@onedurr I had sunflower seeds and an ice cream sandwich for lunch. 🤷‍♂️

Current score is Rats 3, Jeff 0. I think I can’t get the weight trigger for the planks right. Switching to snap traps...

@mwylde @tqbf You should also both watch Rectify. Look it up on metacritic if you want to see why.

@mwylde @tqbf The leftovers is totally unique and actively fucks with the watcher in a way I have never experienced before. Recommended.

@tqbf It was a good finale but the series lacked strength in each season. Did anyone seriously care about what’s-her-name confronting what’s-his-name at George Mason U?

@jeffsand very fancy indeed.. but dual 1080 Ti? seriously? :P

@onedurr haven't had it yet

@andiih (If you want real multi monitor cabinet mode anyway)

@andiih You need to buy the seasons on steam

@andiih ? if you buy the table licenses now they are good indefinitely. they just can't sell them after June 30th

@andiih yes there is more detailed info on the pinball arcade forums

@textfiles https://t.co/XvHWeYOsY9

@kylecrum @schneems @zeeg @atmos Rails Doctrine does. Literally.

@iHiD @wycats @samsaffron @sgrif @tenderlove @eileencodes There's a dearth of big, significant rails open source projects relative to other frameworks/languages; on github and in general. How many of these has the average developer heard of? https://t.co/zSHUJuSCkR

@cwodtke @Jicecream 🤣

@jchyip oh man this is heavy

@pyrolistical the joke is on you, he actually makes 000.00 per year

@iHiD @wycats @samsaffron @sgrif @tenderlove @eileencodes a picture of the the github data is here https://t.co/uMBKCWDtXQ .. not a single ruby/rails project in the first 5 pages

@concept47 @iHiD @wycats @samsaffron @sgrif @tenderlove @eileencodes oh, we'll be doing stuff. As one of the two largest open source Rails project (guess what the other one is!) we have a lot of capital to work with here, both literally and figuratively

@iHiD @wycats @samsaffron @sgrif @tenderlove @eileencodes on an open source project you care *intensely* about difficulty of installation, e.g. how many people can actually get this running, versus paying $99/month (or whatever) to have a company spin up an instance for you automagically. And Rails is .. very bad.. at this.

@wilshipley can you travel to a less-busy DMV farther away? Dunno just brainstorming

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron @ryanflorence JavaScript is in billions of devices, with 4-5 major corporations pouring zillions of dollars into it. I agree there's a ton of low hanging perf fruit here, but who is there to harvest it? And factoring for anti-perf culture..

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron @ryanflorence All that reflects the Basecamp View, which is that "as long as we can host it the way we want, we don't care about anyone else". It's an internal biz, closed source centric view. A big reason why there are so few large ruby / rails open source projects.

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron @ryanflorence Glimmer alone wasn't a fix, to my recollection. We had to wait for Glimmer 2. https://t.co/BjL9CiVya6

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron @ryanflorence Beyond that, what if I told you I could reduce your cloud server hosting costs by 50 percent.. with *free performance*? https://t.co/cOUpiJFHtO

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron @ryanflorence dev happiness is pretty easy these days, in a way it was not in 2004. So many choices, so many mature frameworks. Performance, on the other hand, has hit a brick wall in terms of hardware advancing.

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron @ryanflorence otherwise it looks a lot like Doctrine level DevHappy bludgeoning. Your users will have so much time in between requests to think about how ecstatically happy they are! Oh wait.. you mean users should be happy too? 🤔

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron @ryanflorence for that to even begin, there has to be top-level Doctrine acknowledgement that performance maybe.. kinda.. matters.. even a little? a smidge? a dash?

@sgrif @samsaffron the doctrine does not say "secondary"; performance is not even mentioned. What it does say is that developer happiness is, by far, the most important factor and the only one that matters.

@iHiD @wycats @samsaffron @sgrif @tenderlove @eileencodes you bring up a good point.. businesses.. but mostly not open source projects. Ever wonder why that is? I'd also argue that a lack of open source representation is a symptom of a dangerous longer term disease for a language / framework.

@sgrif @wycats @samsaffron My comments are specific to Active Record, and I'd say benchmarks over the last 3-4 years support the point I am making. Beyond that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@rishavrastogi @voretaq7 I get that some parts of the community may care, but they end up fighting the official highly publicized bible / doctrine of "the only thing that matters is developer happiness" all along the way.

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron More developers should internalize the fact that performance actually matters... at *LEAST* equal to "developer happiness". If they did, we'd have made more progress by now, rather than having to drag people, kicking and screaming, across the goal line

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron It'd be an ActiveRecord alternative, not a full Rails alternative. Working title.. TurboRecord ;)

@schneems @zeeg @atmos It's a deeply seated cultural issue in the Rails community, that performance is irrelevant and "developer happiness" is the only thing that matters. This has unfortunate long term consequences, particularly when moore's law is heavily petering out in the last decade.

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron in other words, the only way to get the outcome you want is to build the (mostly compatible) alternative and push it forward.

@wycats @sgrif @samsaffron It's funny that you bring this up, because we want a Merb style outcome here and that's what we are working toward. I honestly don't feel AR can be fixed because of the deep seated cultural issues of "developer happiness > everything else"

@wycats @samsaffron @sgrif @tenderlove @eileencodes It is true, I am making a hyperbolic point because .. well, ask yourself why there are so few big open source Rails projects. You can draw a line directly from that to the top level "developer happiness > everything else" goals.

@samsaffron @sgrif @dhh this is also why the (very appropriately named, since it's such a kludge) Hack performance improvements were so important for PHP, Wikimedia, etc https://t.co/cOUpiJFHtO

@samsaffron @sgrif @dhh I'd add that "performance is irrelevant" made much more sense in 2004, when there was still wind from Moore's Law at our backs. That is no longer the case, and has not been for some time now.

@sgrif @samsaffron I honestly don't feel AR can be fixed at this point, due to the deep cultural issues of "developer happiness > everything else". It's better to invest in building alternative (but compatible) paths, kind of like Merb did back in the day.

@samsaffron @sgrif The take that "developer happiness" is the only thing that matters, and that performance can be ignored, is absolutely enshrined in Rails culture.. and has been from day one.

@kevindente the revenge of GOT DOT NET

@happywebcoder Ask yourself why there are so few big Ruby/Rails open source projects. Go look up the data if you don't believe me. Lack of caring about performance/memory consumption as a core value is a big part of that.

@bozhobg it's only $1 for an international stamp

@bozhobg durable! Email me your address and I can send you a new one!

@voretaq7 did you just retweet.. yourself?

@textfiles it's a hell of a gateway drug

@preetness @tenderlove I only get one pass on this rock until I am dead forever and I'm gonna do it my way.

@ryanbigg @SteveHill1981 @fxn @tenderlove but still: why. aren't. more. people. pissed. off. about. this.

That, I truly do not get.

@ryanbigg @SteveHill1981 @fxn @tenderlove and I apologize for lumping AR problems at @tenderlove's feet, that's my specific beef

@concept47 @ryanbigg @tenderlove @mperham is it? Rails still hasn't caught up to 2.0 performance levels.

@concept47 @ryanbigg @tenderlove @mperham that is fair, my comments are specific to Active Record.

@concept47 @ryanbigg @tenderlove @mperham The fact that people aren't incredibly pissed off about how bad the status quo is in Active Record is completely mystifying to me. It's SO bad.

@concept47 @ryanbigg @tenderlove @mperham more people should be pissed off about Active Record bloat because it is *profoundly* BAD. Get mad. Change things.

@mwpastore @samsaffron @tenderlove that is fair, I apologize @tenderlove but the status quo in Active Record makes me really angry.

@_brianclifton @tenderlove I apologize for stating it so harshly. What I meant was, we are willing to put our money where our mouths are on this and sponsor anyone who can deliver at least 1 order of magnitude improvements in Active Record. Good luck. You'll need it.

@ArsenalReport Get angry. Change things. Go ahead, I dare you!

@samsaffron @tenderlove and sadly the giant free CPU performance improvements every year train, which was full steam ahead in 2004 for the early days of Ruby, has loooong since left the station.

@samsaffron @tenderlove culturally, those are the values established on the project, unfortunately. Every time we don't use Active Record because the performance (and memory consumption) is abysmal, we get lectured about "The Rails Way"

@_brianclifton @tenderlove It'd be a business sponsorship, not a personal offer. Our business relies on this stuff.

@dramalho @tenderlove I personally believe the institutionalized bloat of Active Record *cannot* be fixed at this point. So.. prove me wrong! We're happy to fund the effort as a business that relies on this stuff.

@ryanbigg @tenderlove I'll give you or anyone else $20k RIGHT NOW if you can commit to massive perf improvements in Active Record. Seriously, give me your wire transfer number. I am not even close to joking.

@ryanbigg @tenderlove if the truth hurts, maybe ask yourself why that is

@patio11 Send a fax

@Darchmare @SkaveRat There will be no mercy in this dojo

Rat traps round one was a failure. Round two, bigger planks, peanut butter more on ends, taped to bucket so they don’t move. https://t.co/l7ZUnfE2l0

@fernap3 tap and hold is a very solid right click that already exists and has wide currency

@waynehartman I ocassionally think about how I never say to myself 'Man, I wish I could tap this in some bizarre fucked up hard to do way that doesn't even make sense or accomplish anything relevant to my needs as a user' 🤣

@waynehartman done years ago and never looked back

@waynehartman you'd be incorrect, it's very simple. tap and hold. 3d touch.. see https://t.co/BmqBVnA1bf

@waynehartman except that it super fucks up tap and hold

@kevindente this is not the place for your perversions, Dente!

@mathowie aw nice thanks @rchern for that ;)

@demonslayyer wow that actually works, you weren't joking

@BradWestness @scottgal at least on the web they said from day one that double-clicking is bullshit, which it is. So this is a learned-from-desktop behavior

@NorrathReaver read the difficulties section here, and reflect on your life choices ;) https://t.co/IQdRCl2mDA

you are not truly a desktop software developer until you realize a not-small percentage of your users _literally_ double-click everything. And I mean E*V*E*R*Y*T*H*I*N*G

here's an unpopular truth: Apple fucked up by inventing double click in the first place. 3d touch repeats that mistake. https://t.co/IQdRCl2mDA

@wilshipley "I had to learn how much pressure to use to activate a press as opposed to a long hold"

@NorrathReaver "I had to learn how much pressure to use to activate a press as opposed to a long hold" this is a bullshit thing to do to people though

@NorrathReaver it super fucks up "tap and hold" which I find unconscionable.. and that was already a perfectly fine "right click"

@davidjames that's why powering your phone off under duress (or smashing it) is the best way to go. There's also this.. https://t.co/08BbIsC8Ud

@lattyware @FlorianWinter yes absolutely true, they are a major step forward

@jwatte incorrect, faceid only works with eyes open

@jwatte untrue https://t.co/BITbpWPjM6

@film_girl yeah that's kinda what I was getting at. Too many scenarios where it becomes a chore for me.

(also as you noticed.. I am lazy!)

@mathowie yeah that Weezer - Africa thing was kind of a crappy cover, gotta say.

@sanjaysaini1 see the very next tweet I posted, please

@xor I'm sorry you're so afraid I will crush you

@migueldeicaza @shanselman Never stop being angry. Just be sure to channel it into a constructive outlet.

@otikik Rectify is ultimately optimistic, but it also (correctly) points out that it is not easy to get there

@otikik it is ultimately not a dark show, though -- it gets to a point. darkest show I know of right now is Handmaid's Tale which is B*R*U*T*A*L

@waxpancake the pharoah's tombs would like a word with you
