@tqbf this is about as likely as the electoral college voters flipping on Trump

@486timetable you don't say: oh wait, I already said that -- https://t.co/vcE7INlybI

@infogulch and that's a problem. Intel even got froze out

@486timetable effects of programmers vastly greater, amplified by devices. See: Facebook, etc.

@486timetable uh.. programmers? plumbers? us?

@486timetable yeah, because a trillion devices in a trillion people's pockets isn't relevant to real life or anything. Good plan

@infogulch or Qualcomm could just.. stop sucking

@patmeenan well maybe it beats the pride of 2014, the iPhone 6... so.. yay?

@sarahjeong @mslopatto concussions are really scary. After I had one I could no longer type on a keyboard, and couldn't remember words I needed to say

@Beschizza this will never, ever happen.. it's as hopeless as the electoral college voters defecting on trump

@kapowaz @rands my point is that influx of new users is perhaps THE most critical metric for any community. Without it you are dead.

@rands is this a problem you're seeing in the leadership slack community?

@rands When it is all cranky old timers, yes.

@rands Not necessarily, as long as there is a regular influx of new folks

@Hanzo55 this is just lame

@ow sweet, DOUBLE LENGTH TWEETSTORMS

@zemlyansky IOS 11 includes a file browser app https://t.co/SquBCJxgby

@vobreshkov data isn't biased. Run the benchmarks yourself.

@0xFF69B4 I live for that 💩

@mikl yep, I did. Try it yourself if you don't believe me.

@mayankdotnet Qualcomm is bad and should feel bad. I would like to destroy their facility and salt the earth so nothing can ever grow there again

@gbildson @KlausGradinger @discourse crushing it faster means you can return to idle faster. That's where the huge power savings are. See: https://t.co/CSx91Gr6Xb

@gbildson @KlausGradinger @discourse yep, also.. 117 on iPhone 7... 175 on iPhone 8 (!)

@KlausGradinger @gbildson @discourse my standards are higher. I want indistinguishable from modern laptop speeds on phone. We have it (and then some) with iPhone 8

@KlausGradinger @gbildson you guys are aware that https://t.co/KFX8Y4SpDI is.. actual.. web apps, right? Correlates 100% with @discourse perf.

@seesee a used iPhone is going to be a better deal for 95% of folks, unless they just gotta have the Android ecosystem.

@Saketme it was closer in 2013-2014, when all hardware was slower. Apple is building dramatically faster hardware. Guess who.. isn't?

@gbildson the qualcomm hardware is really, _really_ bad

@MatjazDrolc it is relative to iPhone 8, but, depends how much you like OLED. Sadly for me I like it *A LOT*

@MatjazDrolc ☹️

@dhh iPhone 8 scores 222

@clementsiby @SamsungSA Yes, now if they could pair it with a SOC that didn't suck (aka Qualcomm), they'd have something ;)

@randileeharper I’m with you on this. Same reason you want spammers to reveal themselves. Know your enemy.

@Hanzo55 a licky boom boom down!

@JohnONolan see https://t.co/lkc5kNYJtB

@kylembrandt the only negative feedback I get is that sometimes I am TOO awesome

@chriscoyier this is your finest work Chris I am so proud to know you as a human being

@rossrubin same criticism could be levelled at Apple Newton in both dimensions

@sgrif just use a battery case. Done and done. The data in that graph tells the story.

@danluu I non-ironically admire the depth of obsession here

@sgrif See also https://t.co/Kl0cHCpsVM

@sgrif This reflects a profound misunderstanding: faster chips get to idle faster and stay there longer

@kirisviel It depends on the tailwinds, see longest plane flights on Wikipedia

@StevenIrby We ain’t that rich

@rands Both iPhone 8 plus and iPhone X

@gknauss I need you to hold me, Greg

@gknauss Just installed? Some reports say it has to reindex stuff for a while after install.

@patmeenan @checkmateui @chriseppstein You need a snapdragon 820 and 835 in here. Spoiler: they will still be slow.

@balpha GIRD YOUR FOREHEADS @df07

@yesTeaPea I have learned beards are important in India!

whyyy didn't I buy one of these for @deadprogrammer

@kwiens See https://t.co/ukKk4w5T26

@gknauss I support this initiative 110%

@gknauss Childhood is overrated anyway

@smlpth @discourse @StackOverflow Well now you are just being way too nice

@PavanGayakwad My fault I was not drinking enough water

@PavanGayakwad I have tried and I almost got heatstroke! :)

@Ramakanth_d Jodhpur

@tqbf We solve this by hiring outside the US

@Gryzor @discourse Obviously

@Gryzor iPad Pro is this year's @discourse company gift to employees. Just sayin' ;)

@kevindente ohh yesssss I'll be in my bunk

@60hz @leahculver @alicegoldfuss @grlalx Only effective way to support is to send money. You can of course invite others to send money, too. Twibbons don't cut it.

@xor @Azumanga @EFF US *and* Europe, then?

@Azumanga @xor @EFF The problem is, web is global but EFF works only within the framework of one country's laws. But USA super important, right?

@xor @EFF You want my honest opinion? Fuck the USA

@xor @EFF The practical outcome is the security research will come from Russia and China, who can't be touched by laws. I am fine with this.

@xor @EFF The EFF position here is a mountain of FUD vs. end users getting simple non-plugin browser based paid video streams

@xor @EFF The bounties guarantee they will find them, and get paid for them. Money always wins. And piracy is a given, for "color blind gamut shift"

@xor @EFF I am sure the armies of Chinese and Russian hackers are super worried about these anti-circumvention laws

@xor @EFF Also, do we really care if breaking EME "in the US" is a crime? It will happen elsewhere. And it should. World Wide Web, right?

@xor @EFF Was it really workable? https://t.co/g0hS6VcgSc

@xor @EFF Inevitable IMO. There is no drm that will ever be acceptable to EFF, is there?

@leahculver @alicegoldfuss @grlalx All these public out-humble-each-other hashtags are a bad idea. Just send money to support causes instead

@gosaka Orbi is what I recommend, dedicated backhaul to satellite unlike eero

@johnolilly I apologize but can you elaborate on this? Too many likes? Not enough?

@deadprogrammer @discourse Ooo for racing

@sourabh_86 @discourse Johdpur actually

@KumarVimal @discourse In Johdpur courtesy of @techAPJ !

@tqbf there are a LOT of people that just fundamentally do not get punching up vs down

@ILOVETHEHAWK See this is why in 2018 we should go to Singapore with @tgx_world

@paulg Get him a Steam Machine instead. Tons of great indie games and huge catalog. Also works with Xbox controller

@ratbum Yes it was surprising but the stats were overwhelming in my case. Let me be the first to say 'ELLOOOO GUV'NOR

@ElCerritoPD That is ... quite the logo image for this tweet El Cerrito PD

@yamthatiam Very VERY English apparently

@sgrif Jet Airways there Air India back

@wilshipley https://t.co/X9vr91CMee

@samsaffron @ILOVETHEHAWK Hate is such a strong word.. I think of them more like frenemies

@shobhitic This is really just a Discourse team event organized by us and @techAPJ

@ReasonsForGod @ILOVETHEHAWK That is what I keep telling everyone! Except the 🐷 episode

@mathowie Worthy of @joshmillard

@Baffo_il Also Johnny Mnemonic has u covered yo

@Baffo_il It is a 36 hour trip in actuality factoring in layovers and setup times

@kevindente Based on my experiences with Windows Hello and Surface Pro 4 & 5 I am less optimistic. Remember touchid v1 was so-so

@ILOVETHEHAWK I wish Season 4 was out! Not until October though. https://t.co/vV4YhA4mDJ

@paulg You can't tell me average journalists don't aspire to be Woodward and Bernstein

@paulg That sounds like a pretty boring job, Paul.

@paulg The role of journalists is to question power. Tech, these days, is the obvious power. We see ourselves as outcasts, not kings.

@paulg the power dyamic has changed. Computers rule the world now and everyone can see that, because they all carry one 24/7. Not true in 2005.

@timbray Africa is the youngest continent in the world. I think that's good. In 30 years the first world will be so bland and old demographically
