My team and I looked at Numba a year ago or so for optimisation of a fairly large calculation, and found that the speed-ups were impressive where they worked, but were not consistent or predictable.

We used Cython for large parts, and while there was boilerplate and incantations, the gains were achievable, incremental and certain. The annotation tools were also quite helpful for identifying bottlenecks where Cython code could be effective.

Incidentally, once we decided that Cython was our go-to tools, we often wrote simple looping code rather than vectorised code because it was simpler to transition to Cython, alá Julia.

While sexual reproduction occurs through spawning, where genetically diverse offspring travel far and wide on currents to possibly different habitats and niches.

The idea here is that asexual reproduction is a benefit to the species during relatively stable conditions, while sexual reproduction works best to populate new areas or recover from population disasters.

Changes to average beach temperatures can skew sex ratios in hatchlings. (Will find for refs but mobile right now)

Could this mechanism of rebalance work for turtles, even though the mortality of hatchlings and juveniles might be most important to the survival to breeding age, and subsequent numbers of offspring?

I have looked at Elm, and Purescript and now Bucklescript, but I have not yet seen, or wired up myself, something like the Elm architecture.

I should probably buckle down and learn the wiring I need myself, but I have been finding the typing a little tough.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i thought deep diving mammals couldn't get the bends on breath-hold because they haven't breathed compressed gas. Sure, high energy sound can damaging, but scare whales bent? please.

They could do with better de-escalation training to deal with situations in critical environments like crowds [1] or when dealing with mentally ill people [2].

I think anyone carry a deadly weapon, civilian or government officer should bear extra responsibility to safeguard the safety of all people around them.

But its tables beat both hands down. You can include a csv file with some headers or micromanage merged cells, alignment and such.

Have you any suggestions for an F# webserver?

I am torn trying to find a humane solution that does not cause further traffic, however.

I believe that even those granted refugee status are trapped on Nauru or Manis Island until they agree to resettlement in a third country like Cambodia.

The Government has refused to resettle refugees to New Zealand under an agreement brokered by an earlier Government, presumably on the grounds that humane treatment in a third country would further encourage maritime immigration.

And during the current federal election campaign, the Labor opposition can't be seen as soft compared to the government (and is even claiming some credit for setting up elements of the "offshore processing").

But, I cannot condone restarting the people smuggling trade that puts so many in danger at sea (also in the Med). The bottom line is that we should be targeting the people smugglers, not the people.

- tethering, they likely need to be anchored in shallow water (<100m) to reduce expensive anchoring gear and potential entanglement,

- high wave states, what will happens to the booms and collected plastic during storms? Particularly in shallow waters where waves rear up.

I imagine testing in the Pacific would address the first, and in the North Sea for the second. But testing in Dutch lakes may not help assess either. I don't question the need for such a solution tho, hopes it works.

Does anyone (or Trent) know how this appointment will support or hinder further development of PyParallel? I assume that Continuum could accelerate this development or direct Trent's efforts to other areas.

Either way, I'm sure there will be benefits for the Python ecosystem.
