@DocPop the more pertinent question is.. can anyone stop them from doing so?

@codinghorror
@patio11 thank you and everyone else who worked on this project! 🙏

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zobayertt that is the song of my people!

@codinghorror
@splattne These are AMAZING! Does she like the Apple Pencil and iPad Pro combo for digital work?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SpikeWilliams that's an.. opinion

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maxxdaymon @siracusa nope you are not wrong!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ratkins yeah, you bring up an excellent point, actually.. 🤔

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maxxdaymon Yeah the Apple // was quite expensive, *but* the hardware was very, very cleverly designed. Woz was a preview of all the custom ARM hardware magic we would see decades later from Apple, I suppose? cc @siracusa

@migueldeicaza loss aversion is a hell of a drug. each downvote in Stack Overflow costs -1 reputation, and I was always surprised that (some) people with tens of thousands of reputation would avoid casting downvotes because it cost them 1 rep every time they did it.

@Gryzor See the discussion topic — not too keen on clone and clone supersets but you can link an implementation in the readme in the program folder

@nedbat We had poor results using Tidelift, I am sad to say

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer @samsaffron @betsyphd well, the issue is we now have one billion "journalists" publishing everywhere.. so the situation has evolved

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer @samsaffron @betsyphd or we can play "my data can beat up your data" which is also.. fun? 📈📉

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer @samsaffron @betsyphd just go your own way, if you want to, no need to gussy it up with fancy words. You are your own person. You do what you want. Nobody tells you what to do. You are a Rugged Individualist™

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer @samsaffron well, @betsyphd is rolling her eyes so hard they are barely in her head, and she is a scientist, so..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer @samsaffron it's like you *want* people to be anti-vaxxers; there has to be some level of process here, we can't just YOLO our way to legalizing / approving everything instantly

@deadprogrammer wake me up when I can get over the counter opioids like a REAL free country

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@FrasSmith I've clarified the stance on languages.. going with TIOBE top 20, memory safe, general purpose languages

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
We've done some preliminary work and narrowed down the list to 8 target languages. I'll blog this effort soon -- thanks for everyone's contributions so far! https://t.co/xqMEr6L72Z

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@andrewchen expand that to the world and the talent pool is endless.

@codinghorror
@MilanGriffes problem is "on average", the outliers are going to hurt you a loooot here. Think AirBnB. https://t.co/h45z1BTBew

@MilanGriffes it's like this person is wearing a handy sign saying "AVOID INTERACTING WITH ME"

@wilshipley @xor @cdespinosa plus there is a VISIBLE apple logo on the monitor, so why cover the bottom one?

@web @2PMinc @discourse Thanks for the followup, and my apologies for our mistake. We'll do what we can to rebuild that trust.

@pamelafox Do you mean .. i-deer? 😵

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@isenbaev @ID_AA_Carmack yes! I've seen Steam get very sophisticated with this and show voting graphed over time, etc.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PBfromCT @ID_AA_Carmack aahh I didn't even think of that and I believe you're right 😔

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ID_AA_Carmack how does it have such a high average review score!?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drewpotential compare and contrast! https://t.co/26vVNZeL9n

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonsneyers @joffreyjaffeux I LOVE CODECS!! 🥰

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ID_AA_Carmack I can barely tolerate the word "Qualcomm" these days

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles oh yeah there's a whole list of notices like this which produce extreme eye rolling from @betsyphd .. "not made with harmful chemicals!"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AllWeLikeWorms well, I am in the "adderall is the socially acceptable way of saying meth" camp. It's powerful stuff.

@Hanzo55 someone went a little Cajun-Krazy

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek Medemy? No, Udemy.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles yeah that's really uncool

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet ah, as a purpose built installed item for part of a presentation or display item, that makes sense

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet nice! Do you find the streamdeck useful in practice?

Jeff Atwood

@codinghorror
@xor It's worth the $$ to invest in a great chair -- will last at least a decade!

Jeff Atwood

@johnolilly @stevesi @mkapor For me, not a memo, not an essay, but a book: Code Complete! https://t.co/0gbDz0Xotg

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf what's the big picture takeaway?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lmorchard Yeah that's gonna be a big one!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Artovision3D Wow! Thank you! Let me have a think about that one and get back to you -- very generous offer!

@wistlo @luddy @superwuster yet again, all of this ignoring how digital enabled the loudness wars https://t.co/TbVUd3DlL2

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@skrenta always buy titanium, Skrenta

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@superwuster meh, I'd say the loudness wars are a factor maybe? https://t.co/TbVUd3DlL2

@codinghorror
@harjtaggar @paultoo it's.. quite good. The biggest goof in the list is probably 3D displays (and VR).

@eigenbros I personally have no problem with the blog or the author, but the cult of personality around it is not healthy IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@djbaskin we think about this every day at @discourse

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
but really who hasn't kissed their monitor at some point 💋

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz So that's the modern version (now with link) https://t.co/M0NfkXtp1w -- the LCD display model is a bit much but it is "enterprise"
