There is another fairly similar design decision split: LVM - low (block) level, hardware supported, generic, unavare of filesystem layer above (so it may not be optimal for some usecases) but at least this gives some separation of concerns,

It is interesting to use fork() to snapshot application state. It seems so high-level and powerful (Compared to other C/POSIX level stuff - so I'm not comparing it to Scheme/Lisp/"your favorite high/low level e

Ok. An additional thing is, if you find the optimal strategy in the form of: "in n round the best achievable median is x betting this and this way", you should check the strategy when n approaches infinity - I will not have been s

I guess you are right. A minor issue is that you have to beat the 1.8 value of OP in (or in less than) ten rounds because if you have infinite rounds then median can grow infinitely (am I right?). It is not clearly visible in your solution,

"the median is somewhat arbitrary" I don't know if it matters, but: in the bet everything scenario you end up with 1023 people who will be poorer than they would be in the Kelly scenario. In the 25th percentile maximizing c

You know the problem, you know the solution and we doesn't even have to think about it: irrationality is ok if you have small environmental footprint. So this is the relevation needed by the "world" to be saved... And now, if

I'm using Linux on desktop for more then 10 years now. I guess the main reason is that after a few years you just can't leave it - due to the IKEA effect ;) (same with using Emacs) And even if the desktop situation gets worse (so

I still find that the sortest one is this: take the prime factors of n , the primes with even power go to the numerator with halved powers, the primes with odd powers go to the denominator also with halved powers but rounded up. This is bi
