Here are the qualities (IMHO) that will need to be met for a consumer grade VR device to become widely successful:

- It needs to be at a price point akin to a tablet computer

- It needs to be able to run for more than an hour without overheating

- It needs full 6dof head tracking and ideally 6dof controller tracking with motion to photon latency comparable to vive/rift

- It needs to be comfortable to wear for an hour for most people

- It needs to deliver a graphical experience on par with something like a PS2 or PS3

- It needs to be portable and wireless so it can be passed around and shown off to others easily

- Most importantly, it needs to be simple to set up and use. Ie, no external computer, no wires, no mounting of sensors on walls, no need to plug or unplug devices before/after use, etc.

No such device exists on the market today but many of them will exist soon. Choose any one VR device out there today and it will meet a subset of these but not all of them.

If devices meeting these specs don't have some form of mainstream appeal a year of the first release then I'll be revisiting my assumptions about VR. (I have been working in VR for the last 3 years)

I did my best to behave professionally every day of the job and help those around me. This is to say act better than the fray. Doing so for so long led to cognitive dissonance and personal burnout. My resignation was promptly tendered when I realized the burnout became so severe that I couldn't hold back from dispensing the most restrained of zinger, which was nothing compared to what was happening around me.

If I sound angry, it was because I sacrificed a lot of time, energy, and giving up a good life I had in other city for taking the job. Worse was realizing how much of a lost opportunity all of it was. We could have achieved more had we more trust and decency.

If you're looking for examples, consider scouring the annals of the web for "shit Soundclouders say" - a Tumblr feed of leaked statements from our colleagues. I don't know who put that together, but it certainly didn't help the trust or maturity aspects of day to day work. To give an example of the shit posted on their, English was a second language for the majority of us at the company. There was a fair bit of mockery for peculiarities about how people wrote in their second tongue - among memorable immature tantrums recorded on the Tumblr. Do you see where I am going?

I bear responsibility for not being more persuasive. I tried to get this damn Tumblr deleted but couldn't. Nobody cared - especially because it predated me and them. Everybody accepted that immaturity as a given.
New York famously lost their power grid in 1977. And then it came back online.

I'd be interested to know more about the politics behind this decision. The Federal government (generally conservative and anti-renewables) was pushing for pumped hydro energy storage, which would have cost several times as much and taken years to build (and made renewable energy look worse for longer).

This looks very much like the state Labor government giving the federal government the finger.

Incremental recompilation isn't fast enough to wait for between keystrokes, so in-process servers would run in their own thread.

Agreed on JSON, though.

But surely somebody who has taught data structures could analyze an algorithm rather than needing to simply remember the runtime complexity, right?

IDK but it sounds like he failed to remember it on the spot and didn't get a chance to analyze it.
I agree, but I don't think it is "calculated" in decimal places (if the makes sense). Sort of like how slide rules didn't give you "decimal precision".

I've just started another side project using React with redux. One of my goals is to keep my code as simple as possible while still being able to build a large application.

To keep it simple, I'm not using react-redux (I often try to avoid this), and I generally pass the entire store down through all child components, again to keep it simple. My top level app with its simple navigation code subscribes to the redux store and sets its state from it. My router is just a bunch of statements like {pageName === 'connnections' && <ConnectionsPage {...props}}.

To avoid too much boilerplate, I find most of the time all you need are some helper functions. I have a helper function called 'action' that I call like action('LOAD_SOME_DATA') that dispatches on the store with type: 'LOAD_SOME_DATA'. I use a simple 'getIn' function to access nested data, and I mutate data in my reducers with object-path-immutable. Everything is clean and easy to read.

I believe one of the biggest problems with the React community is the constant bleed of 'performance' into app design and development. Premature optimization is everywhere.

Guess what, most apps won't need immutable data and free componentShouldUpdate checks, memoized selectors, or subscribing to subsections of the store using complicated 'connect'/high order component plumbing.

The one time I actually had a perf issue with React was when I had a GIGANTIC list of data (showing all the active salespeople in our company -- we have a lot), which due to me storing form state in redux was being completely re-rendered every keystroke.

The solution wasn't to add react-redux or start using immutable data - it was to add paging and filtering. I improved performance, but more importantly, the UX of the app with this.

If your React app really is so huge and complex that it needs reselect, react-redux, react-router, great stuff -- you are obviously building software for a successful product with lots of feature requirements. Most apps I've worked on never got to this level of complexity.

> Lots of colleges don't even have enough jobs in the area to support every student working

This doesn't make a lot of conceptual sense. If 100,000 people move into a town of formerly-3000, they will severely outnumber the open job slots from before they moved in, but that doesn't mean no work is available for any of them. Most of them will find work just as most people everywhere find work.

Work is available to anyone who can do something productive.
Redux is conceptually simple and really helps in attaining a highly decoupled and resilient architecture, but it shares the same configuration-over-convention mindset as the rest of the js/node world. Once you get all the little modular pieces assembled just right, it's great to work with, but it can be quite a struggle to reach that point. There are also a bunch more libraries you need beyond just redux to make things really hum the way they're supposed to.
I did exactly the same when I was in therapy the time before last. The only person who knew where I actually was, was my Manager (and I guess HR as well) - but my team (peers and subordinates) didn't know. I felt at the time this was the correct way to handle it.

Third time around in therapy (last year), I decided to be very open about my mental health, and the steps I was taking to help myself. So my emails became 'I can't do that then, I'm in therapy.'.

I found personally, that being honest and open to everyone about my problems actually contributed in a small way to my recovery effort. Even now, stabilised and medicated, I'm still honest and open about my [ongoing] journey, and who I was as person then, and who I am now.

I am never going to lie about being crazy again, it's not healthy.
You keep attempting to avoid the fact that you must tie losses to a specific entity being lost. You lose productivity because a specific person is no longer being productive. It's as simple as that. In the case of low birth rates, you are getting productivity losses at the tail end. That's where specific productivity is being lost. Where you seem to be getting tied up is that normally that loss would be offset by gains of new productivity -- a 100% or greater population replacement rate, aka a growing population.

Think of it like accounting for stock at tax time. You can't just "sell stock". You have to sell a specific stock that you bought at a specific time for a specific basis. And if you had a loss on that sale, it is immutably and forever a loss. You can, however, offset a loss by selling a different stock for a gain.
This is where it can be difficult for people to understand the culture in which people are operating. From the outside, a public University is the ivory tower, but from the inside, it's just short of chaos. Sometimes faculty have direct access to post this stuff and either don't understand the requirements or don't care. Other times the staff who post this stuff don't have the support to stand up to faculty when they're told to post it.

The University is not removing all of their content, and they plan to continue to add new public content. It would definitely be a significant undertaking to make 20,000 audio and video files accessible. I'm sure the people responsible for the content will consider prioritizing that undertaking and possibly seek funding to get some of that content back out there.

Something else that is missing in their discussion of requiring University credentials to access the content is the fact that the same requirements apply to content they distribute to students, faculty, and staff. The difference is primarily in the likelihood they would be sued, and the fact that they would have a much easier time finding the funding to make something accessible if a student needed it.

Yes, you could change the law, which would theoretically benefit the people who could access this content, but would completely set back the few gains we've seen in web accessibility (assuming we're not also talking about everything else the ADA does).

Or you could set priorities for the content and fund the effort to make it accessible if it's really worth making it available. Fund research into improving automatic captioning/transcription, put your students on the path to better jobs, and improve the content for everyone.
Great! That is definitely the thing I built so other than wrong magazine name and it went up instead of down, it's exactly like I remember it :-)

Americans don't have universal healthcare, can't just go walk in some clinic / pharmacy and get a doctor / pharmacist to Rx you some birth control.

You also have minimal->zero private money and come from a poor background so it's too expensive. Your parents are religious and it's difficult to privately have & use birth control. Copper IUDs create pretty bad periods and are more painful to insert if you never given birth. Giving yourself a megadose of hormones with other implants is pretty freaky.

But your 16 years old and have a lot of hormones...

That is part of the reason why the entire obamacare free birth control fight was pretty emotional in the USA.

I suspect on a GPU it will be better to use 32-bit floating point internally. But yeah, dithering the output when converting back to integers would be great.

From what I've seen this is quite common with batteries -- the rated power output number is usually in the same ballpark as the storage number.

I'm no expert, but I would guess it's because most of the time the wind will be blowing somewhat, so you will rarely need peak discharge. Most of the time the batteries will be providing load smoothing and frequency regulation.

Pokemon took that mainstream, for a hot second anyway, but in reality the value is in the convergence of social, local, and mobile...or what some might parody as SoLoMo on hit HBO TV shows.

Didn't that single event have far reaching effects on American and worldwide culture? In this case it ended up being positive in my opinion(helping develop hip hop and rap through stolen DJ equipment[1]), but there's no guarantee that a similar event would also be positive. That is especially the case if an actor is trying to cause as many problems as possible.

Resampling in CIELAB space tends to work better than resampling in gamma-adjusted R′G′B′ space, because at least you never end up averaging two pixels and getting a lightness which is outside the range of input lightnesses, which is what causes the worst artifacts in R′G′B′. A linear space will give a better result, but CIELAB results are usually acceptable.

Intel had an wonderful processor for that, iAPX 432, and they botched it.

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.

Another way that might help some people is to write down whatever you are about to drift into, the keep focus until timebox is finished (pomodoro technique).

The best explanations I have are:

As far as I am aware ADDers tend to have shorter stacks (3-4 compared to 5-7 shortterm memory slots).

(My theory.) Many productive ADDers are keenly aware of this and the fact that if it slips now it might never come back until it is too late. This causes stress and you want to follow the train of thought even if it is unrelated to what you should do now.

(I.e.: oops, I see something that reminds me that I need to call <x> today, I know I'll forget it as soon as I focus on my code again. Write one line: call <x> about <y>. Continue work. When your timer finishes: do call <x> immediately after stopping work (somewhat different from pomodoro but adapted for this kind of ADD).

So in short: if you can, write down the interruption, then finish whatever you were doing but use a "timebox" to remind yourself to stop, "snapshot" your work (comments, journal, commit as far as possible) and then take the call, stretch, grab the water or coffe you tried to interrupt yourself with and be on track again.

Of course this is the ideal flow. I have sympathy for people with ADD as it seems they have to work harder and smarter to get the same results as others.

But note if you go to a linear space, you need to bump up the precision of your numbers. 8 bits per channel doesn’t cut it anymore, you’ll want 12 or 16 bits per channel (or even better, a floating point number). This might have a big effect on performance.
But gamedeals allows certain whitelisted ones (charity) and AFAIK there has been no problem.
First of all, it's not the same company as roomba (irobot). Sounds like you had issues with your roomba (you don't say what they were), but I don't see how that is related to being "tricked."

My anecdata: we've had three since 2009, the earlier ones cleaned well but got dirt inside and eventually stopped working after 2 years. Our latest one bought 3 years ago seems better designed and more reliable, zero problems so far. Ours runs 2-3 times a week, mostly on wood and linoleum floors, and fills up with pet hair and dirt each time. We don't fiddle with the IR barriers, we just put a box in a doorway if we don't want it to roam, and we don't worry about docking, we just pick it up wherever it stops, empty it and dock it manually. Overall, it does a good job of getting most of the dirt in an area, but there is still the need to do a deeper clean once a month. Not affiliated, just a satisfied customer.
I went from Redux to MobX in one of my recent projects and it was a breath of fresh air. It's so much easier to work with, and more performant in my situation, too.

I just want to highlight one line from that article that is easy to overlook:

> People with OCD understand that their notions do not correspond with reality

It's like having two thought processes running simultaneously - there's one set that is exactly how I was pre-OCD, and there's another that is _constantly_ trying to inject the various obsessions and compulsions. It's really disconcerting to have thoughts that don't really feel like your own thoughts, recognise them as dumb and irrational, yet end up acting on them anyway.
An underrated alternative, at that. I had a great experience transitioning from Redux to MobX.
> those features don't really take influence from the real world in any more than a superficial sense. The biggest influence is geography of spawns. I don't mean the regional pokemon aspect, rather the feature that water-based ones spawn closer to water (ie: next to a river).
