@betsyphd (Stares off into the distance wistfully) I love writing checks

@seesharp It's also southern in the best possible way. It's among the best things I've ever seen.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp Don't watch that; watch Rectify. Look it up on metacritic if you wanna know why. https://t.co/q3sgGUNGso

if I have learned anything in my career, it is the shocking effectiveness of building ... literally the stupidest thing that could work. (And then iterating on it for a decade.)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TheRobKennedy @theodoredziuba at any scale beyond "why even bother" $800/year is *literally* nothing for a corp

@tobermatt Wow a whole $400 per month for a full time job, quite a deal

@codinghorror
@marcgravell I need that unicorn float so bad

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sgrif kind of expected though, their non-netflix movie selection is pretty damn bad. a bit better for tv shows but the writing is on the wall here: if you don't control the content, you are doomed in the long run

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sgrif how so? lots of self promotion?

@codinghorror
@georgeb3dr I expect Google to crack down super hard on sideloading apps as it is a big security exploit in the long run.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@georgeb3dr (because of Qualcomm, not anything Android is doing per se. But Qualcomm is a canker sore on the mobile world.)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@georgeb3dr Android could walk away from Fortnite no problem IMO.. whereas "big game store" could not. Android devices tend to have really poor CPU perf as well.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@georgeb3dr Fortnite can't beat the entirety of Android -- that's much more than games

@thrgamon @susanthesquark book 1 of southern reach was indeed quite good, but by book 3 it was in full on crazy pants town. I dunno what to make of book 3.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tobermatt Well, Apple ][ floppy discs were only supposed to last 20 years max, right? We're 33 years in now.. https://t.co/2nORoW4J6D

@vincentriemer we don't allow any discussion on GitHub, all discussion is at https://t.co/xtRYvz7geU -- there's nothing stopping anyone from starting a new discussion about their theme. We've had many in the past.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@vincentriemer This is an open source project; we regularly accept code contributions that were freely contributed.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@scottwasson @kwiens will be so proud.. SO PROUD!

@codinghorror
@bayborodin Did you delete it from the Russian SO or the English SO? I don't really have a problem with people saying "Fuck America", nor do I assume it is personally directed at me.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza at the core of so much of this is a profound lack of understanding about "punching up vs. punching down". I see it every single day. So common.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss brb need to make a call

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@grahamparks We get plenty of open source contributions that we didn't pay anyone for. That's how open source usually works, in fact.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@grahamparks Absolutely *NOT* true of all our code. Lots of enterprise secret sauce for the big whales.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@vincentriemer does this really apply when you're not taking sole ownership of the work? All submissions are MIT and free for anyone to use, forever.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@grahamparks The submissions we’re asking for are free for anyone in the whole world to utilize along with Discourse under the MIT license.

@codinghorror
@YaoihavenReborn @discourse I think it possibly got lost because it was in replies to an existing topic, and it wasn't being bumped any more. We'll be sure to reply now that we see it as a distinct topic of its own.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard @jorgepinon it is very good, but IMO it should be titled "the web advertising obesity crisis"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss insufficient sales. "Sure, you could hit your brother.. *or* you could devise a much more insidious way to ruin his life that he'll never see coming.."

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
and lemme tell you, when you have kids.. you'll be "selling" things to them non-stop. Like "how about we eat our food? MMM SO DELICIOUS" and "how about not hitting your sister?"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie everything is sales though https://t.co/qzM5b2ZYdg

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard @kevindente None of us do

@Pinboard if only I could switch my vote to a state where my vote actually mattered!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard bluetooth or nearfield (see Apple Pay) should work for this, but saying "works everywhere except your phone!" is, realistically speaking, a death sentence

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard Given how prevalent "I do everything on my phone" is, not having physical keys that can readily work with phones (bluetooth? near field? something) is kinda.. crippling

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
however we cannot fully rule it out at this time

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
hopefully it won't go down like this https://t.co/1J7SNvWPD0

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer this is bizarre

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BenedictEvans pretty simple in the case of Facebook, though -- make WhatsApp and Instagram completely independent companies again.

"coordinated inauthentic behavior" is as orwellian a phrase as I've heard in recent memory

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DocPop A happy ending at last!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DocPop Is there a religion pitch in there at the end, because if so, now I am even more depressed

Jeff Atwood

@seesharp if you like it so much why don't you marry it

@ryanhsumner You’d need to address that q to wasd

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@triketora I love this kind of game theory stuff

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout just is kind of a bad word in general

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ironicsans @waxpancake Per the small print on the last page, only 6pm to 7am during the week? Bizarre

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hypatiadotca it's also a super bummer when you accidentally write the *exact opposite* of what you meant to write :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Here is mine. brb, opening some packages. Then I will probably fight a bear. Probably. https://t.co/0ffWqS9WgK

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hypatiadotca The "funny" thing is that he emailed the security dept about it and the reply was misinterpreted. Comedy of errors. 😭 https://t.co/U7hdZ36FSa

@martinstraus go in armed with knowledge. that first year is ROUGH but it gets slowly better every year after that, and your kid gets wayyy more interesting every year past that ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@leedohm @GitHubHelp thank you! I just enabled it and finally it seems to be working? I didn't change anything, so perhaps magic was done on GitHub's end sometime in the last month or so? Anyways all good! https://t.co/YiXCDtAWaB

@TeaDrivenDev @kazoolist in no case is this true; a smaller more intimate community is *better* for beginners than immediately rolling into New York City

@codinghorror
@merlyndmg @pekka_net @TeaDrivenDev Anything C++ is a disaster in the long run. Nature of the beast.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza do you recommend watching this? Have you watched it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TeaDrivenDev there can be more than one website on the internet, with more than one goal ;)

@codinghorror
@tqbf @dakami @SushiDude @0xdaeda1a it is almost as if Twitter is a very limited medium for expression of complete thoughts

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life Facebook loves Facebook more than anything else, but they're really good at *execution*, and always have been.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life on the plus side, I do think they've been taking recent criticism seriously and have made real, practical changes (external news fact checking, whatsapp limits on forwarding)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza @HarshilShah1910 what if.. and bear with me here.. they offered a DARK MODE?!?!!?!?!?@!!@!@&^one
