That Dragon, Cancer; Portal 2; Grim Fandango; Her Story; What Remains of Edith Finch; The Vanishing of Ethan Carter; Papers, Please

And just to make the point: the only games on this list I have played and finished are Portal 2 and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. The others, I either know of the story because people liked it so much I learned it second-hand, or the gameplay was so boring that I just quit halfway through but I put it on this list for the story anyway.

Edit: I gotta throw Paratopic in here. Played that one through twice, it's less than an hour.

That is a valid counterpoint in my opinion.
While it might imply otherwise, the message is clear about the _hardware_ being ready for self-driving. That doesn't mean the car is capable of self-driving in general.
If it is import to switch to Git, I suggest a technical leader, imbued with authority from management, make those decisions and just do it. However, I don't necessarily think a team should switch away from Subversion if it's working for them.
Why Facebook Is the Perfect Representative of Tech’s Privacy Problem
'tptacek: Thanks for linking that article. It was relatively short, but the interactivity made it feel even shorter to the point of painless (even slightly enjoyable). In addition, it also didn't take too long for my Firefox to load (I do use adblockers though). If traditional media tried to restructure their bread-and-butter long-form articles in a similar manner, we wouldn't be talking about their eventual demise as often, if at all.
Great answer, thanks for the insight. I'm really puzzled at how many people aggressively answers when someone refuses to use standard libraries (or practices).

We were in a similar situation and using our own string implementation improved performance and reduced memory fragmentation.

Some people refuses to accept that certain software cannot rely on general purpose libraries and need to roll their own solution adapted to their specific needs.
> Except that it depends on private car ownership in order to have cars to rent.

That's not at all a contradiction. If you only drive your car to work every weekday, and I only drive for out-of-town weekend trips, then services like Getaround (as well as traditional rental car companies to some extent) make it so that we don't both need to own a car.

> There are ~~absolutely~~ fantastic stories in video games.

Not really, not compared to books and movies. If you're in the mood for a good story, you would not look to games.

But it stands to reason, the medium is not well suited for it. Books and movies are excellent vehicles to tell a story. You have full and precise control over timing, pacing, what the end user is experiencing at all times, etc. Plus they've been honed for generations. Additionally, if your goal is to tell a story, you wouldn't make a game to do it (generally).

Maybe we just haven't figured it out yet with games. It's a young medium.

> There are plenty of games that you play for the story and the gameplay is just meh.

Right, but that doesn't mean it's a good story. The desire to want to know what's next is just that strong. That's why there are cliffhangers before every commercial break in a TV show. Think about how many times you've been disappointed by the result, but kept sticking around to see what happens.

Story is often just a tool in game design toolbox that is used to get players to play beyond the point they otherwise would. It works, even with bad stories.
I remember seeing some of the art work they'd developed and it looked fantastic. It would seem like one of the easier game-to-movie adaptation out there.

Yes, they're making a last-ditch effort to obtain funding from existing investors. Elizabeth Holmes may still have hope that she can somehow turn things around. Having founded a startup that burned through millions and then crashed and burned myself, I can tell you that every passionate founder sees a path to redemption no matter what the status of the company is, because they fundamentally believe in the idea behind their company. It's hard to acquiesce to market realities after pouring your soul into a venture for X years.

Unfortunately, I think Ms. Holmes has a long road ahead even after the company officially closes. Based on what I've seen there is a non-zero chance that she goes to federal prison over all of this. I think she genuinely believed that she could make it all work, but there's no room for lying to investors in this game.
And further to that, what if FB doesn't store the information itself but does store a unique hash of it? They can still do all the data processing and yet claim to have no "personal data" at all.

So I’m wondering how this law addresses this.
Good points. Nevertheless, it's still puzzling why microkernels have done so poorly, despite them being superiour in theory. Almost all the ones mentioned here have waned into a curiosity or niche, and maybe also QNX starts to get a bit long in the tooth, having been released in 1982. OS X of course is another story, but also based on 1980's ideas with the Mach kernel. Which is why it's interesting to see another open-source contender to appear from a clean slate.

If I remember right, Linus's main argument against Tanenbaum was that the overall state gets so dispersed between the various services that make up a full-fledged OS, that eventually a microkernel-based system just gets unpredictable or starts performing poorly. I think the discussion was inconclusive, although for me Linus's argument sounded intuitively convincing.
There was no definition of MOU in the article.

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) is an agreement between two (bilateral) or more (multilateral) parties. It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended common line of action. It is often used in cases where parties either do not imply a legal commitment or in situations where the parties cannot create a legally enforceable agreement. It is a more formal alternative to a gentlemen's agreement.

What percent of commercial pilots also fly with a copilot?

Additionally, I'm not a professional driver, I don't have any autopilot on my car, but I've definitely briefly fell asleep while driving late at night. What do you think rumble strips are for?

Such an extremely low number of (but extremely highly publicized) fatality is not reason enough to say autopilot is a net negative. In fact, the extreme media focus that every fatality during autopilot causes should goad improvement of autopilot safety until it's far better than human drivers.

(And let's not pretend that this autopilot error doesn't also happen with human drivers... The only reason this failure was fatal is because less than two weeks earlier, a human driver crashed into the same barrier--likely due to the same confusion--and destroyed its effectiveness since the highway department was slow to reset it.)

It's a law being proposed in the US. It's a problem here. Just out of curiosity, where are you from?

The proposed law doesn't prohibit you from sending emails. It prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who don't respond to the emails. It doesn't prohibit employees from responding to emails. It also allows your job to define when your "normal work hours" are, so if you work at 2 AM and that's when your office is open, you can expect people there and responding

It's super great that your work experience does not intrude upon your life. For many people in the US it does, and they feel like they cannot do anything except accept this intrusion. This law allows them to, like you, not touch their work emails when they're not at work.
Uncharted are some of the most cinematic games I’ve played, only topped by horizon zero dawn, but I think their storylines are just a little too flat to translate into an interesting movie. It would be like an indiana jones knockoff.

Horizon on the other hand... The opening sequences you could translate scene for scene. It would make a great movie.

But this isn't a question about no autopilot vs autopilot. This is a question about the previous version of autopilot vs the current version. If the previous version of autopilot (read: the one that didn't swerve into barriers and kill someone) was working, why did they update everyone to this new version which apparently has a life-threatening bug? Was it necessary to roll out this update so quickly? My guess is no, and that with less of a "move fast and break things" mentality, they might have tested the update more and fixed this issue before it went live.

Doom could have better. They gratuitously changed the plot, which is funny because Doom has practically zero plot at all. And they managed to change it without improving it in the slightest—for the purposes of the movie, they could have easily gone with the "opened a portal to hell" and the rest of the movie would have been the same. Their changes were really dumb and completely pointless which was really frustrating.

Also the first person part at the end was unnecessary and just wasn't good cinema (compare to Hard Core Henry which was 1st person but it worked because they really committed to it).

I totally agree. I am a massive fan of Tesla but this response is absolutely atrocious and disrespectful.

They refuse to acknowledge a bug in THEIR software which drove his car in to a concrete barrier and pin all the blame on him. Even so far as to tease him and ask why he would even use their product in that area (which Tesla allows).

It must feel so so so sad to have your loved one die and then to read this heartless BS from tesla.
So I asked you for an example of a moral hazard that is not made worse by making prostitution illegal. Your example is "Incentivizing bringing either physical, emotional, or social harm to yourself."

First off, that is an extremely broad moral hazard and one that applies to pretty much all types of employment and not just prostitution.

Secondly, making prostition legal allows an organiztion like OSHA to set (and more importantly, enforce) safe working requirements. This is precisely and example of a moral hazard that is limited/negated by legalizatin.

> I'm just annoyed by the claim that there is no discussion to be had here

I've yet to see anyone make argument for keeping prostitution that isn't either A) Factually incorrect or B) Based on christianity. I'd be happy to discuss such an arguement if you have one.

However, the real debate that we should be having is the best ways to legalize prostitution to make sure that the moral hazards are minimized.

The "Scandinavian Approach" (make buying sex illegal but don't penalize selling) is certainly better than what we have in the US as it makes the justice system available to prostitutes who no longer face jail time for reporting crime committed against them. However helping buyers not get caught is a selling point for sellers, so it still drives the activity into hiding. Hidden activity is harder to regulate and increases the probability that violence can be committed against the sellers.
After watching a few of these hearings, you start to realize that there are very careful interpretations of otherwise common language in use here to obfuscate and avoid.

In this case, Facebook 'lets a user download all of [their data]'. Where [their data] is any input a user provided - text, photos, messages, etc. It seems that Facebook considers fingerprints, links, and any other meta-data a user creates or uploads, not the user's data, but FB's data. And that [what they call FB's data] is not available to the user.

I think the name "Autopilot" matters less than how it works. Do the raw (whatever Tesla and NTSB have access to in a lab) recordings include hand position, temperature and pressure? Or is the raw data a binary state true/false similar to the in-car UI experience?

Back to autopilot: there's a wide range of autopilots in airplanes. Single engine planes might not have them unless they're IFR equipped. There's no requirement to have one, but they are useful for reducing cockpit workload. Perhaps the most common, is just a simple hold heading autopilot where you use a knob to set a bug on the direction gyro and the autopilot holds that heading. Literally all it does is hold a heading. Not altitude, not speed, not power. And then way on the opposite end of the spectrum are autopilots certified for ILS CAT IIIc landings, and include autoland.

Not only are you doing the right thing, you are communicating the expectation from day one.

(poor) Managers generally treat you the way they do because you set the expectations.

It's like unplanned ad-hoc overtime, if you work lots of overtime to meet some arbitrary deadline you didn't set, you get a well done but the next time they set arbitrary deadline you are just expected to work overtime.

If instead you work your contracted hours and the deadline is missed you then force them to either a) deal with deadlines better or b) deal with you clearly about overtime.

I learnt that lesson painfully.

As my mum tried hammering into me and I never really got until I was a grown up - "People can only treat you the way you allow them to".
If you have to ask this questions and are not able to provide more details the latter.
