Check out ionos.de. it's pretty cheap. Like 1 Euro for 1gb and 1 core

How does this differ from cooperative multi tasking?
Semantic Kernel is something like that
Re:Show HN: Interactive Ansible Tutorial on Friday January 26, 2018 @07:07AM (#16238525)
I'm a Clojure dev so I really like fast edit-compile cycles. Note, Ansible will happily take in JSON, so you can take your favorite language and write all the playbooks in that language. Just generate the playbooks on the fly (ie. genearte JSON not yaml) and shell out to ansible to run it. So you have all the features of ansible available but can arbitrarily build up your playbooks in your favorite language.

It's hacky code, but that's exactly what I did in Clojure: https://gist.github.com/rauhs/a72cfbeef4c80f9a58480484c49e7a...

With a normal REPL this works well especially when developing plays.

Yes! It's really good.

Try "Tac" for a new/spiced-up version of the game. It's really fun.

If performance matters a manual for loop will be faster. `arr.map()` isn't all that fast (except in the recent Firefoxes).
Spaced repetition is the most efficient way to learn associations. Thought, it's still barely.
Re:Simple Ways to Be Better at Remembering on Monday October 23, 2017 @01:53AM (#15531003)
I'm a big fan of spaced repetition. From a mathematical standpoint it's also a very interesting question: You have your forgetting curve and which gives you the probability that you still remember the association. I think there is still some rooms for improvements around there. For instance, I'm not sure if the big plays in the area adjust the forgetting curve for each individual user after they have enough data points.

Shameless plug: I actually just developed a new spaced repetition platform the last few years. I'm not official launched but it's online and works. If anybody is interested in taking part of the beta testing, email is in my profile.

229 dead from an overheated entertainment system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissair_Flight_111
This one is better: http://www.thrunite.com/thrunite-c2-3400-mah-compact-portabl... I asked for old laptop batteries from my relatives/friends, so I have currently around 30 of them. I also use it a lot for my bike light and hiking light.

I bought the latest version of the C2 and it charges perfectly.

There is also an implementation here:

In addition to a faster algorithm.

svc is very very common in Solaris based OSes.
That's some coincidence. I'm from about 20 min south of there (Im.). I was surprised to see KE on there.
They used to have Lisp & Clojure. No idea why it's been removed. Some is still accessible:

It doesn't. It's shown in the video.

No clue. It's not officially announced yet. He's just mentioned it on the mailing list.
