@cramforce @ryanworl @Qualcomm Slow devices still exist because the cancer that is Qualcomm has prevented meaningful SoC competition in Android devices over the last 4 years. And today!

@triniwiz @cramforce @ryanworl @Qualcomm https://t.co/ZWZdqlTqXY Spoiler: things still aren’t fixed, almost 4 years later.

@cramforce @ryanworl and I have zero empathy for @qualcomm. Fuck Qualcomm, they're terrible at their jobs. I hope they go out of business and the ground their company existed on is plowed with salt so nothing can ever grow there again.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cramforce @ryanworl we've been trending towards infinite CPU speed for decades now (and we've been asymptotically there for ~5 years on desktop), what we are not and will never trend towards is infinite bandwidth. Optimize for the things that matter.

@codinghorror
@Jestingrabbit I've visited Sydney, and I feel your pain.. mostly latency though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cramforce @ryanworl Literally any phone of vintage iPhone 6 or greater is basically as fast as the "average" laptop. You have to understand how brutally bad Qualcomm is at their job. Look it up if you don't believe me.

@baconmeteor this is wonderful, thank you. Weapons-grade mustard.

@codinghorror
@stevesi ah yeah the old Sony monitors

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ryanworl unrealistic if you have a modern iPhone. Proper for all Android devices though 🔥

@cisellis I unlocked the Wii Fit lady!!

@brendanreville @stevesi @verge did he lead everyone in an exercise programs of side bends and sit-ups?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drewtetz I fully support this initiative

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OH_NOES not much prior legal "art" on this at all though, compare to sampling and music

@zippy1981 you gotta research before asking. This is Q&A 101

@codinghorror
I thought Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus was a bit of a disappointing game in terms of actual *gameplay*, but the story part was actually kinda incredible

@codinghorror
@snemarch It is ... big time weird on a keyboard

I needed 4k Katamari in my life so bad right now https://t.co/4LwH84qAsK

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@patrickmi @brianly @stevesi JS perf relates directly to single-threaded perf... and efficiency. In general the faster chips are on newer processes, so they get more work done faster and thus get to idle faster, resulting in a net power savings (for the same workload) as well.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SebAaltonen Anything under 288hz is a massive competitive disadvantage IMO

@jessamyn I never understood how bad and invasive starlings were until season 1 of Ozark.. https://t.co/tDq6VS4hQv

@sdepouw It has been a few months but I got it to work. It is an awkward setup for sure, the way Twitter has it implemented

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sdepouw You can add it and then remove it. This works, I have done it recently

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life And threaded conversations ended up being an anti-feature for the most part

@paulg A certain amount of inefficiency is by design in government. Checks and balances.. when they're actually working, that is!

@textfiles This guy is.. kinda .. far .. out there.. man.. "Apparently it was the wrong response as [my son] later decided to become a girl." https://t.co/zzzEJeLic1

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles that is actually super bizarre

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles Pretty spendy, so for an average 144 pages issue, that'd be ~$72 .. not cheap at scale!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles How much do commercial scanning services cost, just out of curiosity? Per page?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@realkpfleming both not actual words!

@mathowie If it bleeds it leads

@PREMIUMPONCHO @drewtetz Magiski seems fine?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles Apparently I pay some jackass to make a podcast

@stevesi mornings should be outlawed

@getify I do think online tools make screening a whole lot better than 10 years ago, or 20 years ago

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@modernserf @getify @eddroid @raganwald Personally, I was surprised that it happened *at all*.. it's like hiring for "truck drivers" and people show up who don't know how a steering wheel and gas pedal work

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@proguerammer @_paperino I think the Firestarter one is considerably better

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_paperino Wow. Jimmy Eat World did an A/B side cover of "Firestarter" and "Last Christmas". I gotta hear this..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dcominottim @stevesi 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi Qualcomm is terrible at their job(s). Or Apple is amazing at it. You choose which is correct!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
In conclusion https://t.co/3RJEMI3hCB

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@steholmes I need the opposite of this

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@patrickc feel free to add @discourse to that list, fantastic for teamwork. I am slightly biased though ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mdshw5 that is why I said "pretty good" and not "must watch" or "excellent". I enjoyed it though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chriscoyier (makes a cow milking gesture) like this

@codinghorror
@Cloudhunter @sarahjeong oppressed, really

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sarahjeong who will think of the old white people? who?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life @jack To be fair, it was more than a little ridiculous. Get a damn family. Spend time with them. Join the rest of the human race in our race to.. wherever the hell it is we're going, anyway

Jeff Atwood

@wilshipley "Bethesda is great at story and single player. So they made a game without a story, multiplayer only. With an old game engine. It's a game nobody wanted, and executed poorly." -- via @eviltrout

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ID_AA_Carmack Yes! This is what we do at @discourse as well. Value of structured internal / external communication

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cherdt @CodyBrown ah, sorry, I saw it on Imgur, I didn't see it here. I love it though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life aka 'economics'

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mufazadk @PavelPatino @lukew Wasn't facebook's goal to have lots of revenue and lots of users? They achieved that, at what cost to the rest of humanity?

Jeff Atwood

@jongalloway @Tidjani_B it is true, all email is sacred

@notwaldorf I suppose it is a lesser case of "they have to be monsters", e.g. unless they are weird monsters, it means any of us could be that bad person (which is really the uncomfortable truth) https://t.co/7wNGuUpkDs

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Kampfkarren I tend to care a lot about stuff that most people just .. don't.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PavelPatino @lukew If it *must* be quantified and *must* be an explicit attainable goal, it will be gamed.. and gamed super hard.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life @johnolilly Yeah it's so bad. I desperately hope we change this in 2020, and I want to chalk 2016 up to a super rare confluence of extremely unlikely events.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PhlashGBG no, I don't think so, there are clearly possible solutions that are well thought out and have anticipated future needs. And then there are "solutions" that.. achieve neither of those things ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly Everything we know about leadership is wrong John! It's opposite year.. I mean, four years of opposite year..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lukew as if I needed another reason to hate OKRs. They're awful.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kwiens @nxthompson @LaurenGoode take it to a local repair shop is way more realistic.. fixing this stuff is hard as hell and super tweaky. I can barely put on a screen protector right without bubbles and crap

@chetfaliszek the steam reviews for this are horrendously negative at the moment. I wasn't too keen with what they did in JC3 so holding off on this one for now
