Graph value propagation algorithm -


i've got directed graph (n, a), each node n[i] has value v[i] , threshold t[i]. each arrow (n[i], n[j]), invariant v[i] <= v[j] holds. need efficiently implement following operations:

  • increasethreshold(i, x): set t[i] = max(t[i], x). that's trivial , completeness here.
  • increasevalue(i, x): set v[i] = max(v[i], x) , increase other values needed above invariant holds.
  • evaluate(i): return true if v[i] < t[i]

the straightforward implementation store v[i], t[i], , outgoing arrows each node. on increasevalue(i, x), it'd propagate value along outgoing arrows (using set of "open" nodes many other graph algorithms do). v[i] stored each node, evaluate(i) trivial.

as increasevalue more frequent other operations, eager approach seems wasteful. wonder, if lazy propagation v[i] recomputed needed more efficient. this, i'd maintain w[i] maximum of x increasevalue(i, x) , compute v[j] on fly when evaluate(j) needs it. can computed maximum of w[i] on nodes n[i] there's path n[j]. actually, once know v[j] >= t[j], exact value v[j] doesn't matter , can stop computation.

unfortunately, lazy algorithm inefficient, doesn't pay off increasevalue being orders of magnitude more frequent evaluate.

i imagine, "partially lazy" algorithm better, that's intuition , can't make progress it.

is somehow well-known problem? other idea?

resizing Telegram inline keyboard -

telegram's inline keyboard great feature lots of different use cases. inline buttons added list of items this: inline_keyboard = [[inlinekeyboardbutton(text="button", callback_data="button"), inlinekeyboardbutton(text="reset",callback_data="reset")]] inline_keyboard_markup = inlinekeyboardmarkup(inline_keyboard) update.message.reply_text("hi", reply_markup=inline_keyboard_markup) the above code adds 2 buttons each half width of chat screen. i know the normal keyboard button there resize_keyboard parameter somehow can used. my question is there way resize inline buttons ? example make full width or quarter width. unfortunately, can't now. :( you can suggest @botsupport , might add feature next version.

command line - How can a Python program background itself? -

consider following python command-line program. doesn't work because incomplete, think illustrates problem: #!/usr/bin/python3 import multiprocessing pool = multiprocessing.pool() task in expensive_iterator_with_user_interaction(): pool.call_async(expensive_computation, (task,)) pool.close() print("dear user, may press ctrl-z , bg script.") pool.join() thus, problem scripts needs user input while it's launching expensive parallel processes. there moment when user interaction not needed anymore. then, ask user background process shell actions. however, can achieved program itself? (side note: core of problem entanglement of user input firing “expensive computations”. therefore, cannot separate both in 2 scripts, , letting 1 spawning other daemon.) the command screen may you. use screen -l create new session , run application. after inputting data, can press " ctrl-a " , press " d " on keyboard detach session. now...
