@lefticus @chaiscript if you feel you are close "enough" to the limit that a discussion community would work, try the form anyway!

@kevindente the licensing was jacked, which is not uncommon.. licensing is hard to get right if you don't start right

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@raanan was thinking about this.. what are your top 5 things you say to it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon well that'd be easy. Basically, hire anyone.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshk I see someone woke up a little cranky today ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles @KevinSavetz these are awesome

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ninjaweasel yes I am a huge Battlefield fan, I could not get into the Star Wars stuff though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Thebettafish gets realll old after the 100th or 1000ndth time though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@IfErrThrowBrick yeah 45 minutes of guaranteed underperform/afk loss is way way too much

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly weak ideas, strongly held

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp I used the 10 million top list on GitHub linked in the replies to that tweet, extracted 10+ char only out of it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@itsjakerobb I don't disagree but that's a whole different ball of wax

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcprecipice @timoreilly anything other than encryption by default all the time is increasingly the wrong choice

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie drumpf always does a kind of duckface in his photos, doesn't he?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cshirky this? https://t.co/6a5O4ATLhO Not sure I'm super down with "panoramic photos = VR"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Buffer_Cat yep, but that's a different problem.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Buffer_Cat try "remembera10+password"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ShaneX also, 8 hours? This is barely a difference. Add a few more chars and try again.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ShaneX read the article. $40k buys a lot of GPUs, or rent a cloud with GPUs.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ShaneX 8 chars is about 60 seconds https://t.co/nPpJKKOs6c

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ShaneX statistically speaking, nope

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ShaneX not better, longer. We also expect people to lock their cars and houses.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ShaneX 8 char passwords are no security at all these days.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza this is true, drone healthcare is much cheaper

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg true, but you have to watch / measure what users do, not only talk to users

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles recommend me a best episode

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I'll see you in hell

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcprecipice they don't understand why the first call to action is direct contact between the flagger and the poster.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcprecipice I get hassled all the time because the flag dialog in Discourse looks like this. But you know why! https://t.co/2ff1T3Gn68

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles just sayin', IRC is a hideous abomination. And you guys DID use it, as you just said..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcprecipice perhaps anonymous feedback is not a good idea. "If you'd be willing to say it in person.."

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles @internetarchive no human should ever use IRC, it is a cancerous cyst on the anus of the world

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles IRC is literally cancer of the face. I can't understate how much I hate it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles that's surprising since I had to go to IRC to give positive feedback to archive team. And I fuckin' HATE irc.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jamiedixon @balpha you can embody it by going out and paying it forward -- helping others in kind. Much more meaningful.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AJFarkas you can blur between frames at any frame rate.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles @internetarchive and note the Discourse team is in 8 different time zones so we obviously use chat too.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles @internetarchive not surprising, IRC is absolute shit on every level

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@steffi3 what was it about? The warm fuzzy feeling of paying more?

Jeff Atwood

@Beschizza pagination has always been horsecrap. Who jumps to page 6?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke CEOs don't have time to read!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TheEvanCarroll I believe the cloud should be punished, this would be just

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke simple, add more naked bodies, traffic will increase. Problem SOLVED!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nicksahler nice! @cottonbureau is the best!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maggiekb1 torrents are your friends!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Supermathie @eviltrout bad news you need 4K per eye at >60fps. Soooo good luck with that over wireless

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose our discourse world meetup in 2016 is in France and @zogstrip is securing our castle!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout wow creed was that good eh?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@yuhong2 @Nick_Craver that is the hope! Then we can upgrayedd our DB servers to 256gb

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@InsideTheBlock average person (well, dude, anyway) way more into sports than tech

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@InsideTheBlock sports is is a million times bigger

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente yeah we've seen that thing around!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek buy another, swap and return. You didn't hear this from me though...

@codinghorror
@mathowie I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ILOVETHEHAWK that is a perfect place for a cat

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gabrielstuff I didn't say hate, I said dislike. Hate is a strong word.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zedshaw apparently (cues up Whitney) I am the grea-a-a-test, hater of all

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley banks are the worst. I wish they could be disrupted as easily as Taxis with Uber.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa only on the inside!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I just apologize to everyone all the time now. Seriously.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Gryzor @BatLabels this is how I have always thought of you

Jeff Atwood

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@counterweight7 less traffic, less expenses

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@damienkatz tell me your password

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jason_koebler but if the info is delivered by third parties, their costs go down. Effectively distributed CDNs

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_sjs and reading the information is not using it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ryanttb traffic is down means it also costs less to run as it is more distributed...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly something is deeply wrong at the heart of Wikipedia if they felt they "had" to build a secret search engine

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly there is something very wrong with this line of reasoning. Is the goal to disseminate info freely or generate "hits"?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly Google won this long ago by de facto choosing search result order. Oneboxing top result is no different.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly I don't see the problem in this case. Oneboxing search results isn't stealing traffic.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly hmm. Content is clearly marked as from Wikipedia, regardless of where that content was served from.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@themikepan I will keep my eye out for this, that would be bad, system can never be fully human idle

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fuzzybinary looks neat let me know how you like it! I think I prefer trackball for in-hand

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@goncalossilva @eviltrout ask on HN, and I can answer there!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@themikepan huh, my HTPC never sleeps since I want it to be the only 24/7 computer in the house. 10w idle https://t.co/3E6WdAHNBA

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fuzzybinary much more compact for in-hand use

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Samsinite @keithjgrant ask on HN topic

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@keithjgrant @Samsinite ask on HN topic

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maggiekb1 I think that's a weak argument, but the "coded eugenics" one is quite strong. The "wrong" people are having lots of kids!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Crazy_MYKL good question for @eviltrout

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@davidcstevens_ htpc doesn't involve a ton of data entry..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maggiekb1 the "hidden eugenics argument" is a much stronger criticism IMO. It's anti-dumb not anti-poor.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maggiekb1 As I said, I think this article reflects the state of the mind of the reviewer. It's not an interpretation I've heard before.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maggiekb1 I've had enough experience with wealthy people to not assume they are smart. And with poor people to not assume they are dumb.
