@wongmjane I have a giant 85" OLED in my office as interactive wall art and sometimes I'll have it display 4k trail walks or other interesting 4k experience videos.. or cycle through famous artwork.. It's like a window into a different world.

@xychelsea I just wanted to say I am so, so sorry that you went through that. And I'm very happy you are here, with us, today.

@stimms @migueldeicaza there was a huge naval base in Alameda but it shut down in the 80s from what I understand?

@codinghorror
@frededison awesome! I have the chrome tangle right here.. my RGB space color cube has some damage, I need to get a new one. It is 20+ years old now 😱

@RachelJBury All the usual led stuff! Here is what mine cycles thru https://t.co/tebnnO2yor

@Tetizera this article is incredible

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout That's a joke? I can't tell. Seriously I can't tell!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Don't try to convince or persuade people. It will only get in the way. Just tell your story. That will help people see that it's (far) more complex than they realized.

@stevehansen @migueldeicaza I do plan to drive over at least once a year and get a haircut, with massive tip. I went today and I was like "oh, it says the price is $300, I guess I missed a decimal point my bad!"

@stimms @migueldeicaza Alameda is in Star Trek IV?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza to Alameda so maybe 20 min drive if zero traffic, 45-50 mins with lots of traffic

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@esammer @joffreyjaffeux naw you have legal do that dawg

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@KristyT @wongmjane I have a nuanced position. I like the decentralization and "get creators paid" parts of web3, and those are laudable goals. But I think how you get there matters; the ends do not justify the means.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@castrojo I have no idea why people still play this game. I found it suuuper boring.. but to be fair all the stats-based-RPG-shooters always devolve into "shoot enemies in the head a zillion times with micro-optimized weapon builds" and that just.. isn't fun for me.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke users are *busy* is perhaps a better way to put it, and in most of the UX books I read.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza yeah very stylish and fun. Check out their previous game "Dishonored" which is excellent as well.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nicklockwood yep; see https://t.co/zjgVtZxGav

@codinghorror
@ProgrammingJoe @Ecologi_hq excellent I will check that out!

I actually bought 5 trees for the whole family at Xmas but forgot to put the certificates in their stockings! I did set the tree names for each person tho https://t.co/8Gmpdx2ewP

@codinghorror
@chx @elmuertecom It's fair to note that the 888 is finally fast "enough" that it may not matter. But it's not fair that Qualcomm set a huge swath of the mobile computing world back a *decade* in performance. They get no points, and may they rot in hell forevermore.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx @elmuertecom Android the OS is perfectly fine. Good even. It's the hammerlock that Qualcomm has on the industry that's profoundly bad for everyone. They've single handedly set mobile phones back a DECADE. I take that shit very, very personally. Fuck Qualcomm.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx @elmuertecom So if that's what you believe in, put your money where your mouth is. Invest in alternative SoCs. I'm glad Google is building their own SoCs, fucking FINALLY. 4 years too late, but hey, better late than never.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx @elmuertecom yeah, but Qualcomm hardware is incredibly fucking bad. Just pitifully bad. If we had rough parity on hardware (or, imagine a world where you could buy an Android phone with 3 or 4 different, excellent performing SoCs) then I'd be happy. But i'm not, because Qualcomm FUCKING SUCKS

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx well, with all due respect, I don't think you know what you're talking about. We build a JavaScript app for the last 10 years so I'm intimately familiar with the level of perf needed to load, parse, and display a JS app. And a speedometer score of 50 ain't really cuttin' it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RageousX Qualcomm is a war crime against humanity

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I had a problem like this with warzone as well when I tried it. Just .. install, but no launch.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx not quite; the real fly in the ointment is Qualcomm just suuuucking so badly. If they could just get the perf anywhere near Apple did.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I got the latest Android updates and things are improving at least 🤷♂️ .. you want to see over 100 here for decent browser perf, tbh https://t.co/3Gct9pDPmh

@amandafrench For what it’s worth we added bookmark reminders to @discourse

@codinghorror
@ironicsans Another good example: The Arrival vs. Story of Your Life. Both excellent in their own slightly different ways.

@siracusa thanks to both you and @cgbarrett .. Wow! This is a piece of computing history I was not aware of! Now Novation AppleCat.. https://t.co/F10lWPVpFP

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cgbarrett @kapowaz what is "Hotline"? Sorry, I left Apple world around 1985 and didn't come back until iPhone 3gs.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OmarKnowsStuff @OmarShahine neat to have it directly in the cable!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dubilla @Carnage4Life @brainboyuwmc yes; so was a *lot* of other consumer stuff; arguably the majority of consumer stuff.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life @brainboyuwmc I have a different theory: after 1984, people got to actually see real computers in their homes, and decide accordingly whether they liked it or not.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mmustapic link died! Any others?

@Hanzo55 old person complaint: I dislike this "slaps" slang term and refuse to adopt it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life yeah it has a lot of giant red flags in it 🚩

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Hanzo55 "Love Story", but I think you've tweeted this kind of thing before because I remember looking up the movie Love Story before and there's no way in hell I would normally do that

@codinghorror
@Charles_W_Morin @rory_blyth @Carnage4Life @discourse well, it's 100% free open source software -- but we aren't handing out free server hardware to run the software, you'll need to provide that. A $5/month Digital Ocean instance is sufficient to run Discourse.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@damienkatz I would retweet this but I don’t want you to get brigaded lol

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi Ditto. I have the poster for this movie in my office. That and Death Race 2000. You should come over, we can watch a few movies together :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Quemandoacromo Oh awesome haptics I was just mentioning this to @ID_AA_Carmack

@p3nf0ld I advise against the gamer style chairs, in favor of the traditional office style .. they tend to be better made

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi Yeah the use of ((( in there is an ENORMOUS RED FLAG though 🚩

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life heh. I described it in our internal @discourse as "we're selling blue jeans in a gold rush", which I think is fairly accurate for what we do 👖

Jeff Atwood

@susanthesquark @Anthony @evavictor that is soooo amazing. What a life bucket goal to achieve .. "have an actor portray you in a major motion picture" (or equivalent)

Jeff Atwood
