@fromedome sure email us team@discourse.org

@ernmando maybe I was busy having 35 children and leaving one company and starting another one. :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash we've already forgiven the "Video Games can't be art" thing?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake 50 minutes is 3,000 seconds. It's possible to shout one name every 1.18 seconds?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles look, your cheese wasn't exactly dressed for church. that's all I'm saying!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I dunno, I've been on the other design side of that with Stack Overflow and Discourse. Cheese gets moved, man.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles shrug. stability is overrated. People change. The world changes. (insert deal-with-it gif here)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles yeah, but there is an aspect of incoherent cheese-moving rage as well. Or the "product" with 300 checkboxes to "configure"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles THIS AGGRESSION WILL NOT STAND, MAN

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie oh that. well, I tend to look up related info, so it works OK for me as a sub-window. The formatting thing is a pain though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie I like it personally, but formatting becomes multiple clicks. Presumably data shows 99.9% of users don't format at all.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne it was either that or link to the Huffington Post Content Turbines

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss it's ok, little buddy. It'll all be over soon.. ish.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jasonfitzpatric well that's quite the compliment, thank you! Real work done by @evil_trout @samsaffron @neill @Supermathie

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossrubin did you notice there is almost a half aisle of iPhone and iPad game accessories at the local Target? I was shocked.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nicksahler made from the best glass on earth http://t.co/9x1ULub52n

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jessemcnelis that is kind of the way I see it too

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Greenspeak is this a song about sexing?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@garychou green mayonnaise. nasty.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donpark I just email them usually

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mabster @kevindente kind of, I covered this a while ago too. But searches are too plastic, you really want point-in-time

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon that is a great idea, but as @kevindente pointed out, could be a blog-agnostic service too

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente point taken, but pretty crappy experience for the user.. half your clicks seriously misfire, what does that teach you?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sonnes @discourse we want to support lots of email configs, but we don't outsource core competencies (hosting, etc)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life @ckindel Jesus, I hope you can help because Amazon's device software is awful, easily the worst in the industry.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza That's So Raven. You're So Raven.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tinkertim @lizardbill you guys should be teaching that class

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baconmeteor this is the problem with all Harvard Facebook emigre products, they are all secretly about social status, not information.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baconmeteor was it ever interesting? Mostly Quora was B through F list circlejerking.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Greenspeak Try Super Monday Night Combat instead. The show voiceovers are insanely great. http://t.co/DGdcFkBTIg

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @evgenymorozov he wrote the ultimate TL;DR

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa @cdespinosa so another "I lived through the depression so I keep all my money in mattresses, not banks" story?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadsquid @johnolilly an excellent policy I try to follow as well

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TheEvanCarroll if you ran seriously I would vote for you without hesitation

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iandevlin Thanks for taking the time to complain though. Cheers!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iandevlin you read every single tweet? Sure you didn't miss any? May I quiz you back to 2007?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway @robconery node is just javascript on the server. What jQuery is for node is yet to be established even a little.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@robconery @jongalloway can you point to a rails-equiv? I haven't heard anything. Just cancers!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway maybe but the existing state of node "frameworks" is pretty lame to the point of nonexistence. Where's the baby?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway can't argue with Atwood's law. It's about 5 years from where it needs to be, there is no "rails" for it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@evil_trout .. And then you woke up!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@michaelpinto I'm remembering that the Mac was Jobs baby and it was, and is, an awful gaming platform.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zcichy an official controller accessory would be a literal game changer, on a couple different levels

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zcichy @jdalrymple sure, I said, "if true". Historically has been gimped because nobody at Apple was willing to embrace gaming as a target.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cdixon my standards are.. pretty high http://t.co/7m8lbHvxw1

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hayvok there are some amazing COBOL projects out there, for sure. But the future, it ain't.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Donny_V ruby 2.0 is 20% faster for us.. Lots of room for speedier versions.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hayvok I hear there are still people writing COBOL. Who am I to judge these people?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_ I am sure they exist, but hardly common, and not what one expects to load on a web page or forum!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash not really that hard to understand. Ever seen a 90 second animated gig?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Greenspeak yeah but the story gets kind of absurd by the end, veering into "and then you woke up!" territory

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway @ericlaw oh yeah my machine is TOTALLY compromised right now. Totally. I'm not even typing this, russian mobsters are.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jorm wasn't that basically the storyline of Braid? SPOILER ALERT

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@thatdawnperson yeah but http://t.co/x7Wc2WPwny

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kyletolle it's shockingly good. I barely even liked 2.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anandshimpi you and me both, brother. Imagine the alternate reality where Atom hadn't been intentionally crippled for 5 years.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cap "we came to the conclusion that Twitter's public follow model was broken" is completely nuts. Like One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest nuts.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lxcid glad you found it useful!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ftrain I wish someone would break in then I wouldn't be so lonely all the time, wait we have 3 children I will never be alone again ever

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@whiskeysteve @ftrain if you do it right trolling is poetry

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ftrain are you doing poetry right now? is this poetry? is that what's going on? is this what the kids are into?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sebbean snake related, e.g. http://t.co/uJjzD3ercO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BillB all those laws are supposed to be funny in the beginning, then they stop being funny and become deadly serious one day

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ericlaw I do kinda regret that the random country chooser (not joking, I used one) picked Bulgaria for that post.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RecodingBlog I know, and most applicants to Harvard are rejected for "not being good enough". JERKS. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BillB you should have written it in Node.js man. NEWBIE MISTAKE

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RecodingBlog yeah, if by 'respect' you mean 'we want to have discussions here, like a forum'

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@richwag was not referring to her comments, hers are a recipe for help vampire burnout IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kylotan @dotnetchris Depends what kinds of change you're proposing. Power windows? Sure. Add a truck bed to the car.. notsomuch

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kylotan @dotnetchris well, at least there was a conversation about it, that is what meta is for.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kylotan @dotnetchris they should! If you have specific examples, please do take it up on http://t.co/MTyjVmiJwf

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@balpha I need to delete this tweet from the Internet

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kylotan @dotnetchris well, SE is not a discussion forum -- were you treating it as one? It's a common misconception. No discussions.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Blaxus discuss it on http://t.co/MVKbgsCznt e.g. http://t.co/t4WdQdHBd0 and see "linked" and "related" in the right column there

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fivethirtyeight decide if you want a touch laptop first http://t.co/6ABJ45tiWU

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gabrielroth well that is THE LAW, man

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss I reject "do nothing". That's an empty, soulless void. Do SOMETHING, for God's sake.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss Guns don't kill people. Wayne LaPierre kills people.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@vbullinger @m_grady well, except that people will need food and shelter and education forever. That "problem" goes on forever.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fmanjoo do you even lift, bro?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss if your kids actually said this they are the coolest kids ever

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baconmeteor wow she wasn't even trying on that one, was she? Just.. fuck it, why not?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@evil_trout for single player only it's definitely a letdown by definition. The multiplayer sandbox is amazing though, so many stories!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@evil_trout I spent 6 hours in single player BF3, and 200+ in the amazing multiplayer sandbox. Guess which part matters more?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@garbaczd the multiplayer sandbox is not though!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@infspacestudios @throctukes when doing open source I prefer to pick a platform that was born open source and is natively open source
