@amyhoy @mathowie I took home ec as well in high school (circa 1983-ish) and all I remember is that we sewed stuffed animals. I still have the one I made. I wish they taught loans, budgets, spending, etc!

@MehrdadA I've already mailed you the appropriate tooling

@pamelafox I remember @spolsky once said at Fog Creek they wrote "about one algorithm per year" and that seems about right to me

@shog9 those accursed money-rats! 🐁

@djabatt no, see replies, it may have that name, but it contains nothing like that

@kirillzubovsky they teach what's in the books, not what's in their personal lives. True of every class and subject, I WOULD FREAKIN' HOPE

@vitalydotn @Carnage4Life that is why this stuff is important to hear, it is literally invisible to a whole swath of other humans

@Carnage4Life I am surprised they haven't done that already!

@Pinboard @MailChimp maybe @marcprecipice can help? He works there

@marcgravell This has happened to me for two years now, with every graphics driver update. Might be nvidia issue, dunno

@lauradobrzynski so I guess what I'm saying is.. yay garbage? 🤷‍♂️

@wilshipley (drives by in gold plated SUV with triple .50 cal and rocket launchers mounted on the front, yells out the window) how does it feel to be POOR, ya loser!

@lauradobrzynski it's the only garbage we get, and then statistically speaking we'll be dead forever

@jlericson @whereisroadster The game changes a bit when you reach a critical mass of questions and "everything" has been asked, or at least 90% of the low hanging fruit. EZ finding duplicates becomes critical.

@amyhoy this is the best video ever! 😍 Binding can be a bit tricky at first, try this: https://t.co/Kaq43lnjvM

@Hanzo55 it is kind of scary how much you know about me

@story645 To me, the key is that you have to believe in your question more than anyone -- and will put forth the visible effort to solve it, even if nobody else will.

@_mcarroll_ I would definitely encourage you to flag that comment, or any like it. "Have you tried anything? What went wrong?" is 100% OK.. but adding "Don't make people do your work for you" is *not*

@story645 like I said, they should be in read only mode for a good long while. Totally supported use

@whereisroadster @jlericson The middle is a good characterization of what we are shooting for

@story645 I wouldn’t say advanced, just not the right place for learning everything from first principles. Some barriers exist for a reason.

@bjornefitte https://t.co/64xhPBPteb

@tklancer @Pinboard If you need funds for more bulk yubikeys don’t hesitate to hit me up. Of course giving does not equate to using..

@story645 It absolutely can, and does, based on the rules and norms it applies.

@story645 Fine to go in read only mode, that is a primary use case. Can’t walk into college having never gone to elementary school and expect to have a good experience..

@Pinboard @pbreit FWIW I agree but .. *someone* voted for Cruz. He didn't just magic himself into office.

@JasonPunyon @jlericson That "It's" mistake in there is killing me. I am dead. I have died. Where's my anonymous edit button?

@romero I loved these posters! Ordered some off eBay a while ago ;) See also https://t.co/Pol50gQ5fB

@jlericson @whereisroadster Those beginner questions would all have been closed as dupes on SO. It's the wrong venue, with a radically different design and goal.

@_mcarroll_ "don't make people do your work for you" is a flaggable comment for the record

@amyhoy one is responsive (pull and it comes back) the other is pro unresponsive that requires learning the bind trick https://t.co/Kaq43lnjvM

@amyhoy No particular goal, just sharing happiness

@amyhoy Ugh postage due my bad!

@jlericson @whereisroadster Remember that the original goal of Stack is NOT to teach new programmers from first principles. That is what Khan Academy, Udacity etc are for.

@marcprecipice it is a step in the right direction but I hope they continue to push down on pricing to reach more people.

@Pinboard If BigCo makes effectively infinite money, there's no downside to these tiny (relative to infinite) donations happening on both sides, so you always pick the "winner". Even $50k x 2 x 200 is nothing to BigCos

@Pinboard don't companies typically bet on 'both sides'? or does the data say otherwise?

@blakesorrell sure more info would be good!

@inkel @citrusbyte Specific places, recommendations from those that have done it! Sounds like you have?

@marcprecipice it is such a shame that Apple doesn't do low cost, that audience is badly served by Android

@andrewducker @Pinboard @matthew_d_green "Over the next two years, developers will be required to target a recent SDK version"

TWO

YEARS

@SparkyRobot Tetris.. but DOWN A WELL

@matthew_d_green @Pinboard Did you know you can release an Android app intentionally targeting an old version and be immune to all modern Android security improvements? Snapchat has done this for a while now, for example

@tobermatt this is hilarious

@tartley @riking27 @tqbf this is what I was getting at. Nobody is clamoring to sign up and build CRUD apps at RandomBigCo

@Pinboard this is a vastly superior tactic. "Show us how powerful you can be", will work

@Pinboard What is this? Concrete, specfic, workable suggestions without somehow invoking the word "union"? I am disappoint

@shanecelis I enjoy keyboards responsibly online, not in person like some kind of animal!!

@tqbf I think the opposite of this is true; perception of "paid to have fun" means lots of up and comers love to be given a chance in the game industry.

@haacked @laheinzen puzzle-hater!

@Blanco @siracusa wake me up when it's available on PC!

@SparkyRobot I am disturbed to report this would probably work on me

@tad probably, presumably

@StuartKearney yes but I did not go to a meetup about keyboards ;)

@kevindente yes that is why ello is taking over the world https://t.co/ZFk5UOhFN5

@splattne look further in the replies!

@dirkhvb that .. is super cool

I have to express just how *weird* this postcard was. Nothing on it makes any sense, or is searchable in any form. It's also clearly hand addressed and marked. https://t.co/iowjERWgZT

all right so this is a Vignere cipher pointing to a Ready Player One ARPG?? https://t.co/ex3ljFu09b and https://t.co/m9G4LM14vn

@EmilStenstrom @RupertRawnsley GOD DAMN ARG https://t.co/vREAiU0WSt

@RupertRawnsley this is so close, but I don't understand how to fix the rest

@jchillerup no, it arrived marked that way

@duttakapil @Trevornoah no

@tqbf @discourse needs more browser support https://t.co/YANW4sF8nK

@donal_tweets @migueldeicaza yes but what country are you from? That makes a huge difference.

@migueldeicaza we can't have Discourse meetups in the USA at this point because we're not sure all of our team can get visas to visit (we are all remote, about 20% in the US)

@trevorobrien @vyedin @timeyoutakeit @LastWeekTonight John Oliver has passion, I guess? I mean stiff-upper-lip british.

@hsherman @joelmartinez yeah ratings seem to be good, so I suppose all is well? I think samantha bee and john oliver are 100x funnier though, for example.

@vyedin @timeyoutakeit I wouldn't say hate.. just meh. I think he reads as british to me? I know he is south african. Samantha Bee, for example, is 100x better

@joelmartinez they're not shared on Twitter, that's for sure

@joelmartinez I don't have any facebook account and no plans to ever have one.. I was referring to twitter

@joelmartinez timing, delivery.. generally don't find him funny. Rarely see clips of his bits tweeted.

@Pinboard And now you are one of the greatest Americans, my friend

@Pinboard I remember back in the day facebook would aggressively ask to scrape gmail and other competing service address books. But to prevent it on their end, they would only show *images* of address book data, not text.

@kotrunga the traditional way; read as much as possible. Run experiments, if there's a way to do so

@RageousX yeah well not every network releases a whole season at once!

@Gryzor @butr0s LIES

@ivmirx Definitely report to team@stackoverflow.com -- I haven't worked at SO in any capacity since Feb 2012

@AlexandraABowen let me know what you think at the end!

@0xcda7a @notwaldorf this eyeball thing is insane! 👁👁

@westondeboer halt and catch fire was quite sketchy in quality at times, though. Rectify is immaculately great.

@tobermatt 1x! divorce!!

@kwiens @panelpulp chin up, aqualad!!

@jonskeet @robconery @_JonDouglas This is the specific instance he's referring to https://t.co/SXApoACWxF (Deleted, so you'll need enough rep to see deleted answers)

@rands FortNITE .. reading FortNIGHT is like nails on a chalkboard ;)

@frankrichny @loydcase hey @pinboard, remember when you said asking people to switch away from Facebook was Just Too Darn Much To Ask of People? How about now, my friend?

@nicoleperlroth @alexstamos is this.. good or bad in your view @tqbf ?

@Frang https://t.co/pjpFySo0QN

@cshirky @om @superwuster @tim_cook @facebook @AppStore The alternative is China kicking them out of the country, isn't it? No shortage of Chinese companies looking to rake in those local mobile billions

@wimbokkers build an alternative if you feel strongly about it; or participate on https://t.co/MVKbgsCznt and suggest changes

@wimbokkers bear in mind if you're looking for opinion and discussions, that's not what SO does

@wimbokkers You'll know when people stop going there, as it is no longer producing useful results

@TheChadGrant I suggest providing details to the SO team -- when I was there we followed up on this sort of thing with extreme prejudice.

@jdpearce @robconery @spolsky @jonskeet I might not be the best person to ask, as I haven't worked there in any capacity since Feb 2012

@tedavery @Pinboard Normal people voted Trump, too. Change can happen.

@wimbokkers You're probably on SO because the system is fairly strict, and that strictness reliably produces quality questions and answers?

@TheChadGrant @robconery @spolsky @jonskeet unlikely, I personally worked on the anti ring up/down voting code circa 2009-2010. We're *very* strict about that stuff

@jdpearce @robconery @spolsky @jonskeet Nothing is so perfect it can't be improved -- I suggest engaging at https://t.co/Slfn3FGlfH if you have specific URLs to cite

@robconery @spolsky @jonskeet I need to see some specific examples -- can you provide the URLs? Usually this boils down to"I posted a discussion based opinion question, and I'm unhappy with the results." But I'd love to take a look at any URLs you can cite.
