@peregrine it is a bummer, but if this doesn't work, I can't think of anything else that will, either.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drewhutchison when walking away is not an option, you develop the skills to improve and deal with it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drewhutchison stated another way, you can walk away from literally anything else as an adult.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drewhutchison not trying at all; it's just other human beings are a hard problem, and having kids puts that problem front-and-center and unavoidable

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drewhutchison there are other ways to get there. But few of them kick your ass quite the way your kid will, for the entirety of your life.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@negativland2006 you can also meet some pretty bloody horrible children

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg I can agree that he has changed for the better over the last 14 years.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg Zuck has changed over the last 14 years. He had kids, which in my book is one of the biggest changes you go through.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek @Justins white chocolate is WRONG

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke I specifically meant statements like "all {this color/gender of people} are.." which is just.. terrible.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke yeah I was thinking more of "men speaking to men", "women speaking to women" only. Like I would correct a dude who said "women are trash".

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke and I'm super tired of gender wars, which I don't think helps anyone, ever.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke well, I don't agree. If a man says "women are trash" that is just as BS to me as a woman saying "men are trash". Fuel for gender wars.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke see also https://t.co/nGj5dFKLrh

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke I think generalities about people are dangerous across the board, for everyone. "All {anything} are.."

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke aw come on, if a man said "women are trash" that would not get any kind of pass

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg Well yeah because he won the world. It is easier to be generous as the king.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza See my recent tweet, you should be pissed at sites that serve webp, nobody appears to want it except Google

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
"Webp is not a good format" https://t.co/naLRGwPvHI

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza I can confirm webp images are saved as webp on drag n drop in Chrome. Webp is so rarely supported though this is not a common format

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles how expensive are scanning services, roughly? ballpark? I am curious

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@orliph @discourse Thanks! There have been a few: Google for "coding horror jeff atwood interview" without the quotes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza @supdegrave use Firefox in that specific scenario; it doesn't support webp at all.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza webp isn't supported in many browsers though https://t.co/jp4NLCUWpu suggestion: use firefox for this workflow

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza now if the target image is a webp, yeah, drag it to desktop, it stays webp. I can repro that but.. expected?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza from a webpage to the desktop? No repro.. I drag a .jpg image from https://t.co/mr6lWeG5qP to desktop, it's a .jpg (asus ad)

@mmustapic No bug I cannot get enough of you. I'm coming over.

Jeff Atwood

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza I don't think this is happening?

@kwiens @chad_ramos anything not M2 pci express interface based is pretty slow these days but you may need a system upgrade (Skylake or later)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chad_ramos @kwiens That's the goal!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mmustapic @kwiens Yeah I am removing it to put in the samsung 960 pro pci SSD and also more memory

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@robpickering @galka_max Interesting I wonder which states would need to be removed for CA to be equal to? NY, TX, FL? https://t.co/XppNHJquta

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wiqd @discourse why do you say that?

@kevinmarks @matthewlmcclure @rabois I think @rabois is afraid to take the bet because I guarantee he would lose. He already lost in fact.

@BenedictEvans @smk @rabois @kevinmarks @tobiaspatton @timbray The app world is easy. Step One: Be Facebook.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmarks @zkirill @BenedictEvans @smk @rabois @tobiaspatton @timbray Why would that matter? Apple has more than lapped Android on overall performance. Android flagships are barely 50% as fast.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BenedictEvans @smk @rabois @kevinmarks @tobiaspatton @timbray App install is monstrously prohibitive vs. "tap link"

@KristyT very very bad. We're WICKED SMART AND BUILDING THE WHOLE WORLD JUST LOOK AROUND YOU

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@KristyT have you met... programmers? 🙄

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BenedictEvans @rabois @kevinmarks @tobiaspatton @timbray I suppose this is why https://t.co/vT0kga7ZMV shut down its website

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@heri @TeslaMotors average bigco is not like tesla, they are quite unique.

@tqbf My immediate reaction was a checkbox on the form that says "it is OK to pass my info on to the target site".. default on, can be checked off

@codinghorror
@Ciwan1859 GOOD NEWS! You can read this article! https://t.co/vL5cfPFpxs

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zeynep @reanimationxp @MweneChanga @zachlatta blaming users for security problems is never correct... always blame the design first.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zeynep @reanimationxp @MweneChanga @zachlatta google should be blocking "things that use the actual word google" in these cases. Always unicode fake chars to use though..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@thejaredgrey @AliciaHawkes @_tizzle was this state specific? What state do you live in? Would it have been better in a different state?

@cwodtke "When you are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Rarst @swissspidy it's this completely insane random jumble of features that makes zero sense as a coherent add-on. It is dessert topic and floor wax

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kesterallen Just wanted everyone to know I never recommend something I am not willing to do myself.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kesterallen I sent $1000!

Jeff Atwood

@patio11 electric cars are going to seriously disrupt this long term. They're way, way simpler than gasoline based cars.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zofrex I would get the voyage instead, personally.

@codinghorror
@wilshipley Ask for the "tablet" version of a popular Android app and enjoy the stony silence.. at least iPad is common "enough" for dev

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley Android is especially not great on tablets. Hardware slowness + lack of large apps exacerbated there. OLED screen literally the only plus.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley It is a Windows 10 tablet as I said. There are effectively zero Android tablets worth buying.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I don't. I have a Samsung windows 10 OLED tablet though! And a surface 4 pro etc.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley How is it heterogenous? I am required by law to have my phone with me at all times, and I bring one "bonus" device..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley Not being able to see twitter is a feature, for reading.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley eink is way way better than LCD for reading. Try it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rabois @kevinmarks @tobiaspatton @timbray Can you even name five "important" companies without a website?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp they have several for Kindle, e.g. https://t.co/Zax4gDc2sL

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rabois @kevinmarks @tobiaspatton @timbray sorry I was in VR so it was hard to see that. I'm in VR 24/7 these days. I never leave.

@codinghorror
@ftrain at the Florida-Alamaba beach hotel, on the elevator, from one of our 5 year old twins as the doors are closing: "GOODBYE STRANGERS!!"

@belmikey awww I got all excited and checked spam folder and.. nope :(

Jeff Atwood

@SuperDalgas @df07 you are like patient zero Dalgas seriously, not even joking with this

Jeff Atwood

@rabois @kevinmarks It's 2017. Ain't nobody on the web but us chickens.

@joshmillard @ironicsans clicking that was better than Cats. I would click it again, and again.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie @sthig see https://t.co/YLHQpLc2pf the reveal is that it requests TOTAL access to email. Full control.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zachlatta @zeynep wow "read, send, delete and manage your email" that should have a bright red alert glyph next to it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ZachWeiner Just do 3 weeks of poop and butt jokes like usual! Come on this is easy!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wycats @mattt416 @samsaffron @eviltrout we eventually got where we needed to go. Ruby people are *AWFUL* about understanding that performance is, in fact, a very important feature

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcgravell @Dell pretty sure that violates the Hippocratic Oath

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mattt416 probably, ember.js has been more.. challenging, but they have adapted with (cough) pushing

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rkoutnik pretty sure he meant "forum", perhaps a typo?

@seesharp I loved it because I love dark comedies! This one is so California. Also the director who did Wild and Dallas Buyers' Club. Big fan

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jarredsumner fair, but there's no _doubt_ that this is the nadir of American politics

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@LukeD @MaxCRoser still pedantry, because it's pretty close to a straight (up & right) line even if you manually etch-a-sketch between the data points!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@LukeD @MaxCRoser sooo pedantic. "up and to the right".. better? ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@conlific Great price for what you get though IMO. Plus it comes with keyboard cover that is $100+ on iPad and Surface.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@conlific It could be good or bad depending on your take of Windows 10 on a tablet. Perf wise it is what I said. My use is video so I wanted it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg sure, skull face is a bit xtreme, but there are some *really* cool helmets available out there now. Like.. really cool.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg yeah but you didn't have helmets this badass either https://t.co/7zMFEQOG0L
