You're absolutely right that there's a lot more that goes into a clinical diagnosis of a psychological issue. It's important in that setting because it informs the likely treatment and it's very important to use all the information at your disposal to arrive at the most complete diagnosis.

But that doesn't mean that it's not valuable to use incomplete information to speculate on a diagnosis in other settings. Historians do this when they can use psychological theory to explain the actions of the people they're writing about. The example that stands out in my memory was Alice Miller's exploration of Hitler's possible psychological profile in "For Your Own Good." Just because she wasn't working from a complete medical profile doesn't devalue that exploration, it just means that the conclusions reached should be interpreted differently. Her diagnosis wasn't aimed at crafting a course of treatment for the individual since he was long dead. Instead, it was meant as a way to understand how a set of normal and understandable circumstances can yield an individual so far from normal that he could otherwise defy understanding.

It seems quite natural that Steve Jobs would be psychoanalyzed in much the same fashion. He was someone who was highly successful and impactful, so to the extent that his psychological profile can be mined for traits and practices that led to that success, it should. And he was highly polarizing, so we can also find areas of his profile that current and future leaders should be aware being possibilities in themselves as well. But since Jobs is dead, the need for a clinical accuracy in the diagnosis is gone. A more probabilistic diagnosis that looks at what was likely going on rather than concluding what is going on is all we can do.

Trump, while still alive, is also a candidate for this type of psychoanalysis. Like Jobs, no part of the diagnosis will lead to any course of treatment. In fact the most common diagnosis people seem to claim (narcissistic personality disorder) would mean that Trump would be very likely ignore any of that speculation, no matter how accurate it is. But where this type of analysis can be useful is in guiding the rest of us in how we respond to Trump's actions. Again, it's not important for us to be perfectly correct, it's only important to inform our actions based on the most likely diagnosis. Because the consequences of a "we can't know, so we shouldn't guess" are just too high. This is a man that can start wars, launch nuclear missiles or exercise any of the myriad powers granted to the US President. Even a limited understanding of the thought process of the man wielding those powers can be vital to opponents and allies in the US and other world leaders abroad.
Bingo!

You highlighted two major barriers of entry for the larger market:
1. Initial Cost
2. Technological knowledge required (to inform the purchase and to set it up)

Another point adding to the cost is that VR games of any quality [or by larger studios with resources for quality development] are new games, and as such usually run around 60 to 100 dollars each. And they don't just come on a disk you pop in and play.

Sidenote: Playstation VR, which is substantially easier to set up -- the headset is more expensive than the console at this stage. If you get the starter bundle it's almost 3x the cost of the console.

To many people, it's outrageous. And the argument would likely follow, "there just aren't that many good games for VR" or "I just bought a new 4k tv, why would I buy that _now_". (At least this is what I've heard so far)
In the Penal Colony is a good one.

I don't get this whole thing. Whatever happened to talking to your superiors about this kinda stuff? I've taken plenty of "sick" (of this job) days over the years and often times would proactively tell people to stay home if they were killing themselves (even locking out their accounts, if they went home and tried to work).

This had nothing to do with "mental health" it was just part of keeping people happy and not letting their work dictate their lives.
Another advantage is that the costs would be lower for the streaming provider, which could mean that the costs for the user are lower (although it should only be marginal for services such as Netflix). Furthermore the speed could be higher because the data often doesn't need to travel far and I don't have to worry about if my ISP has good private peering. While those limitations could be considered artifical, it is much easier to prevent them by having a distributed network and thus not be bound by a few agreements and have hundreds of thousands alternative routes, some which might be ultra fast because they are your neighbor.

It even has two browsers, both from Microsoft.

From your endorsement of "using the compiler's symbol tables" (paraphrasing) I took you to mean that you're proposing binding directly to GCC (or another tool) as a library, relying on it's internal data structures as this C API. Based on this comment, it sounds like you're now suggesting that this API should still be standardized and require translating from the compiler's internals into some standardized AST/symbol format anyways. I still think the latter is bonkers for several reasons (SIGABRT being one), but it's significantly less bonkers than what I had thought you were proposing initially.
Is programming really that hard, if you compared it to learning another skill as an adult? Like having to learn to read?
No, because the code doing this verification is also checked by the loader, which is checked by the secure boot module. The secure boot module provides the trust root.
The number one tip I always give is to write down everything you think off when you get off topic and start drifting around. I don't know what's happening neurologically, but it trains you to snap back once your train of focus breaks, it might not work for everyone, but I got pretty good results. It's also helped me with forgetfulness.

Not clinging to single universe rule, but multiworld is a big leap, plus seems weird. Still significantly less of a leap than single-world narrative of "two particles have some probability to do something > ????!?? > they did this" so I dunno. Can MWI derive the born rule yet? Either way neither seems likely.

Thus my hypothesis that the correct number of worlds is actually a fractal.

I sometimes do. I understand and agree with the authors point. On the other hand, I feel like I'm well paid in a very comfortable job for doing stuff I already liked doing. I will likely never get fired from this job and have numerous other offers without looking. From that perspective, a job in programming is "easy".

I'm not missing that there are hard things and to be honest, today is a particularly difficult day, but I understand when people say it's an easy career path.
Learning programming has gotten easier(for the better), because of better tools(finding bugs, debugging etc), better resources(you can google almost any beginner questions and very high probability, you find your solution). However, over the years problems we solve have been way bigger. But if you can solve these problems, then learning the programming aspect of it has actually been easier and better than in the past.
I'm not sure that the OSI people even realized that they were in competition with anything else. I think they basically neglected the low end of the market.

At the time there were multiple LAN protocols that were mostly used for file sharing, Netware, Appletalk, NetBEUI, etc. You had NFS for TCP/IP but it wasn't really used for anything other than UNIX workstations.

Probably it would have required somebody to write a cut-down OSI stack for MS-DOS that could be linked to a particular killer application (whatever that was, maybe FTAM).

This would still have had to compete with the way that TCP/IP was able to swallow up the other LAN protocols, we wouldn't have had to go through the IPv4 to IPv6 migration though.

Maybe vr will turn out to be more like analog flight sticks than the NES.

Today, a vr rig, hotas controller setup and elite:dangerous already is a killer combination for vr. Put the price is steep and the appeal is much more narrow than Mario Bros.

[ed: personally I think vr will be more of a paradigm shift, than a game gimmick though. I think creative tools like tilt brush will combine with multi-user world's a la second life or croquet/open cobalt. And I think it'll grow a bit "top down" first: with early adopters and creators / developers.

But one thing that has to go are the wires - probably first by higher performance/watt and a move to "backpack pcs" to run the software.

Before that, Sony has the right idea: lower ambitions and let players sit in a sofa. Works fine for driving/simulators etc. ]
Ahem, I would like to refer you to The Lawnmower Man (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104692/)

I kid. It's a movie from the 90's about VR turning groundskeepers into geniuses. I'm over simplifying. Watch it. I dare you. I might watch it again.
Great point. The JVM tried for this position and failed IMHO (I think it abstracted too much). Now the browser is slowly honing in on it, and it might succeed (mostly due to sheer inertia). As opposed to the JVM, I like to call the ultimate goal the "C Virtual Machine" (just process isolation++).

I think moving isolation out of hardware is really important (both to make it recursive and portable). NaCl is an interesting step in that direction. If you could use something like it to protect kernelspace (instead of ring 0), syscalls could be much, much faster.

There's another problem with language-based isolation: it makes your language/compiler/runtime security-critical. Conversely, NaCl has a tiny, formally proven verifier that works regardless of how the code was actually generated, which seems like a much saner approach.

I'll also say that I don't think it's reasonable to expect every object/module/whatever within a complex program to be fully isolated (in mainstream languages at least). There's no need for it, and it will have too much overhead (in a world where objects in many languages already have too much overhead). Better to start relatively coarse-grained (today the state of the art is basically QubesOS), and gradually improve.

what would be interesting though, but much more of a niche, would be if some successful quant traders did an in-depth review of some "alpha" or strategy they ran some time ago, which is no longer profitable. They could discuss their tools, analysis , trading metrics, performance, and some discussion of why the strategy stopped working.

It would give a good window into the work-flow and skills required to do this successfully. Even if it's retrospective, going back a few years.
Good point. I always pinned it down to people lacking self confidence. I assume programming can be pretty scary when your bulk experience has been non-stem.
I guess it might depend on what timeline you're looking at? Generally, a more hands off approach to investing is better in the long run, so over the long run perhaps highly disorganized and taking forever to accomplish basic tasks would make for better investing?

Feynman said that quote in 1965, and it may have been true when he said it. The Many-Worlds Interpretation was technically invented before then (1957), but was a fringe theory and not disseminated much prior to the 1980s. I don't think you could get away with saying the same quote today.

Any suggestions for people who don't really like Kafka based on the few most common works usually talked about?

Didn't he only write like 30 stories or something?

I think there might be something to an idea that people who already have considered things the way Kafka does might not value his pieces much, because other than conceptually there might not be as much there as other famous classics writers?
Can you give a specific example of something that e.g. processes absolutely must support which users absolutely cannot?

Consider that in Linux, processes and threads are implemented via the same abstraction (tasks). This abstraction actually leaks in some unfortunate cases, but it's generally considered "good enough."

I feel like you're speaking past each other. I think you're describing what they happen to be empirically, whereas the parent is describing what they are fundamentally (isolation mechanisms). I'm pretty sure the parent realizes you can't "user" for "container" in the same sentence, and that each one has different use cases and implications... but what is being claimed is a little more abstract than that.
I agree. But the sheer volume of technologies, requirements, and tools makes it a net loss in my opinion. I just recently built my first Android application and even with years of cross platform development experience it was still daunting. Thanks to all the available online resources, I built my application without actually learning how anything really works. So I finished an app, it works, but I still don't consider myself an Android developer. I feel a lot applications are built this way.

Maybe building toy application has gotten significantly easier but actually building a useful application on an active platform is much more daunting.

And really debugging a desktop application 20 years ago wasn't much different than it is now. But now I have to connect through emulators, browsers, etc. There's so much more crap in the way.
Why do so many people use XSplit over OBS? OBS is free and the featureset is (or was) more than a match.
> Air travel is a right

It comes down to a question of fundamentally, who are we as a people? Air travel doesn't define who we are as Americans. We believe, fundamentally, that citizens have the unalienable, inviolable right to democratically elect their representatives in government. It's literally [EDIT: We've fought long and hard for it to be] in the contract :)

>It is not hard for me, therefore it is not hard. These people should have just had the foresight, resources and knowledge of their local regulations to prepare all the documentation they needed to vote beforehand.

I hope by stating it this way you see the strategy for what it is: a formula for denying citizens--with the right to vote--the ability to do so.

It's a classic onboarding funnel problem. Ask any Product Engineer worth their salt: if you're trying to get people to do a thing: buy a product, click a button, etc, you minimize the number of barriers to that action. This does the opposite, for no good reason.

>Beyond this, not every state has enacted voter laws the same, or made it nearly as difficult to get a state issued ID.
[Therefore it is not a problem]

Remember Trump only won because certain key states swung by tiny margins. These states resurrected Jim Crow Voting Restriction laws, sold them as a solution to a problem that doesn't statistically occur, and affected the outcome in real, measurable ways. (See zimpenfish's response.)

It matters. And the GOP is gearing up to take the strategy national.

Video games require relatively long sequences of coordinated actions to accomplish anything, though. In trading, every action is fairly self-contained in a few important ways, e.g. the ordering of actions doesn't matter much.
Hi there, I work at Stripe. Sadly, the cardholder's bank ultimately makes the decision on who wins disputes, and we don't have the ability to reverse them. For some context, when a dispute is initiated, the bank automatically refunds the payment, and provides a window for you to submit evidence—and then they decide who wins the dispute. Frankly, this system's pretty antiquated—and oftentimes, they do favor the cardholder, but we want to help you fight back in any way we can (both in preventing disputes, and also responding). I'd love to take a closer look into this if you email me at edwin@stripe.com

Okay, now I'm curious, what does `git checkout -- .` do?

I consider myself fairly good with Git, having used many (but nowhere near all) of it's more advanced features, some of them regularly - but this is a new one to me.

The double dash typically indicates all CLI flags/options have been provided, and the remainder should be treated as positional arguments. However, a single . isn't any standard CLI flag, so shouldn't need the --?

What am I missing? :)

Perceptual uniformity is in some ways opposite to the linearization suggested above - the L* component of CIELAB is much more like the gamma-encoded values of sRGB than a linear light measure.

It seems tough to come up with hard and fast rules for whether to mimic the linear physical processes, or work in a perceptual space more like the human visual system. I'd love to hear about more rigorous work in this area - most things I read have boiled down to "this way works better on these images".

It's interesting for example that using Sinc-type filters to resize truly linear data, like that from HDR cameras, usually gives rise to horrible dark haloing artifacts around small specular highlights, despite that being the most "physically correct" way to do it. Doing the same operation in a more perceptual space immediately sorts out the problem.
I haven't seen a single 100$ game. Maybe this is a Playstation specific thing? VR games tend to go for less than 60$ right now. Initially people tried to pass them off at 60$, but no one was having it. If you wait for the several times yearly sales you pay less even less than 40-50$

Playstation VR seems like a terrible deal at this point with the Rift price drops and deals. Most of the cost of a VR capable PC with a Rift with vastly inferior experience.

The Pilot Wave Interpretation is one of the strangest contortions I've ever seen. You go to all the trouble to set up the wave equation acting on phase space of the entire universe, but then you remember that you think particles are fundamental elements of reality, so you drop them in and say they're guided by your wave equation.

If you take Pilot Wave Interpretation and just take out the particles, you're left with the Many Worlds Interpretation with exactly the same predictions. To paraphrase Netwon, there's no need for that hypothesis.
