@chetfaliszek @Qt3 you're welcome, be sure to share those sweeet deals with me too

@Wario64 @siracusa sweet I'll finally get to play it ;)

@brianstegmann ranked (resorted) posts can never work for discussion IMO, very different animal

@b0rk yes and it came out amazing! Ruby needs more performance tools, so this was greatly appreciated! 👏

the most deeply funny thing about this reply, as with all great humor, is how it slyly acknowledges that telling the truth is hilarious

sorry, I should have said, the question is "got any yoyo-related pickup lines?"

@textfiles @ArsenTufankjian I trust you. Mark calendar for four years from now. We'll decide then.

@mbesto @ArsenTufankjian also not multiplayer at all

@mbesto @ArsenTufankjian wasn't free to play, completely different thing. Died with the $2.99 "game" app model

@textfiles @ArsenTufankjian I will take that bet! Where do we both donate to, depending on who wins?

@KristyT also suuuper kid friendly (unlike "hardcore" games) so expect people to be playing this from ages 7 to 100

@KristyT it's a free-to-play third person shooter battle royale game (one eventual winner in a large match of ~100 players). It's just executed.. like.. perfectly on every possible level, technical / business / design

They will write entire business books about what Epic did with Fortnite. Mark my words. This is only the beginning

@OffBeatMammal it really, really isn't good

@waxpancake @coreyh @dasharez0ne Did you replace the teflon feet pads? Those *definitely* don't last forever.. probably easy-ish to find replacements for such a common MS model though

@Carnage4Life if you are a web search engine your literal core competency *is* your crawler. Search results can only ever be as good as your crawl. And precious little competency has been demonstrated here over the last decade... since you asked.

@Carnage4Life Oh, and that's an experience I've had OVER A DECADE OF TIME

@Carnage4Life I can't even begin to articulate the badness of the Bing crawler, and how I've personally had to deal with its profound badness at Stack Overflow and Discourse. Let's just say this is not Microsoft's A team on Bing. To be real with you, it's not even the C team.

@kevindente do I use Firefox?

@nicolasbonnici LOL even I wouldn't go that far

I get the business argument for doing this. But does that mean Mozilla is a .. good.. business? I'm gonna say.. no? Let's really think this through.

@coreyh @waxpancake @dasharez0ne Well now we know what to get Andy for Xmas!

@mathowie @waxpancake @dasharez0ne get your facts straight MATT

@waxpancake @dasharez0ne the specific choice of the original MS intellimouse is next level here

@Carnage4Life I suggest Microsoft drop Bing, which has similarly poor adoption after many years, and switch to Google search

@Carnage4Life This was a bad long term call in my opinion. Monoculture is like the days of IE6.

@AmphibianPhil https://t.co/EZ7zYZRnd6

@sarahjeong I think definitely yes. But they have to ask hard questions of themselves, and Facebook is too in love with Facebook to do that. See also https://t.co/VbVxw4lMAU

@deworde 🤷‍♂️ for some folks, anything other than "we unconditonally accept what you type in this box, no questions asked" is unacceptable. See https://t.co/QpiBf849bw

@migueldeicaza I know the feeling

@deworde if that's the downside, I am 105% on board with the nature of enquiry (inquiry?)

@Danbo @deworde Feel free to read https://t.co/QpiBf849bw

@deworde "philosophical points about the nature of enquiry" is the basis of all intelligent life, tho 🤔

@waxy I don't know why this is so funny to me. These people are totally incompetent.

@paultiseo yes, it does. It'd be more like 12 times cheaper without that

@LeaVerou Totally unacceptable behavior. I can't believe men do this. So dumb.

"could survive a (very small) meteor strike" is tough to compete with

In related news, Firefox market share now below 10% https://t.co/1GVbxnbTDV

@TheJohnnyFuzz @chetfaliszek this is absolutely *NOTHING* compared to what the bombers are doing. MG42 is pretty balanced as-is IMO, I don't see people regularly going 50-0 and 100-0 like the bombers are on certain game modes

@chetfaliszek @TheJohnnyFuzz Some of the assault fully auto weapons are definitely a bit too accurate at distance, other than that I think it's mostly fine. The medic submachine guns are actually getting an accuracy (range) buff from what I understand.

@TheJohnnyFuzz @chetfaliszek also if you want to talk bullshit.. the bombers. my god the bomber runs on the 2 objective breakthrough maps where everyone is clustered. They go 100-0

@TheJohnnyFuzz @chetfaliszek the other team must have been suuuper bad. MG42 *requires* you to be prone or on bipod, which means you're a sitting duck once the other team knows your position. Set up right it is monstrous, but heavy restrictions, it's balanced in my book.

@hklaiho Um no https://t.co/KEYtTl5UWP

@phpdreams which models? Links? Do they have the colored LED for power indicator?

@stevesi it's hard to explain to people now, but this was really cutting edge GUI stuff at the time, and we pored over each new big MSFT product release in great detail for insight on GUI futures..

@TashasEv DELICIOUSNESS

@seesharp It's the new "oldies", like 50s music used to be when I was .. er.. 30 years younger?

@DanGill @theodoredziuba @erraggy @FHDaily Based on evidence to date, I've stopped expecting better, in this particular case.

And so it begins https://t.co/65wPDqVn0j

@tobermatt Requires an unreasonable amount of energy

@FHDaily @theodoredziuba Why would you retweet this horseshit? Reflects poorly on you.

@tqbf he's also in Hackers (1995)

@twang @CowboyVC apropos

@scottwasson looks like a rendering though

@brianchoffman @ftrain @ftrain is the best. Mrs. Train is also great.

@BEBischof @lexfridman totally fine, you followed up, and it is a complaint I have heard before so I don't think it is unfounded

@ftrain this tweet was ahead of its time

@BEBischof @lexfridman interesting and good to hear. Maybe this? https://t.co/yrgSlzpoYS

@BEBischof @lexfridman Well now you've kinda hurt my feelings, Doctor Donut.

@seesharp @kwiens protip: build up mobo first (cpu, ram, heatsink, m.2 ssd all attached to mobo). follow the A4-SFX manual, it's quite good!

@mathowie seems relaxing

@seesharp I see @kwiens gets some love in this pic too 💝

@Anyware @seesharp also i7-8086k for the CPU!

@Anyware @seesharp the case is the best part.. hard to see in the pic but A4-SFX

@textfiles I use you as my template Jason

@textfiles hard decisions are always the right decisions

@dataandme @topepos @KirkegaardEmil thank you, that is the perfect reference point with real live examples

@L_R_T How so? There is no special aging like there is in reddit (exponential decay of “topic” over time)

@ClayNichols may not be true, though: https://t.co/MBaqz0fufh

@eyebrowsofpower I don't know; also per this talk (starts at 3 mins) you can get suspended from Twitter for telling your best friend "I will fucking kill you" https://t.co/SPbmkFjGL4

literally IDENTICAL topic from 7 years ago, on reddit. War. War never changes. https://t.co/hdkql3ciwp

@jwz Yahoo is bad at LITERALLY EVERYTHING. They're notorious for this email silent discard crap.

@nicholas__head @bethesda send the money to their competitors in the future ;)

@ftrain it's so wrong and dirty.. yet SO RIGHT

@JamesMcCormack @gains_tweets these are delightfully wrong in so many ways

@j4ddie @Karunamon When the status quo is “basically broken when viewed on any smartphone” your statistical chances of survival as a community are .. dire.

@j4ddie @Karunamon Forums this old usually don’t work at all on mobile, you have to use some third party app to transmogrify the content into a sane mobile format.

@joshmanders Six of one, half dozen of the other. Without a regular influx of new users you are already dead at the macro timescale.

@bara @discourse Keeping out new users is the main one. They are comfortable with the same group, which will only ever get smaller through attrition.

@Karunamon I feel communities like this which actively resist change are implicitly acknowledging that they *want* to go down with the ship, and they *know* it will go down.

@bara You can certainly refer them to @discourse, but there is an aspect of "leading the horse to water" here

@zeh Sure, that's why we founded @discourse -- feel free to use it. 100% free 😉

Count the ratio of content to non-content pixels on this forum page. Also ☹ because the content is about kids and well-being https://t.co/N1XExw8xsr

This is a side effect of software so crappy no new (and sane) people are ever going to want to join up. All you end up with is the old cranky "never change anything" brigade and those people are.. let's just say, "not fun"

@KoryNunn ... if it's something they actually *care* about in the first place. There is a different, and probably better, argument to be made in favor of caring less about stuff in general, and picking only battles you really have to.

@KoryNunn I don't find this to be true in practice. It takes years, even decades, to change people's minds on anything that matters.

@waxpancake @waxy super minimalist?

@amyjokim So yeah if I want a *guaranteed* new in box item, I buy from Amazon *NOT* eBay for that reason. Otherwise I know there is risk for a "deal"

@amyjokim I guess I view AirBnB as more of an eBay type experience. Whether the item matches the description ultimately isn't eBay's fault, but the seller's.

@amyjokim @CallMeAreks It's interesting because it extends beyond tit-for-tat, as the guest and host reviews are published simultaneously and independently.

@joshk While we're at it, can we please get rid of "killing it" as a metaphor for success? That has always bothered me.

@CallMeAreks @amyjokim In that case @amyjokim this couldn't be retaliatory tit-for-tat, it's both parties leaving negative feedback independently

@amyjokim Yes it was this, did they regress it?? https://t.co/RJzJ42UZgC

@amyjokim I talked to someone working at AirBNB a while ago about this and they developed a system where reviews go up simultaneously in lockstep (guest and host) so there's not a retaliatory nature to it?

@millross @applepies awful performance AND terrible security, I ask you, what's not to love about Android, really?

@betsyphd RUH ROH!

@sarahjeong @reckless does it involve lasers.. and sauce..

@kemitchell get back in your cabin and turn off the internet!! 🤗

@textfiles this photograph pleases me
