@jeffsand @migueldeicaza I was not going to say anything but since you asked I do feel @scottgu has not been giving 110%

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@roy_anubhav0 I will believe that when I see credible real world benchmarks

@xor has the US government *EVER* voluntarily dismantled a piece of itself, once it is instantiated and established with a budget and staff?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@leahculver by denomination AND serial number, you mean?

Jeff Atwood

@leahculver nuttin' but benjamins in there

@sknthla This was literally the first thing we learned after launching Stack Overflow

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose Yeah I had to reluctantly do this about 8 months ago as well. It is so bad on mobile.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossipedia @vcsjones You should try reducing resolution to 640x480, maybe you can get it up to 480fps. That’s where the real benefits kick in

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossipedia @vcsjones This is the anti-vax of graphics

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossipedia @vcsjones Why not 90fps? Why not 100fps? Why not 120fps? Lame.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossipedia @vcsjones Totally unnecessary. Unless all you play is super twitch games.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossipedia @vcsjones Sorry I erred in my earlier reply. @vcsjones you are correct, @rossipedia is on crack!

@Jon_E @shanselman Gaming is what led me to my career and outcomes though. And I was a hardcore addict.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza @rob_pike Yes the iPad equivalent of putting two fingers on the keyboard area and magically converting it to a trackpad has been around for a while

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@taviso well yeah, if you raise costs on their end, you have partially succeeded. But I agree with you that if this is used as an excuse to stop working on further solutions, then it's bad.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@taviso I dunno, I figure a lot of attackers are lazy and/or script kiddies. You're right that it won't stop determined attackers, of course.

@jongalloway @SaraJChipps The bad kerning on this is our greatest legacy

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway @SaraJChipps Being a programmer isn’t a healthy job at this point. You work with an unempathetic, robotic a-hole all day long (the computer).

@Carnage4Life It is a terrible analogy, the better one is consumption of junk food or having a smoking habit

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Yes, my child has a dirty finger. This was not insta influencer quality work

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshk Shhhhhhhh no exposing industry secrets! 🤫

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life Do you need a drivers license to use social media? Where are the social media crash test dummies?

@mattek One thing that bit me, I hit level 50 and am not getting any company coin at all for .. everything really except the daily challenges. Will this be fixed and back-credited?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Diederik_za @AmberJuneDesign Is there an amp part? I'm seeing https: // www. history. com/news/second-gilded-age-income-inequality

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AmberJuneDesign this doesn't go to an AMP page for me, I dunno

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout you would have super-hated the previous gen 12.9" pro because this A12X one is lighter and smaller. Still big though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@xor @BTCbadBTCh @JuhoHame I think you can do this without turning people away, just make sure people arriving are clearly informed how long the wait will be. If it’s 2 hours, they will turn themselves away

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@taskboy3000 @ZachWeiner Or spray cheese, all in the same vein of destroying one of the best foods.. cheese

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ZachWeiner American cheese

@codinghorror
@MikeTuffy Very true sooo many new good things!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jbogard Aw come on @beeman_nl he was just kidding you don’t be sore about it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Thegamer9610 that's.. still very much there??

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@robertdenton that's odd, your video drivers are fully up to date?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@KoryNunn I played every one extensively except for Codename Eagle

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout no, this time you get bombed instantly (they let planes spawn too early, and are going to patch that out)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sgrif yes, best in the series since the original 1942

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ScottTRichmond can't stop.. won't stop..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi @Carnage4Life @ginab The purchase of instagram and whatsapp were absolutely critical for them. Without those two they'd be in serious danger. Those acquisitions were as big as youtube for google.. maybe even bigger?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@spergo1 @FrameTrapped Q just marks a point on the map as "trouble there". You CAN 3d spot using the recon scope and full suppression, which is way more surgical and useful. (some tanks have a spotting upgrade when zoomed in, etc)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
who has two thumbs and plays the objective? this guy 👍👍 https://t.co/lbBqL72G94

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
also this little wheeled mini-tank is awesome. You can add ROCKETS to it (at level 4) 🚀 https://t.co/sy7sidIfzt

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
ask me how I know certain vehicles are front wheel drive https://t.co/z2dW836ArB

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
also, new "buddy revives" from same squad, plus longer revive times from medics, and *removal* (mostly) of 3d spotting are huge

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@0x6a6f686e possibly the best in the series considering modern times, IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
There's an AMAZING pull quote in this article that I .. can't .. post on Twitter. You'll know it when you see it, near the top of section 4.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@starsandrobots @ftrain you've seen the article that proposed windowless airplanes, using external cameras and solid body to reduce weight / increase efficiency? That way you could put video-based "windows" anywhere on the airplane

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek this isn't crates based; after you reach level 10 with any weapon, you can do the 6 different "assignments" to get the gold bits. Some of them are pretty hard.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
this was a pain in the butt to get, so don't tell me any other BF5 weapons are better!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf In retrospect he did us a favor by not elaborating on that aspect

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf So presumably he is in charge of all his own sexy times as well.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek I actually liked Trespasser, because I viewed it as a super experimental indie game. But as a "complete" big budget game of its era it was, obviously, a disaster.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek I wrote about it https://t.co/nDaEZ6oJKe

@codinghorror
@fried @textfiles I'm a fan. I remember finally studying eastern religions in college and realizing, "man, the west really SUCKED at religion." Revelatory.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles Loss aversion is a hell of a drug, Jason. I steer into that shit, man. I'm not even that tied to being alive, because that's just another form of bullshit loss aversion.

@codinghorror
@MehrdadA not allowed, all emails have to uniquely belong to one and one account only. But you may have mehrdad.afshari@gmail.com and https://t.co/U3hzBYMtKg.rad@outlook.com .. if not, you should sign up for the latter one immediately

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MehrdadA based on this experience we went hard all-in on email = identity with Discourse. It's been a successful strategy so far, but there is a need for "secondary email" that we're slowly evolving into.

@mandelhorn hence, no tusks, less get shot, the whole species survives.. through evolution.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MehrdadA numbers as people indentifiers are just .. bad.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MehrdadA I think numbers-only is a big part of the problem..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wireddaniel it depends how much automated testing, smoke testing, etc you have in place

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman Twilio is a hell of a drug

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@steven_odb it'll only be like 4-5 hours max, but it's decent

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles Disco was the worst mode they've experimented with all time in my opinion. And I've seen dozens.. including the "pick up coins fast" one..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
$60 for 5 cards.. that's some sweet VC pricing right there

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles it depends on the mode. Disco domination was the absolute *worst* for this. You won't see much of this in squads, duos, or really solos.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stublag they released it early for whatever reason, IDK

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@slimKhan it's because of today's weirdness.. just happened as I started playing. https://t.co/Fc8ut28NX3

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza I have some bad news for you: this will get worse before it gets better

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
BF1 was kind of overly spammy with the gas (although I liked it) + masks, mortars, bombers, ending up in lots of indirect fire deaths that you had little control over. But the horses were glorious

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek choose advanced install and opt not to install "experience".. I never do

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@thomasfuchs SVG is better but browser support had to mature and using the font was 10x easier

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi It is more instructive to read these as complaints about not getting an a12x laptop running OS X .. which is a legit oversight in my book.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shahedC @oldjacket I was skeptical too but became a full-on convert after using it for a while. It's also more (!) secure than fingerprints.

@AmazonHelp no need, I just re-ordered it and I hope the other one will arrive

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer pretty sure I did not in this case

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@StormPooper @discourse personal failings

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshlangner @2x You *must* test in incognito mode. If you are running adblockers, they seriously hurt performance.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OleenaNatiras lol nope, JS just reflects a chip that has excellent single-threaded perf and burst perf

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Also, if chat *is* the primary, default method of communication in your org.. https://t.co/5xXiWZ2amC

@joshlangner Safari is a factor, for sure. But Desktop Chrome is _very_ fast these days.
