Isn't it obvious that interpretation does not apply in this situation?

It is not an accusation. It is a statement.

The Dutch book argument is basically a "no arbitrage" or "no free lunch" argument. Isn't it obvious then that it cannot be used to justify anything where no money is at stake and no bet regarding the outcome can ever be resolved?

I think his straw man for supply and demand is off. Higher demand doesn’t create lower prices. Lower prices creates “more quantity demanded” at a given level. If demand increases, then prices and quantity both go up. This may be semantics, but it isn’t like economics completely falls apart. Similarly, economics is able to handle products with high fixed and low marginal costs. (Natural monopolies)

I suspect he gave this book review assignment to an intern that majored in something besides CS, business or Econ.

It's the same basic idea, but the specifics of time travel in Achron are very different.

It's also a great deal simpler than Achron, partially because I am not a math PHD, and also partially because it's a game about players learning how to time travel. By the end of the game, you should understand the mechanics about as well as I do. It's also paradox free; not in the sense that I hand-wave paradoxes, but in the sense that it is just literally not possible to cause a paradox.

Getting rid of paradoxes simplifies time travel dramatically.

From a gameplay perspective, the short answer is that time travel in Reset Hard is less about thinking about cause and effect, and more about thinking about time as a traversable space, and you're hopping around that space to get access to certain events, or a better vantage point on another player.

There's only one timeline in Reset Hard, and it's constantly getting overwritten. It's also OK for different parts of the timeline to contradict each other, in the same way in the real world that it's OK for someone to break a hole through a wall or to erase part of a line.

Everything in Reset Hard is deterministic, but objects and information can be stored in meta-time and then projected back onto the timeline. This means you can do some kind of weird stuff - you can have a door that only opens in the past. You can have gun that shoots people in the future.

Whenever the player dies, they reset to the beginning of the level and begin pushing a new wave forward from the beginning. Their brain is stored in meta-time, so they can choose to do different things. Importantly, if they force another player into a situation where a they would need to make a decision (ie, by shooting them, by walking into a room, etc), that player's focus is pulled through time so that it can make that decision.

This means that you can pull a person back in time before they complete an objective, or by setting up a trap in the future and then resetting, push yourself forward in time to skip part of a level.

One of the best managers I ever worked for was a “people manager”. He knew his limitations and worked within them. He was reliant on the tech lead for technical knowledge but between the two of them made a pretty good team.

Some of the worst managers I’ve worked for have been technical people who don’t really want to manage but git Peter Pricipled into management.
It's also similar to how the pope & bishops refers to themselves during liturgy. All Masses include a prayer for the bishop(s) and pope; when the bishop is the celebrant, he refers to himself as God's "unworthy servant", and if it's the pope that formula morphs to "your most unworthy servant".
As a counterpoint, I found the AI of enemy creatures in Rain World to be particularly satisfying, exactly because it didn't bother trying to explain itself to the player, so you basically had to watch enemies for a while and interact with them (and die a few times) in order to try and learn how their AI worked, rather than learning specific repeating patterns like patrolling etc.

This could also make for a very frustrating experience for some players because it took time to grok the intentions and behaviours of enemies. For example, I remember a review of Rain World (on Rock Paper Shotgun) where the reviewer raged because every time he died the game respawned the enemeis at random locations, so that they were not where he had found them previously and he had to learn their new locations all over again. In truth, the game didn't "respawn" anything -the game world kept running while the player was dead, as it did when the player character was absent, much like in, say, Don't Starve and other games that take a simulation-y approach to a game world. But, to the reviewer, this somewhat complex behaviour (certainly for a game that looks like a platformer) was very unexpected and very frustrating.

Thanks, that looks very good. Unfortunately Clojure and I don’t really click. I have about two years professional experience with Clojure but except for my site http://Cookingspace.com I don’t much use Clojure for personal projects. I prefer Common Lisp. For functional programming, I would substitute Haskell for Clojure except my Haskell skills are so-so.
I think art should make feel at least someone something in order to be considered as art.

That is not the same as having a meaning, though. For example, Mandelbrot set makes me feel "it is wonderful", but it doesn't need to have any meaning (technically, it is a solution to some equation, so it has meaning, but you don't have to know the meaning in order to feel that something).

Personally, I hate writing unit tests, especially if they require complex mocking of deeply nested dependencies.

On the other hand, I love refactoring and/or updating well-tested code much more, so I usually force myself to write tests -- up front as much as I can, but also after the code is written and functionality clearly defined.

While overall the article is interesting, I'm really disgusted by two sentences: "In software it’s common to have something estimated at a day take a week instead." and "The inherent inaccuracy of software estimates creates extra tension that you don’t find in other industries."

Oh, poor thing, you feel so special by being a software engineer?

Have you never heard of construction projects taking many times the estimated time/budget?

Maybe try digging a tunnel through a mountain, where the kind of rocks and caveats you find on the way can make you overrun your estimates?

You're 26 you are young you have plenty of time to create your own products/company.

Work, well that's why they call it work. Keep the dream alive of building your own company/business.

Checkout StartupsForTheRestOfUs.com, listen to the archives.

You've tried 3 or 4 projects? Most projects fail so it sounds like you are right on track.

I would focus on the Stair Step Approach. Create a product or service, charge money for it and level up from basic to more complex. Set a goal of running your own show by the time you are 36. It's a long process.

Having your own projects will give you something to occupy your time and feel that satisfaction you crave.

Remember to check your employment agreements that they don't contain any we own everything you create. Don't use company time/resources of course. But you don't need to discuss what you're working on in your own time either.

You also need to explore what you enjoy doing. Hiking, Travel, Relationships, Drawing, Writing, Nature, maybe Cooking, Pets, Legos.

You need to balance Life, Work and Side Projects. Work is pretty fixed, enjoy Life explore new things, for your Side project give yourself a fixed amount of time each day/week and stick to that. Having limited time you will be more productive.

For you side project, learn new things, automate, this is where you can be creative and do things your way.

Getting a no from work? This is typical, work is complex, most people are looking out for themselves. There is all kinds of behind the scenes politics. Companies will let you go in a heartbeat (in the states). Employees are cogs in the wheel and are interchangeable. I enjoyed my time working in a company setting. Mainly my coworkers, but I've seen companies let go all types and levels of employees without a thought. So don't feel too much loyalty to them.

You only get one shot at life so find and do things you enjoy.

Good luck.
A movie is a story you experience, the physical copy that you own is representative of the experience but it is not the experience. If we lived in a world where I could have ready access to my favorite movie without having a physical copy on hand, the value of such a physical copy would be reduced sentimental value. The physical disk that holds the movie is nothing but a souvenir from the vacation, you can have a physical item representative of the experience to admire, but it is not the experience.

Likewise, a book's value is not in the paper and binding, but the content of the writing. I concede that I have an attachment to the exact copies of my favorite books, but I don't feel like I should. The important things are the what I take with me from reading, not the physical books themselves.

I'm tired of consumerism, I'm tired of articles complaining about the change of paradigms since the baby-boomer generation. I'm not going to consume media in the same way a middle class worker from the 70's or 80's did. A subscription service lets me listen to any song I can think of on a whim while driving in my car, not limited to the selection of CD's I can jam into a binder. If the apocalypse hits and Amazon Web Services goes down I'll start buying CDs again.
I noticed most of the bullshit phrases used a lot of big, _fancy_ words. Not sure if this was covered later in the paper, but it could be this study identified a correlation between language skills and prosocial behavior.

Someone who's never encountered words like elucidate could be dazzled into believing it describes something profound. Whereas people who are familiar with the word would recognize it's use is awkward and meaningless.

I don't think it would be a big leap to theorize that an effective education correlates with prosocial behavior.

I think the author meant that "profound" is something that takes a lot of thought to understand, whereas "bullshit" is something that has no meaning.If you find a profound meaning in it, you're "bullshit-insensitive".

You've substituted "no one" for "not enough" in order to gin up your pedantry. The title is "not enough".

Or do you think the phrases mean the same thing?
Whenever you die, your 'focus' shifts and you go back to the beginning of the level. Other players stay when they are.

Your 'focus' can be pulled and pushed backwards based on other player actions - when a wave moving through time would force you to make a decision (ie, a player being in a different spot than you remember them), your focus will shift to that point in time so that you can make the decision.

This is important because it allows you to kind of grapple people towards you if they're about to complete an objective at a certain point on the timeline.

I hinted at this system near the end of the article when I was talking about how much of the world entities were aware of during updates, but this means that Reset Hard is closer to a tactical, Counter Strike kind of game than it is a twitch-based Overwatch kind of game. You won't be able to see where players are unless they're in the same room as you.

But, just as an example:

That means if you have two things you need to do at the end of a level and you don't want to waste real-world time going through the entire level twice, you could do one of them, and then run into me and trick me into shooting you. Then, you could unload my gun in the past before I pick up and push a wave with that gun unloaded forward on the timeline at 2x speed. When I tried to shoot you in the future, both you and I would jump to that time to respond to the new situation. Then, you could overpower me and you'd be right next to whatever second objective you wanted to complete.

“It’s a sunk cost. If your investment doesn’t pan out, you don’t have physical assets like machinery that you can sell off to recoup some of your money”

That also means it’s cheaper to develop. Software is so popular since it’s only requires a developer and a PC. The return/investment is a lot higher and faster than traditional hardware development. Cheap and fast is what everyone wants.

Of course investors are now realizing, in the case of self driving cars (or cars themselves with Tesla), that hardware still plays a role, and it’s not cheap and fast with instant riches.

20 years ago, biotech was supposed to be the hot thing after the internet. Instead it has been software services, focusing on service labor. Biotech is not cheap and fast enough.

I'd dispute that driving at 38 in a 30 automatically makes someone a "shitty driver" - I've seen some absolutely disgusting driving that never would have been picked up by a camera. Tailgating, drivers using handheld phones, and dangerous overtaking are a few examples that spring to mind.

Of course getting these drivers off the road would be a case of funding police properly (so they can be around to witness these things happening) instead of the easy option of sticking speed cameras everywhere.
>1. A river cuts through a rock, not because of its power but it's persistence.

This one annoys me, because of it's ether/or proposition when it is more of a and/or function.

Yes, water including rivers cuts through rocks in more than one way. For example, Ph differences in the water can cause chemical weathering of the rock. In general these effects happen slowly and need to be persistent for any measurable effect.

But to deny the absolute power of a raging torrent and the amount of physical landscape change it is capable of in just moments is absolute folly. A swift river full of sand and chunks of rock can act like a water cutter or a sand blaster.
