@AdamRackis @gortok I would be deeply ashamed of working at a broken company like Riot. I guess you are not. That’s a choice for you to make. Have a nice life!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AdamRackis @gortok Adam, you work at Riot games which hates women. Maybe dig yourself out from the 6 layers of glass houses you live in before commenting. Why would you choose to work at this disaster of a company? https://t.co/hwUQ7ZKknR

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AdamRackis @gortok That’s also not the case.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AdamRackis @gortok This is not how I would have done it.

@bootrino @chriscoyier @davatron5000 depends. is it racism, sexism, bigotry, or otherwise causing active harm? And who decides what is active harm, or what is a moral issue?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chriscoyier @davatron5000 Is it, though, when everything is now a moral issue? 🤔

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke oh my godd all the time

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I still am not smart enough to understand what that means, apparently

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mroach maybe you don't realize that faster devices have better battery life. They get to idle quicker where the maximum power savings are. Now, if you run something that loads the CPU real hard for many hours, it is a different story, but most don't. TANSTAAFL

@Carnage4Life @OlumideSamuel_ @Abiola_Usman It has all the implied limitations of sentiment analysis but is so so SO much better than the absolutely nothing they did since 2007

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life @OlumideSamuel_ @Abiola_Usman You can but they do sentiment analysis and suppress bad things heavily

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OlumideSamuel_ @Carnage4Life @Abiola_Usman Yes, BUT ... not designing for evil and having tools to deal sanely with bad actors means things will degrade for everyone. It seems insane that in the not too distant past you could create a new Twitter account and post horrible public cruel replies on anyone’s timeline.

@Pinboard @nytdavidbrooks I love this joke

@codinghorror
@wilshipley it is what it is!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley well, SO is like wikipedia. Take it up in the talk pages. People disagree sometimes.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley well yeah, you're the owner of your answer and thus biased in evaluating it. Rather than copying and pasting over and over why not flag to close the questions as duplicate?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I mean really think this through. What if *everyone* went out of their way to copy and paste the same duplicated answer on every question that it could potentially apply to? You really don’t get how that could be a problem?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Jagger_pl I needed to amend that. What I meant was fuck Russian *interference*

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gnumoksha @fux0r Apple SoCs are legit crazy fast. Qualcomm horsecrap tries to get away with “but lots of slow cores is just as good” .. but it isn’t.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley Direct copy and paste though? Will be frowned upon.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley Posting identical replies will be seen as reputation mining though.

@kennygoers See, everyone *needs* a Porsche 😉

@kennygoers well if we reduce our standards enough everything is good, isn’t it? Like a delicious meal of saltine crackers...

@trueparallels You really could leave it on all the time if you want to prioritize battery life!

With low power mode on. Basically the iPhone is significantly faster than every Android device, even with the proverbial one hand tied behind its back. https://t.co/A3iQhRStMg

@almaximal Definitely did not fix it for me across multiple iPhones and multiple PCs

I decided to use @authy this time to manage the 2FA codes, so this becomes less painful when I change phones. You *could* also save screenshots of all the 2FA setup QR codes, if you prefer a simpler method

I tried multiple Windows machines and could not get it to work. Finally I plugged it into the Chromebook, and it's copying everything (to Google Drive) fine now. I think file copying from iPhone to Windows 10 is totally broken at the moment.

@coldwired massively, by like 2 or more orders of magnitude. Look it up!

seriously I think airlines keep this factoid on the down low because it's a LOT of exposure. Like.. a lot a lot.

@stevesi I recently got the Asus C434 (wirecutter's rec for chromebook @ $556) and I am shocked at how good & polished the overall experience is.

Delete and rewrite for clarity, on the airplane we measured 5 μSv/h over 10 plus hours of the flight to put that number in context

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AdamBielinski Yes it is the weird u Sv

@Senftl Yeah the card is for whole visit exposure

@thompenn there is a linux beta option that gives you full terminal, it was installed on mine, I just clicked to make it so

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout I mean it is no iPad Pro perf wise (150+) but that is an unrealistic expectation, Apple is basically lapping everyone on perf at this point, it is kind of comical

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout I just look at speedometer 2.0 scores, as I recall it scores around ~80 which is quite good for a 4-5w device (10+ hour observed battery life, in active use)

can't say enough nice things about the ASUS Chromebook Flip C434 and ChromeOS. It is so much better than I expected. It's almost.. insanely great? https://t.co/wwBy4lkMe3

@Ganapathi004 @MarcusBiel I *think* it is?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
"a superheated, vacuum-isolated graphite core with natural uranium fuel allowed for massive power generation at *only a quarter of the expense of heavy water reactors*, which were more maintenance-intensive and required large volumes of expensive heavy water for startup"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I do not get those who say it was "anti-nuclear" if anything it was "anti-RBMK reactor", which is kind of a valid complaint IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@m_brady Matt Brady, you complete me ❤️

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aleattorium It is sooo much better than I expected. I did buy the fancier $500 one wire cutter recommends and it’s quite nice

@benjymous has anyone seriously benchmarked x86 chromebooks when running android apps? I can't find much

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@laurence I have no idea, that's why I was asking!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I also don't really understand what kind of perf / battery penalty there is for running Android ARM apps on an x86 chromebook?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I am struggling to understand the niche that Android apps occupy on Chromebooks. One that I have identified is media playback, such as h.265 files?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AngeZanetti I tweeted the specifics a day or so ago, browse my tweet stream

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fredricmitchell I do yes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AngeZanetti I did, I just force uninstalled some app bundles via USB developer tether

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@demisbellot I still think the $383 (I just checked on Amazon) price point is *very* competitive against $599. Also remember you need A12 or A13 for all the hardware mitigations if you're buying security.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dfnkt it is GSM yeah. CDMA is an only-US thing apparently?
