man ps has all the answers, under the "PROCESS STATE CODES" heading:

The rsync and sleep commands (the sleep is just an example) are run through exec to prevent the creation of zombie processes if I kill the parent script while they're running, and each potentially-long-running command is wrapped in its own subshell so that when exec finishes, it won't terminate the whole script.

It’s not that Slack is too distracting and killing individual productivity. It’s that your company’s processes are so dysfunctional you need Slack to be distracting and killing individual productivity.

If any Firefox engineers are reading this, please don't try to subvert the above workaround, it requires multiple steps and administrator rights to set up, and we must all agree that it is of little sense for Firefox to try defending against unwanted programs or malware that has root access on the device.

The prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas system of defense against mobile elements seems to function via a bona fide Lamarckian mechanism

scientists are uncovering and debating an increasing array of other evolutionary processes at work in bacteria, some of which are suspiciously Lamarckian in character4–6

A composite process, remember, is organized from both human processes and computer processes

osthumanism as an attempt to engage humans asdistributed processes rather than as discrete entities. In

conditional distribution for individual components can be constructed

calculation once again involves inverting a NxN matrix as in the kernel space representation of regression

in equation B for the marginal of a gaussian, only the covariance of the block of the matrix involving the unmarginalized dimensions matters! Thus “if you ask only for the properties of the function (you are fitting to the data) at a finite number of points, then inference in the Gaussian process will give you the same answer if you ignore the infinitely many other points, as if you would have taken them all into account!”(Rasmunnsen)

The better a designer understands his or her audience and the unique needs of that particular audience, the more efficiently and effectively he or she will be able to develop, design, implement, and evaluate instructional materials in a rapid format.
