Russell Glasser 💙

Powerful AI

@edwardcurrent That's how you know he's a very stable genius. He can ace those cognitive tests like nobody's business.

Frankly I'm impressed that he barely repeats any of the numbers "92-6" "88-11" "90-10" "80-20" "92-7" "86%" "77%" "60%" "72%" "71%" "89%"

@fumanstan Sorry to hear it. :(

After surviving a handful of these, they finally caught me. Laid off today 😢

@Hasen_Judi The replies here are insane. Imagine you hired one of these people and asked them to write a feature, and they committed some broken code that didn't work. You say "Why didn't you do the task?" and they say "You feel into my trap, idiot, there's lots of valid ways to code."

Back in 2015 I was the interviewer side in for a programmer position. Many people could talk the talk, some of them had "impressive" looking resume. Most of them could not answer this simple question: Given an array with numbers and nulls, split it to multiple arrays, with null as the separator. I think it's a very basic question, and I think anyone who could not even begin to formulate an answer doesn't know how to program. I understand it's not always easy to program under pressure, so I would always ask the candidate first to just describe in words what the process is generally like. Most candidates just had a stunned look on their face and they would try to mumble some non-sense.

@LilithEmmy @lynneaglasser I read some discussion later arguing that this boss (Orphan of Kos) might be the hardest boss in all the Souls games.

@lynneaglasser @RussellGlasser Go Russell!

Took a break from playing Bloodborne to watch @russellglasser play Bloodborne instead. I could tell he was about to beat the last DLC boss, so I managed to sneak this pic without distracting him. Go, Russell!!

@day9tv I recently got promoted to Senior II Engineer for the battlenet shop site, and my performance review last year was full of quotes from people saying I'm great to work with. BTW while I'm here I just want to say my wife and I are loving your playthrough of Golden Idol, so fun!

Brag to me. Share with me something you're REALLY proud that you accomplished/did/achieved. Have no shame! You're AWESOME and I'd love to hear about it.

*to the tune of We Didn't Start the Fire*

@tauriqmoosa They are SO much worse than regular TV ads. On TV you can be sure that the ads will last a few minutes at most and then the show continues. If you're not paying attention, YouTube will load a 20 minute ad which will continue until you notice and hit Skip.

youtube ads will lead to my death - so obnoxious, horrible and irritating.

@edwardcurrent Since the number of people on earth is a specific integer, those numbers functionally add to 100%. Maybe he is saying that no people are dumb, except for like one atom. Or I dunno, maybe he doesn't understand how math works.

Why are all believer–zealots the same one shithead, but in different bodies?

@MarcosBL I'll get back to you after I finish listening to this podcast on YouTube Music, which previously replaced Google Music, and now also replaced Google Podcasts, and which does a much worse job playing podcasts, music, and YouTube videos.

Every. Single. New. Google. Product.

@DanielWhiteson I'm so sorry.

I was just laid off as the Narrative Designer at DC Universe Online. It was a great run, including what was probably Kevin Conroy's last performance and a current episode-in-progress that I hope still lands well! Leads, support, or cat pics are all appreciated right now. Thanks!

@CrookedMedia @jonfavs I heard you use the word "Enshittification" on the Offline podcast this week. This is one of my favorite topics, so I was wondering if you've ever reached out to word coiner Cory @doctorow as a guest?

As far as I know, I still have a job at Blizzard right now. But it's been a pretty rough day, a lot of people I worked with were suddenly gone and nobody understands the real reason yet.

@lynneaglasser It was so great!

Perfect turkey WIP: break it down beforehand, dry brine overnight, and don't skimp on the seasoning!

Without telling your age, what was the first video game you remember ever playing?

@alexsteed As I recall, removing your shoes and socks on a commercial airline is worth a lot of Bad Place points.
