This was, believe it or not, what passed for insanely good graphics back in the day https://t.co/VSEyAE9JeE

@SomeAreDead I was thinking of this because https://t.co/voaiDDyPmH

Ironically my dad was never much of a gamer, still isn't, but he did love playing this Munchman game with me on the TI-99/4A https://t.co/qBmJc5PbXD

@mihai_sebea @damienkatz My Coleco Adam cassette tapes used to unspool and I had to disassemble them and re-assemble to save my source code! https://t.co/0NG8iHWJhe

@KeeTraxx if you read the replies to this tweet, I linked to two blog entries that cover it

@Pinboard No, we can’t 😻

@bemmu Only he knows!

@Seanbabydotcom Thank you for your service 🙏

@Pinboard it's almost like everyone should be voting by mail 🤔

@chrisfcarroll remember that this vulnerability was *always* short-lived

@secretGeek @jongalloway Maybe one of the best five shows I've *ever* seen. Like in my whole life.

@Pinboard I feel like @patio11 should weigh in here

@sdotone 🤜💥🤛

@krcraft I typed in soo many terrible BASIC games! https://t.co/iEapIzwx2o and https://t.co/fiG5X13C6H

@toddhoffious ex-fucking-actly 👏

@BillB can I come over to your house and we can do it together? At a safe distance, I mean?

maybe said it here in not such a nice way, but it's still true.. https://t.co/Lr14FgmDJe

learning when to stop talking and be quiet and still is a superpower. I know we all forget this in the era of 24/7 always on social media, but.. maybe try to remember?

like, I love Wirecutter but I seriously don't think I need to know the Wirecutter internal "strategy" for dealing with COVID. Or my domain registrar's "strategy". Being quiet helps, sometimes.

@BillB ooo should we be doing this to ours?

@LisRiba Scout!!

One minute later... ⏱ https://t.co/G1exnOkVdi

@rus_kz IKEA I think

@erwindeg Use cetaphil or another lightweight, non scented lotion. I like it a lot!

@erwindeg Lotion my friend. It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again

@kevindente @betsyphd thinks he has it already

@jongalloway The whole point is that figuring out what happened is the journey. They legit thought it was impossible and the research was classified. That is why the dramatic powerful reveal at the end. And the real failure was *the state*!

@jongalloway The big reveal is at the end and it is one of the best episodes of any show I have *ever* seen. Patience.

@marcgravell must.. resist.. urge.. to.. retweet.. this..

@cwodtke I love it, let's see more of this

@s_everson @Pinboard heyy I have that keyboard too!!

@wingedpig I know, right?!

@Supermathie so beardy!!

@RobOlmos @patio11 but look at PHP's performance evolution, Facebook's (terribly named) Hack and the other ways PHP was made dramatically faster via JIT compilation. We're still far from that on the Ruby side 😢 https://t.co/oUnAYCogJN

@fmanjoo @JoannaStern childcare OPPORTUNITY, you mean 😊

@cantoraman the risk of fiction! ;)

@jub0bs @patio11 Ruby is still good, and works well, but the Ruby/Rails culture inherited from 2005 has a lot of .. aftershocks.. that they didn't think through fully. Ruby the language should be much more mature than it is today.

@patio11 you can kinda see this in the way Python has flourished. But has Ruby/Rails? No.

@patio11 The indoctrination of the entire Rails community into "performance literally does not matter" was poison from the start. I'm not saying performance is everything, but not caring at all is.. bad times ahead, for decades.

you think *coding* is a superpower? Try writing a paragraph. You'll change the entire world.

@aNullValue @PhilipBattin see, if we all ate only Twinkies this would be less of a problem

@aNullValue @PhilipBattin hoooly shit that is LITERALLY the way the movie Contagion (2011) starts, too 😱

@PhilipBattin "... it would sure help if every country would shut down their wet markets. " What does this mean? What is a wet market? Like a fish market?

@fabynou @PierB @balpha I didn't know what I was going to do

@jarrod_dixon @deadprogrammer @jzy howwww did you ever find thissss

@cwodtke or are poor.

@cwodtke I feel like this is a bit tone deaf to people who have 3+ kids and two working parents, though.

@deadprogrammer @jzy you can't possibly understand the burden of bearing the megapenis

@shog9 don't be The Guy In The Room https://t.co/5eP4XG2mzW

@scottwasson worst sequel ever. They tied the only actual work they're *barely* willing to do, to a terrible doomed platform (VR). That's how desperate they are. It reeks of desperation and failure.

@jzy @deadprogrammer awww yiss

@xor Winning isn't irrelevant. And I know Bernie can't win against Trump. He's an even more ideal opponent than Clinton, and we saw how that went. This is what is in my heart, this is what I know.

@xor no. I will never stay home again. Believe that.

@xor I am, and I voted for Warren.

@xor so I have to vote my heart. Sorry.

@xor I just need someone that can win, and in my heart I feel very strongly that Bernie is an ideally weak opponent against Trump. No shade on his policies at all. I feel he's very divisive and gives off a super strong divisive vibe.

@elmuertecom @discourse well yeah, because typing "yup" is easy while typing an entire coherent paragraph is.. much more challenging ;)

@xor doesn't matter. Bernie can't win against Trump. Zero chance. We need someone that can actually win.

that being said, I do understand that "free" is a hell of a drug, and having someone else do the work for "free" is easier than doing the work. But shared VPS hosting is down to about $5/month these days. 🤷‍♂️

Communities that don't own themselves, that are asking for the very permission to _exist_ from Basecamp, from Facebook, from Twitter, from Discord.. from any company.. I suggest you collectively think very long and hard about what you've committed to.

and of course beyond that it's completely free open source software. You do NOT need our permission to do whatever you like with @discourse. We will fully support you because every community that *owns itself* is a net win for the whole world. https://t.co/yMNzCBxKcK

@dhh "fully formed sentences composing cohesive paragraphs" is the entire raison d'être for @discourse 💪¶

@deadprogrammer I feel like this is why you think I look slavic, because I have an extreme case of resting bitch face and always have

@Pinboard I'm helping! I'm helping!

@seesharp No. Keep going. I want utter economic desolation. This underscores what a sham Trump always was.

@johnolilly @joshelman @saarsaar my dudes I just got back from Taco Bell and I REGRET NOOOTTTHINNGGG 🔔🌮

@Pinboard Yeah I was just telling @betsyphd we're in the 1960s now in terms of social unrest. A lot of people have very fond memories of the 1960s in retrospect!

I wish this was actually a joke

@rory_blyth D100 challenge. I just rolled.. 59. Ante up.

@spies_please Yessss

@mojombo 🎉 let us know if we can help with anything @discourse related feel free to ping me @samsaffron or @eviltrout

This thing has saved me like 5 minutes of poop-adjacent work every day. For real. Strong recommend.

@WendlerBiz you're damn right because THEY ARE AWESOME

@timbray @_msw_ @anandtech "Overall, the A12X is a beast of a SoC" https://t.co/kIdvLKsEWX

@timbray yeah this is the kinda thing where Apple's A12X or A13X in a server would absolutely mop the floor with the contenders in terms of performance per watt. It wouldn't even be *close*

@HitokiriEric I think we need to break from the old style; this is like arguing all YouTubers and Twitch streamers should ape the old TV show habits that came before.

@JoannaStern @rjonesy yes, rigidly enforced one level of "threading" is OK 👌

@djbaskin @discourse Pairing (for code), Mingling (for "how ya doin?"), Secret Santa, Mentoring, Onboarding!

@djbaskin lol we legit have this as a todo topic for a @discourse plugin and our all-remote team.

@amandafrench @ftrain https://t.co/bUDbiBXv5f

@cwodtke @amyhoy https://t.co/XNZ8Qi9EeY

@cwodtke @amyhoy you saw Gruber's recent excellent rant on this (iPad multitasking being a mistake in the big scheme of things)? It was a good one!

@patio11 @tqbf This is why I love you Patrick, always asking the hardest questions. Seriously, no irony intended! 💖

@Frauenfelder easy to agree: the ultimate and highest voted reddit post is *always* a funny / weird / interesting image

@timbray undeniably huge!

@chetfaliszek I, too, am a part of other problems. We should hang out.

@eric_poe ommgggg yes

I was always fascinated with bands where the lead singer is the drummer, too

@cwodtke all colors are beautiful 🎨

@avifreedman @adlangx there IS a relationship, I thought about this too!

@Pinboard I love you Maciej, and this is for you https://t.co/wxdywsVTTH

@avifreedman yeah it's complicated. It is objectively good, sort of, but.. it isn't real?

@dylanmalone you have to say it in that dramatically paused, excessively emphasized NPR voice.

This is an abomination https://t.co/Y86nsgfyU3

I experience actual, real physical pain looking at this image

MY EYES THE GOGGLES THEY DO NOTHING https://t.co/s8FAd4Cd10

@JBrooksBSI @ID_AA_Carmack yeah even two generations isn't enough. More like 4-5.

@Pinboard https://t.co/30al60vSJu

@ID_AA_Carmack but now that x86 has conquered the console world (apparently?) maybe even that need won't exist in the future.. it'll be x86 all the time, forever?

@ID_AA_Carmack the only exception would be if the chip is for hardware emulation of an older system, like the PS2 (early models) did. Software emulation is so so expensive. But even that chip got cut due to ongoing costs, so 🤷‍♂️
