@superhawk610 @oceantianshi most of the misunderstanding stems from a deep conceptual misunderstanding of what Stack Overflow actually *is*. https://t.co/3CJPyrHDZa

@gmcconnaughey @discourse we use Mattermost (open source Slack) for short term memory chats but all medium and long term memory is in Discourse where it is 1000x more accessible and searchable ;)

@stevesi @DisplayMate I am still enraged that there are no OLED monitors

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi @johnolilly it's weird to print money by shipping hardware instead of software IMO. Maybe over time the price of both trends to zero and it's all usage-based subscriptions in the end.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @stevesi in my opinion cloud margins are currently way, WAY too fat. They're basically printing money. Hoping more competition tightens that over time, and we have seen that for example with S3 storage pricing graphed over the last 10 years.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @stevesi ah yes this https://t.co/2HJYc49bgh -- if it is a core competency, you should own it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nicksahler Yes, we bought common misspellings of Discourse and still carry them as redirects as well

@codinghorror
@drewtetz have you considered the Patreon route like Dr. Popular?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drewtetz this implies you are selling to people / entities who don't have a bunch of money, themselves. So maybe the target audience you're selling to is not the right (e.g. rich businesses) one?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edenthecat @waxpancake has to be regional

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @edenthecat I've never ever heard this

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@atmcarmo @TiagoDevezas it's worse than that -- even the brand new snapdragon 855 isn't quite as fast as Ye Olde iPhone 7. Qualcomm 👎

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cherimarie @alicegoldfuss this is not a good way to do business, if you are petty like this to potential *hires*, that means you are probably much meaner to everyone else

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@alicegoldfuss Wait, why would they rescind? Wouldn't it be the case that a candidate would negotiate up, the company would say "no thanks" and then it is a take-it-or-leave-it? They really RESCIND, as in pull the offer entirely? That seems incredibly petty.

@tlhunter I've only ever written capital letters 😬

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz I am guessing MS Edge screws this up as well then

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RogerFC This implies Edge and (possibly) Safari are doing it wrong, which is what I was trying to figure out.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@xor Aha, I can repro it in MS Edge. Perhaps Safari does as well, hard for me to test as I'm not on OS X.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gu3st there's some subtlety here I am missing, because I can't get it to happen at all in Firefox/Private or Chrome/Incognito.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bluechoochoo I can *only* trigger this in MS Edge though, I cannot get it to happen in Chrome Incognito or Firefox Private. How odd.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bluechoochoo Finally got it in MS Edge, it's down lower in the article. Very interesting. https://t.co/oqLfsWPVSB

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@xor How do I repro this? I've tried in Chrome and Firefox. Let me try Edge.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bluechoochoo wait how do I repro this, I've tried incognito in Chrome and private in Firefox.. it's not happening for me.. what URL triggers this?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SamRueby no I meant, more sides = less random, which does turn out to be true at least for plastic dice. I need to find someone testing metal dice..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
“The simplest method of testing the balance of your dice is to float them in a glass of salted water“ https://t.co/2cAnLiXChA

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
It does seem to be generally true that in dice, more sides = less fair https://t.co/hpIF0UxM5f

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SamRueby So it is impossible to do once the number of sides is more than 12?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@antonioperic doesn't fold

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake this was legit better than the movie

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@guelo I'm not sure they're fully "invented" at the moment

@sfyoyos you're crossing the streams man, never cross the streams, we covered this https://t.co/LUBLjLzBAI

But for real I want to try one. It is sorta like holding a mini-laptop, or something? How awkward is it to use day to day?

@SaraJChipps what's not to love about nature's green mayo

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
this... this... this.. was not a "best picture". I do not recommend this movie.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I knew 10 minutes in at some point the stuffy classical piano player would be juke joint boogie-woogie-ing and of *course* of COURSE this happens

Jeff Atwood

@codinghorror
@wilshipley @blaine @timbray This jibes with my opinion that this is the job of the OS, and outsourcing it to a third party is a recipe for failure

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fisadev pay for 2 cores, get one core with one hyperthread. That's how it seems to be working.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DonMacAskill The implications for colocating even modest metal are big though. Even 12 "vCPUs" isn't as fast as 6 real CPUs, as you can see here https://t.co/Tlh3H4pKS4

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sh4na Agree that a math teacher should not be in the business of failing students “for life” at math.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie Oh yes I need to see this thanks for the reminder

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sh4na Math has so little to do with programming, honestly literature is a better background

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@acostrian @mikeloss They are both great imo

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
TL;DR .. this movie was a spiritual sequel to the "Turn Down For What" music video. That ... works for me.

@nicksahler you also get to see the liberty bell melted down and recast into a swastika, that was fucking hard to watch

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nicksahler one of the more biting moments in Man in the High Castle ... part of the American Reich citizenship test they talked about in passing, where you had to know details of how many Indians were killed, and how many slaves Jefferson and Washington owned 😱

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@IngridMorstrad @RSchlnvoigt Yes, you are missing quite a lot

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@patio11 @QuinnyPig Or colocate hardware and pay 1/10the price ;) granted you give up nominal meteor strike protection, though it does depend somewhat on the size of the meteor

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
also shout out to @SuperDalgas who *INSISTED* that we see this movie in the theater. Of course I was skeptical, and the theater was almost empty. But of course we loved it. How could you not?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Can you imagine if the studio had put goddamn Chumbawumba in this movie
