@DocPop Ok Trebek. Will you grill a yo-yo?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jcoehoorn well, some people prefer the Android OS. That part I get. The monoculture around SoCs in Android world is highly unfortunate.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ShineAngelic check out the wirecutter lists and see! All sensible recomemndations.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza the one thing that made me suspect the list is the white chocolate macadamia nut clif bars. https://t.co/oq2YwR52p4

This one's for the Android folks: 'It is fast, elegant, and does everything you’d expect a “flagship” to do.' https://t.co/HEUBA3XlbH

@wilshipley Well, it was Carl Sagan.

@codinghorror
I am reminded of the Power Mac 7100 and its "BHA" project code name https://t.co/FV7hhzByMG

@codinghorror
@jongold I think it's Facebook based which is a non-starter for me unfortunately :(

@codinghorror
@dbrower rain is pretty rare this time of year in CA. Most of the stuff I leave out is fairly desirable so it shouldn't be there too long. I do a drive by after 3-4 days and remove anything nobody wanted. I expect all this will be gone though.

@codinghorror
@0x0090 @GoodwillIntl they often don't take toys though, or are generally full up

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@0x0090 it's a generally deserted lot, not a lot of people riding BART at the moment and this lot is an auxiliary lot which is lightly used even in normal non-pandemic times

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz this should be held in Second Life

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz @alanpdx @migueldeicaza well yeah Uber super-sucks, and has always sucked, no disagreement there

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz @alanpdx @migueldeicaza we don't really get a choice in this, so I'm unclear what point it is, if any, you're trying to make here.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz @alanpdx @migueldeicaza this is .. actually a good take. And mask wearing is more accepted. Compare with 9/11 outcomes which were full bore BS.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SamWangPhD @Nayfield the past is the past, but.. that was a pretty damn epic slip-up as I recall

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mjbiren have donated many times to this one

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@CasseyLottman @karaforcongress donated!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@susanthesquark not like we have a choice, you either do things.. or, well, what other options are there?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JamesKirkUX also I have another one of these coming up.. for the android peoples.. I think everyone will liiiiiike ittttt 👌

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jgordonshare @Pinboard well obviously @pinboard that should go without saying. In fact I'm offended that you said that. How dare you sir. HOW DARE YOU.

@mathowie @thomasfuchs I think it's crazy that people expect an exact 1:1 recreation of THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Cyanbane ok now that's just nasty, man ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@isonno alcohol is a blunt force instrument for sure. But there is this... https://t.co/sNxX7ltJK7

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza and the surprising thing is: it's not bad, actually. I don't like black licorice *at all* but I've had way worse than this.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Just as an aside, I've always found all alcohol kind of disgusting. I did have to force myself to learn to drink beer in college because it was too socially inconvenient not to drink beer. I'm fully trained now: I can drink pretty much anything, even warm beer. Doesn't faze me.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf I was looking at some cheap fire sale tablet recently on Woot and the description said "Android 5.0"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life Excellent taste 👌

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

@codinghorror
@KristyT there's a whole scene about this in RATATOUILLE! https://t.co/hYR70tRvrh

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@partidoraro @Pinboard Single Transferable Vote (STV) voting for one thing. And actually listening to your constituents. The sane ones, anyway. https://t.co/zzSlVHc5o9 cc @jlericson

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dpchiesa @Carnage4Life well yes, but "disappear to a remote desert island where there's nothing but coconuts and crabs" is also an effective "strategy" for quitting .. anything.. right? My point is that there's an in-between here that has to be dealt with.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life their only hope is that a bunch of other companies join the protest, that remains to be seen. I do think it is "good trouble" though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life I'm not a huge fan of the "hide the cookie jar to deal with your cookie eating habit" advice, but I guess I agree putting cookies all over the house in super convenient locations would also be a bad idea..

@codinghorror
@dorianmariefr @discourse there is a user pref to disable it, but you need to be logged in

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dehora a whole lot of googling

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lizardbill I too am perplexed by this mystery. If you ever figure it out, let me know!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DocPop yeah venmo defaulting transaction history to public was always a little strange... though it can be quite fun, and there is a history of internet services making private things public: https://t.co/Vqz8C7iAEW

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rmartinhof @klmr I'm now terminating this conversation because I don't think it's going anywhere. But taking this action would, IMO, make a fox-sinclair indoctrinated grandparent really think about how a common public service being intentionally undermined would affect *them*

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@klmr agree to disagree! it's a clever strategy that points out harming shared services harms us all.. in a very direct, very specific way.
... and believe me, your foe is not playing by the "gotta be nice" rules. Hasn't been for quite some time.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek @TimSweeneyEpic they are IMO overall making a good point in an interesting way, and I believe the rules (on the Apple / Google side) should change to be more equitable.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@klmr you do you, my brother. You do you.
I will say that I think you're radically underestimating your foe in this case.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@klmr 🤷♀️ some older people have been indoctrinated by Fox network propaganda and there's almost no way to reach them. Google this if you need examples. There are hundreds, thousands of articles about it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@klmr one way to soften the blow is to make the cards, take pictures, then say "darn they didn't arrive through the mail, such a shame, but luckily we took pics" and send pics via email after waiting an extended period of time. Then you aren't lying about *making* the cards, at least🤷♂️

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie I feel exactly like this about saltwater taffy. Each time, I'm like, THIS is the time, THIS is the flavor, it can actually be good!
Foiled every goddamn time.

@codinghorror
@djbaskin looking for blood and bodily fluid splatters, most likely

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard but what about our donations, should we also pace ourselves, or SEND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ALL THE TIME

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tarynpivots well, drinking is not your only option. I'll leave it at that.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tarynpivots not exactly, but describing the scope is far beyond the context allowable in a public tweet

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cpaik @Apple @EpicGames problem is Qualcomm is essentially a protected monopoly at this point (based on recent ruling), so your options are.. iOS or Qualcomm. That's literally it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cpaik @Apple @EpicGames eh, the whole definition of "is it a reader app" is kinda sketch. Hell, a craptastic Kindle Fire could be a 'reader' for MP4, MP3, and text. Fortnite is using the very sophisticated A12 hardware to deliver a pretty kick-ass gaming experience. Far, FAR ahead of qualcomm

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza slightly devalued, but pretty

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@WhyNotHugo I use @tryghost and it's been great!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz yeah well you pick your poisons and then you drink one of them

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza I have 3d-printed v-bucks, how dare you sir https://t.co/EHs0fhD2A5

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I did migrate my blog to https://t.co/guytaySamd (for RSS / email subscription needs) because I fear the imminent shutdown of Feedburner. And they were very pleasant and helpful!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@brianwhelton wow I had totally forgotten about this one https://t.co/1QERBe4Akz

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Ben_Cates @voyageur_techno @Pinboard it's just a harmful fantasy, like the idea people were buying newspapers for news instead of the sports pages

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@voyageur_techno @Pinboard that being said, there are plenty of other crap services Google could have killed off. That's a fair complaint. But RSS was megadoomed long term.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@voyageur_techno @Pinboard I'm telling you, this whole "manually pick and manually subscribe to a bunch of rando RSS feeds" model just SUUUCKED for normals.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard that's all fine, but Reader had it coming

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
good news! This was resolved in a fair way through the official @AirBnB channels 👍

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bcoops222 @JamesKirkUX I definitely appreciate the people who go above and beyond! But I prefer to give everyone an equal chance.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Congrats @jameskirkux .. you have been chosen by RNGesus! 🙇♂️ https://t.co/ST4CNBGXhu

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
ok I'm calling it! Checking for any last minute entries, then let's all 🙏 to RNGesus

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I will throw in a 128GB SD card as well (taped to the outside of the box), that's how much I love y'all. There's still ~3 hours left to donate!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Dan_Higgins @susanthesquark more science is required! 👩🔬
My *guess* is that the fabric is the problem, I recall bandana cloth being super thin
My *guess* is that the fabric is the problem, I recall bandana cloth being super thin

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Dan_Higgins @susanthesquark yeah it's the fleece from my reading of it as well. I also remember the "hold the fabric up to the sun" method of testing how well any particular fabric will block particles

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente no, just defaults afaik

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
We did it! I got from 56% at 11:33am to 100% by 2:20pm. Not sure what that plateau was. Maybe charging a battery (more tolerant of variable input voltages) rather than the phone directly would work better? Pic taken with 100% charged phone, still attached to the folded-out panels https://t.co/HLRgGPiK5j

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
huh. unplugged it, replugged it, and now it's at 95% at 2:08pm

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I should have added, the phone is face down in "airplane mode" and I covered it with a white piece of paper to avoid heat. But I adjusted the angle of the charger panels a tad and now it's at 87%

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nabokov_ef vesa mountable?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@amyjokim @BTS_ARMY @tiktok_us doesn't matter one bit unless they vote. That's why I wanted Fortnite to put in a special emote you could only get if you submitted visual proof that you voted (selfie, I guess)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
The Iris Plus 655 in this cheap NUC, compared to the for-its-time-impressive Iris Pro 580 in the 2016 Skull Canyon NUC.. has very similar performance! https://t.co/7CVEXJxRou https://t.co/8NiuBjsUp5

@codinghorror
@donpark in software, there are big city problems, and little city problems. Solutions for either can be quite different and even opposites at times!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@linuxlizard they're a lot of fun!! enjoy and thanks for the generous donation to a good cause

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life I love walking .. but gotta walk fast 🚶♂️💨

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza @stebets My only beef is that it becomes an excuse not to support auth apps or hardware 2FA. “What we have is good enough!”

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donpark Yes. one of our challenges is scaling *down*, since traditionally forum software starts with hundreds, thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people. It's surprisingly effective at smaller scales though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timbarlotta @emilyrose2nd Also @Gryzor has never forgiven me for recommending the Oasis V1. In his defense, it was a truly bad device. V2 and V3 are good though! I swear! I triple pinky swear!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard Thank you Maciej. My only regret is that your name has crazy moon characters I don't know how to type.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard donated! It is literally all I can do!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rands video driver updates are usually quite safe in my experience
