For UPI transactions that stay stuck in processing state for a long time and eventually move to success, @navifinance provides no way of raising a dispute. Shouldn't all TPAPs have a mechanism for addressing disputes? @NPCI_NPCI

I had the opportunity to ask some hard questions of @sama at TED. The audience was riveted by what he had to say. If you care about the future of AI, this one is worth watching. https://t.co/9UHuw1VuCc

@flipkartsupport Have shared the order ID over DM.
But would want to hear from you, how can customers go about helping fix issues of incorrect product listings.
The logical solution seemed to be posting a review, but the review is not being posted by Flipkart, due to unknown reasons.

[Sandeep ☀️ @SunSpicedLatte]

@Flipkart @flipkartsupport purchased the following product from your website https://t.co/AfFbF7JwUE but the delivered item didn't match the specifications listed on the product page.
Tried replacing but faced the exact issue again.

[Sandeep ☀️ @SunSpicedLatte]

Tried posting a review with images but the website says my review is "saved" even though it doesn't show up on the product page.
How can I ensure that the product listing gets fixed and other consumers don't receive incorrect products?

[Naughty Dog @Naughty_Dog]

You can’t stop this.

#TheLastOfUs returns with Season 2, April 13 on @HBO and @StreamOnMax.

The amendment to Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act through Section 44 of the DPDP Act shields the government from scrutiny by restricting access to information, weakening anti-corruption efforts and exposing RTI activists, journalists, and citizens to severe penalties. Sign this petition to demand its withdrawal.

Be careful what VS Code theme you install. The Material Theme drama is insane, and I got a bit deeper than I probably should have. New vid up now

After working as an SWE for 10 years, I learned that irreplaceable engineers do exist.

What I also learned is that companies are perfectly fine letting irreplaceable engineers go.

We released gta San Andreas 20 years ago. October 26, 2004.

Game releases were different back then.

It took 6 weeks for the DVDs to be produced, boxed and distributed. Patches over the internet were not yet a thing.
For us, all of the stress had happened at the cut-off point, 6 weeks prior. No big issues had come up.

Most devs had taken a holiday and we were already thinking about our next project.

Digital distribution didn’t exist yet. Games were typically released on a Tuesday/Wednesday in the US and Fridays in the UK. Same for SA.

The internet was crap and apart from a couple of trailers, gamers didn’t know too much about the game.

For big games, stores would open at Midnight before release day so that pre-orders could be picked up.
I only later found out, the publisher has to pay the stores to make these late openings happen.

I went to the biggest store near the R*North offices, which was HMV on Princess Street, Edinburgh. Even though it was a drizzly night, the line meandered all through the store and spilled out onto the street.

It was mind-blowing to see all those people so excited, going home to play the game all through the night.

20 years ago we released Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas.

The original plan was for the 3 cities to be on separate maps. The player would travel between the cities using trains and planes.
(Gta 1 and 2 also had three cities on separate maps)

Memory was very tight on the ps2 and with separate maps, the other cities’ skyline models wouldn’t have to be in memory.

It would also make it easier to have different police/ambulance/firetrucks for each city. Different pickups, weather types etc.

It would also be easier to contain the player until it was time for the next city.

It would also make it easier to organize the models on the DVD city-by-city which would help the streaming.

Just before the artists started working on the three maps, we had a final meeting at R* North in which we changed our minds and decided to go for a big map after all.

We still ended up doing city-specific pickups, police cars and weather.

Happy birthday San Andreas. You turned out all right.
