@splattne @rory_blyth one of these days, I'm bringing my crazy family to visit you Stefan!!

@michaelasmith very secure top notch PIN choice A++++

@jeffreylindsey this is technically correct, the best kind of correct

and that is why my PIN is now monkey1

@eviltrout I can tell you authoritatively I've never done anything remotely like this. Who does this?????

@lizardbill I feel like you're jonesin' for a Tufte internship

@Carnage4Life if you jump on the gender dynamics pain train you need to think very closely about every single word you use. He didn't. Thus the consequences. Not surprising to me in the least.

@Carnage4Life nah, it was a bad phrasing that read negative. Compare with "And these were great colleges -- MIT, Duke, Cornell.."

@Carnage4Life using the word shitty in this context was very unwise

@ohnobinki face unlocked yes

@PictureBuyer what video? I don't really make videos so I am unsure what you're talking about

@BOLL7708 this one is working grrrreat for me so far!

@sshbrnv It is from the nib magazine

@thekylie_show @Pinboard huh, interesting https://t.co/iOHCReAWAA

this is two decontextualized lines from Kidding on Showtime. Hard to go wrong with Gondry + Carrey https://t.co/vpZjUMuxkf

@shlykur it's required to even support Windows Hello; feel free to verify this by doing a google search if you don't believe me

@JohnONolan Depending on what happens in 2020, seriously considering doing the same for Discourse

@JohnONolan easy for you to say, having moved all your schmertz to Singapore

@jongalloway @shenchauhan Seconded that is a really good pic!

@stevesi Pringles 🤣

@eviltrout This suuuper did not work for me? Best of all time...?

@lizzz_818 perhaps, but the first rule of sales is still the first rule of sales -- the answer is always ‘No’ until you ask.

@RichFelker You can still right click to open in incognito for content you want to see. Main thing is it gets rid of dubious “recommendations”

Good news! Thanks to the 280 character increase, our nuanced Twitter discussions of gender dynamics are TWICE AS AWESOME!

@Carnage4Life Good

@affanzbasalamah @eviltrout it's a good question.. even iPad is getting face login (to be announced this month or next)

@Carnage4Life not to mention how police mistakes often become fatal

@MarkAhern @eviltrout https://t.co/ZIdtTrt3kf

@affanzbasalamah @eviltrout this is so very on brand for Apple.. buy our $500 watch to get the feature

@hydroxyde I consider it a bug, in these cases

@blackjack75 I got it mostly because it is faster than I expected it to be, and I really do like the extra screen space on the max. But yeah, outside of that, I wouldn't.

If you're not pushing, the rest of the world is not going to give you a damn thing.

@blackjack75 it's much better for me on the XS. Noticeably so

@taglius try it and report back to us!

BUT WHAT IF THEY MAKE A SCULPTURE OF YOUR FACE!

Seriously how awesome would that be? I'd count myself honored and privileged to live in such a world.

@JeffreyWiden I'm pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretttttyyyy sure it measures more than just your nose, but feel free to buy it and test for yourself! Let us know what you find out!

@JeffreyWiden no, because it captures depth point array of face

@jgstew this *does* include a 720p web cam. no microphone of course

Paradoxically, face login is more secure than fingerprint login, and it's IMO easier (just look at something). "Apple says the chances of fooling its Face ID is 1 in 1 million, while the chances of fooling its Touch ID are 1 in 50,000."

@jeffehobbs you also get a (mediocre) 720p webcam in it for free though! For my super rare uses of video chats, that's fine. And the MS webcam is $40 alone.. https://t.co/5VMMCckMXk

@Carnage4Life Every single thing Yishan said about Twitter is true of Reddit, where he was CEO -- poorly -- for a while. Yishan Wong is a disaster of a human being.

@eviltrout I just bought a Windows Hello compatible monitor attachment so I can unlock windows by sitting down at my desk! Also doubles as a webcam! TAKE THAT MACOS USER

@migueldeicaza This is like buying an admission to Harvard

@Pinboard Let me guess, ".. and William J. Scherle is a white supremacist"

@crankycatcoder @stevesi @CNN I was willing to give Dorsey the benefit of the doubt until the disastrous way the whole Alex Jones thing was handled. That was a complete clusterf**k of abysmal top level management decisions.

@stevesi @CNN in my view Twitter is one of the most mismanaged tech companies in recent memory, so even without reading the article I'm going with "whatever the guy who isn't Dorsey is saying"

After about three full cycles of going through the park this way, and struggling to enter the password every time on each ride (lots of failed attempts), I was very glad to finally wake up.

The only way to disable the scary/broken rides was to use a super mega awkward UPS style handheld data entry device, rotated on its side, and enter the term “comixology”. And you could only do this after entering each ride, and it started griefing you.

And I kept getting stuck at the end of the park such that I had to go through 4-5 of these rides to get back to the rest of the team.

@daveoflynn @rands As an aside, this is why people don’t generally answer questions like this truthfully. Can’t say I blame them.

@nicksahler @fangirlJeanne A really *slow* way, yeah

@daveoflynn @rands it does feel good actually, because you want to share pain; hurting others is a way of doing that

@tobermatt The other one is pronounced Ewe TAY cee

@lordeagle I haven't heard much about the BF5 battle royale mode at all

@rands at MAX I start hurting other people in various ways

@taviso @DonAndrewBailey I started watching this and arrrrrggghh https://t.co/ISydZY7OWW

@bvdahle Join us at https://t.co/0zSkskz4O3 :)

@JohnONolan Let it go, John

@edmz I think there is a conceptually enormous difference between "what we want as a community" and "what I want as a personal preference" and downvoting is absolutely and irrevocably in the former, not the latter

@edmz Downvoting is statistically just fine on larger subreddits, but on smaller ones it is 100% toxic.

@cwodtke cc @betsyphd

@jongalloway still going with sexy other humans

@xxlfunny1 https://t.co/eUxL1JRDMV

@john_lam To their credit, they did make big Chrome/Android JS perf strides in the last 18 months, but the underlying hardware is *so* slow that it still isn't remotely competitive https://t.co/LaIAzIzlLV

@john_lam the iphone 5s was the beginning of the inflection point, also I think that's when they went 64-bit wayyy ahead of anyone else. Yeah, I just double checked and it was the A7 confirmed.

@john_lam this has been going on for a while, we started noticing a big disparity in 2015 https://t.co/ZWZdqlTqXY

@czaplic @flaximus_prime cc @erlend_sh

@czaplic @flaximus_prime This is an excellent talk, I posted about it on our meta https://t.co/2jGfiWahiP .. someone from our team will be following up with you for sure, but also feel free to reply there if you are so inclined.

@john_lam the Qualcomm hardware people told Google internally they were 5 years behind Apple on hardware. This was about 1.5 years ago, but I believe that's about right.

@Yair_Rosenberg (slowly raises hand) I.. still think they're dumb. But it is a personal choice.

@ben_a_adams @jongalloway @bernaferrari Intel and Nvidia played here for a while. Research and see what happened to them.

@jongalloway @bernaferrari all those things generally come packaged with higher performance, historically speaking. The deviating factor here begins with the letter "Q" and ends with "ualcomm"

@jongalloway @bernaferrari True, 640kb of memory should be enough for anyone.

@czaplic @flaximus_prime @strangeloop_stl reddit is very, very good for breaking news and "what's hot right now", and *absymal*, to the point of causing actual harm, for literally every other human function. If you use reddit, my main piece of advice is this: stop. leave. spend effort *anywhere* else than there.

@czaplic @flaximus_prime @strangeloop_stl For example: I had to quit the reddit yo-yo community. There's literally *no way* to disable downvoting, which has no place in a small subreddit related to a positive, upbeat (frivolous?) hobby involving a toy. Reddit empowers the worst people to overwhelm everyone else.

@mathowie Cosign. As a person who has designed much software, this stuff MAKES ME CRAZY. The observed pattern matching heuristics to deal with this are not rocket science!

@flaximus_prime @czaplic @strangeloop_stl I am watching this right now and 95% of my advice @czaplic is that reddit is *hugely* toxic by design. The choices they made in the design of Reddit are so, so bad for actual human discussion on every possible level.

@bernaferrari that's a very good question *everyone* should be asking themselves

@galo2099 I found it on hacker news

in conclusion https://t.co/j9D4U61YB5

This Nib Magazine is seriously so, so good. https://t.co/cQTr6dr3o4 https://t.co/zhy6DZeEFl

@xavierjulep @jennschiffer every day I long for death.. and it never arrives

@eviltrout you gotta kill a hobo before age 40

@lizardbill sexy other humans

@robcube @migueldeicaza basically you want to triple-doom this effort

@migueldeicaza Windmill: Tilted at!

@deadprogrammer can two men comfortably simultaneously shower in that? asking for a friend

@Pinboard it's because people *fucking hate* Ted Cruz, and for good reason. Even by Republican standards, he's reptilian.

@IanMakesGames that's why you buy and set up two of them!

@mathowie I was thinking, states rights are about to become extraordinarily useful

@Carnage4Life tbh this is actually a good sign, it shows how much money is potentially out there, we just need someone to better direct it. See also: the bullshit $7 million given to Jill Stein for "recounts" https://t.co/Z82AsBerZF

@freedlander well, Jill Stein got $7 million for .. uh.. er.. we're not sure, exactly? https://t.co/Z82AsBerZF

@migueldeicaza @corbett more like weak opinions strongly held

@malsobay that is level 1, this is level 2 https://t.co/28PzUxBzya

@jennschiffer Personally, I'd say I "discovered" them when Trump was elected

@Pinboard @troyhunt @hacks4pancakes @AskCapitalOne there is such a huge divide between the technorati and actual human beings trying to get shit done

@Aissn Covered in the article, try reading it

@kumarharsh @tqbf All of it, and I was cheering for character deaths at the end. Kill them all.

@tqbf Oh my god no, the show is glacial and boring as hell. Over half of it is the world’s most tedious law procedural.
