@Pinboard They are significantly faster just not by arbitrarily increasing clock. Efficiency per clock went way up. The P4 was kind of a bogus design as it optimized for raw clock speed at the expense of everything else.

@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose Well, actually, it is owning other people’s mistakes. Seriously.

@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer missed opportunity to write "Star Wars" there

@kemitchell the third world beckons, for this is quite a salary on their terms

Jeff Atwood

@kemitchell this genie is unfortunately not going back inside that bottle anytime soon ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tobermatt yes, but my data can beat up your data ;) also I *never* trust software. Never. Not once.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sklivvz so you're saying it's OK if you have "bad intentions"? sexism, racism, bigotry are things that are cool with you, and you personally support? Some humans are lesser than others?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout I'd definitely consider moving to a warmer climate based on the number of times you've brought up the complaint!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout I think you just don't like cold

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard maybe you should take a page from the Y Combinator book which is "fund pretty much everything credible and see what works"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @Mantia yeah agreed, i&o fries are weak, even though the prep is immaculate.. turns out raw potatoes don't deliver the best fries. This EPIC article covers why https://t.co/N1bLK2rpLA

@codinghorror
@attack_monkey ah yes the old "no brown m&ms" contract rider!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
because what company wouldn't want to hire someone with not merely a boring same old run of the mill MBA but also a THRILLING background in SKYDIVING

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@spies_please surprising this guy's other account got suspended, eh

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@WhollySchmidt you could add crazy unicode characters to it, lots of space and near-space unicode weirdness to choose from. pick your poison.. or pick a better name for a game ;)

Jeff Atwood

@codinghorror
This might be based on Larry Niven's "Inconstant Moon" but I see that's actually in development as a different movie https://t.co/OGRwcOuUNt

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady some good stuff on this list that I have not yet seen, working my way through it! Childhood's End, Time Lapse, These Final Hours

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly The thing is, the dark patterns never *really* win in these books!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead yes, already watched, as I mentioned here https://t.co/mwRbEuQR5E

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@thepawandubey @Pinboard @discourse well, there's a good reason for that, as I'll now explain to you in this series of painfully contorted twitter replies 1/42

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mspowahs Minecraft usually fulfills this role for the last ~5 years, doesn't it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady legit question, for the record, not a hypothetical

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady also is it The Signal (2014) sci fi or The Signal (2007) horror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady this should link to imdb or metacritic or rotten tomatoes or .. something .. for each movie

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady did you watch the Trainspotting sequel movie? Way way better than I expected. Recommended

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf I don't really want to the referenced objective, though. I tire of YC snark. Been done to death.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady I tend to rate movies by how much I think about them, years later. That one rates pretty good on the think-about scale.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady oh I got one. Under The Skin. Warning, a lot of people REALLY hate this one. I think it's worthwhile, but I understand why they do.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady you are a tough nut, you've seen 'em all! Recommend me some now ;)
(I didn't recommend anything that I thought was below the "meh" threshold for me.)
(I didn't recommend anything that I thought was below the "meh" threshold for me.)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady all right then I recommend Cargo, Game Night, The Survivalist, It Comes at Night, The Conjuring, Green Room, A Dark Song

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady also The Witch

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @uberbrady it ultimately could not decide if it was a sci-fi or a horror movie and split the middle in an unsatisfying way, at least for me

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@uberbrady @snipeyhead Ultimately I was a little disappointed in it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lazycoder I reverse psychology it. "I don't even care if this gets done!" super next level, you probably can't understand

@tqbf Dogs are mans best friend amirite

@DocPop stop being so fake "DOCTOR" "POPULAR"

@codinghorror
@scottwasson such a sad collection of too few keyboards

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DocPop I have some contrarian opinions on this. The "let's curate RSS manually" ecosystem was already doomed. That said, they didn't *need* to kill it off, either.

@codinghorror
@taso42 watch The Leftovers. I loved it, and it fucks with the viewer in an existential way I've never seen any show even attempt before. I mean that as a compliment.

@textfiles @qu1j0t3 yeah, siccing your followers on someone is not cool. The hip kids call these people "stans" now. I guess it's an Eminem thing.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles @qu1j0t3 maybe I am overestimating your degree of badassery

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles @qu1j0t3 was there really a risk that this actor would kill your cat? I would think you get personal death threats on the daily. I figure you'd be sad if there was a day you *didn't* get a death threat.

@Carnage4Life not overpriced relative to performance on iOS devices at all. Quite the contrary. Apple's knocking it _way_ out of the park on performance. It isn't even close. Plus, on security they're next level far FAR beyond what Android offers.
