@rahulsood can you confirm this quote? http://t.co/t7fp1y2u was there data?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose yeah but not all things can be quantified, re: Google's "we test 42 shades of blue and use the best performing one"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@elliotloh I hate the mystery meat navigation of "how do I get back from here" in every iPhone app. Different every time..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jamesrom not so -- you get +100 on *every* site once you cross +200 on any of them. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jamesrom If you have more than 200 rep on any site you start all other sites with +100.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ChadMoran still can't repro. If no other reports on meta..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ChadMoran no repro on the moment did you check http://t.co/KI3sGqkX for any other reports?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ChadMoran I am able to log in fine at http://t.co/AMYWcKPR which redirects to https

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BJMendelson but wait, aren't the existing middlemen much worse, and take a hugely bigger cut? Enemy of my enemy...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timbray it's not so much that as secrecy is a huge pain in the ass, and takes too much effort to maintain and track

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy McRib is a crime against humanity, for reals

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hkarthik give up on native res.. 1920x1080 is doable with 6970 or 570/580

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer that is a lot of iProduct :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers just you wait my friend

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers yes, it gets incredibly good

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@molgar @marcoarment yeah, congrats! And now you know what's coming. Any resemblance to a freight train is purely coincidental :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aehiilrs dignity is overrated

@codinghorror
@phil_nash WE'LL GET YOU NASH!! <shakes fist>

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hmemcpy you mean "instead of" right? :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley @tooshel there's lots good about Jobs, I just object to the Beatification. He's like, this guy, man.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aalear hey! you should be playing rocksmith, man! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mde @oscargodson yes, girls means easier time now and harder time later. I am OK with that tradeoff.. for now..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@reply to me with URL to your Stack Exchange account user page and your PC video card. Must have 1.5k rep on SO or 500 rep on any other site

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hkarthik the pink, it burns! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mde I was very afraid of the 3 boys outcome... Henry is a handful

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers you used the "hardass sports coach" metaphor. Fine, but how many coaches are on a team?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I don't disagree, but imagine a whole company of people like that, because "that's the culture". Unsustainable.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@grammarware @jzy you're probably right

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley there should be a Faygo-tality.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy I think you underestimate people's opinion of their own genius.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy I like Jobs. I respect Jobs. But you have to be very careful in picking and choosing the parts of Jobs you wish to emulate.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy actions speak loudest though: and the silence is deafening. http://t.co/1wp8GLHV

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway we give privately. for the sekritz. SHHHHH

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy I truly worry that the Jobs bio teaches "it's OK to be an a-hole if you're a genius" to a-holes everywhere. No, you're just an a-hole.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@demisbellot then you should read the facts and learn to also be critical of his bad leadership vis-a-vis philanthropy for billionaires

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@demisbellot if you're such a huge Jobs fan, your life choices should reflect those values -- become a full time OSX or iOS dev.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JosephRooks well they don't have to. They can spend it all on hookers, blow, and gold-plated superyachts.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@demisbellot he shut down all charitable ops at Apple in 1997 for "reasons of profitability" and *never* brought them back. "Private"?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@demisbellot he was not retired in 1994. Jobs went out of his way to decline every opportunity; read the article I linked please. Facts.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@demisbellot Wikipedia disagrees with you. Gates foundation started in 1994, well before Windows 95 was released.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pilky @wilshipley this implies we need Jobs to get Malaria to work towards a cure. Not exactly inspiring.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mdhughes it was all execution. Which is indeed laudable. Everything's stolen, it's just how *well* you steal and get the price down.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley disagree; those in positions of great power and wealth (and influence) must do more. And set examples.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers Gates Foundation was founded in 1994. That's before Windows 95 was released. You were saying? Yeah.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @wilshipley the Reality Distortion Field strikes again. I'm sure people dying of malaria appreciate good industrial design.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I like Jobs, I just don't think he is a God or perfect. And I think it's shameful to have billions and not be a philanthropist

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley or you could, y'know, donate a billion dollars toward eliminating Malaria. THINK DIFFERENT. http://t.co/s7PaJjF2

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet don't worry, all my *autographed* books are staying. A much smaller shelf...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@angrynoah weird. I need to look up the details on that, no repro would be surprising

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@taylormarshall don't know ask @alexlmiller

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp is it open this week? I thought they were rebuilding that

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@topley only under duress and the "options" on it are virtually useless

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@there_from_here that's a scorched earth policy -- nobody wins on edit?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@there_from_here not that different than source control -- who gets all the kudos from the software you build? Usually not coders...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles it works ok on stack exchange because we require evidence and actively suppress unsubstantiated opinions. Thank jebus

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@patrick_mc arrgh I will have to edit one of those out

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@there_from_here no, we considered that early on but it gets hellishly complex to understand much less implement

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@randompunter that's in place to encourage people to not post ginormous, unreadably wide code samples. Smaller font @ http://t.co/LYdSFdXj

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AofANLA The data in the studies I found doesn't support your assertion.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway Dance Central 2 is not out yet; are you playing a developer beta?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz in pictorial form: I want to go immediately from 1 to 3. Step 2 is .. not necessary. http://t.co/i8ugN5YQ

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tmarman @coreyh @jongalloway oh you mean the Sandforce 2200 issue? Yeah, at least 1 BSOD per week for me; hopefully latest firmware fixes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway did you swap them one by one or all at once? Reducing variables is key

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fredwilson once you have children, the flu shot should be mandatory...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz this "link to a post that is itself just a link to another post" strategery of yours is kind of a bummer, man. Middlemen!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @gruber I have three words for you: Tactical. Internet. Pants.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mjmdavis Never heard of it. http://t.co/MHh0cBB0

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilhil I'm just playing with it. I really REALLY *REALLY* like this though http://t.co/QVKAF1ni and I need media keys

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers this did not end well for email

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nitish @edward_tanguay I am guessing he meant "American Indian"

@codinghorror
@Grumpydev my figures show 5w at $6.25/year and 20w at $25/year. You won't do better than 5w, ever.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Grumpydev well, my latest HTPC build is 17w idle. http://t.co/7DnIaqrp

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon I also ordered three more keyboards.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@petebrazier mostly I am in love with http://t.co/QVKAF1ni

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gkra agree; I found one link describing a similar situation, where they opened the keyboard and repositioned the membrane. Lot of work tho

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iandevlin yes, they should. Otherwise it's retribution central. We have the data to support this too. Who did you vote for in the election?

Jeff Atwood

@waxpancake Nintendo is walking dead; will be first true casualty of total Apple dominance IMO.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@YellAtFamousPPL thanks -- I originally saw it at http://t.co/76qGmEW7 and couldn't find a citation there or via google search

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@YellAtFamousPPL I can't find the citation, how about being helpful and providing it? Or just y'know.. yelling. That's.. something.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danmiser it's so beautiful, man

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@vinch01 there already is, click the star next to the question

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RobAshton I think being gay requires you to do a bit more thinking about how you approach situations. Less prejudice now though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Hanzo55 ah, the "question the question" game; it is valid though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa we should continue this on a podcast as @wilshipley suggested

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa I barely use apps at all on my iPhone, honestly. Games, but I'd rather play Battlefield 3 if I have the time to game at all.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa I don't develop for it, and never will. Only the open web, fuck everything else.
