@deadprogrammer what are those things in the background? Words printed on binded paper of some kind?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@factormystic well, it is a workaround :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver @kevindente not usb C fail

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente iPad high voltage?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ryanwgough I don't prefer it, I feel it doesn't matter

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@vimes1984 @chriscoyier me too but instead of asking I just laugh and laugh

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chriscoyier like my Dad always used to say to me "Take my advice and do as you please"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles in an alternate reality I would be your sidekick and follow you around for.. Adventure!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JakeRYoung I like @gruber just fine for the record!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Jaykul @kevindente if you leave your UX design in charge of randos, You're Gonna Have A Bad Time. See also: PC industry

@codinghorror
@kevindente "UNTIL THESE EDGES ARE BEVELED, I REFUSE TO USE TWITTER!"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente well, I'm just saying, I don't believe your issues with the twitter client are all that serious. Like minor nuance-y stuff

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente ok, then leave.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente the idea that "everyone writes their own zany wacky unique client" turned out to be a shitty, wrong one. See: Usenet.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente nobody, tweetbot is and was awful

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hj_chen make that dream come true! Very easy with today's video cards.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley it doesn't really matter, the iPad Air 2 is like 6mm. This whole clamshell thing, man, it ain't cool any more

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@soviut @mpaluchowski wellll there is a reason I have 3 monitors ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox I'd just do raw stats on everyone. Problem is, nobody will "let" mouse players and gamepad players exist in the same universe ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox I think pro scenes are the least interesting part of gaming; the "one percenters" of the world. Not how the world plays.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox but you are right in the sense that one guy vs a tank, does not matter who has the mouse

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox having played 500+ hrs of Battlefield 4, watching videos of console and PC players the difference is striking. Gut: they'd be dead

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox right but there's no way to know "how much" without a test. I say a lot, you say hardly at all. There are a lot of cross-plat games

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox as I said, nobody is interested because the conclusion is foregone. I would like to see a real test, I'd love to be proven wrong

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox that's why I brought this up. It's so derp-y to watch console players play BF: Hardline. They'd be dead instantly.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox watching youtube videos of console players and pc players on the same game is really illuminating. It's a striking difference

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox obviously, no -- these are controller crutches to compensate for weaknesses of the control mechanism

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox it'd need to be tested. Interesting that nobody seems to want to run this test, though, don't you think?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox yes, but a pro on mouse would dominate a pro on controller. It is rare to see this tested, I think because the conclusion is obvious

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox "The console players got destroyed every time." http://t.co/YQSCwQmcIf

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox this hypothesis has never really been tested, and I think you might know why ;) http://t.co/tdLdeWptQh

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox I think that's debatable. But as long as everyone is on the same footing, it's definitely fair. And good = good, for sure.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox yeah everyone has the same limitations, so it's fair in that sense. But put them against a mouse and.. buh-bye

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Erikmitk I was thinking more like "excruciating"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon I'll slap you until you feel better

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fredsters_s I like your blue steel, it rivals mine

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshmillard green mayo. horrible

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwilso @cyrusradfar mine is called "stupid stuff"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cyrusradfar @cwilso yeah it's such a blatant upsell. I don't mind WEATHER and STOCKS or whatever. but this is an upsell

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fostermatt yeah but this one is such a *blatant* upsell

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@clacke that is directed more at sites you run and control, you do not control twitter

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danielsamuels agree to disagree then. Lots of users confirmed a problem on Chrome 41, so did we. Maybe your test case is different.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danielsamuels not fixed according to the test we just posted -- lots of people confirming the bug in Chrome 41. We do see it fixed in 43

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose @samsaffron for consumer facing web stuff, sometimes. But IOS 8 has been SUPER buggy for Mobile Safari.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aditya_bhatt there is a lot wrong with IRC

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sirw0lfgang kinda both, one comes from the other

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sirw0lfgang IRC is shit, there's no question there.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danielsamuels errr.. no, it is not fixed in Chrome 41. Sorry.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jamessocol oh yes, the IRC protocol is shit. Not talking about carrying that forward except as a crutch for older ones.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@damienguard @kevindente I can do it after Discourse, but I need 5 more years on this project. Sorry, I can't multi-task.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PunKeel that seems very, very unlikely to me. Particularly given heavy VC involvement.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Myotherpants pretty much, problem is, chat produces near zero useful search results. (vs. forums, vs. stack) so hard to get excited about

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@robertmaxrees they are brutal on Chrome right now. It is very, very browser specific. Try it yourself and compare.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers Stack Exchange what is this bullshit rigged game

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@psaffo more prison experiments

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake you should see it. It's good, and because of that movie, like you, I now have an irrational fear of Jazz.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake did you watch the movie Whiplash?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly try the Olive Garden, I know the chef there

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake sounds like someone is kind of bloop

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@patio11 I will not be sad to see a person of your talent leaving bingo cards behind forever ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@uberbrady so the page at http://t.co/sfdZqyJ1qS is a giant iframe pointing to.. are you serious?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Aeyrix we know it is possible with Fastly

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jessiechar maybe you're "close" with the "neighbors" if you "know what I mean" also "quotes"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@petrillic @0xabad1dea @howtogeek the aluminum case can be a fine heat sink. We really need tests to know.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@0xabad1dea @howtogeek you will get 2,4 ghz or 2,9 ghz the question is for how long

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tedder42 .. That can also boot OS X yes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@uberbrady I have that rule but for 32gb and triple monitors ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PolCPP very interested in seeing detailed tests on new MacBooks

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jeffkibuule very interested in surface pro 4. Can it dual boot OS X? ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Jonathan_Blow perhaps but then https://t.co/Q70aKwIze4

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Jonathan_Blow yes, if you have other good examples, definitely share and I plan to update the post with the best ones

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcstober sorry, that was a frankensystem from early 2014. Long story. Now it's re-imaged from backup as standard.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@artursreiljans @riking27 it was quoted from wikipedia (wikiquote) aka pedants central, so this does not surprise ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@yortw @jongalloway just saying, it is more subtle than "you should always.."

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway so it can pop an unwanted keyboard on mobile / tablet? awesome

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@schof I assume they would let you put a note on the account. I will be doing it myself Monday.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@c64_gio you do not change culture overnight. Or even after years. It is a very good step though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jennschiffer @SaraJChipps it is a great commercial, until you watch a SNL cast member dry hump a car you have not truly lived

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jennschiffer @SaraJChipps (cue link to SNL commercial for the car with same)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Navarr everything else was two factor and should have been safe, AT&T made that possible by forwarding number

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AccordionGuy congrats! http://t.co/KEVhmuOcWT

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danbenjamin @petecorey ok now you are just hurting my feelings

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@photomatt isn't this what @wilshipley's delicious monster does?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@adamcaudill yeah it seems like a lot of info is missing. Maybe they prevailed??? It is possible!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jessejiryudavis I was thinking maybe they prevailed against the warrant? It is possible?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dpfrank07 @fmanjoo everything is encrypted in iOS 8, hence crazy gov't "iPhone choice of pedophiles" language http://t.co/AvcIVUtJKZ

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sdarlington basically. It's super lame on Google's part to let this happen on a Nexus device. (Wouldn't say the 4s is "fast" today tho)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timo_quinn well, you can do fingerprint plus long passcode. Which is a very, VERY nice combo.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@leedavis81 @jc4p yeah it's a screwed up problem. The private key should NEVER be in transit. Which makes things realll weird.
