@tqbf If you didn't look at the 2016 results and conclude that traditional polling was dead, you're.. kind of an asshole.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi @johnolilly @benedictevans @djdonnell Tiling was the correct choice -- though I doubt displays were large enough for that to work as well as it could have in 1990. Overlapping is endless busywork.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@argonaut @benthompson @reckless I do agree that it's crazy Apple hasn't shipped an OSX device with their insanely fast SoCs though. Even Ye Olde 2017 A10X was plenty fast for a macbook.

@benthompson @reckless users do sure love the filesystem. uh huh. They loooove them some filesystem.

@SteveMoser @stevesi @reckless This is the ultimate Apple feature — buy and use our $500 watch to get an OSX feature that is free on every $799 iPad Pro!

@Pinboard yeah if you drew any other conclusions than "all polling is now bullshit" from the 2016 elections, you're kind of an asshole

credit @tobermatt for this bit of genius. I have to say, I hadn't thought about it in quite this way before 🤣

@sarahjeong this is like literally my favorite piece of performance art I've seen in 2018

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente I find it dramatically better on the XS

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life I mostly give them a pass here because any sufficiently widespread peer to peer messaging app would have had the same effect. And p2p messaging apps aren’t exactly rocket science. Facebook is way more complicated.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossrubin N64 being the exception in my mind

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rands are you ... walking through the park and reminiscing?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DenisTrailin @robdaemon @rgardler Show me a single citation from > 2 days ago that indicates Gab is *not* on Azure. Contrast with widespread news coverage from august (2 months ago) that indicated they were.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi @john_lam @Carnage4Life I don't feel that's quite the same as being three clicks away from the most extreme polarized content (video / images / text) imaginable, on any public computer in the world.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rgardler @robdaemon IP lookup won't help since they are very secretive about IPs (because they're a hate site) and thus masked behind CloudFlare. So I'm unclear what point you are making, if any. I'm still waiting for that web citation from >2 days ago.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @stevesi @charlesarthur @benedictevans I am legit more excited about new ipads than new iphones at this point. Rumor say the new ipad will use *current* silicon, rather than being 1 gen behind as in the past (A10X vs A11 in iPhone X, A12 in XS). If so, it will be a turbocharged A12 which will be .. kinda bonkers perf!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rgardler @robdaemon also, view source on gab yourself. multiple azure references still there. https://t.co/LkW5FcKbJB

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rgardler @robdaemon my point is that the info is not out there. You're criticizing me for not searching before posting on Twitter, *when I absolutely did* and there was zero info out there. Again. Find me an azure/gab citation from >2 days ago. I dare you. I triple dog dare you.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@benedictevans @stevesi @johnolilly @charlesarthur it's also frankly disturbing how few choices there are in the Android "tablet" space these days. At this point most Android sites literally throw up their hands and say "screw it, just get an iPad".

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rgardler @robdaemon reports differ. Some say they left voluntarily. Again, find me a citation from > 2 days ago that said anything at all about this .. I'll be waiting over here ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi @johnolilly @charlesarthur @benedictevans The near-death of the iPad Mini is the most interesting thing in this space for me at the moment. https://t.co/WO90Aybx6D

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rgardler @robdaemon There were zero google results saying anything otherwise, that I could find. Feel free to cite any web articles from > 2 days ago..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rgardler @migueldeicaza I already did, check my Twitter post stream

Speaking of, here's pictures taken on *every* iPhone from 2G to X. Where was the biggest generational photo quality leap? https://t.co/nyZHqcXnS6

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nickstenning I assumed you had the inside line since you work on Azure (per your bio) but it looks like they weren't on Azure as of "weeks ago" and were kicked off Joyent ~4 hours ago.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TheExtremista @benwikler @joyent @stripe I searched quite a bit before tweeting. There's near-zero references in google to them getting kicked off azure "weeks" ago. The only ones I found were breaking news ~4 hours ago.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nabeel Well worth watching for people in the industry. Fair warning: season 4 is allllll over the map in terms of quality and tone. Still worth it!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@benwikler @joyent @stripe There damn sure wasn't much info out there about them being kicked off Azure. It's almost like it was kept intentionally quiet.

@codinghorror
@lonbaker @_paperino yes, they are a startup designed to foster violence. Their software can be run in any datacenter, on any server. They could run it out of any number of colocation or ISPs or even someone's house, if that person has really good connectivity.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lonbaker @_paperino is it really "reactionary" when per the article I linked, this is the second known incident, and a multiple fatality now? Gab can host itself on ANY server it wants to, or they could colocate hardware.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza @rgardler yes, and now it is even WORSE due to relative inaction

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edyesed Being able to iterate in sane fashion is ABSOLUTELY a sign of health. Is it the only one? Obviously not. Nobody was even saying that. But it's as important as a heartbeat for a software company.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz @textfiles The funny thing is, being an incorrigible Apple // pirate in the day, you learned to be EXPERT at figuring games out without any kind of manual. Or find the ascii manual on a bbs somewhere.

@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer @cwsterling ironically these articles about ad fails are probably better sales tools (meta!)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Lee_Holmes I don't mean in docs. I mean in the core product. Like in Windows 10, or GitHub itself.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@uchian In the core product. If Twitter changed the word "Reply" to "Respond", for example.

Jeff Atwood

@joshk you should have demanded to pay only half that price

@jshardison @rory_blyth die on EVERY HILL!!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
he then posted an amazing annotated picture of this supremely melted, or as he called it, "jizzacked", microwave on shacknews. This might actually predate the name change to shacknews, I'm not sure. Anyway, for whatever reason, I think about that jizzacked microwave a lot.

@shanecelis I think you mean a comment. No rep (or even login) is required to post an actual answer. But a comment is not an answer.

@wilshipley lol "have started loving". That's ALWAYS what Apple loved! A big part of iOS success is steering into what they're always been exceptional at!
