@migueldeicaza they are comparable on IPC, particularly the new 2nd gen AMD chips. But lots of cores for cheap is very much new and uncharted waters!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza Xeons are thinly rebranded regular intel chips at *tremendous* markup for the server space. Hitting Intel here means they lose a lot of margin fat -- and lots of cores has huge benefit in the server space. AMD is hitting Intel where it hurts. (also ECC for all!)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza Basically intel has to protect Xeons and “lots of cores” so attacking them there is like using kryptonite on Superman

@inter4ever_7 @rmondello @othermaciej I'm not a news outlet. The article was corrected, which is the most desirable outcome. If you have a problem with that, block my account.

Jeff Atwood

@rmondello @othermaciej I'm not a news outlet. The original article was corrected. That's all that is necessary. And I'm sure Microsoft felt the same way about Edge.. until they suddenly didn't 🤷♂️

@Stujiro aquaphor is just upscale vaseline though isn't it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life yeah why don't they ask about those wall street firms paying traders obscene amounts of money? Why don't *those* companies leave NY?

@textfiles I will personally pay you $100,000 (which can go to the Archive of course) if twitter kicks Trump off twitter. Never everrr everrrrrr gonna happen. So let's focus on winning the election maybe? 🌈

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I do support the disclaimers-with-some-tweets path for the record. I think that's about all you *can* do.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles this is a battle you can't win (not with me, I mean) -- it is the "gosh we really should try harder to bring peace to the middle east y'all" air-quotes 'solution'.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles One compromise position I do actually support is disclaimers posted directly near controversial tweets, like the fact checking Snopes links that Facebook automatically puts on "news" stuff, etc

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles And the idea that Trump, if kicked off twitter, wouldn't a) find another platform within an hour anyways and b) rain hell down on twitter and all other tech is just a child's fantasy

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles This particular battle makes ZEERRROOO sense. Twitter is damned if they do (you can't kick an elected official off twitter) and damned if they don't. Focus on the fucking election! Win THAT.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles Also treat the disease not the symptom, for fuck's sake

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles It's not Twitter's job to fix democracy in the USA. It just.. isn't. Sorry.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles Thus it has to be fixed at the USA platform level. Vote this asshat out with extreme prejudice.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles He's using the *USA* platform to do that. Twitter is just collateral damage.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I hate to be the one to break this to you, but it is not really on Twitter to fix the fact that idiots voted an idiot into the presidency

@codinghorror
@KristyT I am utterly appalled that this 💩 still happens in AD 2020

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life sort of. this guy is saying you can't edit photos or videos in the browser and furthermore those are mission critical workflows. None of that is true!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life terrible article. Chromebooks are amazing, if you embrace the "everything runs in a web browser" worldview. If you want android apps to take over the world (like this author) then you're gonna hate them

@Carnage4Life this is not a compelling rant. It's more like "in my day, we walked 5 miles each way, in snow, and we liked it!"

@codinghorror
@timbray Climate could be an issue. Scooters are 100% no-go in snow and rain and other inclement weather. It is really striking how much cheaper e-scooters are than e-bikes.. like 3-4x cheaper.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timbray also a LOT cheaper!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timbray I have; the scooter is easier to use, charge, and deal with ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TitPetric I figure people should be able to mentor themselves, if they're any good ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timbray I think scooters are more credible here https://t.co/Rn3Mdi4gGK

@TitPetric I don't mentor people as a rule

@ID_AA_Carmack compiled languages make a big difference. Quake 2 in .net was 70% of the performance of hand optimized assembly https://t.co/P49NQuWMn3 .. and that was in 2005

@ZachWeiner Per actual fucking science, peak discontent across cultures is age 47. Can attest to this truth https://t.co/J4KAa4dLVu

@codinghorror
@costa11235 @ID_AA_Carmack can you name specifics and details

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ID_AA_Carmack I feel one underutilized principle is to make the game just hard enough that the player is dying occasionally, but not too often. Scale back difficulty silently if the player is dying repeatedly; scale it up silently if the player never dies.
