@Beschizza nah, there is a reason Windows phone is not even an also ran. It cuts deep.

@paulcbetts @DrPizza @Beschizza simple fact of not allowing arbitrary high end gaming video cards

@Beschizza tell that to the smartphones in everyone's pockets! Geeks are like the dog who chased and caught the proverbial bus

@Beschizza nah, computers were always just Windows(tm) into other people. UNIX was multi user from day zero.

@Beschizza well yeah I have been saying this for a year, nobody listens

@Beschizza eh, it's not that bad. The fact that VR is utterly tied to PC is completely hilarious though

@theotherlinh I saw it has a SD slot!

@drhogie the Voyage is a LOT better. Retina.

@Gryzor it's because @tweetbot sucks cc: @kevindente @betsyphd

@gknauss https://t.co/hURRTRv3wm

@gknauss this is why I don't like having a voice phone number

@StuCoxMedia current iPad Pro keyboard integration is quite weak IMO

@NSpehler yeah these are little perks though, not features to seriously upgrade over.

@FarshadNayeri Air 2 is without a doubt the pinnacle of the entire iPad line. So good.

@stooovie @ahsteele not quite, I think cheap (and better quality cheap) laptops also ate their lunch to some degree.

@datao lol that will never happen. Surface Pro has it though and it's AWESOME

@0xabad1dea get the 12" pro ;)

@0xabad1dea 2gb was fucking *huge*, 1gb is piteously small these days. 4gb can wait one more gen. (Full size Pro has 4gb tho)

@migueldeicaza the Air 2 is quite fast even by Discourse standards. Air 1, meh.. but it's a 1GB device and needs to die anyway.

@Gryzor it's the only memory/price point where it is close to the Air 2 it "replaced". $50 is not bad.

@ZachWeiner your mom

@kevindente you can reason about 20k different bits of code at once? Unlikely

@betsyphd @kevindente pretty sure this counts as spousal abuse

@SavedYouAClick yeah I rotate my middle finger upward to that

@kevindente yeah but imagine 20k of those classes came from 20k different rando devs

@textfiles are you coming over for dinner?

@textfiles I could probably walk there, no lie

@ftrain ZERO DARK CRANKY

@kevindente a) no feature parity with Twitter (do polls even work?) b) it looks like emulsified ass

@kevindente just that particular app, actually. It's shitty.

@kevindente tweetbot fucking sucks, man

@pmg @Beschizza a+++ story would read again

@textfiles https://t.co/vRMPpR9Zgx

@textfiles looking thinner

@Beschizza lol

@waxpancake solid

@PetrPeller @aebyeg @stuckidotme <sigh> we're gonna have to benchmark this, aren't we?

@CodenameLaurenn you do look pretty awesome!

@chenoehart there's some evidence here: https://t.co/pzWalpx1Hd

@chenoehart I will still block if people are being straight up a-holes. I have a low tolerance for that these days.

@sanderdatema @arunoda well there is https://t.co/kr2tlXJdvA

@o__rety @sarahcpr it wasn't serious?

@damienkatz are your kids going to a strip club without you?

@KoryNunn @markbrown4 and how do you reason about a project with 1,000 third-party dependencies? Or 10,000? Or 100,000?

@mstum I beg to differ

@kwiens horrible, Luddites.

@remoorejr @DanB symptom of a much deeper problem with VR. https://t.co/M9uU3F4W8e

@Beschizza I know sadly and ultimately UNIX was just broken in easier to deal with ways. Let's party like it is 1980!

@billybigpotatoe hmm I can't dig out a video from this? just .m3u8 files which are text?

@billybigpotatoe excellent! Could I get a copy of the video for personal use? jatwood@codinghorror.com

@kwiens @beetee24 is that enough? Why isn't there a "windshield self repair" kit for tablets? We need one!

@kwiens @beetee24 is there any solution to just paste over the cracks with a clear strong adhesive, like auto window crack repair?

@beetee24 have you looked at iPad Air 2? The screens are 100% bonded.. it is not like the Air cc @kwiens score 2/10 for repairability.

@johnolilly don't worry, children are still the future! Teach them well, and let them lead the way!

@Beschizza you'll be posting the build info on BB yes? +1!

@386dx sure, so they pay taxes on all that ;)

@MehrdadA but mah gigabytes

@llamapixel Air 2 is different class of device and has different repair guides + costs

@cwodtke not really

@kevindente rumors say 4gb, I believe it

@DrPizza @IanCutress https://t.co/xENOZlQEx3

@DrPizza @IanCutress not in 2005 that's for sure

@siracusa does it matter?

@IanCutress awesome! redis, postgres, and generic web hosting perf I assume is already covered? Ruby is its own beast w/r/t perf sadly

@databuryat in my experience, people *wildly* overestimate the perf impact of "more cores" and *wildly* underestimate clock speed impact

@databuryat yeah but naive purchasers will buy a "great" server with 20 cores at low clockspeeds, but perf'd be better with 4 fast cores.

@databuryat yes no shit, I am able to see and process graphs

@ILOVETHEHAWK weird I see zero log events in our end and external monitors have not tripped

@paulcbetts @mathowie to be fair I do like Android OS 5 and 6 a lot. Qualcomm is almost two years behind Apple at this point though.

@sebbean people barely read beyond the title, so .. unless the main point is described early on, it effectively isn't there for many

@paulcbetts @mathowie lol javascript is horrendous on it, as per usual. It's actually *broken* right now. Literally.

@wilshipley if by dying you mean systematically killing off the weakest parts of myself then YES

@elwoodbremer @betsyphd @AndrewWrites I am kind of a big deal

@ZeroBugsFaster the Wii kinda stopped being popular rather dramatically, though

@samthebrand @lizardbill sometimes just let the data speak for itself. This is one of those times

@samthebrand @lizardbill the gender statements in the analysis were very ill advised

@PrintsCharming @siracusa unlikely, would take more storage, somewhere, plus new code paths. Just increasing framebuffer/res is "easy"

@siracusa I suppose we can think of it as GPU framebuffer, so I guess that counts? https://t.co/Wq2wsAY5CX

@siracusa debatable

@billjohnston oh my bad it was acquired in 2011 https://t.co/vsPoLByaiv

@billjohnston tweetdeck is not a Twitter product....

@eviltrout it's like the Kinect all over again, so much space needed

@DrPizza @siracusa yeah, that's more analogous, but shipping a new GPU box with every game :D lol

@siracusa that's memory, though, not "graphics" which could be loosely defined as CPU or GPU

@ID_AA_Carmack perhaps! If stuff like this actually happens, there is hope: https://t.co/P8uS1SPpeh

@GuiAmbros money can't change the (current) laws of physics, w/r/t battery, displays, necessary wireless bandwidth.. same with Newton.

@OhNoSheTwitnt accurate

@amittm @sknthla @BenLesh with those batteries and thermals and displays? The actual physics are quite daunting.

@JohnONolan I am in the mood for some tech drama, links?

@sknthla @BenLesh 2019 is *wildly* optimistic. We need a whole new console generation at absolute minimum.

@hernaez this is a good point. I do feel unconstrained hype about VR becomes harmful. It's just a super, super hard problem.

@slsoftworks except display physics! and wireless data physics! and thermals! and battery! and.. well, I think you get the idea ;)

@RBStalin high school athletes should be paid

@JohnONolan ok but more specifically? is it like asking Firefox to build in an ad blocker?

@jorm our cousins!

@textfiles wow Alan Kay

@textfiles I bought one of those a few months ago and I highly recommend it

@lizardbill lots and lots of body shots

@dSebastien you can change your company, or you can change your company

@brada @googlecloud nice ;)
