@KristyT @Carnage4Life I'm glad you did! I made 150k/year as CEO of Stack Overflow way back in 2010-2011! Times have changed.

@Carnage4Life They're making bad hires, but they don't know that yet. The only good interview is a paid audition project.

@paulg @jdcmedlock where you live: % of households with 2 parents, % of residents who are college grads, and % of residents who return census forms. That's it. That's all. Everything else is nature. https://t.co/ZrG7XxrbtH

@Strongdoctah @epvh @discourse IMO the threshold for decent (native app-like) performance is ~50. Good performance (equivalent to native app) starts at ~100.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Strongdoctah @epvh They do for us at @discourse since we're an Ember app (one of the frameworks that is part of the Speedometer test). Really low speedometer scores are synonymous with "bad javascript app user experience" aka older Android phones :(

@Hanzo55 @eviltrout I'll believe it when we get a game that has anywhere near believable AI bot opponents. Haven't played a *single* one yet, which to me, is a tell.

@siracusa yeah I hope they go in a very different direction after Destiny. This just didn't do it at all for me. So many aspects of gameplay are just .. frustrating, confusing and/or fundamentally not enjoyable in Destiny. Could be RPG/FPS is impossible to do "right".

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa My friend and I gave up. Four hours in and we were just not having any fun. I did finish the original campaign years ago and it was ok.

@codinghorror
@anderseknert @Carnage4Life I did just watch "WeCrashed" so I might be a bit biased at the moment ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life Mostly true, but a not insignificant percent of people have serious difficulty with life/work balance without *some* other place to go to every day, and coworking is.. eh. At least in my experience this is true.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@djentboy yes, I agree! I don't want Bungie to fail here, they created amazing games in the past but Destiny is one giant head shake from me. I truly do NOT get it. At all.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
And for all that, at least Destiny 2 is (barely) in the top 10 Steam games for multiplayer! https://t.co/uidoagJuEZ

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
and just so that I'm not singling Destiny out, Battlefield 2042 (except the Portal mix&match mode, which basically lets you recreate Bad Company 2) has the whole "let's make this *super* complex" self inflicted wound as well: https://t.co/eNeu13gpww

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@number5 I do that and I have no idea where I am going or what is happening. Endless waves of the same respawning enemies?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa It could be that the FPS/RPG hybrid is inherently too complex, but I'll also say that I personally really dislike the aesthetic of Destiny.. like.. a lot. A *lot* a lot. "Space Marines" definitely gets old by Halo 6 for sure, but at least it's simple and understandable.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I have no idea what I am doing in Destiny 2, what any of it means, how any of it works.. it's a big ball of confusion.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Trying once more for Witch Queen but whatever Bungie does next.. please.. different direction

@donpark It’s an intentional reporting error to obfuscate actual sizes. Very bizarre design choice by Chrome. Google it.

A few more today.. in 10+ years of using GMail I've never seen such a simple pattern be so effective at evading their spam filters! Title "Invoice", body is just an image. I'm surprised they don't OCR all the images and send that OCR text to the classifier..? https://t.co/nSnI40Y8zp

@mattdarveniza well, you could argue that furmark and prime95 AVX/AVX2 are "power viruses", in that they are so unusual as use cases.. nobody is doing 24/7 prime calculation or furmarking for any practical reason?

@chetfaliszek the problem is that we have no way to help other than sending money and voting. Once you've voted, what else is there to do? (and you have a full time job + family, so you can't just "volunteer".) Serious question.

@Carnage4Life I have been thinking a lot about this lately. When we started Stack Overflow, in the very earliest calls, I remember @spolsky asking me what I would do if we had a big outcome. I said, "I would like to own my home." And for the renters, no equity at all..
