@migueldeicaza makes for awful storytelling.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I am going out with a mouth full of Ding Dongs baby

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@reggieburnett are they also odious racists? https://t.co/gUoWT5xz5M

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codinghorror ... and mine too!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OmarShahine oh thanks been meaning to order that

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@coreyburnett the older I get, the more I bar progress for others. Part of the normal cycle of life. I say embrace it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@coreyburnett fortunately, death comes for all of us. Looking forward to mine.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I want that animated on your tombstone

@steveklabnik @samsaffron this discussion should not have happened in software that offers zero moderator / editorial control

@PatrickDerosier uhhh one small problem there BFF https://t.co/xihIuU1cuI

@shanselman I learned playing Viper Racing on PC, crazily powerful car physics are risky when you floor it.

@cwodtke I guess you are right it is more common than I thought - https://t.co/8N4dzKQe6N

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@samolang also being born in the current timeline vs say, 1850 or 1750

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@roalt yeah probably, still, strategically I need Apple to be reaching down to lower price points better.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke well, missing from the "upcharges for baggage are bad, m'kay!" discussion was the fact that 1 checked bag is always free..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@moxon yes, if they fail to make it a lower price point that is a huge missed opportunity

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke it also called out the Netflix "disaster", which in 2012.. dunno, not a fan of that article.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@antonioetayo it's a fair point, but the narrative is not there. Like harry potter fan fiction vs. "you must invent harry potter" WAY hard

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@balpha I was waiting on you to say that.

Jeff Atwood

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke jcpenney turned into a disaster based on the strategy there. It sunk that ex-Apple exec's career...

@codinghorror
@Beschizza I didn't think his acting was too bad. The character is just kind of lame overall.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza on top of that the actor is kinda ugly, too. We never saw Darth's face!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza plus Darth Vader was super powerful, clearly in total control, and kicking much ass. Compare with Mr. Emo teenager

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza this seems so obvious after actually viewing the movie. Plus the (redacted) he does..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@xor it's from our kids. Great song. You should have kids, they are fucking insane all the time

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@damienkatz chello? Is it me you're looking for?

@textfiles I just use the Sparks Keep Left / Keep Right Rhino collection which is awesome. Rhino is the FOOKIN BEST https://t.co/LDgl02ZOgQ

@codinghorror
@jorm I like it with extra e. Coli

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@m__s_s right, age = wealth too. Huge problem now, imagine how concentrated wealth would be for a 150 or 300 year old..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DistractedThink over the broad expanse of history this is *clearly* true, younger gens more progressive, with rare exceptions.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ILOVETHEHAWK that 12th time is gonna be the charm, I can just feel it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ILOVETHEHAWK that's the best thing ever. I have a doppleganger Jeff Atwood but I haven't heard much recently https://t.co/ji3QYos1bq

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose get outside the box -- manipulate the system clock.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eggsyntax different issues; that's just extending to die from natural causes vs. malaria/typhus/cholera

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Mollrow @waxpancake also the "no consequences" outcome is *hugely* corrosive to society, undermines government, police, everything

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake right totally agree, but I'm thinking that will go on forever until the root causes are addressed

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake this is what needs to be fixed

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake I guess it cuts into the weird relationship between judges/prosecutors and the police, and how they rely on each other

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@boxofrad did they have the metal ones then?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer not... YET

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer unlikely to be simple, IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer I think millions of years of evolution will not go into that good night so quietly

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@travis_troyer old bay trail atom based though. https://t.co/rXY8MUHXoT

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon phablets, on the other hand, are CRUSHING IT

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon even tablets (the Netbook of Today™) aren't winning as decisively as I thought they would.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer naming is super super hard

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@housecor wow! that's great! Glad it worked out for you!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dinapomeranz what will they say about you when you die?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@voretaq7 hmm yeah lots of ports for sure would be an issue.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@voretaq7 how would you outgrow it? Current x86 15w tdp is crazy fast hardware

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout why you gotta hate on abused Robin

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rfistman the physics are, to put it mildly, unforgiving.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pmg interesting, I always felt shoehorning full mouse into a controller was a doomed affair

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RichFelker also we pay a fixed amount for 15 amps x 2 colocated, so while lower power use is clearly better, incremental cost is $0 to us.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RichFelker 15w would be very extreme. 10w, perhaps. But even 15w is under $20 per year.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RichFelker I reiterate that 5w for an active drive is about right.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RichFelker depends on the use, though! Could be a lot of reads, could be a lot of writes, could be idle most of the time.. 2.5" vs 3.5"..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@balajis "the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled.."

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RichFelker not really, varies from 2w - 5w while writing on SSDs https://t.co/0XVhzrxkA6

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lloeki hell no, it's Ghost Pro https://t.co/sWZiaaUVge

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OmgImAlexis I expect places with very high power costs and reasonable sun will see massive solar panel adoption. Like in Hawaii...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp climate change maybe?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RichFelker based on https://t.co/b0ZjF19p2e .. (5w * 8,760) / 1000 = 43.8 .. (43.8 * 14.28) / 100 = $6.25 per drive, per year..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@komocode I know @eviltrout is a fan

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RichFelker questionable, I would need to see actual numbers there. 5w-7w versus 2w times say 7 years?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RichFelker @ but not at 4tb per drive levels, unless you are a trillionaire

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@caspencer also, cancer everywhere!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ZachWeiner always praise effort and work not "magical innate ability". Also covered in this book https://t.co/CeJkXSRArB

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baconmeteor @deadprogrammer now apply that same self preservation logic to ESR blog and you are golden!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@glyph @ID_AA_Carmack obsession is powerful, and letting the demons drive for a while can take you fascinating places. But not all the time.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer @baconmeteor not one of the better paintings

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@glindahl I believe there is a meta.stackexchange or meta.stackoverflow topic about this already, it is a good idea

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx @cbuechler @Baffo_il yeah cherry trail was kind of a disappointment on the CPU perf front, but big GPU improvements as I recall

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cbuechler @chx @Baffo_il Rangely is 100% Bay Trail just the "communications proc" segment https://t.co/HUNXmiXxSl

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx @Baffo_il if it makes you feel any better all the pfSense "recommended" appliances are all Bay Trail Atoms.. https://t.co/g4jscymgRi
