extreme | extremely boring async function runner | Reactive Programming library

I have been learning Unity for the last few weeks in order to create a simple ant simulation. The way I was rendering everything was writing to a texture the size of the camera in the Update function. It works, but problem is that it is extremely slow, getting only around 3-4 FPS doing so. What could be done to speed it up? Maybe a completely different way of rendering?

Here is the code of a simple test where some Ants just move around in random directions. I have the AntScript.cs attached to the camera with a texture under a Canvas where everything is being written to.

In ElasticSearch, what's the rough implementation for an AND-style boolean query where the fields are term types? Does ElasticSearch run filter queries separately on each of the field, and then find their intersections?

For example, if I have something like

Background

Hello all!

I recently learned that in newer versions of SQL Server, the query optimizer can "expand" a SQL view and utilize inline performance benefits. This could have some drastic effects going forward on what kinds of database objects I create and why and when I create them, depending upon when this enhanced performance is achieved and when it is not.

For instance, I would not bother creating a parameterized inline table-valued function with a start date parameter and an end date parameter for an extremely large transaction table (where performance matters greatly) when I can just make a view and slap a WHERE statement at the bottom of the calling query, something like

I've got a list of strings, for example: ['Lion','Rabbit','Sea Otter','Monkey','Eagle','Rat']

I'm trying to find out the total number of possible combinations of these items, where item order matters, and the total string length, when all strings are concatenated with comma separators is less than a given length.

So, for max total string length 14, I would need to count combinations such as (not exhaustive list):

• Lion
• Rabbit
• Eagle,Lion
• Lion,Eagle
• Lion,Eagle,Rat
• Eagle,Lion,Rat
• Sea Otter,Lion
• etc...

but it would not include combinations where the total string length is more than the 14 character limit, such as Sea Otter,Monkey

I know for this pretty limited sample it wouldn't be that hard to manually calculate or determine with a few nested loops, but the actual use case will be a list of a couple hundred strings and a much longer character limit, meaning the number of nested iterations to write manually would be extremely confusing...

I tried to work through writing this via Python's itertools, but keep getting lost as none of the examples I'm finding come close enough to what I'm needing, especially with the limited character length (not limited number of items) and the need to allow repeated combinations in different orders.

Any help getting started would be great.

I am trying to make a next-word prediction model with LSTM + Mixture Density Network Based on this implementation(https://www.katnoria.com/mdn/).

Input: 300-dimensional word vectors*window size(5) and 21-dimensional array(c) representing topic distribution of the document, used to train hidden initial states.

Output: mixing coefficient*num_gaussians, variance*num_gaussians, mean*num_gaussians*300(vector size)

x.shape, y.shape, c.shape with an experimental 161 obserbations gives me such:

(TensorShape([161, 5, 300]), TensorShape([161, 300]), TensorShape([161, 21]))

If I insert a header or footer from the quick part gallery, it usually adds a standalone paragraph character on the next line.

This is extremely annoying because it requires cleanup every time. Is there a way to prevent this behavior? A couple of the default headers from the quick parts gallery do not do this. The ones I've created myself do - for both header and footer.

I've currently got a VBA macro that adds all these headers and footers automatically to documents in a directory, but it doesn't do me much good when I have to go in and hit delete twice for every document anyway. I can find and replace the paragraph markers (^p^p) through the script (which only works in the header), but doing so strips the style from the header. I'd rather these just not be a part of the quick part if that's an option. They weren't there when I saved the part out. Any thoughts?

I have a very large pd.Dataframe contains millions of records where PID and Ses_ID are both index columns, and Var_3 indicates the occurrence of some event.

PID Ses_ID Var_1 Var_2 Var_3 001 001
002
003 0.7
0.8
0.9 0.5
0.4
0.3 0
1
0 002 004
005
006
007
008 0.8
0.7
0.8
0.2
0.8 0.2
0.1
0.7
0.2
0.2 0
0
1
0
1

I want to remove/filter out sessions following and including the first occurrence of Var_3==1 from each person's (indexed by PID) records. Thus the provided example would result as:

PID Ses_ID Var_1 Var_2 Var_3 001 001 0.7 0.5 0 002 004
005 0.8
0.7 0.2
0.1 0
0

I could iteratively add relevant sessions and corresponding PID to a new dataframe but that would be extremely time-consuming given the size of the current dataframe. What would be an efficient way of achieving this? Many thanks!

Updated situation: I have found many rows have the same Ses_ID. How do I remove sessions following (and including) the first occurrence of a particular column value? So for the example below, both rows for Ses_ID==005 would be removed because the event of Var_3==1 occurred in this session.

PID Ses_ID Var_1 Var_2 Var_3 001 001
002
003 0.7
0.8
0.9 0.5
0.4
0.3 0
1
0 002 009
004
004
005
005
006
007 0.1
0.8
0.8
0.7
0.8
0.2
0.8 0.3
0.1
0.2
0.1
0.7
0.2
0.2 0
0
0
0
1
0
1

should be transformed to:

PID Ses_ID Var_1 Var_2 Var_3 001 001 0.7 0.5 0 002 009
004
004 0.1
0.8
0.8 0.3
0.1
0.2 0
0

I am using circleci to deploy an application, I deploy to both amd and arm architectures so my builds are multi-arch which I have been using docker buildx for. With the new arm support from circleci I was able to cut the time on this process down from sometimes 3 hours using quemu, to around 20 minutes by building both separately in their respective build environments (no need to use quemu when you build on the target arch). What I am running into is that when I run the buildx commands, one build will complete, push it's results to the repository and then the other completes and overwrites the previous. What I am trying to achieve is combining the built images into a single manifest to push together as if I built them at the same time. Is there a way to achieve what I am attempting without getting into direct modification of the manifest files? An example of the commands needed to achieve this would be extremely helpful!

Thanks in advance!
