@gdinwiddie @seriouspony it is a sandbox (in good games) so you are the movie. Blow up the bank or dig a tunnel or disguise yourself.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles Not me. No opinion on Amazon drones. However your beard is sooooo gayyyy.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mjsalinger not faster, battery life not better (arguably worse), app support, etc. It's a sidegrade IMO from an iPhone 5.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dweinberger I quit after binge watching season 1, it had its high points but I could see this was going nowhere fast.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@antirez true that is why I fully switch, to live with the other half. Otherwise you are at best a tourist

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@antirez I use maybe 5 apps ever on any platform

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza THE FRONT PAGE OF THE INTERNETS

@codinghorror
@autiomaa @helsinkijs old Android is more the problem now

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Jonmchan the two 2TB media drives spin down, though the primary SSD doesn't draw that much power anyways

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TheKanter no, only on demand expansions. That is the one area we are opinionated about.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fmanjoo that's weird, I've never had to do anything other than plug in the 2nd monitor to get it to work in anything remotely recent

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ThatGraemeGuy mind = blown

@codinghorror
@garywhitta @Greenspeak the future.. of boredom

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@railsonmaui not yet, hardly any kinect games

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nickoutprintln yeah for "hardcore" gaming it is shit (think Super Meat Boy), but for casual stuff it is amazing.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose NOO YAWK CITAH!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @kevindente well, in their defense, modern games are 25gb or more. Consoles don't have SSDs..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ftrain I see what you did there and it was noted

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@creationnation hey, I saw your reference to http://t.co/psebHPuVKQ here https://t.co/cZ4c6PpOBg and I thought @discourse might work!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Donny_V well, you're slower than most and we still like you :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baconmeteor your crazy moon languages will never win

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drylight yeah talk to @samsaffron about that. p.s. Thanks!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Greenspeak have some more kids! Never too late to start again!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@amuletofyendor @dudurocha @anildash WHOA WHOA WHOA that innovation is too disruptive. TOO DISRUPTIVE

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash exactly, like getting a second opinion from doctors!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fredwilson that looks really good. I have a thing for paprika. I CAN STOP EATING IT ANY TIME I WANT I JUST DONT WANT TO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBand six years of no Muse. Good times!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I thought about that, and then I started crying uncontrollably

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcprecipice use the nest remote app on your phone to fight it!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@b33f holy crap Twitter has oauth2 now? As of when?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lauradobrzynski @kevinmontrose @Nick_Craver @jarrod_dixon we always knew programming was how to impress the ladies

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SuperDalgas @Nick_Craver those cpus are LAZY, put them to work!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway @daveloukola I noticed that per Steam stats, Jon played this "game" for NINETEEN HOURS. That's a long Monty Python skit

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zippy1981 @bobbeauch good question, I would measure mine but it is a real pain to move it out

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mellowfish I will happily bet everything against you and on Moore's Law. Particularly on mobile and tablet, where we still get 2x perf/year

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mellowfish discourse is indistinguishable from desktop perf on iPad Air, and iPhone 5s. Quite fast. Only games need native.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mellowfish it is why I shy away from using Android, personally

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@devinfoley link to adapter please?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshmillard let me mansplain somethin to you

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente @Carnage4Life so does Yahoo Answers, if you dig enough. Are you willing to walk through a sewer to get there?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente @Carnage4Life that is like saying we "need" the Weekly World News

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@StyleRepublic that *is* how programmers get out on Saturday nights

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bitcrazed yep! Hope the project can get solid, high level sponsorship!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NotZombies @BoingBoing the bathroom doesn't have enough graffiti for your tastes, eh? :)

Jeff Atwood

@radeonpro see http://t.co/VfFhItPbUs scroll down

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deanputney that's funny, I just taught your mom about 'regular expressions'

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@victorcampeanu @reneritchie no, ipad3 was a tiny bit faster than ipad2. Retina was the main addition.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer sort of, longtime SO user Mark Harrison wrote this http://t.co/fc4DP1LCCm

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jamesholden depends how many wheels are squeaking and for how long

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@scottwasson it can't be easy to dissipate 250w on the size of a PCI slot. Still, loving my exhaust mod, it is IMNSHO essential

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@topdownjimmy @wasdkeyboards no worries there is an excellent return policy, I believe.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@scottwasson @DoktorFunken don't raise fan speed, improve the exhaust airflow to reduce temps: http://t.co/VfFhItPbUs

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcprecipice and the androids! or you could just build a web site that works fabulously on every device in the world. Crazy talk!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcprecipice even worse, it implies they have not started work on the Blackberry and Windows 8 apps.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joelmdev dunno but let me know what you find. Touch Windows Explorer seems like a logical idea

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp faster to do an upgrade to win 8.1

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@samkimmel it is noticeably better. 25% improvement sounds about right, puts it in the 8 hour range for basic wifi web browsing

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Hanzo55 they have done 4 server patches so far, but client patches clearly needed too..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mindbrix @NathanBowers @tweetbot that's how it is at all big companies. 30 people doing the work of 3.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jmanici @onedigeratti I will only believe those results after a clean install of Windows 8.1, suspect sony turned "battery saver" mode on

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@knweiss @anandshimpi where is the benchmark data on this RST driver? URL?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anandshimpi what I mean was, did Sony override default out of box Windows power management settings? e.g clean install works too?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anandshimpi hmm, on the Sony VAIO Pro 13 battery life, does this persist with a clean Win 8.1 install?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Supermathie sinus victory?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@scottwasson @DrPizza or you could just zip the directories with no/little compression first, then unzip on the receiving side

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@scottwasson I dunno, robocopy?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@scottwasson win8 file copy is quite good IMO, are you still on 7?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@magnayn @jasonpbecker yet again, the future belongs to tablets; laptops are the new desktops.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jasonpbecker regardless, tablets are the future. Laptops, not so much. Grandmas can use tablets.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jasonpbecker I use a laptop on my lap about .01% of the time I own it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@redh4re @halflings any battlefield moment from the series, which dates to around 2001 as I recall

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@WarrenSeine "I think JavaScript is about as fast as it can get now without some kind of really advanced dynamic compilation scheme" we have

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa you see what twins are like, imagine triplets

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Jasconius I don't know how @DrPizza measures battery life.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp real programmers are not up at this hour!

@mattcutts ooo looks like they deliver to east bay now!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JeefBerkey you have a PM :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@craigvn @Carnage4Life 6x perf, 40% weight reduction, massively improved screen.. shit dog, if you're still on iPad 2, stay there forever

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MortenLinderud I'm sorry :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life I think the iPad Air / retina mini is going to sell a LOT. We'll see though, not sure if it's saturated.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cmaxw @discourse ok you have a PM :)
