i hope this email kills us both instantly

if you're and indie dev it's your sacred mission to hide some inexplicable shit in the files of the game and never, ever explain yourself. it keeps things interesting. everyone loves it even when they hate it i promise

you know that saying, being loved to the point of invention? so my sister and i used to really go all out for birthdays for each other when we lived together, once i moved i tried but it’s a lot harder and than covid happened and i was broke in uni so life just didnt allow for it. anyways next year is our first year being together again for her birthday (she moves in may in shaa Allah), so i wanted to give her something meaningful since its been a considerable amount of time since I last did something special

shes a popular food blogger, really passionate about it too (website + all the socials, i have no idea how she does it), i’ve decided to make her an app to host her recipes, its crazy cos normally i spend SO much time in planning purgatory, i never actually start anything, this time i was like fuck it just start, i can refactor later and tbh i’m so excited

its the really early stages, like I just about have the foundation set up, I’m working on the homepage now, i managed to scrape all her recipes (198 of them, imagine!)

i still have a lot to do for june but im really excited

I love getting so in depth, so low level into a piece of technology that you get to see the bullshit naming conventions the creators thought were funny and/or cool. Like why the fuck does my storage system need a “watchdog” and why does it need to be “fed” and “tickled.”

thinking about how i started this account during my a levels to keep me motivated to learn and share, used it all through uni , and today i got promoted from trainee to dev… see you when i’m senior <333

coding got me saying shit like “target the child” “assign its class” “override its inheritance” like the third wife of a dying oil baron discovering his of-age son born out of wedlock

How CAPTCHAs are Powering the Future’s Cars… and Drones

Have you ever stopped to wonder why, when attempting to enter a website, you are suddenly asked to prove your own humanity? And furthermore,

This is horrifyingly true.

Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments

San Jose invited tech companies to mount cameras on a vehicle in what appears to be first-of-its-kind experiment

If you get a captcha asking you to identify the tents or the RV's, request a new captcha. Stop snitching now includes making sure you're logging in online ethically I guess?

Life in Code: A Personal History of Technology

by Ellen Ullman

[bemusedlybespectacled]

a while back I made a post along the lines of "every STEM major should have a required 'history of science' course that's just all about previously wrong and bad scientific theories like sperm all containing homunculi and spontaneous generation" and I got a lot of responses like "but STEM majors already have gen ed requirements!" and would not understand why I was specifically asking for a course that would teach people about why science is not infallible and does not exist in a vacuum and THIS IS EXACTLY WHY ACTUALLY
