Programmer humour from a while back:

In [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers @jpluimers: Every now and then editing @uptimerobot entries failed. Just “HTTP Error 503.4 – Service Unavailable The FastCGI pool queue is full” 1/2 I found out that UptimeRobot:
There is also a maintenance page at uptimerobot.com/maintenance.php#tvMode [Archive.is] and uptimerobot.com/maintenance.php?c-e [Archive.is]. If you get to those, then retry in ~10 minutes as sometimes it takes that long for an update to be processed.
Sometimes setting up multiple Android devices for the same uptimerobot account can be a bit of a hassle: [WayBack] Uptime Robot on Twitter: “Once logged in to the account from another Andriod device, that device will be added as an alert contact too.… “.
All in all it is still a nice tool (:

Ah, C. The best lingua franca we have… because we have no other lingua francas. Linguae franca. Surgeons general? C is fairly old — 44 years, now! — and comes from a time when there were possibly more architectures than programming languages. It works well for what it is, and what it is is a relatively simple layer of indirection atop assembly. Alas, the popularity of C has led to a number of programming languages’ taking significant cues from its design, and parts of its design are… slightly questionable. I’ve gone through some common features that probably should’ve stayed in C and my justification for saying so. The features are listed in rough order from (I hope) least to most controversial. The idea is that C fans will give up when I call it “weakly typed” and not even get to the part where I rag on braces. Wait, crap, I gave it away.
Great re-read towards the end of the year: [WayBack] Let’s stop copying C / fuzzy notepad

Via [WayBack] Graph of programming languages influence poster – nice gift idea for programmers… – This is why I Code – Google+:
A network graph with more than a thousand programming languages connected by influence relations. Highly influential languages like Lisp, Smalltalk, C, Java, Pascal, C++, Haskel or Python are shown as larger circles as compared to languages with little influence on others like PHP or Argh!. / The influence relation data was retrieved from Freebase in 2013. This design available on posters and other products. An awesome gift for programmers who are into digital art. • Also buy this artwork on wall prints, apparel, kids clothes, and more.

I wonder how they drew the relations and why certain languages are in certain places.
