@dubya_brian @codejake link? The depth of people's visceral hate of Clinton really surprised me. To me she was just OK, but hate?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dubya_brian @codejake there is no cultural revolution, just.. a woman with way too much political baggage running for president.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dubya_brian @codejake honestly? Clinton had way too much baggage, and was a woman. That got us Trump. In a squeaker.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dubya_brian @codejake more seriously, Trump is a *disaster* as a leader. Obama did not harm American values. Trump absolutely does.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BrettRichey @johnolilly I suspect if twitter dropped Trump, he'd move to Facebook. There is no escape my friends

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dubya_brian @codejake kill 'em all

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codejake At this point, I'm ready to go to literal war with that half of the country. Guns and all.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codejake yeah but some of this stuff is insane. DeVos is incompetent. But we got party line vote + 2 "if we're gonna win anyway.." switches

@BlessQuarshie "too many repeated characters" then?

@snellingio ah cannot contain. Excellent idea..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@alonsorobles no length rules, so 1 char password is OK?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mentalplex I am quite confident in what I said

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@malcolmsheridan @jongalloway 12 is sufficient even for the tinfoil hat crowd.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mentalplex in our children's lifetimes I do hope this comes to pass. It won't in ours.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@koollman length first, with a basic simple entropy check. yes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sniperjava not really since that is all <img> tags

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danluu the device should perform this img tag optimization itself, really

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danluu I can add some JS lib that suppresses images until scrolled into view, it is a fair point

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kgrz I just use a lot of large retina class images in my blog posts. Pretty sure Img tags don't block.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bates_thomas I think it is just images as the homepage has 4 blog entries at once

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kgrz pretty sure that is just homepage images. Try an individual blog post

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danluu 23mb for my blog is probably images on the homepage for each blog entry?

@cwodtke wow you can even do that? I have like 3 surface pens I've never used (from Surface 1, 2, 3, and 4)

@kvetchup If the product designer can't say no then the product is doomed. https://t.co/wFBj7rSdrr

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup it's not that they literally don't care; they have more important things to do: https://t.co/zoZd14J6AP

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup every user lies https://t.co/ZWWcRAULTE

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup In the end, I think we can both agree on one thing: Phil sucks.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup TL;DR nobody gives a shit about our software, which is why they don't want to talk to us.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@damienkatz you guys are reimplementing an API, aren't you

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup yes, but often the only way to have that "talk" is to take things away. Like Cinderella once said: https://t.co/B0KKyrgyGc

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup Except Phil, who sucked. And is now blocked.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup ask who? Every single user? Every single customer? Have perfect usage analytics? NOBODY. WAS. ARGUING. AGAINST. DATA.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup ALSO, every feature has a cost. In code, in mental overhead, in support. Value of "that one guy" not > cost.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup FURTHERMORE, even the people "using" a feature may not really be depending on it such that they CARE.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup because, unless you are mother f'in GOD, you can't know EVERY user using EVERY feature. Turning it off sees if anyone does.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup @inpHilltr8r Phil sucks. He's gone.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup @inpHilltr8r AGAIN: NOBODY. WAS. ARGUING. AGAINST. THAT. -- I'll keep typing this as needed.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup @inpHilltr8r NOBODY. WAS. ARGUING. AGAINST. THAT.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup @inpHilltr8r that's some made up bullshit in Phil's head.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup @inpHilltr8r if your product is all things to all users, it is doomed

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup @inpHilltr8r and sometimes, features are flat out *mistakes*. Sunk cost fallacy : "we gotta keep going!"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup @inpHilltr8r it is a tragedy of the commons issue. "But my pet feature!" Not all products can/should fill every possible role

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup @inpHilltr8r the alternative is "every feature lives forever for all time" which leads to product demolition in long run

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kvetchup @inpHilltr8r every feature is used by someone, yes? But the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@inpHilltr8r you seem angry, Phil. Not sure what the problem is, but perhaps look inward first.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza but who among us will stand up and defend the abstract concept of marriage from the gays, Rob?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@inpHilltr8r @RichRogersIoT removing unused features means less bugs + makes room for new features that will be used

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf ok that is the answer I was looking for, thanks!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf hosting user generated content?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf errrr I don't get it. It took them four years and seems Nobel prize hard to do so.. not worth it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie the problem is there are too many Republican members of congress. That's what needs fixing.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@inpHilltr8r @RichRogersIoT not really high risk in my experience. Most people use a tiny subset of software.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ftrain hey you are in SF! Please accept my nearby regional hug.

@hexalys security through obscurity isn't smart. Not patching leads to exploits, period.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hexalys public version numbers is not an exploit, and if you think it is, you are very bad at your job.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jessamyn the "alternate realities" lead quote made me laugh (not in a good way!). These people are insane.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@frankcifaldi @Beschizza I looked up Ken Huebner of "Softrek" software who made this insanity and I can't find him today

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose @Max_Horstmann discussion is just another symptom of "this is radically different thing" IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose @Max_Horstmann still, it is a radically different thing. "question I actually have" vs. "speculative text nobody may need"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Max_Horstmann @kevinmontrose at the point where "discussion" has been shoehorned in, might be a good time to stop and reflect..

Jeff Atwood

@vyedin bluetooth keyboard! They make some really good ones that have special tablet support etc

@reelbump @chetfaliszek true it is more realistically $1800 to play a VR game (on pc)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon why you gotta taunt the Tufte

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek the market is small because it costs a grand to even play a single VR game. Forget sickness.

@bondskew I can no longer assume reasonable decisions are being made by reasonable people, see https://t.co/8gTIcuAkdT
