And it's a shame that postulating genetic group selection is so attractive, since ISTM that this is a very plausible case of group selection of memes about male and female tasks.
There's a huge difference between molecule-scale quantum chemical phenomena (as in photosynthesis) and quantum computation. Finding the former in the brain would be very cool, but it wouldn't be terribly surprising or revolutionize cognitive science the way the latter would.
The inconsistency is because, in the generator-expression case, the calls to f() are being interleaved with the iterations of the generator (so the closed-over variable has the 'correct' value when f() is called). If you change this by running the generator to completion first, the behavior is the same as the list case:
In [1]: lambdas_listgen = list(((lambda: i) for i in range(10)))
In [2]: [f() for f in lambdas_listgen]
Out[2]: [9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9]
Understood, however AWS manages the association to block level storage, as well as the performance tuning. You can still operate with ephemeral compute decoupled from storage.
`lsof' is a nice front-end to this particular usage of /proc, and also works on other Unixes (/proc is, I think, a Linux innovation, and absent at least on OS X).
> That the US's implementation of this law is heavily lopsided in favor of the patent trolls doesn't change the fact that patents incentivize innovation. (Whether they're effective or not is another debate.)
Quixey is a small startup (private beta, immediately pre-launch) building a search engine for apps across all platforms (mobile, web, desktop, and otherwise). We're looking primarily for engineers to work on everything from front-end JS to infrastructure, as well as a QA lead and UX designer. Experience with our tools (Python 3, jQuery, MongoDB, EC2) is good, but not as important as intelligence and eagerness to learn.
