Unfortunately the 10th "Mountain" Division carries this title only in name. They are simply another IBCT and conduct no specialized mountaineering training. They are located at Fort Drum, NY which is flat as a pancake and much closer to the Great Lakes than any mountains. In fact, there is no large formation in the US military with that capability. As far as training facilities/schools go, I am only aware of the Army Mountain Warfare School and the USMC Mountain Warfare Training Center. The former is located in Vermont (and both NY and Vermont's mountains are a joke compared to say.. the Alps or the mountains of Afghanistan) and I have never met anyone in 11 years of Army service that has attended the school (seems to be mostly a "fun" school for Vermont National Guardsmen and ROTC Cadets). The latter Marine Corps school seems to take things a little more seriously, located in the Sierra Nevadas and offering some pretty advanced training. I can't speak for Marine attendance at this school but the Corps is small and mostly concerned with the ocean. I would imagine the school gets some patronage from Special Operations Forces, for example the Army maintains a number of Special Forces mountaineering teams. Again, that is very small though. So no, unfortunately the US military has very little mountain capability. The days of the 10th Mountain skiing down the slopes in the Rockies is long gone.
Our advanced Minecraft Programmers use GameStart's proprietary TechMage mod to be able to write Python code for the PC version of Minecraft. TechMage is not yet released to the public, but we do offer a solution for practicing on a Pi at home.
They sound awfully protective of their proprietary code. Hopefully they are more concerned about giving kids a braindead, easy system to use at home, and will eventually expand their scope to have something that can be run by kids on their PCs. Besides, anyone can write a Python API for Minecraft. What would really set this company apart is high quality instruction.
I think that is exactly what Google expected and now they have the data points to prove it. Hence they are advocating the all-in approach.
Of course, the ultimate goal is that all bad/drunk/distracted drivers are removed from the roads because no humans are driving. Once that happens perhaps riding in an automobile would be statisically safer than say.. working out.
Or perhaps like every technological innovation which has displaced workers, the workers will simply find new jobs that fit into the new system? I'm sure there are plenty of long haul truckers who enjoy their jobs but I bet there are many more who do it because it's a job and would welcome the opportunity to never work more than 50 miles away from home, spend more time with their families and friends, etc. New jobs will be created from the new technology. The trucks will need someone to refuel them. Until that gets automated away.. But someone will have to install the new fuel automation systems and someone will have to maintain them. Billing and logistics for the fuel will be automated and that will require more servers, more networks, more data centers, and everything else that goes with those.
There's lots of opportunity in there if one looks for it. Of course, if unions want to resist inevitable progress, they are welcome to try.. and be relegated to the pages of history as has always happened before.
The way the National Guard works is that the federal government owns the equipment and the state owns the personnel. The federal government (National Guard Bureau) decides (with some state coordination) what capabilities units in the states should have and then loans the required equipment (weapons, vehicles, radios, etc). Then it is the responsibility of the state to ensure personnel are trained to perform their mission for the desired capability and using that equipment. This is primarily accomplished by training alongside active-duty personnel to ensure training parity. It happens frequently that the DoD, in conjunction with the NGB, trains parts of the Reserve Component (which includes the National Guard) to perform missions that they may not be equipped or positioned to perform.
Operating nuclear missiles would be one such example. In my experience other examples would include Reserve and NG Military Police performing law enforcement on military installations, operating the Disciplinary Barracks, conducting CID investigations, and so on. They train with these capabilties in mind but only perform the mission when called upon, sometimes for up to 30 days annually, or for longer periods of time less frequently (i.e.: a "deployment").
I worked as one of the few CS guys at a (chemical) engineering company. The problem I have observed with the traditional engineers is that they seem to only want to write code that solves the particular problem at hand without any thought to overall design, modularity, code cleanliness, and re-use. So, when some different project comes down the road that requires the use of previously written software, it's a colossal mess and only gets worse as functionality for the new project gets shoehorned in.
No, you can still soft reset. Once the kernel gets reloaded (by powering on/off and handled by the boot loader) then effectively everything in a section of your "disk" reserved for process memory ("volatile memory") goes *poof* because the new kernel isn't tracking any of it.
Additionally with a non-volatile memory the system could be "suspended to disk" / hibernated simply by syncing all pending writes and powering off. In most cases a 1000 ms operation. Resuming would have similar performance. The machine could also resize "volatile memory" dynamically. Think growing/shrinking your/dev/mem file. You wouldn't necessarily need to have it all contiguous or represented with a single file either. Certain applications would have an expectation of contiguous memory though.
You had a 4 year degree and you were about to enlist..? There is clearly more to this story. In '08 anyone with a degree and a heartbeat could get an OCS contract. Anyway, sorry to hear that almost joining up has left you so bitter.
If I am one of twelve people with a rare genetic mutation, then perhaps I let them study my genes in return for researching a cure for my condition. The drug company stands to make a lot of money off of helping many people, so they can easily invest some into my problem of feeling no pain. Seems like a fair trade, right? Because it's a bit of a drag to think you've just sustained a flesh wound when actually your arm's off.
You are forgiven. I believe OP used the term "scientism" to distinguish dogmatic thinking based on someone's misguided idea of the principles of science from the actual thing. Essentially you have just agreed with the OP thus it is kind of pointless to have picked a part out of context to rebut. However, congratulations on all the mod points you received for it.
You're talking about mentally unstable people. Professional armies do their best to prevent them from joining or weeding them out. They cannot be relied upon to do the right thing and thereby endanger their comrades.
Multiply by the number of browser profiles you care about and on friends' and relatives' computers. And, yeah.. I'd prefer this change to come as part of regular browser updates.
Huh. I guess I should play the lottery. I seem to "get lucky" every time I install Linux. Whether it be Debian or Arch Linux it just works. Over many years. On various hardware.
Too bad Groovy's REPL is very nearly utterly useless since it can only compile and run a single statement/block at a time:
groovy:000> def num = 1
===> 1
groovy:000> println(num)
Unknown property: num
There are a lot of other things wrong with Groovy but I get how attractive it can be after you have already painted yourself into a corner with loads of horrendous Java code. I get paid to write Groovy (among other things) but I'd rather be writing Python.

Patience, please! I'll be publishing the results in a few million years.

Unfortunately just such a chain of vendors supplied the crowd sourced, Web 2.0, cloud based, PaaS SCADA system running the meter.
Take a look at MOSH for more responsive SSH access. Of course, it sounds like you are married to a GUI and for that I am truly sorry.

There, now if the law doesn't work a bit better, at least it will be easier to read and you can look at it in two terminals side by side!
I do enjoy a good military parade! It would need a proper marching band too!
Believe me, it gets even worse if you marry an architect!
