The open-world science fiction game is the first new IP made by Bethesda in 25 years, the company best known for developing the fantasy Elder Scrolls and post-apocalyptic Fallout series. Since its announcement during E3 2018 fans have been following the game's development closely. As the release date inches closer and closer, more and more people find themselves riveted by the promise the game holds, counting down the days until liftoff as their anticipation grows. The launch of Bethesda’s biggest title to date, Starfield, is just on the horizon. , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUobbpHERh8&embedable=true GAMEPLAY Starfield is an open-world action role-playing game. Like many of Bethesda’s previous titles, players can play the game in first and third-person view and switch perspectives at any point during gameplay. The game takes place in a large area of the Milky Way galaxy, with over 1000 fictional and non-fictional planets and an unspecified number of moons and space stations for players to land on and explore. Procedural Generation in Starfield This has been one of the biggest selling points of the game. In interviews and showcases, developers explained how Starfield uses to ensure exploration never grows stale. Planets will be made with various terrain chunks, all created by the Starfield art team, which are stitched together to create believable landscapes. Various factors, such as planet temperature, will determine what resources the player can gather and exploit and what kind of flora and fauna the environment can feature if it can sustain extraterrestrial life. As players explore the planet, the game will actively place points of interest in their vicinity, such as encounters, dungeons, and small settlements. This means that even if two players were to land on the same planet, they would likely have different experiences. procedural generation and hand-crafted content Even with many parts of the game being procedurally generated, there is still a lot of hand-crafted content to experience. Todd Howard boasts that Starfield features more hand-crafted content than any Bethesda game. One location the developers are proud of is the city of New Atlantis, the largest city in the game and the largest fictional city Bethesda has ever developed. From what’s been gathered so far, these are the game elements that will be procedurally generated and hand-crafted: Star system layout/location: Pre-determined (hand-crafted) Planet/moon orbits and locations: Pre-determined (hand-crafted) Planet/moon surfaces: Procedurally generated Space stations: Hand-crafted Large cities: Hand-crafted Small settlements/structures: Procedurally generated Dungeons: Procedurally generated World events: Randomized Character Customization Another aspect of the game players are looking forward to is the customization available to them. At the beginning of the game, players will customize their character’s body type and appearance using an expansive yet simple-to-use character generation system. Players will also be able to choose their character's background, which will determine their starting stats. A player’s character could have been a bounty hunter, diplomat, explorer, or chef. In addition to getting access to certain basic skills, early gameplay has revealed that backgrounds can present special dialogue options in certain situations. One example shown in the Starfield Direct - Gameplay Deep Dive video was when the player was speaking with an NPC in a fancy restaurant when they found out that he needs help tracking down a monster. Since the player had a background as a beast hunter, they could ask twice the usual rate. https://youtu.be/uMOPoAq5vIA?si=n90H9Zr-Q6AUK0rH&embedable=true In addition, players can pick optional traits that can help them but often come with a small hindrance. For example, the Wanted trait will give players a damage buff when their health is low, but there is always a random chance that mercenaries will show up and attack the player. Developers have said there will be ways to change or eliminate traits later but haven’t elaborated yet. Ship Customization Another side of customization that players can look forward to is in . Players can spend their hard-earned credits at starports to buy new ships. From there, they will be allowed to upgrade individual systems or modify physical aspects of the ship. Starfield’s shipbuilder mode uses a module-based construction system where parts snap onto the ship like Legos. The shipbuilder mode is less of a realistic simulation compared to games like and allows players more freedom to build their dream ship. Bethesda has already teased the creative potential of the shipbuilder mode by showcasing ships that look like animals and even a ship that resembles a giant, bulky robot. modifying their starship Kerbal Space Program The Starfield Direct video also showcased the game’s new animation system, improved combat and persuasion mechanics, a brief look at the skills players can level up, and more. Modding Bethesda has also announced that Starfield will have full mod support, allowing players to create and add mods to alter or overhaul parts of the game. This has been a huge element in previous Bethesda titles, such as Skyrim or Fallout 4, where creative members of the modding community have created mods that added new creatures, altered game mechanics to provide a more challenging experience, and even added with fully voiced characters. massive original quests EARLY IMPRESSIONS While millions of players wait to play the game, a handful have received review copies to play a couple of weeks before everyone else. These people include well-known game review companies and social media influencers. Naturally, all of these people are under a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement. However, this hasn’t stopped people from expressing their early impressions of Bethesda’s latest title. Those who have played previous releases from Bethesda Game Studios, especially their sizeable open-world titles like Skyrim or Fallout 4, know that their games tend to have a sizeable number of bugs and glitches during the first few weeks after release. Fans will be pleased to hear that very few bugs have been encountered. Gaming journalist reports that he had not encountered a single bug during his first 15 hours in the game. These reports confirm , claiming that Starfield would have the fewest bugs any Bethesda game has shipped with. Tyler McVicker the statement by Microsoft Game Studios executive Matt Booty Other sources report a smooth gameplay experience and RPG mechanics deeper than those in previous Bethesda titles. Overall, all the hard work the developers put in is shining through, and Starfield is shaping up to be a fantastic release. RELEASE SCHEDULE, PRE-LOADS, AND PC REQUIREMENTS Starfield is available for preload across Xbox Series X/S, and PC on Steam. In addition, players who pre-ordered the game's premium edition will be able to play five days earlier than anyone else. Players should ensure their hard drive is up to the task, however, as the download for the PC version is a whopping 139.84GB, while the Xbox is 100.19GB for the standard edition. There is also the game's premium edition on Xbox, which is 117.07 GB for the Premium Edition, including The Shattered Space Story Expansion (to be released) and other bonus items, including the official soundtrack and digital artbook. PC players should also ensure that their systems can meet the demands of Starfield. The game files are highly recommended to be downloaded onto a Solid State Drive (SSD) for the best performance. The minimum requirements for Starfield are as follows: Operating System: Windows 10 version 22H2 (10.0.19045) Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel Core i7-6800K Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5700, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti Direct X: Version 12 Network: Broadband Internet connection Storage: 125 GB Available Space Additional Notes: SSD Required If players want to get the most out of Starfield, Bethesda recommends the following components: Operating System: Windows 10/11 with updates Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, Intel i5-10600K Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Direct X: Version 12 Network: Broadband Internet connection Storage: 125 GB Available Space Additional Notes: SSD Required After ensuring their systems are up to par, and the game files are downloaded, the only thing left is waiting for the Starfield launch. Bethesda Game Studios has released a map showing the global release times for early access preorders and standard edition owners (seen below). Old Bethesda RPG fans and science fiction nerds are watching with bated breath as the release date inches closer. People who preordered are preloading the game files onto their systems in preparation for the launch. Others are waiting for official word from various reviewers for a detailed look at the game, waiting to see if this ambitious project lives up to the astronomical levels of hype built over the years. But until then, all we can do is watch the countdown. ** This story was written by , as part of the . Alex Johnson HackerNoon Blogging Fellowship

Weighted Shortest Job First Greeting to all who wish to learn how to effectively build a multitasking backlog. My name is Fedor Gvozdev, I am the founder of HolySkin Korean cosmetics online store. I have been working on this project for 8 years and have repeatedly faced difficulties with prioritisation. In this article, I will try to share my experience and present the best models that have helped us out more than once. Introduction In the process of planning there always comes a time when a new strategy or . Many managers face chaotic proposals and opinions that result in unclear goals, loss of motivation and abandonment of important features. reprioritization is required A logical question arises - «How to prioritise the work of a team effectively?» Effective organisation is the key to success of any project, but how to build it in a competent way, excluding endless calls, disputes and presentations? Backlog work is not as easy as it might seem. In order to achieve real results at minimal cost it is worth . There are several mechanisms to do so. They provide an opportunity to avoid verbal skirmishes and resort to quantitative assessments, matrices and charts that will give the team a productive action algorithm. resorting to prioritising In this article, we will look into the most popular task prioritisation models and find out why it is important to use them. ICE is a fast method of prioritisation This model is one of the easiest tools for goal and objective implementation. If this is your first time using these techniques, this is a great place to start. The first use of ICE is associated with growth hacking, which is a methodology based on the rapid assimilation of any skills. Most recently this method has become popular in prioritising management. Let's consider the meaning of the abbreviation: is a marker that indicates whether the introduction of an initiative or technology will bring economic growth or an increase in another key indicator against which the tasks are evaluated. Impact is an indicator which shows сonviction in the success of the execution. It is often based on the two remaining criteria. Confidence is an indicator which assesses the labour and resource intensity of the project. Ease Evaluation process The mechanism uses for each indicator, then by multiplying the values of the three components, the final ICE Score is obtained. All the features are ranked by importance. a scale from 1 to 10 It is very important to coincide the applied scale and your understanding of the position of each indicator. This way the team will have a full understanding of the ranking. Evaluation example Collect a list of tasks, and evaluate them on a 10-point scale. Start with the first indicator - impact. Pros: It is easy to understand the algorithm; High speed of decision making. Cons: Subjectivity. This model lacks objective assessment and calculation. Relativity of the results can cause loss of an important task or its removal from a higher position. RICE The system for evaluating each of the features according to four indicators included in the acronym. The results of this technique are more versatile, and can be used for backlogs where structuring needs more attention. The components of RICE and ICE are quite similar. Nevertheless, they differ in the level of objectivity and in the assessment process. Let me explain each indicator: shows the number of people affected by the feature or its implementation. Reach indicates the benefit from the implemented feature to the final product or the entire project. Impact is an indicator which shows сonviction in the success of the execution. In the RICE model it is measured as a percentage and allows you to correct the situation when there is no concrete evidence of the impact. Confidence characterises the labour costs. It is expressed in the number of people involved in implementation of one project every month. Effort : if the project consists of several stages - planning (1 person) - 1 week, design (1 person) - 2 weeks, development (1 person) - 3 weeks, then in total we get 3 team members for 6 weeks of work. In this situation effort equals two. Just to clarify Evaluation process Further calculations are reduced to the use of one formula. Evaluation example Evaluate each factor according to the method described above, and calculate the total number of points according to the formula. Results have a wide margin, that is why the choice is obvious. The team agreed with the outcome. Due to a large number of clarifying criteria we were confident in this prioritisation. Pros: Quantification of the indicators reduces the level of prioritisation subjectivity. Cons: The results may need to be reassessed. The results of the RICE model cannot be considered final, since it still remains a more systematized model of the team's confidence in a particular feature. The model can be considered effective in medium complexity backlog circumstances, but it is important to understand that prioritisation can also be refined. WSJF – Weighted Shortest Job First The most versatile and efficient prioritisation model. It considers the optimal number of criteria, which allows you to rationally structure your work. The name of the model is an abbreviation of the phrase "Weighted Shortest Job First», which basically means that This is the main idea of the model. By the means of this model you can obtain a list in which tasks will be ranked by assessing implementation complexity and effectiveness for your project. the most important and simple tasks are paramount. Calculations in this model are reduced to one simple formula. The complex part is  hidden in the numerator, since the cost of delay is the sum of three evaluation criteria. It is this component that makes WSJF really effective. Let's consider all the components of the model: (= User-Business Value + Time Criticality + Risk Reduction or Opportunity Enablement) is the technical complexity of work implementation, which includes: Cost of delay is a criterion which evaluates how useful the idea or task will be for your business; User-Business Value (temporary or not) shows how important it is to do the task quickly; Time Criticality . While evaluating this parameter, you need to answer the question: “what risks can we protect ourselves from?’’; Risk Reduction shows the number of potential opportunities. Opportunity Enablement (needed resources) a criterion which includes labour resources, terms of work, costs of freelance work. Job size Evaluation process For effective evaluation of features according to WSJF, StoryPoints or ScrumPoints are often used. These indicators show the laboriousness or complexity of backlog tasks. They are based on the Fibonacci number series, which is a numerical sequence where the first number is 1, and the subsequent ones are equal to the sum of the previous two. The numbers increase non-linearly, making the difference between tasks with 1 and 5 StoryPoints more obvious, which makes selection easier. Since the method organises the entire backlog at once, the evaluation process differs from previous prioritisation models. It comes down to creating a matrix with final scores. Because of the matrix the filling sequence is strict: Evaluation should be implemented sequentially , starting with the most insignificant, which is assigned as 1. Each column must contain . by one column at least one 1 Subsequently, the list of tasks should be ranked based on the obtained results, where the highest WSJF score means the corresponding implementation priority. Evaluation example As an example, let's take a backlog with three features from our online store. The task is to evaluate each function by the three Cost of delay criteria. Let me remind you that the assessment is made according to the Fibonacci series. The Job size is considered as human resource costs. This algorithm was already discussed earlier. After the assessment we get following table: In the WSJF model, the highest score is given to a priority task, which is most efficient in terms of time and resources. In my opinion, this mechanism has an exhaustive number of tools and therefore is most suitable for prioritising any backlog. It deals with both easy and tricky prioritisation tasks. At the moment WSJF is the favourite of our team. Pros: one-time prioritisation of the entire backlog; effective rating scale; important and relevant criteria. Cons: the possibility of intuitive results if the communication between business and performers is poor. The WSJF model works successfully and efficiently in most cases. It is suitable for organising both multitasking and primitive backlogs. Conclusion Prioritising is a complex and lengthy process. The framework in this case is an excellent assistant, but it still needs to be controlled by the manager. Even though mechanisms such as RICE, ICE, WSJF do not always exhaust the work on ranking priorities, they are still effective and can change the vector of work quite a lot. These changes can save you a lot of money and rid you of useless tasks. RICE and ICE are great options for weekly team meetings. They help clarify the task and motivate the team quickly. WSJF is a more complex tool for multi-tasking backlogs, its effectiveness has been confirmed more than once in my personal experience. The model can be used for projects where possible losses may be too high. Reasons for using prioritisation models in your work: The whole team is involved in the decision-making; Saves you a lot of time; Rids you of endless calls, presentations and meetings; Effective formation of goals by the Smart model. The choice of a prioritisation model is based on the complexity of the backlog and the goals of the manager. It is always worth trying several mechanisms, then by personal experience you will be able to choose the most effective and accessible model. Wish you successful projects!

So let’s start! Tell us a bit about yourself. For example, name, profession, and personal interests. I’m Frank, a tech writer at . Cloudbeds is a hospitality XaaS platform that was born about a decade ago. A small group of travel addicts in Brazil said “hey, let’s build something to help our coolest, favoritest, indiest hotels stay in business.” Now Cloudbeds is worldwide. Our platform can run any size of lodging business, anywhere. Hospitality tech is hot hot hot right now. >>> print("Hello world!") Cloudbeds.com Interesting! What was your latest Hackernoon Top story about? The collapse of FTX is an ongoing threat to NFT marketplaces and blockchain games. There’s more going on here than just a crazy year for crypto. are closing in on digital assets of any and all kinds. They’re looking for new ways to tax and regulate, and FTX has given them plenty of talking points. Nothing is guaranteed to escape the watchful eye in Washington B.D. (Barad-dûr) - not even an Axie skin. But #TheSandbox is going to come out of the current crypto climate with even bigger market share. They’re poised to move into the space left by Solana, defunct FTX partnerships, and anything ever built on FTT. Powerful forces in the U.S. government Do you usually write on similar topics? If not, what do you usually write about? Okay: people have been writing about “post-agile” practically as long as they’ve been writing about Agile. And I didn’t exactly coin “dev3.” But it’s not just hype. Web3 is happening where you DON'T see it. That’s why it’s web3. Do you have any idea how OLD mainstream dev rituals are?? The Agile Manifesto has reached legal drinking age. Scrum is older than Resident Evil 1. Right now a lot of big tech monoliths risk getting the rug pulled out from under them by truly agile squads. Next Gen isn't about silos, storypoints and standups. It's about ownership at all levels of dev. Great! What is your usual writing routine like (if you have one?) I just wake up scared every morning. I run on black coffee and an impending sense of doom. Being a writer in tech can be a challenge. It’s not often our main role, but an addition to another one. What is the biggest challenge you have when it comes to writing? Just staring at that white screen of death and wondering “can I really pull this off again?” Getting paid to be creative is so cool; still I don’t know how many days I’ve said “I wish I could go back to data entry.” James Altucher is a human trigger warning, I grant you, but he said something that stuck with me: write down ten bad ideas every day. At the end of the year you might have 3,650 bad ideas - and one good one. One good idea is all it takes to change the world. Altucher’s body of work contains many, many bad ideas, but his success is inarguable. What is the next thing you hope to achieve in your career? I don’t subscribe to achievement in the mainstream sense. There are no differences of scale. Whether it’s a spinner, a , or a 3,000-page treatise on the fall of Rome, creators must work to bring the divine fire to mortals. We will all fail. But that’s our quest. I’ve written maybe six sentences I’m truly proud of; I hope to achieve a seventh. tweet Wow, that’s admirable. Now, something more casual: What is your guilty pleasure of choice? Bored Panda. And I’m gonna level with you: I read nothing of substance outside my job. Nothing. Do you have a non-tech-related hobby? If yes, what is it? I compose horrible music on GarageBand. I self-published an equally historical fantasy novel. But it outsold both of Andrew Cuomo’s books combined, and no publisher ever had to take a five million dollar bath on it. I often have to go running three times a day because I can’t sit still. My psychiatrist says the medical term for my condition is “nuts.” alt-country horrible What can the Hacker Noon community expect to read from you next? Wow… got any requests? I write, conservatively, anything. Maybe a sonnet? Iambic pentameter only, please. What’s your opinion on HackerNoon as a platform for writers? I lovelovelovelovelovelovelove you guys. Wow! What an incredible service - to us, to the culture. This is the Tik Tok era, and you folks are on the right side of history. We don’t have to beg trad gatekeepers to get our work out there any more. Thanks for taking time to join our “ ” series. It was a pleasure. Do you have any closing words? Meet the writer Beauty is , Truth Beauty. That is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know… Truth

Frank Morgan on Writing, Hospitality, and Web3

You’ve probably used map, reduce, and other functional methods in Javascript before, but there are a few use cases you probably haven’t thought about much or used before. In this post, I’d like to go over these methods (and a few other surprises!) to show what’s possible. Array#map Map is the powerhouse of the cell, er, Javascript. It’s my favorite way to iterate over an array when I need a new value for each value in the array. In other words, if you need to transform an array element-by-element, map is the way to go. For example: squares = arr.map( .pow(i, )); const => i Math 2 You can also get the index as the second parameter of the callback, as in: nums = arr.map( { (idx % === ) { .pow(i, );
  } { .sqrt(i);
  }
}); const ( ) => i, idx if 2 0 return Math 2 else return Math This is a contrived example, but you get the picture. It gets more useful, though, when you factor in… Array#reduce Reduce is an efficient, expressive way to get a single value from a list of values. If you didn't know about reduce, you might do something like this: storyMap = {};
stories.map( {
  storyMap[story.slug] = story;
}); let => story But with reduce, this can be made into: storyMap = stories.reduce( {
  acc[story.slug] = story; acc;
}, {}); const ( ) => acc, story return This, of course, is a contrived example, but you can clearly see how a more complex object might be built out of such a call. In this case, stands for "accumulator", the value that will eventually be passed out of reduce and into . If you pass a second parameter to reduce, as we have, that sets the initial value of the accumulator. acc storyMap Let's look at a few real examples from the Hacker Noon codebase: words = stories.map( story.wordCount || story.words)
          .filter( !!wordCount)
          .reduce( { a + b }, ); const => story => wordCount ( ) => a, b return 0 This example is fairly straightforward. We get the word count from both 2.0 and archived (1.0) stories, filter out any falsy/null values, then sum the resulting array using reduce. As you can see, we make heavy use of map, filter, and reduce: storyMap = stories.reduce( {
  acc[ ] = story; acc;
}, {}); storyMetrics = data.rows.reduce( { pathname = row.dimensions[ ]; story = storyMap[pathname]; (!story) { acc; } [pageviews, timeRead, avgTimeRead] = row.metrics[ ].values; metrics = { pageviews, : timeRead };

  acc[story.id] = metrics; acc;
}, {}); const ( ) => acc, story `/ ` ${story.slug} return const ( ) => acc, row const 0 const if return const 0 const time return
