CBT is commonly understood to mean Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but in this case I believe OP means computer based training(s?)


That's certainly one way to do it. However, we didn't succeed at building modern aircraft or earth moving machinery by building simulations of birds or muscles. There's enough that is unknown out there for a variety of approaches.


Agreed. There's really truly nothing here. Here's a direct link to the correct query, and a cut-and-paste of the google search results, including snippets.

Relevant xkcd - https://xkcd.com/1806/ And don't forget the alt text!



Oh that's clever, that's beautifully clever.


The link only works one layer down :(


Yeah, it's linked -- twice -- right there on the page.


Where's the karma in that?


Wait, we have karma?


Inspiring* xkcd. :)

I had a feeling someone was going to implement this when I saw xkcd yesterday.


Well, I know it has been done several times before, but it's not common.

A recent example is that some apps support this using the Surface Dial: https://youtu.be/8BJisE80wAc?t=116

Whether it's mapped to a two-finger slide, a scroll wheel, a dial, etc isn't the important part. The novel-feeling part is that as computers get faster and people improve at engineering performant software we can have the software provide results in realtime to analog inputs which makes people feel connected to the software in exciting ways.

A basic example would be a virtual DJ type app that lets you slide across an on-screen LP to scratch forward/backward. Obviously something more visually or conceptually impressive as seen in games which support time rewinding would be closer to the spirit of the post.

I would certainly like to encourage more developers to make use of scrolling/sliding input in unique ways.


Some of his original ideas are still kicking around: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorded_keyboard


I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but a common criticism of The Economist's values is that they have never seen a problem that could not be fixed by deregulation and privatization.

Like the second-to-last paragraph here, for instance: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/aug/21/pressandpublish...


For their 2015 outlook issue, The Economist asked readers to submit predictions by Twitter about the year's events. One prediction they published said, "The Economist will continue to recommend market-based solutions for everything."


We've used a similar trick to copy files between coworkers:

  on server: while true; nc -l $PORT < $FILE; done
  on client: nc $SERVER $PORT > $FILE
Quick, simple and easy to fire up. You can continue to hack on the file and nc will serve up the latest saved version.


Is your while loop missing a "do" statement, or am I missing something?
