@migueldeicaza @shanselman every place it's "required" they typically support Twitter, too. And if not, well.. fuck 'em

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza @shanselman as with so many other Facebook related things, simple answer is "don't use Facebook"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seldo @rockhardawesome calls it "the disco". Will that suffice?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edbott the truth is a bit scarier: Mac and Windows apps don't need to exist; do everything on the iOS device directly to the cloud.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cfischer83 Item the first: everyone does not "love" PHP. Item the second: Atwood's Law.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@louispellerin can't, might jump on my face while taking the pic

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne ironic or not ironic? I honestly can't tell...

@renegard2 when your children apologize on your behalf, you have failed utterly.

@NathanBowers eventually, yes, (almost) everything will be like an Xbox.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jzy you should adopt my motto: "circumnavigating a seething ocean of adrenaline-fueled rage since 1970!"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jzy pussy!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timohetzel @seldo probably because it was written in PHP and doesn't scale.

@DrPizza I want to see a blog entry from you explaining just how USENET is more effective than Stack Overflow. I'd like some details.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DrPizza we built an imperfect system, just like every other system before it. If you think you can do better, go for it. I'll wait here.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DrPizza welcome to the desert of the real. We build systems that work on actual human beings, not hypothetically perfect ones.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DrPizza the "extrinsic" motivation you refer to is simply peer recognition. That's how programmers work, period. http://t.co/LZUUfNRu

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DrPizza yeah, good point, extrinsic motivation might produce horrible answers like http://t.co/2MRdcg6j

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DrPizza hmm. I'd argue that chat produces Speed Chess, which is vastly inferior to Chess. To me the lack of chat search artifacts is QED

@codinghorror
@timbray see http://t.co/m7eKseCB specifically "it does not seem to be as simple as high contrast being better than low contrast"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eedeep can't be, if they're basing it on IRC. IRC needs to be *replaced by doing what it can never do* not emulated.

@wilshipley too bright to use the iPads and MacBookz, man

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rhp7 yes, but I didn't want to put that on the Twitters :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake great writeup, but of course definitions of "user" can be kind of weaselly too: http://t.co/xKJDv96P

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cshirky I was initially excited about that, then I realized it would be tend to be heavily self promotional bullshit. But I guess I'll try

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy @NathanBowers except for your mom. She fits everything.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers we need a slightly larger iPhone and a slightly smaller iPad. One size doesn't fit all!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wingedpig I see someone is sensitive about their server-side C++ :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@folktrash @pragdave yeah totally #firstworldproblems

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@heyboyo I was, but then I realized I didn't hate myself that much, yet

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@welchb I looked that up http://t.co/mr1zHu2O and doesn't seem to be true.. 1 out of 2 babbies is definitely interacting with us a little

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@natfriedman @migueldeicaza it is godawfully slow, easily the slowest app I've tried on iPad 3. Also the twee fake book border is lame.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deliciousmonstr can you have some posts on The Bachelor?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

@codinghorror
@abbytmiller lol oh man that's hilarious. I also wrote a book. Feel free to read it. http://t.co/4zWyeGzm

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tomasmcguinness log in with google, Facebook, twitter seems to have traction, openid alone is risky

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@alexweberis oops. thanks, need to fix that!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life if you read more closely, it's two things a) topic more important than user and b) not being dicks about quality

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy @samsaffron @Nick_Craver oh there is absolutely a wrong time to buy Apple stuff: imagine buying an iPad 2 in Feb of this year...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@samsaffron @nick_craver that's called "buying at the right time". Key with Apple.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mpaluchowski @controlbreak there are zillions of password databases and every day one falls into the wrong hands. Even internally...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Sporked rainbow tables irrelevant for reasons explained in blog entry http://t.co/Mo05fE4i

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@WithinRafael that's actually... a really good idea!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I'll make a Long Bet with you that this does not happen in 2030.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ftrain babies are history's greatest monster. Imagine the people with triplets! Thinking of selling one of our twins on eBay.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@samsaffron tell me how many MD5/hashes sec your Macbook Air does, so that I might laugh at its puny weakness!!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@amyhoy right but ... Duh? Endlessly focusing on X where X is anything is bad. The really dangerous folks are the ones who "never" failed.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@amyhoy per 59 Seconds, writing about failure is one of the best ways to get through it. It's science. http://t.co/x4lV2pSt

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@xX__SIC__Xx you don't need any rep to ask questions, just make them good, well researched questions: http://t.co/oj1lNy4a

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@inert_wall yeah true they'd have 2x the battery life!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gaurish HEY MAN THIS IS ENGINEERING

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rishavrastogi interesting, I'll give that a shot.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza yes, @shanselman and I were talking about this a while ago! Meatballs is amazing. Megamind is also great!

@codinghorror
@Rellix Sorry about that. As a consolation, I'll pay you $5 to write "Coding Horror rulez!" on your forehead.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Rellix how did you even find that? Never occurred to me, and now I have to go look. :p

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hotdogsladies I made thousands using CASH DUKE'S DYNAMIC CASH GIVANATION SYSTEM!!!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I hope it results in some good contributions, both physical and otherwise!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timbray they should also block their own ads. You know, for readability.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake can I anti-fund a kickstarter? Pledge money to have it not exist? I am only partially kidding.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edbott release I never touch betas

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edbott there is something very wrong with the current Chrome ver, seeing a bunch of problems I've never ever had with it before

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@victorvogelpoel leave a comment on the post linking to any cool geeky stuff from the http://t.co/zyMhwgKA !

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mojombo your first child? Congrats! Also, you are soooo screwed :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mikeindustries thanks your blog entry just earned me $60! LUNCH IS ON ME WOOOoOOOooOO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gregorysean welcome, friend! We've been expecting you. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@HJennerway pretty sure that was @balpha he's the Michael Jordan of April Fools techniques

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jongalloway there's still nothing that touches Office, which is still quite amazingly good. Google Docs is pretty laughable

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose these are very bad photos. I am telling you this because I love you.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gregorysean @chockenberry I'm just saying, have a concept that's awesome. Don't just phone April Fools in because "everyone does it"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GaryJanetti @splattne "work hard." Most aren't born talented, they get there by doing it over and over: http://t.co/Jz0pNy9E

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers the burden is on primarily the companies to give a crap about the quality of what they create. Consumers are unsophisticated.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers well, consumers also don't know what's good for them and take what they're served. Not enough holding the line.
