@davidlee I suggest yelling "free kittens in the parking lot!"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza ME WRITE GOOD

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fmanjoo I started reading that but had to stop due to an uncontrollable urge to stab myself in the eyes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wax_eagle @jzy we should bring that up on their meta. I will do that later unless someone beats me to it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy that is a LOT of text copied from another place.. a LOOTTT

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy accurate and stolen 100% from another site. Not cool.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kwiens it's a human being teardown, isn't it. ISN'T IT

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose yeah but I wasn't the one asking!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Steve_Yegge no, the MOST ironic hipster would request a Chromebook Pixel.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tinkertim get on this @jzy !

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AaronTraas oh my god that'd be awesome

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@StartupLJackson yeah I had that same thought. Worry about printing durability on rough landings though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@garethbudden lol 2 stage. I found another page that claims a height record of nearly 1000 feet with an optimized 2l.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@damienkatz Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you *shouldn't* understand.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AarthiD surely we would notice!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@evil_trout we went to see About Schmidt at a weekend matinee once. Same experience. GREAT movie though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@errthling @betsyphd it is a full on metal medallion.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@icelava what exactly do you mean by that? Why would you even say something like that to me? JERK

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codingsanity I'm still holding out for 7.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timbray TIM BRAY SEEEECRETS.. http://t.co/uTCAchc6id

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codingsanity fascinating, but 3 blades was still good vs. one or two?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mgargano @wilshipley it is truly one of the all time greats even in the embarrassment of riches that is the Onion back catalog

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers yeah its just RT which may not last. Pro is here to stay. I want to see 1 more gen of RT before concluding x86 is only way.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy its kind of a great song isn't it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard @deadprogrammer bullshit, pivot into being a jet powered car. BOOYAH! p.s. I'm CEO bitch.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley thought crime. future crime. pre-crime.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OldManKris YOU ARE DEAD TO ME

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@LaconicDroid I dunno, I am very pro thunderbolt given the # of times daily I insert USB-anything in the wrong direction

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet I am a Pointy Haired Manager now, I do not concern myself with these implementation details

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet no fizzbuzz? DISAPPOINT

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshmillard pics or it didn't happen

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jpaulellis I updated the post, I should have mentioned Firefox for Android had *exactly* the same perf

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fmanjoo @sciwizam @gruber no idea, LCDs ship with retina-scorching default brightness levels: http://t.co/3HeisIYP2V

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fmanjoo screen brightness is a big battery issue. Old N7 had some crazy Tegra 3 "auto" brightness and was pretty dim all the time.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fmanjoo we already have it in the 2013 Nexus 7. (gotta watch screen brightness though, it gets CRAZY bright at even 50%)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PartiallyFinite it didn't work, you're still alive. GOD DAMN IT

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers ask @superdalgas @jarrod_dixon -- in April 2010 my reaction to the unboxed iPad 1 was "pixels as big as goddamn grapefruits"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rounded_wreck how can you find it when you're verifiably blind? :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley so are people, but everyone seems to keep on truckin' regardless.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley that'd be fine if a tablet wasn't pretty much by definition all screen. And the only app I need is the web.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jhollida24 the only ui on a tablet is the screen. A tablet *is* the screen.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fire_wally it's also terrible compared to the 2012 nexus. It's just terrible.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers because screens aren't the ONLY form of interaction with a tablet, or anything. No big, right?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bxlewi1 the issue is that the original N7 screen is really dim.. so 50% brightness on the 2012 is nowhere near 50% on the 2013.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wingedpig I have had nothing but Oreos today so far #winning

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BurritoAlPastor the screen is hiiiddeeeooouussss in a world of Retina (and near retina, ala Surface Pro) devices.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@evil_trout the real long term game is forum multiplayer

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ShittingtonUK I found it posted on http://t.co/iezygCFH9c I never saw it on twitter!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@adnanced yeah because Apple and Google didn't just double real world perf with iPad 3->4 and Nexus 2012->2013. UNPOSSIBLE!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss No, I don't think that's true at all. We don't become inured to joy, we piss all over it instead.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy just $10? Damn you got off easy. I spent at least $20 per booth. But they were really genuinely nice to Henry.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose happens alllll the time... Even worse, when they choose to love the awful and/or annoying toys.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly looks interesting! Btw the Google for quip is really bad. I don't think it even produced that domain?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly no URL? Are we supposed to Google it manually, like an animal?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesalkin does not work when entering text, however

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulmrozowski (except as a forum-level plugin)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulmrozowski supporting them is tacit approval. Fuck that.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers even I think they went a little too far on their anti-button jihad. And I love flat. (we've been more-flattening Discourse)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers it's really not bad. The hardware is *awesome* now too, it is about as snappy as the iPad4, just a smidge under that.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers look where the autocomplete is. A whole row for that? Also the address bar comes back on text entry, even if scrolled off

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@antonillos not when you enter text it ain't

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@brentley_11 exactly my point

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fortescue slow original flash RAM used plus lack of TRIM in OS. Definitely a flaw with the original N7, worst on the original 8GB/16GB.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iaoth if you look at Fish's behavior, he's flinging poo back at the monkeys a lot of the time. Part of problem, not solution.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gburnham well, to be fair, I did call the iPad mini stupid and crappy. Which it is.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JamesGecko @donw depends when you last updated, but yeah.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@krenaud true, but massively trumped by horrible display resolution in my book!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donw 2x faster, much higher resolution display, 2x memory. Core apps a lot more mature too (email, web, etc).

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hat_matter yeah for kids and games it's not even close. But for everything else..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@infogulch see the directory at http://t.co/XbgBKlZoIr look for the word "twitter" on each row.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iaoth clearly the solution to this conundrum is to stop being creative.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nelsonbostrom sure email us at team@discourse.org with info

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iaoth Plenty of fans and positivity out there for Fez and Fish. Glass half empty, therefore must ragequit? All righty then.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iaoth yeah nothing but poo flinged at this guy.. http://t.co/ZnMhBixwWr

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iaoth he didn't leave the Internet. He cancelled his project. He quit his *career* over monkeys flinging poo. That is not smart.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iaoth Being on the Internet with people is the same as "being locked in a cage" with them? That's a .. generous .. interpretation.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iaoth these people are not credible; do you feel bad when a monkey flings poo at you? It's a damn monkey!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iaoth if you take any of that crazy nutbag stuff seriously, the only person you're hurting is yourself.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bradlarson he is a public figure, comes with territory

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_Nevermind my experience playing online multiplayer games over the last 15 years disagrees

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles if it is all the time, there are much deeper problems, maybe you are in the wrong place or the game is rigged.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kaihendry @samsaffron displacing mailing lists is one of three primary goals of the project

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DuncanLock @discourse makes everything simpler, which in the long run is the same thing. Some hybridization is possible, and we do.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DuncanLock even if it was, now I get the busywork of clicking on tiny click targets to hide things constantly? How is this desirable?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DuncanLock not even possible to collapse on site shown in screenshot. And you were saying?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AmbientLion that is what we do at http://t.co/6bmZ2QnLWw

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonnale how did you get it so fast?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gaberivera lets be honest: mostly it is the twerking

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Greenspeak so your pernicious anal fissures have not presented any difficulties? You are an inspiration to all of us.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mahmoudhossam something this terrible could only have been invented by a man
