I think that's close to the mark, but not quite there. To quote Sid Meier, "A game is a series of interesting choices." It's hard to make a good game with a great plot: the better the plot, the more you restrict the player's choices. It's not impossible, but it's hard.

Plenty of games have great characters and excellent world-building. Quite a few pose interesting questions, make you face hard dilemmas and leave you pondering long after you're done playing. Several make you immerse yourself in the world and identify with the characters so much that a particular event in their plot will provoke very strong feelings.

But none of those have a plot you can take and make a good movie out of it. Hollywood could very likely pick one of these games and make a great movie based on it, but not by focusing on the plot.

For example, I would be thrilled to watch a movie based on Dragon Age or Fallout. I might like a movie based on Borderlands, perhaps. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy a movie based on The Last of Us or Uncharted or The Talos Principles. And all of those games are among my favorites precisely because I enjoyed their world, characters, themes and choices.
How does this differ from SIP/SDP?
Yeah, we manually choose games to support right now. It was a goal from the beginning to make it feel like you're immersed into your game's environment as soon as you create a team, which requires us to have metadata and assets for the given games. We do get feedback from users requesting games, and we have analytics on what people type into the game suggestions box, so we tend to pick up games that we're missing pretty quickly. I can see adding "custom" games in the future (similar to how Twitch eventually opened up to IRL-style streams), but probably not soon.

It's a bit of a tradeoff: like you mentioned, this does cause some users to leave when they see that their game isn't available. On the other hand, it does allow us to focus on building a really good experience for the games we support.

Whenever I asked, there would always be some project, deadline or fire. It was my first job out of college. I was naive and didn’t realize ‘no’ was an acceptable answer.

A big part of being allowed to take your hands off the wheel is probably "how do I detect the hands are on the wheel?". In current S/X with no interior camera the way autopilot works is you have to "yank" the wheel every now and then to prove you have your hands on. Requiring constant "yanking" wouldn't work, and there are often long stretches of roads on highways (where Autopilot is meant to work) that wouldn't require any movement of the wheel at all so they wouldn't know the difference between hands on or off unless you "yanked" it.
I've seen it before and I think it looks slick. I have one suggestion or maybe observation. Finding a team currently requires to manually apply by browsing through the list. Whenever I see a team with one member inside (and that's how many teams look loke), I don't feel like applying, because there's got to be something off about it, right? So I don't apply. And then, there's this thing where I would have to apply to several teams at once, which makes me kind of uncomfortable.

Do you have any plans for automating this process? Tinder for team finding, maybe? (:

The typical approach is to plot log(x+1) instead, which deals with the zeros as long as you know what you’re looking at. It’s nice to add some jitter too, e.g. a uniform random float number in the -0.25 to 0.25 range.
Anabolic and catabolic stress is dramatically different. Just compare the body of an olympic marathon runner vs an olympic weightlifter. The limiting factor for jogging is usually your cardiovascular system, and you stop when you feel exhausted, not when your leg muscles can't move anymore. That's why it's referred to as "cardio". In weightlifting you stress your muscles to near the point of failure, not your cardiovascular system.

I'm a little confused about what you mean by shareholder capitalism, and how that would pertain to an employer's loyalty to their employees.

Joint-stock corporations have been around for several hundred years, and limited liability has been a legal concept in American law for almost 200 years.

Employer loyalty may have gone down in the past few generations, but attributing that to shareholder capitalism seems vague and unfounded. Perhaps you mean something else?

I recently spent a lazy Sunday morning watching the Doom movie. It was a lot better than it had any right to be, in my book - I haven't played Doom 3, but by the standards of action-sci/fi-horror movies starring The Rock, it was excellent.

I also thought the WarCraft movie was very good, but there I did grow up playing the hell out of WarCraft: Orcs and Humans, and reading and re-reading the manual with the backstory covered by the movie (not to mention the lovely concept art). Bit of a shame that it didn't do quite well enough to continue the story.

Common in early car and aircraft cultures as well. Always a tension between innovation and safety.

I don't mean that as a cop-out. Rather that there's no single "right answer". We are choosing something on a spectrum of risk vs reward.

Personally, although I have no direct experience, it's starting to look like Tesla is being too risky. Yes, they're safer than human-only drivers, but the mistakes they're making are too algorithmic. They're not enough safer to call Autopilot a success.

Contrast that with Waymo, who are paranoid-ly safe. They seem to be taking the long view that building trust (and not taking any chances to lose that trust) is as important as technical achievements.

Edit: Or, at some other extreme of poor citizenship, Uber, who seem to have gone off the deep end of "Keep up appearances of having a self-driving research program even though it's a disaster internally."
So the crux here is the naming of the not-really-self-driving feature. This is not an Autopilot for cars. It "requires the driver to be alert and have hands on the wheel". That's a driving assist. Call it the world's best driving assist or whatever, but not Autopilot. (I have seen the usual reply from Tesla apologists that it's a good name because of its aircraft analogy. From a usability perspective that is just so... wrong.)

I don't get why they continue down this path. Just rename the goddamn feature into something that actually makes sense.

Tesla key people must be in some kind of Elon Musk reality distortion field.
Aviation autopilots handle flying duties in a giant expanse of open sky. It's a way, way easier job to do than navigating a highway from behind a steering wheel.

So even if the "capabilities" may be comparable between the two systems, the amount of supervision they require is not, so I don't think they should use the term. It may be "lane-keeping cruise control" isn't nearly as sexy, but it doesn't establish unrealistic expectations which get people killed.

Even if there were distinct styles, seems like it would be better to develop the ones you're not good at, than the one you're already good at. Specifically this should be biased toward, and I say this in all seriousness, the teaching style that is cheapest. Because that is going to be the default not only in school but throughout life, and wherever people are concerned about costs, which is most places. Get good at that, and you've got it made.

Yes! This launch was focused on the foundational team tools, but making it easier for players to find teams is already in the works. I think we can have an experience where all the teams you see are active high-quality teams, are tailored to you, and the process is more automated and less manual. This is something that no gaming product has gotten right yet, in my opinion.
I've been using Zipcar for many years. It used to be great. In the last couple of years their service has really declined (probably since the Avis acquisition). In the last year I had so many issues. Once the car wasn't present and no on knew where the car is. They wanted to relocate me to a car two towns away. Another time the car was broken and they didn't bother doing anything about it. Cars are often dirty with pets hair. And they are really cheap about refunds, you need to call and argue with them.
I now use Zipcar only when I have to. Will probably not renew my annal membership when it expires.
Even taking that into account, the non-US salaries are still 50% lower.
> will accept "0000-00-00 00:00:00"

Isn't it? I thought that today()-(2018 years, 4 months and 10 days) would be approximately that date? Maybe you prefer +0000 vs just 0000?

'ISO 8601 prescribes, as a minimum, a four-digit year [YYYY] to avoid the year 2000 problem. It therefore represents years from 0000 to 9999, year 0000 being equal to 1 BC and all others AD. However, years prior to 1583 are not automatically allowed by the standard. Instead "values in the range [0000] through [1582] shall only be used by mutual agreement of the partners in information interchange."

To represent years before 0000 or after 9999, the standard also permits the expansion of the year representation but only by prior agreement between the sender and the receiver.[19] An expanded year representation [±YYYYY] must have an agreed-upon number of extra year digits beyond the four-digit minimum, and it must be prefixed with a + or − sign[20] instead of the more common AD/BC (or CE/BCE) notation; by convention 1 BC is labelled +0000, 2 BC is labeled −0001, and so on.'

Now, if mysql accept, but can't store such a date, I understand that it's a problem.

Conversely, I retain almost nothing I get from books. But if you can explain something so I actually understand it, I don't even need to revise come exam time. If I understand it, or at least well enough to reconstruct a complete understanding on the fly, then I'll ace the exam. If you expect me to try and learn it from a book, I'll still do okay, but it'll take me 10 times longer to learn it.
What a stark difference in tone this kind of statement would have made. Tesla's statement reeks of a desire to protect themselves from liability or a potential lawsuit. It's very sad to see them adopting such language in the face of such a tragedy.

The quote "Dozens of characters, hundreds of locations, a plot spanning 40 hours" (and the much larger numbers for some modern games) by itself is a fundamental reason those stories are hard to adopt to the silver screen.

A movie needs a couple hours of focused plot, and a limited number of in-depth characters whose motivations can reasonably be covered in this short time. A blockbuster game generally involves a much larger cast of characters, and a much, much longer/wider plot story to cover the hours.

If you leave the story as-is and just cut the "sidequests", then the movie will be full of characters who are barely introduced and whose motivations make no sense to those who haven't played the game and don't know the backstory; and if you cut the story to be "movie-sized", then it will have little resemblance to the original, as key points will need to be drastically altered.
Autopilot is the correct term here – seems like most folks unfortunately don't know what it actually means. So I wouldn't disagree with you.
> Just compare the body of an olympic marathon runner vs an olympic weightlifter

Is this a useful comparison? Olympic marathoners are small people who are extremely weight conscious. Olympic weightlifters are also very aware of their weights as they compete in weight classes.

> The limiting factor for jogging is usually your cardiovascular system, and you stop when you feel exhausted, not when your leg muscles can't move anymore.

No offense but this is just telling me you're guessing and don't know much about distance running or jogging. Most average people who run for exercise stop because they've finished their workout not from exhaustion.
Open Container Initiative nails down container image distribution standard
I agree that this statement seems cold, and blames the driver, but from a legal perspective, can it be anything else?

They can't admit anything or publically take any responsibility, because it could be used against them in the court case right?

Even in their statement they don't say "Autopilot is not perfect" they say "According to the family, Mr. Huang was well aware that Autopilot was not perfect".

The only thing the actually admit in the statement is that "Tesla is extremely clear that Autopilot requires the driver to be alert and have hands on the wheel".

It's cold and heartless, but anything else opens them up to liability right?

Exactly. Agreed.
It’s not just game studios who rewrote the standard library. I’ve seen non game companies with their own containers too. For those cases, it’s always just very old legacy code that nobody wants to touch, but if they were to do it again fresh today, they’d just use what comes with the language.

For places that have their own legacy containers and actively try to move more code to them—I dunno! I think at some point back in the 90’s the standard library got the reputation of being junk (perhaps rightfully) among game programmers, and this belief has been cargo culted all the way into 201x. Who knows.
That whole distinction between "IT" and "the business" makes me nuts. No one refers to marketing, sales, finance, production, etc., a thing separate from "the business" yet IT is just as fundamental to many businesses as any other function. Hearing IT people do it is worse.

GM's recent TV advertisement shows the driver engaging their version of autopilot and crossing his hands...I was like woah! That would never make it through legal if they weren't very very confident about their tech. Contrast that image with Tesla's demand that drivers keep their hands on the wheel and it seems that GM is miles ahead of everyone on autopilot.
> a proper Metal Gear film

They're working on that (Jordan Vogt-Roberts, guy who did Kong: Skull Island). I have no idea how you could possibly turn Metal Gear into a movie that is appealing to people who haven't played the games, but he seems to be a huge fan of the series, and has claimed to have "cracked the code" about how to make an appealing movie based on a video game, in the same way that Hollywood has cracked the code for making comic book movies. He's also working with Hideo Kojima. I'm cautiously optimistic.
To reenable autopilot you not only need to restart the car, but also go back into the car settings and turn it on again.

When you do this it presents you with a window that outlines your liability that you must accept. It looks like this:
