Q: How to merge two files on NTFS by chaining the file's B-tree nodes to avoid reading any file I have the following challenge:

*

*File1 is a huge file, let's say the the filesystem assigns it disk blocks [1, 2, 5]

*File2 is another huge file, let's say the filesystem assigns it disk blocks [10, 15, 16, 18]

Traditional append opens File2 and copies it to the end of File1, so it ends up like

*

*File1: [1, 2, 5], [30, 20, 40, 182] (it assigns and copies File2 blocks in new ones)

*File2: [10, 15, 16, 18] (Will still be in use and assigned to File2)

I want to merge the two files without ever reading the files, let's say, getting File1 chain and consume File2, so it ends like up

*

*File1: [1, 2, 5], [10, 15, 16, 18] (and File2 gets consumed in the process)

Do you know any API call to do that magic?

The latest entry in a Dutch series about a toddler named Kevin follows the little one as he gets ready for Christmas with his family.
Kevin, who appears to be about 2 years old, narrates his family's Advent preparations. He decorates a tiny tree and places a Nativity set under it, with an explanation of the religious significance of the holiday. Kevin continues with his holiday activities by mailing his holiday greeting cards and creating a bead necklace as a gift for his cousin. He helps his parents with shopping and preparing a "great big Christmas feast" with extended family. The book's heavy, coated pages with rounded edges and Kevin's young age imply a toddler age range for the audience, but text is too long for most children in this age group. The toddler does not speak with the voice of a child, but as an adult in many of the descriptions, with a resulting preachy tone. The bold illustrations, however, are just right for babies and toddlers, with round-faced, chubby children and simple shapes with heavy outlines.

San Diego Air & Space Museum
The San Diego Air is an aviation and space exploration museum located in San Diego, California, in the United States of America. The museum is located in Balboa Park and is housed in the former Ford Building. The museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America (National Register of Historic Places). The museum was created by articles of incorporation on October 12, 1961, and it officially opened its doors to the public on February 15, 1963.
The SDASM promotes itself as one of the major aviation museums in the country, with the third-largest collection of archives and library collections in the United States. SDASM has two restoration facilities, one on-site and near Gillespie Field. Both of which are open to the public. Several aircraft are on display outdoors at the Gillespie Field Annex. In addition to those, there is also a Convair SM-65 Atlas Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), a museum model shop, and a restoration facility. The museum's library houses a collection of aircraft publications and vintage images of aircraft and aircraft manufacture from the museum's collection.
Located in the Food and Beverage Building and constructed in 1915 for the Panama–California Exposition, the museum opened its doors to the public for the first time on February 15, 1963. The museum relocated to its current location in the more prominent Electrical Building in 1965.
Arsonists set fire to the Electrical Building and the Museum on February 22, 1978, destroying both structures in the San Diego, California area. Several unique aircraft were damaged, including the Beecraft Wee Bee. The world's lightest aircraft, and her sister craft, the Queen Bee (the world's most potent aircraft). More than 50 other aircraft, a vast collection of artifacts and records, and the International Aerospace Hall of Fame were destroyed. A replica of the Spirit of St. Louis was built in 1967 by some of the original builders. Owen Clarke, the museum's executive director, stated that the $4 million in losses were due to "a combination of factors." "This is a tragedy on an unimaginable scale. What else can it be when you've spent so many years accumulating history and constructing something to the point where it has international renown, to see it all vanish in a matter of hours?"

I remembered a Zohar. When G-d evicted Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, He stationed an Angel at the gate of the Garden with a "revolving, flaming sword." Why was the sword revolving? The Zohar comments that man's disposition revolves. Every person to some extent is a spiritual schizophrenic. It is this schizophrenia that is the basis of Teshuvah.
Every human being has both a righteous personality and a sinful personality. Behind every rasha hides a dormant tzadik. Were this not so, teshuvah would be impossible. Because a person is composed of these two personalities, he can bring out the righteous individual within himself and subdue his evil inclination. Although this requires unusual strength – it is possible.
The man was crying. He was scared, confused and embarrassed. I told him that with his permission I would prefer to discuss not issues of faith, but rather issues of character. I asked him if he could be humble enough to find somewhere, amongst all the academic conclusions that he had ever drawn, the possibility of a five per cent window of error. After some thought he responded, "Of course, Rabbi, there is a five percent window of error." "If that is so," I advised him, "forget about the other ninety five percent and pray through that little five percent opening to the Heavens." I took out a Tehilim and we davened together.
Chazal explain that Abraham's original argument did not revolve around one hundred men or fifty men or ten. It dealt with every man and women living in Sodom . They must all have a little window for Teshuvah. You created them to revolve. Let us bring out the good and the tzadik in them and not destroy them. "Habeit LaTov – V'al tephen Layetzer" . Seek out their good; not their evil!
The Torah does not tell us this story to teach us how irreparably bad the Sodomites were. The story is told to teach us how a descendant of Abraham must react. When someone seems so evil – let them revolve. Look deeper. Human nature has us disqualifying our friends, , relatives, partners and even our spouses and children beyond repair. Life can get pretty lonely when no one is left. There is a hidden side to people with faults, a side that needs to be located, polished and loved. G-d blesses us with community, friends, and family. We need to follow in the footsteps of Abraham to realize that blessing. When you search deeply it is amazing what you will find – even where you least expect it.

If your machine is virtualized, just clone the VM (that is what we do for all of our test upgrades). NOTE - make sure to stand it up on an isolated network segment so that it doesn't try to do any inbound file processing or other communication that it should not (especially if you clone LIVE).
Thanks again for sharing the start of your journey with the Community. I am curious if you are planning to provide another Update Article? I would love to hear about how your journey has progressed over the past year and what you have learned along the way which could help others!
Exactly! We are actively using it internally within InterSystems - both in internal application development, and in HealthShare product development. As discussed in the video we have found incredible value in this tool for decreasing technical debt (and making sure new changes don't add to it). We thought customers might find the value in it as well.
You are most welcome. In terms of why TestCoverage was released on OpenExchange, it is something we have been exploring internally last year and wanted to share with the Community in time for Global Summit 2018. In terms of whether or not it will actually make it into product, I can't speak to that but perhaps the author @Timothy Leavitt can comment on that (I believe there were at least exploratory discussions with Product Management on this topic).
We're using UnitTesting for application validation for internal application development within InterSystems. If you have any specific questions, feel free to create new Questions in the D.C. and tag me, or if you would prefer a general discussion you can ask your Account Manager or Sales Engineer to set up a discussion with me.
There have also been several Global Summit presentations which have touched on the topic - not sure if you've seen these?
Sorry - I forgot that you first need to specify the source control class in the Management Portal. Put "Source Control" in the Search box on the SMP homepage, and then go to that page (e.g. http://localhost:57772/csp/sys/mgr/%25CSP.UI.Portal.SourceControl.zen). Select the Namespace in the left column and then "%Studio.SourceControl.ISC". Save the changes and try the BaselineExport() again. When you are done with the export, change the Source Control back to "None"
I understand ... so you want to only export specific things which it has found to have differences in the code. That makes sense since you are trying to use it at the end of a piece of code already in place. I am afraid I don't know how to do that, but if you contact Support they may be able to suggest a trick or two.
I can only comment on the original functionality in %Studio.SourceControl.ISC - if you're extending it you will need to do some debugging to see exactly why you are seeing the behavior that you are.
In the original %Studio.SourceControl.ISC class, when working in Connected mode (ie, Caché can issue p4 commands in real time to the Perforce server), the p4 command should take care of changing the file back to ReadOnly, which is what triggers GetStatus() to see it is uneditable and therefore not checked out. It may be that your GetStatus() isn't correctly interpretting the Reaonly state of the file, or if you are on UNIX, it may be that Caché doesn't see it properly as Readonly (this can happen if you are running your instance as Root). Note - I think there may be a bug where after checking the %Studio.SourceControl.Change table isn't updated appropriately, but the primary indicator of checked out/ checked in should be that Readonly bit on the file.
Hopefully this is enough to get you moving on this, and if not then I suggest you call Support to have them take a look with you and debug. If there are any other questions I can answer in this forum I am happy to try.

One of the great secrets to entrepreneurial success is what I like to call the slight edge -- making small, positive changes consistently on a daily basis for an extended period of time. Sometimes, you need some guidance to make those small changes add up to big success. Mentors are one of the most valuable assets for a successful entrepreneur.
If you're teachable -- and I hope you are, because most success stories begin with a lesson learned -- you'll benefit enormously from working with a mentor, even one you never meet. Let's take a look at how to begin.
Are my heroes genuine role models?
Can I become like them?
Are these people doing the kinds of things that I aspire to do?
Are they living the kinds of lives that I aspire to live?
Can they really help me become who I want to become?
Next, do whatever it takes to learn as much as possible about your heroes. Read inspirational or motivational books they've written. Watch webinars and videos they've posted. Follow them on social media outlets and peruse their blogs.
Learning pure information is a good start, and while adding the street smarts you gain from applying that information can take you far, even that is not enough to go all the way toward the successful achievement of your goals. You need some way to process all that information, experience and integrate it. That way is through an apprenticeship.
Throughout human history -- long before books, universities or continuing education programs existed -- there's been one tried and true path for learning a skill, craft, trade or profession: Study with a master. If you want to learn how to do something well, go find someone who has already mastered that skill.
If you want to be a great public speaker, spend time with great speakers.
If you want to be a success in business, then find a way to spend time in the company of successful businesspeople.
If it's important to you to be a terrific parent, the best thing you can do to further that aim is to spend time with men and women who have mastered parenting.
Do whatever you can to associate with a mentor because this can be the quickest and surest path to raising the quality of your life. Emulate your mentors, and let their understanding and mastery of their subject rub off on you. By working with someone who has already achieved mastery in your industry and modeling your behavior based on their experience, you'll take your success to the next level.
It's amazing the impact one person can have on your life. How they see you and what they see in you can influence how you see yourself. When I was younger, my mentor, Clyde Share, believed in me and taught me much of what I write and talk about today. Because I put forth the required effort on a daily basis, I started believing in myself.
By actively working to stay inspired by realistic heroes and working with masters who believe in you, the time and money you invest in your apprenticeship will begin to pay big dividends.

Megan Barton-Hanson has shared a heartbreaking post following her split from Wes Nelson over the weekend, revealing how she feels her 'whole world is crumbling'.
The Love Island star announced she and Wes, 20, had ended their relationship on Saturday after seven months of dating. Megan, 24, was then seen supporting Wes at Dancing On Ice on Sunday, sitting in the audience and cheering her ex on as he danced with his partner Vanessa Bauer.
It seems the past few days are taking their toll on Megan, who explains how she's struggling to deal with the online trolling she's received since announcing their break-up.
In a post shared in her Instagram Stories on Monday, the TV star said: 'Hands down been one of the worst days of my life.
In her witty break-up statement, Megan said that while she and Wes still had 'love' for each other and would remain a 'family' for the sake of their pet hamster Jon Snow.
She said: ''It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate.
Their split comes days after Megan publicly slammed Vanessa for her announcing the end of her long-term relationship on the day of Wes' big performance.

Elon Musk said that journalists will not get special treatment on Twitter
Elon Musk said that journalists will not get special treatment on Twitter. This comes after Twitter suspended several accounts of prominent journalists who reported on them including The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN.
Elon Musk spoke briefly during the Twitter Space Chat, an audio feature on the platform, hosted by BuzzFeed News tech reporter Katie Notopoulos. Other journalists joined the space, including one recently suspended from Twitter.
According to a recording shared online, Elon Musk said that it is inappropriate to show real-time information about someone's location. In future, there will be no difference between journalists and common people. Everyone is being treated the same," Musk said.
They are not special because you are a journalist, said the billionaire, they are just a Twitter citizen. According to the clip, he said, "Doctors, you are suspended, end of story." Elon Musk warned in space that trying to be "clever" by posting a link to any real-time information was no different than providing real-time information.
Elon Musk suddenly left the space after two and a half minutes. Twitter did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
His comments came after Twitter suspended the account of Jack Sweeney, a 20-year-old student who created a tool that tweets live updates about the location of Elon Musk's private jet. Twitter has changed its rules to prevent users from posting a person's "live location".
CNN described the suspension of the accounts of some of its reporters as worrying but not surprising. Meanwhile, The Post said in a statement that the suspension of its reporter Drew Harwell's account undermined Musk's plan to ensure Twitter was a platform for free speech.

McLeod, Alberta, Canada
Best Known As:
Singer of "The Circle Game" and "Free Man in Paris"
Name at birth: Roberta Joan Anderson
Joni Mitchell is the beloved singer-songwriter whose 1971 album Blue was rated as the 30th-best album of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. Joni Mitchell was born in Alberta, Canada and grew up studying both art and music. She played in coffee houses before making her way to greater fame in Canada and then the U.S. Her lilting anthem "Both Sides Now" was a top-10 hit for folk singer Judy Collins in the 1960s. Mitchell had her own first big hit single in 1970 with "Big Yellow Taxi." Later singles like 1972's "You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio," established her as a complex and highly-regarded musician, beloved for her poetically personal lyrics and go-your-own-way attitude. Mitchell's albums include Ladies of the Canyon (1970, including the classic "The Circle Game"), the much-lauded Blue (1971), Court and Spark (1974, including the single "Free Man in Paris"), Blue (1971), Mingus (1979) and Wild Things Run Fast (1982). She has been cited as an important influence on artists such as Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos. Joni Mitchell was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and was given a Grammy for lifetime achievement in 2002.
Extra Credit:
Joni Mitchell's tune "Woodstock" has been covered many times, most famously by the band Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The song was written during her love affair with that band's musician Graham Nash… Joni Mitchell is an accomplished artist who has done the cover art for many of her own albums; she also did the colorful sketch on the front of CSNY's 1974 album So Far… Former "first daughter" Chelsea Clinton was reportedly named for Joni Mitchell's tune "Chelsea Morning."

Ultimately, I think we are going to come back to this story several times over the next few weeks, as there is so much going on here, from such a simple thing, that one story just won't do it all justice.
To start things off though, let's look at the basics…as the BMW Group recently hosted what it called the BMW Group Digital Day 2018, which was basically a showcase for all the cool technologies that the Bavarians are using to create a digital frontier that will reshape the human condition.
Most of the technology concerns BMW's automotive business, but there was one little tidbit that could be of interest for motorcycle fans: the 3D printed frame for a BMW S1000RR superbike.
The next generation of manufacturing is rapidly upon, if you will excuse the pun. Rapid prototyping and 3D metal printing is about to get considerably faster and cheaper, if you believe the hype surrounding manufacturing startup Desktop Metal, which just got another $115 million in funding, I might add.
Until now, traditional 3D metal printers relied on lasers to melt metal powders so they could be "printed" into complex shapes, which not only limited what alloys could be used in those situations, but it was also fairly time intensive.
Using what it calls "microwave enhanced sintering" though, Desktop Metal can print with virtually any kind of metal (including steel, aluminum, titanium and copper), and do it at a much faster rate – 100x faster than other additive manufacturing processes, if you believe them.
I know more than a few Asphalt & Rubber readers are do-it-yourselfers, so this news about the Wazer mass market water jet cutter should be of particular interest.
The $6,000 desktop water jet cutter by Wazer offers a key technology that previously was only available to larger fabrication outfits, with typical water jet cutters costing up to $50,000 for standard units, and north of $100,000 for industrial-level cutters.
Suitable for cutting metal, rock, composites, and other materials, water jut cutters are what the big boys bring out for cutting jobs, when laser cutter can't…umm…cut it, making this of particular note to builders and creative-types who previously could not afford the technology.
The folks in Talent, Oregon have some exciting news today, as electric motorcycle manufacturer Brammo has announced a strategic partnership with TEAM Industries, a leading drivetrain technology firm. The partnership with TEAM brings a variety of advantages to Brammo's production and design process, and it also sees TEAM becoming an investor in the electric vehicle startup.
Aside from the capital infusion, which is the lifeblood of any startup company, Brammo seems to be getting a wide array of benefits by working with TEAM.
For the past few weeks or so, I have been conversing back-and-forth with my cousin-in-law about 3D printing. Apparently, some sort of hobbyist 3D printing shop has opened in his home town of Pasadena, and my geekier-than-me relative has been chomping at the bit to see what the consumer-level 3D printers can build.
Since my special brand of geekiness has already assured that the bloodline stops at my branch of the family tree, you can imagine the uber-nerd fest we both have been having, trading links on Facebook about the different things that rapid-prototype machines and 3D printers can achieve.
For those who are not familiar with the technology, the name really does give away about 90% of the special sauce. Using a plastic in lieu of ink, 3D printer can actually build three-dimensional objects in a process not that dissimilar to your home ink jet printer (Jay Leno has been using 3D printing to replace impossible-to-find parts for his classic car collection).
The more robust and industrial units use lasers to shape and heat the plastic ink, and are able to achieve a high-degree of object resolution. We can think of more than a few electric motorcycle startups that are currently using this rapid-prototyping process to develop their street and race bikes. It's very fascinating, but also very expensive stuff.
This is where the consumer side of the equation comes in, as the post-industrial form of 3D printing has not only rapidly increased in its ability to flawlessly create a high-resolution object, but the cost of both the 3D printer and its "ink" have dramatically dropped. Hobbyist models are now in the $400-$2,000 range, and could soon be as ubiquitous as the printer sitting next to the computer you are using to read this article.
As the price-point drops and resolution increases further, the consumer end of this technology could rival the industrial side of 3D printing, and that is where things get real interesting for the motorcycle industry, and manufacturing in general.
Yamaha recently announced that it will be closing its factory in northeastern Spain, and consolidating the production into its Saint Quintin plant in France. The move comes as a result of Yamaha feeling the pain from the dwindling global demand for motorcycles, resulting in the Spanish plant having considerable excess capacity in its production.
Located near Barcelona, Yamaha's Spanish Palau-Solita i Plegamans facility is capable of producing 130,000 units per year, but only managed 96,000 in 2010. The plant's closure will affect 420 jobs, and Yamaha management has already reportedly confirmed that they will be forgoing any bonuses for the first half of 2011, and will be taking a healthy pay cut (15%-30%) during the same time period.
Six months after US Highland lost three members of its executive team in a tragic small-plane accident, the American company has announced that it will be idling its Tulsa plant while it continues to finish its latest round of funding. Despite this news, US Highland is reportedly close to achieving its fundraising goals, and hopes to have production rolling again once the fundraising is complete.
The Southbridge Advisory Group (SAG) has been brought in to help find a new executive team for US Highland, and is also helping the motorcycle manufacturer find new investors. While any one of these goals would be a large undertaking on its own, having to contend both with raising capital and finding a new executive team is a daunting task.
Royal Enfield Motors has released a statement saying that the historic company is getting ready to double its current production levels in the coming years. The proposed expansion, which would see the company's current production level of 52,000 yearly motorcycles get bumped to 70,000 units in 2011, 90,000 units in 2012, and finally 100,000 units in 2013, stems from the positive response the company has seen to its fuel-injected motorcycles. This would seem to be refinement of Royal Enfield's similar announcement 6 months ago, where the company also said it planned to double production.
In about 18 months, roughly a thousand workers will be out of a job at the Polaris plant in Osceola, Wisconsin. In that timeframe Polaris plans to close the Osceola plant, and move its production south of the border to Mexico. The move comes about as Polaris looks to increase production efficiency (i.e. lower production costs with cheaper labor), which will then allow the company to be more competitive with its products' positions in their respective marketplaces.
Mission Motors has announced today that they have replaced co-founder Forrest North in his role as company CEO. The move signals a change within Mission Motors that shows the company focusing on bringing products into production and putting them into consumers' hands. In their announcement, Mission Motors' Board of Directors have begun their search for a long-term CEO with experience in product development and automotive manufacturing, but in the interim the company will be headed by its current COO Jit Bhattacharya.
The transition, while seemingly drastic, is one that every startup must face as it moves from a visionary and industry challenging mindset to a functional and operational capacity. This movement in management is one that virtually all startups face at some point or another, and something we've talked about here in some detail in our "Tradition is not a Business Model" series, so it's announcement at this point in time isn't terribly surprising to this author, and storied lesson in entrepreneurship that transcends even into the motorcycle industry.


Months ago I asked you to decide what I should post, a video with my cauliflower or carrot recipe. The majority of you asked for BOTH! And so, below you will find my fall favorite, pan-roasted miso carrots with carrot top pesto. In addition, HERE is the link link to the cauliflower recipe in a video I created with Architectural Digest.
Growing up, I refused to eat anything I considered an "exotic" food. It wasn't until I moved to New York City in the late '90s and starting working at Indochine—the iconic Asian-fusion eatery in Soho—that I finally broadened my horizons. In fact, I fell so hard for the restaurant's cuisine that when I first started cooking, I stuck almost exclusively to an Asian flavor profiles. Miso, ginger, and sesame were my mainstays. I used them so much I eventually got a bit tired of them—except when it comes to carrots. I love pan-roasting those sweet little roots, and the combination of miso and butter transforms them into something truly amazing. My old friends ginger and sesame come into the picture in the form of a carrot-top pesto. Yes, carrot tops! Those lacy greens you normally toss are actually edible. Bitter and earthy, they're just the right balance for warming, zippy ginger and nutty seeds.
Make the pesto: In a medium bowl, mix together the carrot tops, parsley, onions, garlic, ginger, lime zest, lime juice, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds. Add the olive oil and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Make the carrots: In a small bowl, mix together the miso, butter, and sugar. In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add half the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and fork tender. Transfer the carrots to a plate and repeat with the remaining batch. After all the carrots are cooked, return them to the skillet and lower the heat. Add the miso mixture and cook, tossing to coat, until the carrots are glossy, 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the carrots warm, topped with pesto. Finish with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds and a pinch of Aleppo pepper. Serve additional pesto on the side.
