@chetfaliszek I think sports are changing, though. "Stays the same for 100 years" won't be valued by future generations, or even the next one.

@codinghorror
@marcgravell @joebrowns This is insane

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout @Hanzo55 Right but this is meta — it is a story with choices about them creating a story with choices

@rands This is why everyone should set up recurring monthly donations to Internet Archive. Web rot is very real and quite bad

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
you may recognize this @burtonachitect

@codinghorror
Also excellent use of music licensing, particuarly the Led Zeppelin. Has special meaning at the end, too.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles We should kickstart that sentiment somehow. I'm still down for anti-kickstarter where you pay people NOT to make and do things.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hyperplanes Now you’re talking

@codinghorror
@scottmichaud @tsancio It says tencent owns 40%

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@niralfasi I'm pretty sure that's not what I said, but you're free to your own interpretation.

@codinghorror
@jcoehoorn with kids in my experience they do save a number of break situations, mostly the glass type protectors. For adults I'll agree with you.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kirkwoll a) yes, it is b) Title: "The Imposter's Handbook" c) if you genuinely want someone's professional people-pay-for-this-thing work to look the best it can to the world, start with the title?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drunknbass does that help with dust particles though? 🤔

@JayHanlon @kirkwoll @nberardi @robconery @SaraJChipps isn't arguing WHAT CHRISTMAS IS FOR JAY
I MEAN COME ON
I MEAN COME ON

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kirkwoll @nberardi @robconery @SaraJChipps anyway, I will now cease being on-brand just for @JayHanlon
YOU'RE WELCOME
YOU'RE WELCOME

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kirkwoll @nberardi @robconery @SaraJChipps I mean it's not like I bought this PDF and I'm complaining a single word on page 50 is wrong. It's literally the first thing you see.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kirkwoll @nberardi @robconery @SaraJChipps Remember we're talking about the *title* here, not a word 20 paras in. For a resume, that'd be like spelling your own name wrong, conceptually, or the name of the company you sent the resume to.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kirkwoll @nberardi @robconery @SaraJChipps I don't think a spelling mistake in the title of a professional work that you're selling for money, should be considered a "minor detail". Opinions could vary, I guess? Maybe spelling mistakes in resumes don't matter either? 🤷♂️

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kirkwoll @nberardi @robconery @SaraJChipps It isn't pedantry; "impostor" is the correct spelling of the word.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kirkwoll @nberardi @robconery @SaraJChipps that ship sadly sailed in March 2018, when Rob mailed me the words "f**k you". Wait, my apologies. That isn't correct. What was mailed was "go f**k yourself." I will indeed do that, I guess, but I'd also advise my fellow peers to pay attention to details, like spelling.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JayHanlon @SaraJChipps @shanselman @robconery Personally, I subscribe to the "every email you write will eventually be published on the front page of the New York Times" theory.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JayHanlon @SaraJChipps @shanselman @robconery One might wonder how it is that a person would privately send emails exhibiting the very same sort of toxicity that they were complaining they were the victim of 🤔 https://t.co/7kQXiIn3tV

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SaraJChipps @shanselman @robconery yeah, I'm looking at my emails from Rob circa March 2018 that contain "f**k you" and I'm cool with that.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@smlpth @shanselman @robconery Yeah, that's probably why the last email Rob sent to me on March 18th, 2018, had the words "f**k you" in it, I guess.

@kevindente The controller pairing is super complicated to me, I struggle every time, other than that I like it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente Nintendo is its own world of extremely pricey first party games, so I try to buy as many physical carts as I can

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente I try to only buy carts for switch otherwise you can’t use them between switches. Digital purchases are kind of a trap on the switch.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@richalvarezjr @shanselman @robconery Yeah rich white guys have a lot to teach people about impostor syndrome, for sure

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente Yeah you always gotta grab the updates the night before. Pre-load.

@codinghorror
@bhilburn @shanselman @robconery 🤷♂️the computer doesn't seem to like it when I misspell language keywords either

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_s_hari @shanselman @robconery ask yourself, are you even good enough to have impostor syndrome in the first place?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman @robconery Marry Christmas

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman @robconery 🤷♂️

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman @robconery It certainly associates the work with being substandard, if that's the goal

@jeffehobbs @theratsass 845 is iPhone 6-ish, 855 should be 6s-7-ish, that's good enough. Still super sucks but they're in the ballpark at least. They went from F to C

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
seriously, some of these battery replacement steps are *terrifying*

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Looks like the culprit was some "step tracking" app, though there was a "ram cleaner" installed too. Anyway, things are better temporarily on the Pixel 3

@codinghorror
@kclemson @Carnage4Life being aggro is a really effective life skill, basically. Sad but true. Squeaky wheels GET greased. Quiet ones.. don't. Basically this https://t.co/hZbbag7oRp

@kevindente I was an only child so I had kinda the opposite problem

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donpark @Carnage4Life Yeah never apologizing is definitely not good advice. The Canadians have this right.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life Looks like it got deleted

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codemonkey_uk There are ways to deal with this, though, it isn’t an impossible problem https://t.co/al5WNJJNlU

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@arclight @RichFelker first, that's kind of a sexist term, and second, being technically correct is the best kind of correct

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life also I want to give a shout out to Strikeforce: Moritiuri which was wayyy ahead of its time. The terrorism angle, plus, nobody dies in comics? These characters ALWAYS die.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life I remember buying each new issue of Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns as they were released in the mid-80s and just having my mind totally fucking blown away

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mahemoff @jeremyBanks @xamat I pretty much did, there is a bit more to say but this is 75% of it https://t.co/QpiBf849bw

@codinghorror
@wilshipley I need you to delete this tweet kthxbye

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chriscoyier wooo heart surgeon here I come toot toot

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jeremyBanks @xamat I have a different opinion about that but it cannot fit through the 280 char Twitter tubes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life It was never that promising if you watched the details of what they were doing

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@arclight @RichFelker So is the computer. It is an occupational hazard.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles One thing I have noticed about talented people — they will work absurdly hard on even relatively trivial (to other people) stuff.

@codinghorror
Also if you're wondering "gosh, why is Stack Overflow SO DARN STRICT ABOUT EVERYTHING".. uh, see the above ⬆⬆⬆⬆

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
"Quora embodies what I fear most about the idea of ever starting a VC-backed co...that once you accept money it is very hard to return it and if your burn rate is low you could just 'exist' for years without actually succeeding or accomplishing much at all."

@ftrain I drew a picture of you, Mr. Train

“a team from Scotland’s Heriot-Watt University found that its Alexa bot developed a nasty personality when they trained her to chat using comments from Reddit, whose members are known for their trolling and abuse.” 🤔 https://t.co/JPie34WncP

@asmartbear open source changes those figures in radical ways, though

@codinghorror
@ondrejsynacek I'm quite sure @sarahjeong is not lazy, quite the opposite!

@Gryzor this is why adblock matters, it's not that much about the actual ads, it's about not having a terrible experience

@codinghorror
@nanotek911 @JosephRooks yes, this is true, they have the "other half" of the email puzzle piece. Emails sent to you from people that have agreed to let their entire email / address book get slurped up.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GregAFish I *guarantee* you, I absolutely *guarantee* you that these kids use Instagram, and probably Whatsapp as well. Without a doubt. Therefore, it doesn't matter, they are still in Facebook's maw.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@triniwiz @cramforce @ryanworl @Qualcomm why would anyone complain? There's zero meaningful competition in Android SoC. There's not even Intel vs. AMD or Coke vs. Pepsi.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nabeel well yeah, that's why we founded @discourse in 2012 .. I'm skating to where the puck is going, man!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dfabu @cramforce @ryanworl @Qualcomm it's a marginal suggestion, and reinforces bad decisionmaking, the kind that got us here in the first place.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JosephRooks I doubt that. Prove me wrong.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JosephRooks no, I don't think so. I've never had any kind of Facebook account (or any Facebook owned company). Try finding data about me on Facebook.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mtjohnson01 programming = suffering

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cramforce @ryanworl @Qualcomm If you want to see real speed, perhaps consider upgrading to any recent iPhone

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cramforce @ryanworl @Qualcomm Pointless to worry about cpu, it is effectively infinite already on iOS, and even with Qualcomm’s incompetence, will be within 4 more years on their embarrassing SoCs as well

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cramforce @ryanworl @Qualcomm The influential users who spend money tend to be, I’ll tell you that.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cramforce @ryanworl @Qualcomm It is not at all on the iOS side. On the Android side if you are lucky enough to have a 2018 era 845 device (because what other SoC options do you have on Android, there are none), then 4x cpu slowdown isn’t correct either.
