I have a question of morality .. we are devs so it may start becoming more important then ever..
If to save the world... Would you do something that would first effect millions or 10 of millions of lives negatively, possibly quite seriously so, as in death or starvation etc
Similar to the do you pull the switch and kill one man or do you let the train kill 5 but on a world scale I suppose.14 -
Common question I hear at work a lot. These self driving cars, picture the situation. It's driving 100mph+ going straight towards a pack of children(could be anyone but this sounds a bit more terrifying). The car can only turn into a brick wall, killing the driver and passengers, OR straight into the children.
What do you program it to do in these situations???6 -
Who do you think is the coolest super hero?
Putting aside technical topics and thinking about hobbies and cinematography, who do you think could be the most popular superhero? I had this dispute with classmates because I collect all the information about Spiderman. I described the biographies of the actors of the films, using various data on the network like https://writingbros.com/essay-examp... I collected information about the character characteristics and reviews on movies. I wanted to write my essay about Spiderman, but none of my classmates supported me. According to the general opinion, he cannot be popular and attract attention.
Maybe he doesn't have the traits of the Hulk or the Powers of the X-Men. But, a super hero is an ordinary person who goes to an ordinary job and leads a seemingly ordinary life.
I thought it was characteristics like these that should attract people.
Who do you think might be one of the most popular superheroes of our time. Of course, it is impossible to single out one leader. But maybe you can form the top 3.9 -

I like to hold myself off of gaming content that I don't want to spoil myself with. The Last Of Us Part I, God of War 2018, God of War Ragnarok are few of the games I deliberately didn't watch any gameplay videos of, just because I knew that these games are bangers and I should have first hand experience myself.
I'm still waiting for GoW: Ragnarok to come to PC so I can enjoy it like a first time player.
But what I didn't do, is to hold myself to Marvel Spiderman 2's gameplay spoilers. I have watched almost all gameplay videos and I now know how the game ends. And I am disappointed with what the game turned out to be. It's just punching bad guys, swinging around here and there and a story goes on in the back as cinematics.
This is a testament of how marketing can affect the hype of a game. They dropped so many abstract trailers that it kept the suspense, a bit too much. The game didn't deliver on the hype imo.
Now that I have spoiled myself, I understand that it's just another Spiderman game, like Spiderman 2018 and Spiderman: Miles Morales. And as a result, my chest now feels empty.
