@ghaz debian is YEARS behind, which is a huge pain in the ass.

@codinghorror
@johnolilly meanwhile I just installed a Java SE app on my Surface 2 Pro. It was kinda awesome.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @HUVrTech worst viral video ever. I was literally bored while watching it.

@deadprogrammer 100 views of the Empire State Building

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@apere006 I think bad was the intent there, though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ServeTheHome we can help you host Discourse, just let me know how you want to do it! See EZ install doc at https://t.co/pb5yT9upmN

@codinghorror
@wingedpig eh, depends on the budget and staffing level. I give slack to smaller companies. Bigger ones.. they should have shit together.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@henrik @samsaffron a bit of a programmery mindset

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@samsaffron @henrik in other words, when you pause and I speak directly after you, who am I speaking to? At a dinner table? In life?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@samsaffron @henrik super noisy. Locality matters.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snipeyhead @MikeTalonNYC look, this isn't helping me finish this game of beer pong any faster

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MikeTalonNYC @snipeyhead I will accept your pledges.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jbferland have you considered asking your own community, particularly the developer community, this question? And following through?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jbferland @jezell it's a good conversation to have, and kudos for that, but I am a pessimist on this particular topic. Change at the top.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jbferland @jezell culture comes from the top. The very top. And it's not fixable after a certain point, except by displacement.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jezell in Facebook terms, the "hacker way" is selling your grandmother for a pack of cigarettes if it's convenient.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jezell no, it's BS because http://t.co/bVkL2uaP7q and I can confirm that experience. I've been to Facebook HQ: they lie right to your face.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jalefkowit iOS seems to be doing a better job of this.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jamespearce you might like to take a look at http://t.co/bVkL2uaP7q

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jezell so committing to do something, then not doing *any* of it, that's cool with you? Good to know.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevemanuel I don't see any alternative in that specific case.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevemanuel well, in that case the bad guys were giving people advanced steps to follow, and they followed them. Not really a flaw.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ableeda they aren't willing to pitch in to help developers, period, outside their company. That's not "hacker culture".

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BillB that was a big deal in April 2012. We've moved on.

@codinghorror
@photomatt big Android fans I hear

@monkbent @cdixon it is a bit better on iOS but then you have other problems: http://t.co/8bdfnhJBw7

@codinghorror
@dethornSTEM I like Amazon MP3!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lessapathetic so inflation didn't exist in the world, at all, in any form, until 1970?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie Share already behaves this way on YouTube web, at least for me. Are you using an app or something? Fuckin' apps.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@samsaffron @marcgravell I blame you guys for the aussie and brit childrens now learning VB 6 from the library. Recycle those!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jcap49 where do you see that link form? The trailing slash is wrong

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_allo which links are broken? Examples?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@secretGeek desperate need of redesign :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@FPresencia I have never used that link form!

@Kwpolska we did one switchover with Feedburner on tues at 11am pacific, but nothing other than that!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I need to see you in those yellow chino pants ASAP

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@analytalica hmm yeah. Will need to work that out. Apologies.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@garychou you deserve the best Chou. Bad news is, it's me.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@KrizzzyS oh god Hipchat is hideous, it's no contest

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@peterbowyer not really, no. We get fucked by bad ORM stuff on a daily basis in Discourse.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@robconery we are still working on it, waiting on images atm

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash how will the world know who you are and that you matter if you don't have an opinion to share?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash done! /latest has been the default Discourse homepage since the start! <high five>

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fmanjoo not exactly, but I will write a followup post soon

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles if it sucks, blame Wirecutter, not me! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RiotSamizul because you could steal everything on it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TheTrueAPlus @Gizmodo yep, should be attributed all properly

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@escoz @chadzeluff as I was saying, they are reinventing the web -- with all the same problems. Better to fix the web.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SQLife I am still watching it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JeffChausse I love that video so much

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RaphaelSaunier that may change on Wednesday.. stay tuned

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MRSallee there are so many dumb differences. Twitter ipad doesn't show inline images like every other client and the web, for example.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly I miss fart apps.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jeffsand @rahulsood you are too kind. I prefer "pretty good at not sucking"

@NathanBowers ohhh you're gonna love this blog post I am working on.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shog9 @inscitekjeff "some product discussion forum somewhere", eh? We should look into that..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@evil_trout @Supermathie you're only bringing a *bazooka*? <snorts derisively>

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash see also http://t.co/FXEwS2tYzL

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly on top of that how many "jobs" are created by the obscenely profitable predatory pricing SMS carrier networks? All relative.

@codinghorror
@doubleyewdee I'm not actually anti-ads, I am anti insane endless repetition of things I won't ever click on.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@doubleyewdee there were certain ads I was getting over and over and over. Retargeting type stuff. I was sick of it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@doubleyewdee mostly I removed everything

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nicksahler Bootie all the way back to 2005 is good. In fact 2005 was a great year. 2012 was pretty good as well.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@henryoswald @sharelatex excellent we are continually improving email support to help mailing list diehards transition

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@henryoswald @sharelatex hopefully technical folks can follow https://t.co/R91IbR8yQ2 that will be our new standard by next week

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_davidbaldwin 1gb mem is show stopper

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NeweggService thanks, I just ordered everything from Amazon instead. Second time this has happened to me.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@md__5 @discourse not exactly, we also configure it, set up email, and provide one free update at a later date.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gruber @edbott @mlmcmillion actually, traditional desktop GUI paradigms are quite stagnant and boring -- on all platforms.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gruber @edbott @mlmcmillion interesting, I have never once looked at the web, ever, and thought "this is all so stagnant and boring"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bratschecody @paulcbetts agree, I got that wrong too. It was tablets! Close, but touch wins no question, simpler.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulcbetts I think the whole menu paradigm is broken anyways, so one place or the other, wrong design.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulcbetts ah the old sweep it under the rug design drawer

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulcbetts larger the monitor, more insane the design choice becomes. Fine with 15 inchers. Disaster with multiple or even one large.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway Peers should be helping peers. Only thing that scales. Somebody always knows more kung-fu than you.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway best is always a valueless opinion. What are you trying to do? Explain it in detail. Walk us through it. That has value.
