That's kind of the way Tangled works, right? Although it's Yet Another Platform so it's still a little bit locked in...

There is a Help->Rules link on all of the puzzles linked here. It can be a little tricky to decipher them if you're coming to them completely brand new, however. I mostly use them as a refresher.

I actually had a concurrency bug that I was able to capture with rr: an MPI job where I only ran rr on rank 0 and managed to figure out where a different send/recv ordering was causing issues. In fact, it was also a Python model that ties in with a lot of native code generation, so quite a complex issue.

I thought it might work a little like the NYT sudoku app: placed numbers delete candidate notes automatically, but you can also manually toggle candidates on/off. I guess a once-off generation would probably work to achieve this?

What is the backend for the storage buckets we see in cloud (and increasingly, HPC) computing? Seems like a database filesystem would be a good fit there.

Even if they don't have the claimed sleep-related benefits, surely they can't cause any harm (except for slightly orange screenshots!)

I have seen a few roundabouts with metering traffic lights that are only enabled during peak traffic times to occasionally allow the “blocked” directions in. It seems to be a reasonable compromise.

This sounds fascinating! In HPC environments how do the images communicate -- I'm just assuming there's some form of distributed computing going on there?

Multidimensional arrays are first-class in Fortran, so there's no need to use pointers there. There are some rules around pointers and subarrays that I expect make any possible aliasing undefined behaviour.

WebDAV (2010) 7 years ago

FastMail gives me 10GB of storage that's accessible via WebDAV. It works perfectly to back my collection of papers and textbooks in Zotero. That way I only sync the metadata to my Zotero account (which is basically just a sqlite database anyway), and can pretty easily get access to my entire reference collection from wherever I am.

It's not quite readline, but if you start the interpreter as `pil +', you get better editing and history and some nice things like `(doc 'sym)'
