The disc only has a 75 MB game license—the actual game is not even on the disc! That means I could not play the game at all, even if I bought a disc. This is a scam, and Activision should be ashamed of it! I hope someone takes action on this!

Then I had to install two campaign packs of ~20GB each. That’s 121+30+20+20. That is around 191 GB of download needed just to start the game even when I had the disc in the first place.

I put in the disc, and instantly, a 121 GB install was queued. I buckled up and completed the installation, which did not include the campaign. I had to go to the store and install a 30GB DMZ for the game, which gave me the option to see the campaign.

I bought the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 months ago because I loved the campaign of the original game so much. I bought the PS5 disc version and this is the worst experience I’ve ever had with a game. 🧵

Love it!

Landlines, OMG!. Back in the day, we used to memorize the sound of each number. If we wanted to talk late at night, we would first hit redial, write down the number from sounds, and then call our friends. After the call, we would dial in the number so redial was set back to what it was. 😉

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

I only know this one since I experienced it myself. The good thing about these interviews is that you can learn even if you do not pass them!

The only problem here is if someone struggles, it might be because their current day job is hard. In that case you might lose some worthy candidates who just couldn’t find enough time to focus on such a challenge.

If an already employed candidate can solve this task in time, you don't have to worry about them being overemployed. If the candidate is not currently employed, they should cruise through such a challenge.

It is not the best solution, but consider something similar to what Teleport does: github.com/gravitationa....
The candidate is added to their Slack with their engineers and solves the task.

It is astonishing that Apple’s hoopla around AI (Apple Intelligence 🙄), and they did not add a summary feature to Apple News. That’s such a low-hanging fruit that literally every news app is doing.

GCP needs to do a better job of posting status updates on incidents status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow...

Playing Assassin’s Creed Ezio Saga after shadows makes you realize how standards have fallen. The graphics and the world have become impressive but the story, voice acting, music and mission types have all become stupidly monotonous.

I’m at that age where my mind firmly believes I’m 29, my humor suggests I’m 12, and my body died in the Civil War.

The English voice acting in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is horrible. I highly recommend playing it in Japanese.

Me to my boss: so yeah, basically, it’s non-performant not because I’m bad at coding, but because I’m trying to save the world

OMG! 🙇

This was my happy place.

Delta dropping its partnership with Lyft and then replacing it with Uber is not good for me and many others who hear from drivers that Lyft treats them better than Uber. That's not cool, @Delta.

I’m really enjoying it! While there are still some enhancements being made, my overall experience has been quite positive. It’s exciting to see how it’s evolving!

Playing around with ghostty at the moment ghostty.org. Otherwise iterm2.

What a great interview! @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com and @mipsytipsy.bsky.social discuss observability issues that even I have encountered, and they break them down very clearly like cost, complexity and pitfalls. I highly recommend watching this to the end.

So if someone is on a work visa like an H1b, they will not be in the United States jurisdiction but still have to follow all United States laws and pay the appropriate taxes?
This is just ridiculous.

Out of all social media platform feeds, LinkedIn’s feed has to be the shittiest.

I find listening to this relaxing.
