ladies, is your programming - a field dominated by rich white men - driven by fashion trends - practiced as a demonstration of status - funded by vanity projects for failsons - filled with queers trying and failing to break even that's art, sorry
I donโt know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going โThis will never work, Iโm a failureโ, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

@avilewis.ca, head of the NDP (and husband of @naomiaklein.bsky.social) wants the Canadian government to rescue BioWare. Good for him. It's vital to do everything we can, however futile, to try to stop the Reapers, oops I mean investment funds from destroying everything.

They'll say it's AI, but yes, it's true, you really can host a block party on your street for Halloween - for free. Here's where you can get details and apply (until October 28!): survey123.arcgis.com/share/a9fa7f... (p.s. it's not AI)

Last year you told us what to fix. This year we shipped a new go fix. Coincidence? Not entirely. The 2026 Go Developer Survey is open through Nov 3 -- tell us whatโs next: blink.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Behold! Two shirts, both alike in dignity. One, celebrates the past, 20 bus routes of stamps adorn its back. The other, a cream colored vision of the present that demands you adorn your 3-D glasses now.

@scarlettohairdye.bsky.social apparently, in Baltimore: only as much as 1k. You get to feed the red pandas and learn more about their behind the scenes care! No guarantee of pets though.
If you have some extra time in Baltimore next year: www.wbaltv.com/article/mary...

Decades of bungie games have trained me specifically to get the sticky grenade onto your head for maximum 'splode. Not because it may do more damage, but because it's simply personally satisfying.
maybe your game isn't about that, cool - have all the visualizations you want, but if it *is*, showing a projectile arc pre-emptively robs me of mastery! I will not feel satisfied for throwing the thing, i will not get better at throwing the thing, it will not feel like a physical object
