The techniques that have been most successful for me are those that involve kinesiology muscle-testing, which identify where emotional triggers lead to neurological/physiological responses. There are several versions of it around. There's a book about a do-it-yourself version called Self Clearing [1]. I've used that approach a lot, but it's worth having a good practitioner to see from time to time. Good practitioners are hard to find, but persistence pays handsomely in the end.

To my knowledge the closest thing that mainstream psychiatry offers is CBT as another commenter suggested; I can't attest to its effectiveness as I'd already sought and found other approaches before having a chance to try it.

I'm happy to share more details via email. I've found that discussions about this stuff on forums like this very quickly get stuck in the weeds.

Enforcement of regulations in the USA isn't grossly different in practice. For the kinds of topics that regulations tend to cover, I doubt it could be otherwise--the complexity of the topic makes it impossible to draft law that can be objectively applied to all cases, that ambiguity makes accidental noncompliance common, and regulatory discretion is required so the accidental noncompliers don't get screwed. I accept that as unavoidable, but not as good. The regulations have the force of law, and the penalties--the loss of one's livelihood, or even prison in the extreme--may be just as life-altering as for any other law. So all other things being equal, I'd prefer that the regulators act with as little discretion as possible. That gives everyone the fairest chance to comply with the rules, even if the regulators for whatever reason dislike them.

The GDPR indeed says the punishment should be proportional; but what does that mean to you? Are you sure it would mean the same thing to a regulator? A regulator who dislikes you? If they said that 10k email addresses and MD5-hashed passwords leaked from someone's game server was a worst-case breach, then I'd say that was ridiculous; but I don't see what in the text of the law lets me say that it's objectively false.

The USA has no concept of a separate entity for sole proprietors. It's just you, even if you're trading under a business name. If the GDPR didn't apply to that, then that would be a massive loophole, so I'm pretty sure it does. In any case, the real question is perhaps commercialness, where (a) lots of hobby projects have some small commercial element, ads or donations or a tee shirt or whatever (and to be clear, I do think privacy regulation should apply to them, just more specific regulation); and (b) I strongly suspect the GDPR applies to some noncommercial activity too--would the EU let a political group pull a Cambridge Analytica with all volunteer staff? I haven't researched that, though.

If I lived in Germany, then I'd probably have pretty good faith in my regulators. But imagine the example of that Soros-linked group in Hungary (which I'd edited my first comment to add, so you may have missed it). I don't think that's hypothetical--political organizations keep lots of data, so I suspect that somewhere, a group is making plans to comply with the GDPR, as interpreted by regulators whose government considers them "enemies of the state". What would you do in their place? Wouldn't you wish the text of the regulation gave the regulators less room to maneuver?
Most decentralized projects are approaching the problem in the wrong way. Blockchains are a new, early technology, and most of the developers building blockchains don't understand them very well and aren't using them correctly. I think the dotcom bubble was much the same way - suddenly everyone had a website, but almost nobody had a useful website, because people didn't really understand how a website was best able to serve a business.

Federation over decentralization makes sense in any context where there is pre-existing trust. Federation is faster, more scalable, more easily upgraded, if something goes wrong it's easier to pause things and make a surgical change to the system. But federations are also easier to subvert, and users more or less end up controlling the maintainers of the system entirely. If you are a group of international banks, that's not a problem. But if you a single human being that expects corporations, banks, and governments to more or less always behave sociopathically, then it doesn't make sense.

Blockchain core infrastructure needs more time. The hype train took off way too early. I think we're looking at 5 to 10 more years of heavy improvements to things like the wallets, custody process, governance models, scripting systems / dapp languages, the cryptography itself, the peer to peer network, cross-chain exchanges, and other big developer and interoperability features, and just general education / common sense about what blockchains can and can't do.

We'll get there. Blockchain technology is absolutely revolutionary, and it's going to change a lot of things about our global infrastructure. But 2018 or even 2020 isn't the year that we see blockchains really start to get traction. There's a lot of groundwork that we still need to put in place.

I agree with you - it's similar to the principle of a space heater in the winter. You point it at yourself and heat only a small zone. In the summer, point the fan at yourself and use evaporative cooling to cool just a small zone.
What do you do when you don't know a value?

Say you're making an application that tracks corporate fraud and one of the changes that you need to make is to include the date of incorporation onto the corporation model.

For the existing corporations in your database what do you do?

What I see people do in the wild is to use a value like 1900-01-01. Or they make a ton of tables so that the nil is now just a non-existent key instead of a non-existent value.

I dislike nil as well, and I try to avoid it if possible, but I can't understand how to handle certain situations without it or without re-creating it.

I'm about to turn 45. I'm on my 8th startup.

Not including all the kid startups I did. My first startup was in 1996, I started this one 3 years ago, it's finally getting some traction.

I've probably only got 1-2 more startups in me if I don't have the capital, which is always my biggest hurdle.

Hopefully this will be the leap that takes grandpa home ;-)

The Engineer vs. the Border Patrol
‘get’ is a function that will always exist, but using a map in function position is very fragile and everything breaks if the map itself is nil. If you advocating for this, it is contrary to general consensus in the community; you will almost never see this in real code.

Responding to your edit: it’s safe to do it in Haskell because you know it isn’t nil at compile time.
This is nice, but for budgets to be effective, they need to be across multiple time periods.

Budgeting is like an optimization/monitoring problem with 2 objectives:

1. monthly cash flow > 0 (don't ever let your cash situation go negative e.g. credit-card debt)

2. maximize(Year End final balance)

I have a Google Sheets doc that I've used for years where I have inflows and outflows by month, and a year-end balance that is automatically calculated. This lets me see what my projected cash status will be at the end of the year.

At every month, the cash flow (in - out) is calculated -- this prevents me from going underwater at any given period.

Having a dynamically updating spreadsheet helps you to monitor those two objective functions and make course-corrections.

It's simple, it's cloud-based and it's available on all devices.

> What do you do when you don't know a value?

I use an explicit value to represent the absence of something specific like :id-unknown which is much more useful and safer than just throwing nil in there when a project scales.

If something is nil in Clojure, you have to ask why is it nil? The answer is not always simple. It could be a bug, it could be legit missing data, a number of things.

A simple typo in Clojure can give you nil. You don’t want to interpret that the wrong way.

Right, 100 years of service that works perfectly fine should be thrown out the window. The rest of us should all pay a 10x increase so Bitcoin miners can abuse the system. And oh, btw, when the 10x increase occurs, the Bitcoin miners won't be able to afford it, so we'll have a glut of unused power that we'll all have to eat the cost of. Brilliant idea.

When I had gallbladder surgery a few years ago, it felt VERY reassuring to have a surgeon in his 50s who could cite a track record of hundreds or thousands such surgeries, with a minuscule complication rate.

You do NOT want a surgeon fresh out of med school who hacked a GAN into a surplus Tesla industrial robot to perform the procedure, no matter how bleeding edge that would be.

The problem with a lot of federated platforms (I’m thinking of diaspora, secure scuttlebutt, mastodon etc) is that whole they do provide a way for data to be easily synchronized and replicated, they never answer the question of who is ultimately going to store the data and why. So you end up with a “temporary” list of servers for new users to sign up with, which become centralized in their own right.

"It may be just their hype as opposed to actual facts, but they certainly make it sound a bit more sophisticated than a “traditional” spatial-index tree data structure in the sense that they claim they can stream just the voxels that are on screen at any given moment from a huge on disk dataset."

To be honest, while I don't have that much difficulty imagining that they can stream voxels off a disk (since it's a straightforward application of the oct-tree structure; you get a good 50% of the way there just by writing a naive octtree larger than memory and letting the OS swap algorithm do its thing, with some slight preloading), none of the demos they've ever showed should require anything to be streamed off the disk. Everything I've seen would firmly fit in memory of very modest desktop systems of the time of the demo. It's possible you can zoom in farther than they demonstrate, but, I mean, it's a demo. I'm allowed to expect they're showing off the best.

This is another one of the reasons people like me call them scammers; the first few graphics demos they put out weren't even that impressive. They were ugly and lacking in detail. They weren't even the kind of ugly you get when you have an impressive graphics tech and the person showing it off has no visual design chops, they were just plain ugly. Had the demos gone around the internet, but stripped of the hype they were accompanied with, nobody would have given them a second look. Any contemporary nVidia demo put out to demonstrate their graphics card look wildly better.

The demos where they scan real scenes and display them work much better. The weirdest thing of all to me is that they don't lean into that and just make that their business, but no, they won't shut up about how awesomesauce their stuff will be for games, even when they have a perfectly sensible application developed. Bizarre stuff.

In fact the Java Serialization Stream format (contrary to most other serialization formats) is designed such that it has well-defined grammar and you can in theory build parser that creates parse trees given only the definitions of classes involved without running any code from these classes. (ie. the parts that depend on behavior of writeObject()/readObject() are delimited inside the stream and you only need to know whether class implements such methods)

Many other language-specific serialization mechanisms just write arbitrary binary data into stream which can then only be parsed by ad-hoc recursive descent parser implemented by equivalent of java's readObject().
> Similarly Linux has "Linus decentralisation": there's an elaborate decentralised version control system, but nonetheless Linus has effective final veto in practice. And Etherum has "Vitalik decentralisation": disasters such as the DAO can be reversed by code changes, because even if the blockchain is immutable the code required to interpret it isn't.

There is nothing but "sheep mentality" preventing most people from (hard) forking.

Shoppers Step Over 'Bodies' at Hogg-Led Publix Protests
The direction doesn't matter nearly as much as blowing the fan through a large-ish opening.

You want the air from the fan to accelerate other air on the way out/in. This is the same principle as turbofan engines, in which a higher bypass ratio (bigger fan) attached to the same fuel burning jet core is more efficient.

Why? Because the relationship between velocity and volume is not linear. Takes more energy to move the same amount of air the faster you accelerate it.

So ideally you want to position the fan in a large opening far enough back that the fast moving air can get a bunch of other air moving as well. Trade the high velocity fan air for a much higher volume.

"Purchasing power parity" is extremely important for comparing these things, especially when it comes to housing. I get the impression that Silicon Valley is a place where $100k isn't quite enough to not have to share accomodation. It's certainly the case that London-weighted salaries don't make up for London-weighted house prices.

One of these days remote working will start to make a difference in this inequality.

> Economic development is what brings social progress.

Not necessarily. Economic development can be limited to the owners of the companies whilst exploiting the employees. That is what gave rise to unionization, it was a reaction to abusive practices.

That unions later on became self sustaining and that they work against the interest of some of the people that are employed (seniority system for instance) has nothing to do with why they exist in the first place.
> Mandela never renounced violence. In 1985, Mandela was offered a conditional release if he were to renounce violence; he refused.

Renouncing violence against a nuclear-bomb-equiped adversary is beyond foolish, strategically speaking. At the micro end, the same regime was not beyond shooting dead (unarmed) protesting high-schoolers less than a decade before the offer. Renouncing violence wasn't a viable option, but perhaps they hoped 2 decades imprisonment with labor had softened Mandela.

Given South Africa's geography, why do you think the apartheid government had (prior to the offer) developed its nuclear program? Hint: there was no parallel program for long-distance nuclear-payload delivery.

But other tech companies are also starting to give away company cars as part of the compensation package, to attract developers.
