@evanskaufman yeah I hope I was not that much of an ass in college. But I probably was.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baconmeteor what you described sounds awful, just terrible on so many levels. I don't know what to say other than "keep going"

@MatthewRyanRead not 2.5" fit in laptop size

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PenguinTweet won't fit in any laptop, almost double height

@ElegantCoder 15? Try 27. p.s. we are old and stinky.

@Greenspeak how can you not have Rock Band 3? You are literally history's greatest monster.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa you are a much better writer now than you were in 2005. I will leave it at that. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gwestr it's mostly a hardware issue, not an OS issue

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway let me add some cynicism: I equate "inspiring" with "amount of free stuff we were given". Free stuff is cool though.

@codinghorror
@marcprecipice @Gogo in flight wifi was an utter disaster last time I tried it on Virgin. First time I've demanded refund in ages.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@koxinga21 @fmanjoo I don't think you guys understand how the slippery slope of "always compatible" leads to so much pain later.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente @markrussinovich ooh, what kind of character? Kind of a Mr. Bean type?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drylight cheap computers, yes. Keyboard does seem optional, though, I'll give you that.

@devnulled I have about 5,000 screenshots of fail whale from the last 10 weeks I'd like to share with you.

@derekaug measure time to first byte; not talking about your network speed or browser rendering speed

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codinghorror node.js, to me, seems to add some pain while removing others. MVC was pure pain-removal with no downside. webforms LOL

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente I guess that's OK if you plan to re-write your app from scratch 3 times in the next 3 years.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonelf these are not micro-optimizations, I'm talking about 10ms versus 100ms to serve a basic page. Higher for more complex.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente I called him and talked to him about that; he convinced me not to use node. It's Ruby in 2004. Way, way too early.

@TheEvanCarroll excellent, enjoy the trial. I literally cannot think of a better jury panel candidate than you.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baconmeteor I only read Teenage Paranomal Romance these days

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TheEvanCarroll I think you are the perfect person to sub for me in this 5 week jury duty I am currently on. Contact judge immediately.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@white_neil was that ever actually confirmed?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@damncabbage "Please make sure your question uniquely applies to programmers" http://t.co/1NKlQaJG otherwise, http://t.co/x2R3X9FN

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@damncabbage yet more "we want to have discussions" nonsense. Stack Exchange is not a platform for discussion.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente Every Kid Is Different. Except mine which is better than yours!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente that is odd because girls are better at potty training, statistically speaking. Are they around older kids? We find that helps.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bates_thomas generally when I refer to them, because of an email or conversation. No need to silo the information.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossrubin oh definitely nonstarter that is GREAT

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy why did I watch that again? Why?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bates_thomas I don't track hits, I don't look at analytics hardly ever

@johnolilly I tend to change the question into what I want to be asked. Enjoy :)

@josephcooney Reading Is Fundamental

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@csanyk it helps to read the article before replying.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide thank the Jesus, this is what I was complaining about. Much happier now.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossrubin 8 week battery life more than seals the deal for me. It's tough to get more than a day out of the Google Nexus 7" with any use.

@kevindente I stopped wanting to go because Maker Faire is crushingly, overwhelmingly crowded 100% of the time now.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@magnayn you don't (or married, that counts too)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente @NathanBowers The same "lot of people" that paid $599 for an iPhone? Yeah. v1 was not 100% awesome. Nothing is, for the record.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I lived in 2007 and I'd take 3G (it was available then, I had it) and shit browser over WebKit and Edge. Annnny fucking day.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jongalloway iPhone v1 was not 100% awesome. I got one word for you: Edge.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@davewiner that is good to hear. Nobody on this trial is there without reason. That is clear.

@johnolilly I should add that the laptop sold on eBay for more than 2x what I was asking on Craigslist.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly I recently put a laptop on Craigslist and got nothing. Ditto for 2 cheap Boppy baby bouncers. No responses. Laptop sold on ebay.

@cometbus any user with 3k rep can vote to close, or vote to reopen. "Watchers" watch each other.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cometbus not every student can attend Harvard, either. Strictness exists to serve a particular goal.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway you are in the wrong place. Don't like country & western? leave the country & western bar.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway @splattne they are "all" closed? Let's count them. I think you're grinding a pet axe about discussion questions. Go to a forum.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway A better use of your time to stop complaining about it and build or find alternatives. If you like discussions, use forums.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@KirinDave I have high DPI monitors now. Chrome uses an archaic font rendering mode that IE9 and Firefox have long since left behind. FYI.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dodgy_coder looks correctly closed to me. Don't speculate, try it yourself first. If you then have specific issues, ask them.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@KirinDave Windows' rendering strategy is better at low DPI. Apple's is better at high DPI. Guess what kind of monitors I have now? GUESS

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway it is fair to observe that some of these not useful closed Qs need to be deleted so they aren't found. Flag 'em as such.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway Q was literally "give me alternatives to X". If it had a ton more specifics, so there was actually a criteria to judge, perhaps

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway @nathanbowers take your "list of X" questions elsewhere. Go to Quora, I hear it's good for people who have opinions to share.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway you know "recommend me an X" is not allowed. That's just "let's make a list of stuff!"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@blackmage71 @shanselman that is because he is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Keep trying Hanselman! Your spirit is an inspiration to us all!

@codinghorror
@toymachinesh @RockBandAide whole *point* of Blitz is high scores.. that I can never reach .. incredibly self-defeating exercise. Sad. :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@toymachinesh @RockBandAide when I play Blitz, even to "get more coins" I get all pissed off because I can never possibly get a high score.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide Ironically if they let me buy unlimited coins for $9.99 or whatever, I'd have no complaints. At least then it'd be fair.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide incredible to me how much defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory with Blitz. A game about high scores, but only for some

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide "hey, I can try to get a really high score for this song I love that I bought!" "nope. need coins to score lots." Why bother?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide It's a badly designed game, period. Has nothing to do with "gimme teh coinz", but "feels rather unfair". Bad design.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide I don't think this game is going to be a success for Harmonix. I was excited for it, now I kinda hate it, to be honest.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide the inherent unfairness (without coins, can't be competitive) of the game is really not fun. I want a level playing field!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide every time I play, I'm thinking "I am one of the poor folk who can't compete with others, the playing field is not level."

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide why can't they "give" coins away? Why can't I just use whatever powerups I want any time? This game is frustrating as hell.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide and as for #2, I "spend" more to use powerups on a new song than I earn from playing the new song...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide #1 not really into that, #2 yes, but requires lots of play, #3 no facebook account with no plans to ever have one.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@toymachinesh yeah but the whole point is to get high scores, and you can't do that, at all, unless you have all unlocks + coins to use 'em.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake gotta go with this as my favorite Bootie mashup from the last 6 years: http://t.co/8hVbWa70

@sonergonul fantastic! Teaching each other is how we learn from our peers.

@kjhealy have you been to Texas, Arizona, or even California lately? Very much wild west.
