@johnolilly +1 totally on target. Minecraft is a *programming* tool, as true to their roots as anything they've ever done.

@codinghorror
@cdixon @kevinroose unlikely, watch seems super situational, but I guess we'll see.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_jwrb obviously it is http://t.co/6bmZ2QnLWw

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@secretGeek I approve of these activities

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@CowboyOtis @joshmillard still your best creation! Your "my ding-a-ling!"

@Supermathie lego is great but they are crap at software

@wooger @darkuncle @loydcase g'wan, load two tabs from http://t.co/bpgDzFgwhW and http://t.co/iezygCFH9c at the same time. I dare you!

@eviltrout that is SQL Server. Still even with Ruby we see clock speed matter intensely for response times.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jeffkibuule That would be acceptable, I hope you are right!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox we had that initially and resolving all the states is complicated, server is simpler and works across browsers

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baddox it is suuuper bad for @discourse as well. We do save server side drafts automatically but only every 40 seconds

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ironicsans they still make TiVo?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kesterallen sure email me, we have 3, you can borrow two!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@betsyphd @kesterallen would you like to borrow a bouncy house

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JohnnySoftware @prescottnasser hey hey heyyy now. Those chemicals might hurt someone.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ssxz_ yeah, that's the hardest bit to change. Still working on it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pamelafox yeah, I guess there's no substitute for scheduling a lot of activities (that you enjoy!) in larger groups to get out there.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pamelafox for women: wear red. For men: bring a dog. Science!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ftrain don't ever stop crushing it, you magnificent bastard

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wuerl TL;DR gruber really honestly believes building on sand (ambiguity built in) is a feature. Earthquakes disagree!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wuerl per http://t.co/ENsjptTIxS see "free license .. including subsequent improvements to [the design or blueprint] by anyone"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wuerl is the house open source? It's also 100% compatible.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hbeschizza is... is it... contagious?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza early Facebook employee syndrome (He's from 2005) is the best way to describe it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza Yishan Wong is a piece of work, even way before this

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@xrobau There's a $99 plan here: https://t.co/yhOcmF4VzL

@codinghorror
@commadelimited That's the thing! It was a really good article.

@macrael it's not *about* me. It's about all the users.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I dunno, I see it as Death Proof (the movie), intentionally over the top. Can't there be other sorts of movies?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley the whole "sexy killer nun" thing was so dumb it turned me off Hitman: Absolution but it turns out to be a GREAT game

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I shoot humans in the face all day long in Battlefield 4 (well not literally all day long) and I love it!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I guess. I view games as harlequin romance novels more than high literature. What is WITH all this BODICE RIPPING? LAZY!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley you could maybe view sexism concerns as concern trolling, e.g. if it's off-topic for the game

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley Concern Trolls could be more accurate term, though it has a specified meaning, e.g. off *topic* concerns: http://t.co/hQxsRVygOw

@viticci some do think the Yankees are a joke

Jeff Atwood

@macdrifter @BenjaminBrooks take a man's humor away from him, well, that's pretty cruel

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@scottgranneman extended disagreement benefits nobody..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@macrael every week some user complains to me that they started a list with 3. and it did not work.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver nah extended fighting doesn't help.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ircri it only happens on iPad, CSS suggestions welcome!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza I am a regex ninja and I know PHP so I will be applying. Hire me fast because I have like 5 other offers, kthxbye

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sjh_canada yeah it will take a bit longer to fix some of the other links, but we will do it over the weekend

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@knardi yeah, there's no other projects using it or anything

@codinghorror
@gregorysean we want Gruber on board. He views ambiguity and building on sand as a feature. Irreconcilable, unfortunately.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gregorysean barely a superset. Read the spec.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gregorysean Not different. We replied to Gruber that every piece of Markdown he has written, will render as expected in Common Markdown

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gregorysean that's a fine outcome to me! I want forward progress. Shall we schedule Markdown 2.0 for 2050?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gregorysean what's it going to take to convince Gruber to do the work? Exactly what's happening now. Sad, but true.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bleroy @ludovicchabant response? after initial email, silence.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bleroy @ludovicchabant he was in the loop from the start, from over 2 years ago. Was invited into the group even!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ironicsans these things were EVERYWHERE

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MichaelTheDevel @shanselman READ MAH BLAWG MAN

@StackExchange @JasonPunyon Let It Go Punyon! ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bcharder I saw that but "makeup" is going to be nearly impossible to search for.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@beporter sure, if you force everyone else to live there too!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gruber it was a great reply. Thank you.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tjcavanaugh I am literally LOLing over my mental imagery of how that would go

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I don't hate Gruber. I wish he wasn't so happy building on sand because the touch, the feel of sand through your fingers..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles thanks man. naming is very hard. would love all the help I can get.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles @waxpancake for serious? go for it. You have my fax number.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kapowaz @waxpancake thank you! I think it is a very apt analogy. And I truly do have a *deep* respect for the historic value of the house!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake it's just irrational to me at some level. But I agree, he's the founder. I want to respect his wishes.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake "this house, although it is on the national register of places, must be built on sand, because I love the feel of sand!"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake cool URLs don't change. That's why.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake and Markdown suffers. It could be 3x adoption with a sane parseable version of virtually the exact same syntax.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake there is a lot of support angst over these "useful ambiguities". Users suffer, websites suffer, implementers suffer.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @danielwithmusic but the house is in a visible state of disrepair, and is on the national register of places..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake not at all. house remains as untouched as possible as historical (compatible) preservation -- that was an explicit goal.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@harrierj think IETF standard, ECMA standard. Word has much compsci heft, was not intended.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pamelafox omg this is soooo true

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @punyweakling I want to work with the standard, not against it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @punyweakling so.... Reddit-GitHub-StackOverflow-Pandoc-Discourse Markdown, then?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JamesDeacon so Reddit-GitHub-StackOverflow-Discourse-Pandoc Markdown, then? :p

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @punyweakling I guess we'll see. Sometimes progress requires resolution. The name was changed, as requested.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pamelafox wake me up when you drop IE9 support ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @punyweakling I'd argue that IETF Standard and ECMA Standard is very different than "Common". Special compsci meaning.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sh4na I would respond with "You seem very upset, I'm sorry. Is everything OK?" ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @punyweakling the word Standard seemed to be a very big problem from all the feedback I saw. I can agree with that.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sh4na wow someone has anger issues. Sorry about that :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@michaelpryor they do have the right to type. Displaying what they type on the screen is another matter...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@scfrench yeah I went back and forth on that one. But it is even called Babelmark!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente so.. select is broken? http://t.co/wrj3L8T5Mw

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maradydd please discuss on http://t.co/28pczK3TdL (I believe a topic is already there)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Navarr you could help us create that at http://t.co/HXGfj7NNOL !

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kellan @rands we should be a little afraid of commandos, and they should know their role in context of infantry too http://t.co/ZAe7t2fRiu

@migueldeicaza I had some sushi with jalapeno the other day, and it was amazing. (Can't remember the roll "name", but a first for me!)
