! There is a thread here and on the fediverse (like bluesky but like email) where some new person asked for blogposts I’m sure you could find some info in those threads.

Save 20% on Lab Rat on Steam A metrics-obsessed AI will monitor, profile, and entertain you as you progress through over a hundred genre-bending puzzles in this delightfully satirical adventure.

New indie game by an acquaintance of mine Lab Rats came out yesterday and it’s really good. Give it a try: store.steampowered.com/app/1304610/...

A colorful, cartoon-style used car dealership inspired by Sesame Street. The lot is decorated with bright streamers and balloons, and a cheerful sign reads “Sunny Street Used Cars.” Friendly puppet characters with big eyes and fuzzy textures are interacting with smiling cars that have animated faces. One puppet is dancing on top of a red car, while another holds balloons. The background features colorful buildings under a clear blue sky, creating a playful, family-friendly atmosphere

Facebook reminded me that my last GDC was 13 years ago :( I miss being a game developer so much. Hopefully one day I’ll get back to my real passion.

Don’t forget Canada!

Just to be clear, language and framing is really important,

BUT

EVEN IF someone I trust said “We don’t know why this is, but putting the word tomato at the beginning of every sentence seems to help reduce systemic racism”

I’d be like “Tomatofuckyes I’ll do it. Tomato tomato tomato.”

Looking for advice: I am about to need to convert a sizeable amount of USD to CAD. Last time I did it I just used RBC and I got a much worse than mid market rate. I can’t be the only tech person on my bluesky feed that sells USD RSUs, what do the rest of you do?

Song I’ve been thinking a lot about lately for some reason https://buff.ly/3WMd934

A main paints over a wall full of "values" like fluff on a wall at the FBI. The new paint is a bland grey to symbolize the pettiness and lack of emotion from the current administration. The image was posted to the subreddit r/pics with the title "Painting over core values at the FBI" and has the tag "Arts/Crafts"

I love that this post on reddit was tagged as "Arts/Crafts"

Whoa, Canada! Don’t Make Our Mistake in New Zealand | The Tyee Out of frustration we tried electing right-wing populists. Now things are worse.

I'm really hoping Canadians will learn from what's happening in other countries and choose a different road.

Headline reading “Scientists Find Popular Drink Linked to Over 330,000 Deaths a Year”

Can’t be water, that’s linked to way more.

Apropos of nothing but maybe I should start posting LEWIN WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING randomly now and then to act more presidential.

My sons asked me questions.

And got their logo wrong.

TikTok does this well.

There is couple on the train to the Seahawks game with me that look like an nfl gear advert. She has a Seahawks shirt and bag and a lions hat. He has a 49ers hat and a KC shirt

There have always been scammers and will always be scammers but the latest developments in AI are going to hit differently.
