@siracusa My eyes have been permanently scarred by not seeing 4k / 60fps

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donohoe @chriscoyier heard of it, but it is WILDLY different from porridge

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chriscoyier chowder is an insanely weird thing to substitute for porridge, imnsho

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chriscoyier er.. chowder? porridge, my man. never chowder, never heard of that

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss start em on the 'roids early, I say

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@harpaa01 you can't find my email on my blog?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie I also find the chocolate and ice cream aren't.. fancy.. enough for my refined tastes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TheBrockEllis send an email to me if you have not already

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie I really want to like It's-It so much, but the ingredient quality.. eehhhh

@codinghorror
@luiscerezo not symmetric cores though, so not quite the same thing. big / little etc

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ftrain you know what though Paul the kids love it. Try it on yours. Seriously.

@codinghorror
said biz could easily sustain 1, possibly 2 developers full time as in "quit your job and be an entrepreneur" + it is IMO interesting prob

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nabeel yes but the name of the company signed them up for this problem on day zero

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lloeki no, I bought the RAM and installed it.. took pictures and everything

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
us: fix it supermicro
supermicro: we finally tested with your CPU and whaddaya know you're right
us: god damn right, we're right

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @synopsi I mean if I *had* to

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @synopsi I would literally kill a man, to get a 4k OLED screen on my desktop.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@synopsi @johnolilly have I mentioned that I like screens? I really like screens.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@synopsi @johnolilly I think because it is (almost) edge to edge the effective screen is same size as plus? Checking.. 5.8 vs. 5.5 on the plus. It's *bigger*

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly I agree, except.. OLED is really *that* good, though. Black becomes infinitely black. Colors pop.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Flatpanels @SuchirKavi @willcharczuk @ID_AA_Carmack yes but you are comparing apples to oranges; tablet TDP is much greater than phone TDP

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Flatpanels @SuchirKavi @willcharczuk @ID_AA_Carmack well yes that is why A11X will come along in ~12 months

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@erikdbwestlund @hklaiho @joshprismon yes AMD has Broadwell level single threaded speed which is decent, but the real push is around 2x the number of cores as Intel for same $

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donpark Give them the fake danger pin that erases everything!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aegies You forgot to add "rekt" to the end there.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aegies The whole thread was about Reddit taking action and removing hate / racist spaces. If piling on someone makes you feel good, go for it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aegies Ok, enjoy your pile ons then. Consider what kind of world you are creating in the process.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aegies So when something bad happens to you, make sure something bad happens to others as well? Eye for an eye?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aegies @anildash @klarrimore @_jasonmit And you (plus others) piling on and adding "rekt" improves that dialog.. how?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aegies @anildash @klarrimore @_jasonmit And beating the crap out of one person in public accomplishes that goal.. how?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@diogohmarques @zofrex Right I was proposing long PIN alternative for the security paranoid tribe

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash @ID_AA_Carmack You ain't wrong

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash @klarrimore @_jasonmit If you have a house and say "oh, this is our racism room" then you have a bad house

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash @klarrimore @_jasonmit It seems obvious to me that not putting "r/fatpeoplehate" next door to "r/gaming" and "r/askscience" is a good thing

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SuchirKavi @willcharczuk @ID_AA_Carmack wow the A10x is just a tiny bit behind the A11 in performance

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ID_AA_Carmack Apple making ARM chips for any kind of server or console or traditional computer would be very, *very* interesting

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner I'm thinking "will it ever leave the Tim Cook Just a Hobby category", but probably it will given ever-tinier electronics

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner we'll have to see what the sales figures show over time

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner honestly the most compelling apple watch use case I've heard is from women who don't have pockets on their clothing

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Phorbie yeah that was already confirmed in earlier replies! So they hold you in place and point the device at your head..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner wait wait I got it! POCKET WATCH!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner oh yeah me too. I just don't think of watch that way at all. Watch I think of as "annoying thing requiring attachment to my body 24/7"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mega_me depends on TDP budget of the part, also generational family, read closer

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner I mean after the watch, then the eFedora and we're all back in the 1940s, man

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner ah yes the Amazon eInk Reader scenario. I'm familiar with the logic! Also, I *really* don't want to wear a watch :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner valid for music listening and other not-screen-intensive activities I suppose. My head is in phablet space, man. SCREEN

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner more seriously, "tiny iphone 4" (seriously go look at that thing now) to "phablet" means market says screen matters, and watch = teeny tiny

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner I did go through a swatch phase in my life. Best not discussed.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly @twittner I do not want to wear a watch.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@supreetpal @siddharthkp The Man

@codinghorror
@Broonix or they could just forcibly hold you in place while conscious, and put the phone facing you to unlock.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Gryzor 10 years android dev experience minimum

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DanB because it seems like a really problematic, unreliable solution at first blush, no pun intended?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JohnONolan nah you just run the official Linux subsystem in Windows 10 now. It's native, then you get no compromises Unix + Windows in one machine.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JohnONolan however if your laptop must run OS X then yes, but other than that.. no.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JohnONolan not true at all, actually -- way more flexibility in non Apple laptop choices today.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GeospatialMe no kidding Qualcomm is a fucking disaster, so pissed about that.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx so make an intel powered tablet, then. Oh it has been tried? I didn't notice ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@HelgeKlein also those comments refer to geekbench 3, this is geekbench 4.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@HelgeKlein pretty accurately depicts javascript performance in my testing, which is all I care about.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza no, only at 12am pacific time. easy!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rc55 we have actual bugs we're running into that require the new BIOS, so that'd be self-defeating

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nerflad @Pete_Brown @TailsFox88 @shanselman surely you can carry a lightning headphone adapter dongle along with the other musical equipment. It's tiny.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pete_Brown @TailsFox88 @shanselman looks like Apple will immenently reverse course due to massive sales decline, then ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tobermatt aw come on it was 2002 nobody knew any better back then

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pamelafox Pro tip: yoyos are much more entertaining! I own lots of both, just my opinion https://t.co/kaXdy9TRpf

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@betsyphd good news: they maintainted policy, e.g. mandating it for schools, was effective!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@betsyphd The backfire effect is super bad though: https://t.co/M9mN29CkEI

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pete_Brown @TailsFox88 @shanselman they have 500lbs of rando audio equipment / cables but this singular adapter is the straw that breaks the camel's back? unlikely.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sh4na I thought the comparison with Gone Home was really interesting, but I typically hate all these super linear storytelling clickers.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TailsFox88 @shanselman otherwise it just reads as luddism. Vote with your wallet, but the floppy drive went away for a reason.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman No floppy drive either!

@ignacioHG @Pinboard Used iPhones are often your best bet. Apple quality very high, so less risk than rando 💩 Android device

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard Not quite true the architecture of Android was poorly suited for this, see Project Treble which will help some

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard Nah they can get the iPhone 7 cheap once the 8 is out

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard It's a union isn't it, like robitussin just rub it in there real good

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@patio11 Compiler? Pointers? No. Webapp, sure.
