Algorithms to Live By.

It takes various well studied problems and applies the solution to common problems. So using the best strategy for the secretary problem to select parking when driving to a popular event.

It’s ok. Well researched and straightforward. However it spends more time on each problem than the depth it goes into deserves. Plus some of the solutions are only marginally useful.

USA, Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, England, Norway, Italy, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Dubai.

That’s not counting places like Finland where I was only there for a layover.

To be fair a lot of human translators don’t bother to be accurate or capture wordplay. Some of the translations for netflix are so bad.

He did!

Presumably there was a contract that had been signed for them to be in the show. There is probably a safety clause that let’s them kick them out.

Kinnaman nailed the roll. season 2 had so many problems that I don’t think it’s fair to put the blame on Mackie.

I think it’s more a problem with the new showrunner being bad at their job. The show in season 2 didn’t know what tone to go for or how to structure scene.

My wife was flying into Regan last Monday and they had to abort the first landing because there was still a plane on the runway.

Don’t cross the streams.

I never though I would miss that turd.

Agreed. I wasn’t trying to say they are always better just explain the difference.

I almost exclusivity use Linux and it handles this great. .so libraries are stored with a version number and a link to the latest. So math3.so and math4.so with math.so being a link to math4.so. that way if needed I can set a program to use math3.so and keep everything else on the latest version.

So the basic purpose of a library is to allow code that does some useful thing to be easily used in multiple programs. Like say math functions beyond what is in the language it self or creating network connections.

When you build a program with multiple source files there are many steps. First each file compiled into an object file. This is machine code but wherever you have calls into other files it just inserted a note that basicly says connect this call to this part of another file. So for example connect this call to SquareRoot function in Math library.

After that has been done to every file needed then the linker steps in. It grabs all the object files combines them into one big file and then looks for all the notes that say connect this call to that function and replaces them with actual calls to the address where it put that function.

That is static linking. All the code ends up in a big executable. Simple but it has two big problems. The first is size. Doing it this way means every program that takes the squareroot of something has a copy of the entire math library. This adds up. Second is if there is an error in the math library every program needs to be rebuilt for the fix to apply.

Enter dynamic linking. With that the linker replaces the note to connect to the SquareRoot function in math library with code that requests the connection be made by the operating system.

Then when the program is run the OS gets a list of the libraries needed by the program, finds them, copies them into the memory reserved for that program, and connects them. These are .so files on Linux and .dll on Windows.

Now the os only needs one copy of math.so and if there is a error in the library a update of math.so can fix all the programs that use it.

For GPL vs LGPL this is an important distinction. The main difference between them is how they treat libraries. (There are other differences and this is not legal advice)

So if math.so is GPL and your code uses it as a static link or a dynamic link you have to providd a copy of the source code for your entire program with any executable and licence it to them under the GPL.

With LGPL it’s different. If math.so is staticly linked it acts similar to the GPL. If it’s dynamicly linked you only have to provide the source to build math.so and licences it under LGPL. So you don’t have to give away all your source code but you do have to provide any changes to the math library you made. So if you added a cubeRoot function to the math library you would need to provide that.

And I’m from the other end where I came from Morrowind and couldn’t get into Oblivion because it was so generic compared to the earlier game. Monsters leveling to the character made it so safe.

I remember when the monster that was spawning everywhere changed type I knew I had leveled up.

Ah yes. Land Skyranger, open door, sectoid throws grenade into Skyranger. Evac with one survivor. Good times.

The constant changes were what made me decide it was a bad game. One of the reasons I bought it was the different FTL types. Between that the consent planet management changes I couldn’t enjoy the game. add the stupid war score system and I’ve learned to stay away from Paradox.

I enjoyed the space adventure parts but every time they broke out the stones I lost interest.

I also liked the show. However your comment about " [it] was really starting to go somewhere by the end of the season" is a good example of why it didn’t get another season.

Which version?

Imagine a time before tv shows had antiescape spheres. How did writers get by. :)

Even as a technical user it’s just nice to have a descent mod manager.

I can download and extract the mod but checking them all to see if they have updates or what dependencies they have is a pain.

Then later when I want to change mods what does modClothingTex do? Is it required for a mod I like or is it something I tested and didn’t like. A manager can make that so much better.

Fyi the us marshals are the enforcement arm of the Federal judiciary. There is one marshall and one cheif deputy marshall per us district court.

The marshals are the group that would most likely do the arrest in this hypothetical situation. For example the FBI is mostly investigation and usually when they get enough information for an arrest they pass it off to the marshals if it’s a federal crime.
