Process function Puns

I am currently on a re-read of BotNS (recently concluded Claw). There has been a gap of about a decade since I first read these volumes. I've been listening to the re-reading Wolfe podcast and a topic that, in true Wolfe fashion, is hinted at and implied in various forms consistently is that of mystery.

I believe I read somewhere that Wolfe was a fan of the mystery/detective genre. I also believe we can agree that BotNS works with various tropes of genre fiction, specifically that of sci-fi and fantasy. And it seems to me there are definitely elements of the mystery genre present as well. One seemingly easy take on this is the chapter titles.

A chapter title reveals what is mystified in the text. That is to say, as one experiences/reads the text, the mystery of the chapter title becomes clear (or, maybe clear is too strong a word for Wolfe). I have very little experience with the mystery genre outside of a few popular titles from the mid-twentieth century, so please pardon my lack of expertise. However, this chapter title topic does seem to hint at something... more. Typically, it would seem to me, any generic mystery story would eventually result in the revelation of said mystery. The private detective must confirm suspicions and end with a satisfying who-dunnit explanation. Often, the who-dunnit cannot compare in any sense with the power of the mystery itself. The mystery is the critical function, NOT the revelation thereof. (Similar to the experience of desire, we often mistake our enthusiasm for an object of desire with that of the experience of desire itself.) For Wolfe, it seems the detective role is fulfilled by the reader, and as such, this results in a highly rewarding experience of reading. I do not believe we should read literally only. We must read, as the text explicitly informs us, on multiple levels of meaning. Therefore, the revelation of the mysteries in BotNS are open, not closed/destroyed by the process of revelation. Is our relationship to the text like that of the highest form of government?

Another insight might be related to the divine mystery, that which is un-knowable, and yet somehow approachable. The ideal may never be realized, but that is not the point: the striving-towards is the point. David Lynch also works heavily with this idea, that the process of revelation, ultimately, destroys the mystery, and in opposition to this, if the mystery can be sustained, the quality of the experience is inherently improved.

It seems

I know I could use a timer, but is there any other or better way, or is that actually the best way to handle it? Is there any way for instance to tell a particular enemy to process their movement every fourth frame? And are there any downsides to this that I may not know to anticipate aside from reduced responsiveness?

Thanks!

Hi all,

Is there a way to use Hayes' Process macro with a log link function instead of logit?

Kind regards

My SSDI is in the CDR process now. I filled out a ssa-454 a few weeks ago along with my doctor's report. Now I just received an SSA-3380 and an SSA-3373 from SSA to fill out.

-about the SSA-3380. It says to ask a friend or family member who you see regularly to fill out. I don't interact with anyone in person regularly these days. I do live with my teenager child. Would SSA allow a minor to fill out the form?

-If a minor is not allowed to fill out a ssa-3380 for me, am I allow to ask a friend who I don't see in person but talk with on the phone regularly?

-I am in california. what should I expect from SSA after I returned the above 2 forms to SSA?

Thank you.

Does anyone know if anything on Salesforce (Sales + Service + Experience Clouds) is able to process PDFs?

"Process" here means splitting a PDF file by page, inspecting some text on each page, and creating records accordingly...

Hi there,

I have an asynchronous program in python that calls a method for each item in a list:

def itemsearch(api, item.name):

api_result = api.search(item.name)

return api_result

def item_check(item, api):

if not itemsearch(api, item.name):

api_lib.create_product(api_object, item, category_id)

def start():

with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:

executor.map(item_check, items)

I want to make my program so that the itemsearch function can only be accessed by one Process at a time. How would I do this?

Online descriptions make it sound like Ti is only thinking and Te is only organizing and carrying out tasks, but I'm sure both have some kind of framework for taking in and judging information.

1. When presented with information, how does/would each function process that information?

Online resources make it sound like Ti is the only function that actually processes information, but that seems ridiculous to me.

2. When presented with a question, how would each function come to an answer?

I assume Ti would mull it over and come up with some kind of answer on their own, and Te would consult professionals or find information on the topic, but wouldn't most people do a combination of the 2?

I have read a little bit about creating children however I still do not really understand it. I am trying to do something like this:

• start button is clicked, function runs.
• stop button is clicked, function is killed.

I want the functions to be run in separate processes from the parent. So from here I am assuming that I need to spawn a child that will run the function? If so, how would I properly implement this? This is so specific instances are killed, rather than the whole process itself.

Still new to all of this so any help is appreciated.

Please help!

hey.

Hey so coming back to GTA online for the first time in a bit (The casino heist) and the usual suspending process trick in order to have solo public lobbies seem to not really work any more

Getting into it still works fine, but new players join that server unusually fast, if i get a server to be only me, it refills in maybe 10 minutes of walking around or so; did they change something about how this works?

Hi brave men and women! I have this problem , I have already tried the regedit trick , and restarted the service , and It didn't help. Best regards !

How can i throttle the function execution? I don’t want the function to trigger endlessly because it will be hard on the database. Any ideas? What options do i have?

How can i collect theese buttons while i have it? Bcause they show up and i click it and it dissapears

Hello,

I'm trying to build a module that basically helps with data wrangling whenever you're working with similar objects and need to perform the same cleansing operations/manipulations on all of them. I started building it because that's exactly what I'm doing actually, but I've only been writing python for about 2-3 months so I'm probably missing a lot of no brainers here.

Here's the code:

# Allows same code to be ran multiple times on different arguments.
# func= function string; args= arguments; kwargs= a dict named values
# kwargs values[0] should be for methods, and values[1] for method arguments

def arg_cloner(func, *args, **kwargs=dict):  
    results = []
    
    # Unpacks if an args came in itterable
    if len(args) == 1:
        args = (val for val in args[0])
    
    for arg in args:                      
        if 'values' in kwargs: # Values[0] for method; [1] for method_arg
            for key, values in kwargs.items():
                results.append(
                    getattr(func(arg), values[0])(values[1]))            
        else:
            results.append(func(arg))    
    
    return results

In theory, you should be able to do things like read in an unlimited number of dataframes with only one line of code, or similar steps that might normally be usually repeated several times over due to generally lacking the ability to easily loop through it.

I'm still working on functionality for specifying a specific iteration for the results before appending them to results[], which I will be working on here soon because I ran into a use case for that while scrubbing dfs from wikipedia.

Let me know if anything stands out to you or if you have any pointers. All help is appreciated!

I'm running a bot on Heroku, and it needs to save to Google Drive when the server auto restarts every day. It works about half the time, but the other half it seems the actual saving takes too long and Heroku starts a new process before the old one has had a chance to back up (at 5 seconds after GDrive saving begins). I've attempted to keep the process awake by making the save function async and then printing to the log every second until save is complete. Unfortunately, this doesn't work and I either have a syntax issue or a fundamental misunderstanding of async functions. What might I be doing wrong? Here's the code:

def backup(data):
    print('Backing up...')
    with open('file.json', 'w') as file:
	    json.dump(data, file)
	print('Still...')
    file_metadata = {
	    'name': 'file.json' + str(datetime.now()),
	    'mimeType': 'text/plain',
    }
    print('And...')
    media = MediaFileUpload('file.json', mimetype='text/plain')
    print('Uh...')
    saveFile = asyncio.create_task(saveFileToDrive(file_metadata, media))
    wasteTime()
    print('Finished.')

async def saveFileToDrive(file_metadata, media):
    global saved
    service.files().create(body=file_metadata, media_body=media, fields='id').execute()
    saved = True

def wasteTime():
    while saved == False:
	    print('Wasting time...')
	    time.sleep(1)

So first things first, here's the image comparing both results. I'll leave a mark you can skip to if you want.

+7 net increase! Levelling up!

Starting off from the smaller bits, consider a margin of about +-1 for scores, which could inflate or lower them, as well as accomodating for changes in other functions that were affected by a common question. With that out of the way:

- Se probably took a small hit due to a higher awareness of my behaviors related to it.

- Ne/ Ni probably had a shift, again, due to an increase in MBTI and functions knowledge which allowed me to better register and interpret how my mind processes stuff. Still, I think I've developed Ni further by being more aware of it, on top of that.

You can skip to here

- Here's the big part: I've always been aware that I'm a "logical" guy that "tells it how it is" and stuff, and about its downsides, but I also thought that was a weakness of mine that I had to live with. It was thanks to an incident with a friend that made me realize I needed to work on that. In a nutshell, I was trying to "open her eyes" when she was mid crisis and she told me to stop and that that was not going to help, which hit soundly. Since then, I've been putting a conscious effort into being aware of how she was feeling and adjusting between guidance and support modes, showing more affection, and starting to talk less and listen more. Eventually this expanded to other people and my way of doing things in general, and I think I developed it significantly. I wanted to see if that would reflect in the test and it did, which made me happy. I think at least 1 of those Fi points was earned, so I managed to develop my feelings-tuning in general.

The takeaways / kinda tl;dr are that it is possible to improve on certain aspects of yourself, that it's worth it and has an impact both on yourself and the outside world, and that MBTI can be a legitimately useful tool for understanding people and for self-improvement, even though it can be wrongly used as "astrology 2.0" and for justifying toxic traits, as well as being the endless source of memes we all love.

Hope this helps and/ or was an interesting read! Don't give up on overcoming your struggles and weaknesses.
