![]() ![]() Even outside of the large role technology played in his search, he seems to feel oppressed by the electricity running through his old hometown, which changes the way things look to him. If Google Earth had been available, would Saroo’s adoptive parents have helped him to find his hometown? What would have happened if he did? It’s clear from the book that his family had a better socioeconomic status with fewer children, yet it’s also clear that they loved him and deeply missed him. This technology was not available when he was first lost which raises some interesting questions for discussion. Google Earth, and later a Facebook group, were crucial to Saroo finding his home. One thing that really struck me was the role technology played in the book. The copy I got from Target is apparently the movie tie-in edition, but I wish when they changed the cover they had also changed the text of the book which made references to the cover, as I had to hunt through the pictures in the middle of the book to find the photograph referred to. Honestly, he was just an ordinary person who a string of amazing things happened to, and that very much comes across in the book. He then detours into a brief history of his parents and why his mother felt so strongly about adoption based on her own personal experiences, before talking about his experiences moving to Australia and his life leading up to the search. He shares with us the wonders of the home where they searched for his family (never knowing how far he had traveled and how long he survived on the streets) and finally made him available for adoption by an Australian couple. ![]() We journey with him through his traumatic loss and separation from his family and hometown, marvel with him as a rural five-year old stays alive and relatively unharmed on the streets of Calcutta, and travel to the police station with a helpful teenager, then a large group housing center. Lion then introduces Saroo to us and takes us through all his precious childhood memories of India and his family. The book begins with a teaser prologue which gives it away – near the empty shell of his old home, he finds somebody who says he’ll take Saroo to his mother. Reading the blurb, it dealt with international adoption which is a topic of interest to me. There was a brown person on the cover, so I bought it knowing nothing about the book. This was, once again, a fully random Target pick. But is any of his family still there? Lion (previously A Long Way Home) by Saroo Brierley. Twenty-five years after he got lost, he came home again.

With over 150 years of experience in creating precise watches that are bold in both design and function, TAG Heuer offers a wide selection of impeccable timepieces that are prized by collectors today. Interested in learning more about racing watches? Read this article for a brief history on the topic, or discover the top chronograph watches on the market today. ![]() Under new ownership, this avant-garde luxury brand focused on refreshing their range of offerings with new models like the Formula 1 and S/el sports series. In 1986, Heuer’s company was acquired by a private holding company called Techniques d’Avant Garde who renamed the brand TAG Heuer, combining their own initials with Heuer’s surname. As the 1920s approached, the company behind TAG Heuer was recognized for their sport stopwatch reliability, making them the world’s leading sport timekeeper supplying chronographs for the Olympic Games and other world championships-seemingly foreshadowing their impact on motorsports in decades to come. Then in 1914, Heuer adapted to the emergence of wristwatches by creating his own wrist chronographs. He started producing incredibly accurate pocket chronographs that were soon used to time high profile racing events on land and in water. In the 1880s, the world saw a rapid rise in sport popularity, and Heuer took it as an opportunity to fill a gap in the watch market. Currently known as TAG Heuer, the company’s humble beginnings are rooted in Heuer’s passion for sport, performance, innovation, and precision. ![]() The Swiss luxury brand’s rich history began in 1860 when founder Edouard Heuer launched his watchmaking business, Uhrenmanufaktur Heuer AG. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cloud storageĪll PS Plus members, no matter the tier, get 100GB of cloud storage for game saves, so even if you lose your save data stored on a PS4 or PS5, you will be able to recover it later.Īlso, if you own a second console and want to carry on playing the same game, you can transfer save games from machine to machine.

The basis for this distinction, however, has been questioned. Although the reinforcement process is primarily functionally defined, that is, identified by the effect this interaction has on event and behavior (i.e., acceleration in both cases), behavior-analytic textbooks (e.g., Alberto & Trautman, 2013 Catania, 2013 Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007) have distinguished subcategories of reinforcement based on formal properties of the process (i.e., positive reinforcement when contingencies entail stimulus presentations and negative reinforcement when they entail stimulus removals). Reinforcement is a term that describes a dynamic interaction between environment and behavior in which behavior increases the probability of an event which, in turn, increases the probability of said behavior. Palabras clave: elección, operante concurrente, reinforcement negativo, parámetros del reforzamiento, humanos. Se discutieron las implicaciones de que los procesos que involucran reforzamiento positivo y negativo pueden tener efectos funcionales distintos. Estos resultados demuestran que los PSA con reforzamiento positivo no siempre predicen sensibilidad diferente a las manipulaciones paramétricas del reforzamiento negativo. La sensibilidad fue idéntica con los dos procedimientos para dos participantes, pero no para el tercero. ![]() Estos reforzadores se incorporaron como parte de la evaluación de sensibilidad a los parámetros operantes concurrentes (PSA) para evaluar si la sensibilidad a las dimensiones de ciertos parámetros (i.e., tasa, magnitud, demora) difirieron entre procedimientos con reforzamiento positivo y negativo. Se usaron programas de razón progresiva para identificar los sonidos preferidos o aversivos cuya presentación contingente (o eliminación) tenía un valor reforzante similar. Participaron tres estudiantes no graduados. Keywords: choice, concurrent operant, negative reinforcement, parameters of reinforcement, humans.Įl presente experimento examinó si manipulaciones idénticas de parámetros idénticos de reforzamiento positivo y negativo con sonido tuvieron efectos sobre la distribución de respuestas en humanos. The implication, that positive and negative processes can have functionally distinct effects, is discussed. These results demonstrate positive-reinforcement PSAs do not always predict differential sensitivity to parametric manipulations of negative reinforcement. Sensitivity was identical across the two procedures for two participants, but not for the third. ![]() These reinforcers then were incorporated into concurrent-operant parameter sensitivity assessments (PSAs) to evaluate whether participant sensitivity to dimensions of certain parameters (i.e., rate, magnitude, delay) differed across positive and negative reinforcement procedures. Progressive-ratio schedules were used to identify preferred and aversive sounds the contingent presentation (or removal) of which had similar reinforcing values. Three undergraduate students participated. The present experiment examined whether identical manipulations of identical parameters of positive and negative sound reinforcement influenced human response allocation in different ways. ![]() 8/19/2023 0 Comments Database deadlock resolution![]() ![]() It depends on the execution order of operations. The problem does NOT depend on configuration. The most important thing to know is: There is NO MAGIC CONFIGURATION PARAMETER to fix this problem. The default value here is 1 second, which is high enough to avoid pointless deadlock detection attempts, but is still short enough to fix the problem in a useful and timely manner. Why does PostgreSQL wait for some time before it steps in and fixes things? The reason is that deadlock detection is quite expensive, and therefore not immediately triggering it makes sense. If two transactions are in a conflict, PostgreSQL will not resolve the problem immediately, rather it will wait for deadlock_timeout and then trigger the deadlock detection algorithm to resolve the problem. The reason is that transactions have to wait for one another. Process 70713 waits for ShareLock on transaction 891718 blocked by process 70725.ĬONTEXT: while updating tuple (0,1) in relation "t_data" PostgreSQL waits (deadlock_timeout) and triggers deadlock detection after this timeout (not immediately)ĭETAIL: Process 70725 waits for ShareLock on transaction 891717 blocked by process 70713. Wants to lock the row locked by transaction id: now both are supposed to wait Has to wait until transaction 2 releases the lock on the row containing id = 2 Abort one transaction and commit the other transaction.Īs waiting infinitely is not an option, PostgreSQL will abort one of these transactions after some time ( deadlock_timeout).But what happens if transaction 1 has to wait for transaction 2 and transaction 2 has to wait for transaction 1? In that case, the system has two choices: It is perfectly fine if transaction 1 has to wait for transaction 2. The crux is that if data is updated in a different order, transactions might have to wait for one another to be finished. Test=# CREATE TABLE t_data (id int, data int) That’s sufficient to explain the basic principle of deadlocks. If you want to understand how a deadlock occurs, all you need is a table containing two lines. They also want to understand how a deadlock can be avoided and what software developers can do about it. Many people approach us because they want to understand what a deadlock is and how it can happen. But what does it really mean? How can we prevent a deadlock and how can we reproduce the problem? Let’s dive into PostgreSQL locking and understand what deadlock and deadlock_timeout really mean. Many might have seen PostgreSQL issue the following error message: "ERROR: deadlock detected". ![]() 8/19/2023 0 Comments Sony video digital camera recorder![]() ![]() If you're looking for better stabilization, the similarly-priced Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV comes with five-axis in-body image stabilization, making it a great alternative if stabilization and portability are priorities. The ZV-E10 uses a similar APS-C sensor to the α6400, so recording quality is comparable. The AF is generally quick and reliable, too. The camera also has specialized focus modes like 'Product Showcase,' which automatically switches focus to any objects held up in the frame, making this a great choice for product and beauty vloggers. Not having a viewfinder makes it a little less versatile, and it doesn't feel as well-built as the pricier α6400, but if you know you're mostly going to be shooting videos, the ZV-E10 is worth considering for its price. Unlike the more photography-oriented Sony α6400 above, its fully articulated screen makes it much easier to monitor yourself while recording. If you're on a tighter budget and don't need a viewfinder, the Sony ZV-E10 is one of the best budget cameras you can get for vlogging. That means a mic mounted on the hot shoe can potentially obstruct your view, but it's a small inconvenience, given all this camera has to offer. It doesn't have an articulating screen, though its tilting screen can still flip up to face you. Battery life is solid, and the camera doesn't impose any time limit on recording, which is great for shooting long, uninterrupted takes. Like the Fujifilm, the α6400 uses an APS-C sensor and records high-quality video, though there's a noticeable crop when shooting in 4k at 30 fps. On the upside, it has an excellent autofocus system, with a highly effective face and eye tracking feature that ensures you or your subject stay in focus throughout your videos. But the real appeal of going with a Sony E-mount camera is the wide selection of native and third-party lenses, which is great if you ever want to upgrade your setup down the line. It's well-built, with a portable weather-sealed body that makes it easy to take on the go. The Sony α6400 is a great mid-range choice that you can get bundled with a kit lens for the same price as the Fujifilm X-S10 camera body alone, making this a great deal if you don't mind losing out on IBIS. ![]() However, these cameras are geared more toward pros and filmmakers, so they're likely overkill for most aspiring YouTubers. If your ambitions lie beyond YouTube, you might prefer a more advanced camera like the Panasonic LUMIX GH5 II or its successor, the Panasonic LUMIX GH6, both of which have better internal video recording capability and offer more recording formats and codecs than the X-S10. Video quality is also excellent, thanks to its high-resolution APS-C sensor. ![]() ![]() Add in an autofocus system that can keep up remarkably well in video and a high frame rate mode in 1080p for slow-motion recording, and you've got a super versatile camera for a range of video styles. It's well-built, with accessible controls, a comfortable grip, and a fully articulated screen to easily monitor yourself while recording. It's also one of the few cameras in its price range to feature in-body image stabilization (IBIS), which can help smooth out camera shake when shooting handheld. The Fujifilm X-S10 is the best 4k camera for YouTube that we've tested, with plenty of video features at a reasonable price point. If shooting sports is more your thing, you can also look at the best video cameras for sports. We've bought and tested over 85 cameras in our lab, and below, you'll find our recommendations for the best cameras for YouTube videos. If you're looking for something more advanced, you can check out our best cameras for filmmaking instead or the more general best 4k-capable cameras. If you want to step up your video game, plenty of options at different price points can produce great content for YouTube. You can get different lenses to create a nice shallow depth of field for talking head videos, or start shooting with Log profiles and learn how to color-grade your footage. Going with an interchangeable-lens camera gives you more control over the look of your videos. That said, there are some things a smartphone can't do. Using what you already own also leaves more room in your budget to invest in a good microphone and lighting setup, which is key to creating videos that will stand out in the sea of content on YouTube. If you're getting into YouTube, using your smartphone camera may be the most cost-effective option. ![]() 8/18/2023 0 Comments Submarine pitchers mlb 16![]() San Diego Studio, a digital game developer based in Sorrento Valley, produced and presented the Baseball video game by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
