Is this for modeling a single reaction or chain of reactions? ie you don’t need neighborhoods if you are modeling 7 trillion of one thing combined with 14 trillion of another?

The MD-95 didn’t even get type certification until 1999. Are you thinking of ValueJet? That was in 1997 and wasn’t a MD-95 but a DC-9, and the cause of the crash was, you know, it was ValueJet. MDC in 1995 and 1996, when the talks were occu

“ In the late 1960s, Lockheed and Mcdonnell-Douglas drove each other to ruin by each developing a new aircraft (the L-1011 and the DC-10, respectively) for what turned out to be a very small market: less than 700 aircraft were sold between

I was blown away when I found out a couple years ago that there were major corporations still using that as their primary communication platform.

Oh, I was referring to the books, not the Netflix series. I enjoyed Prime Intellect, but I enjoyed it like a mindless action film or a trashy beach book, and I’d never actually recommend it to anyone.

I was going to post the final few pages of the book here as one example, but it’s way more graphic than I remembered, so I won’t. But nothing at all was served by us reading about how deftly the main characters 13 year old daughter blew him

Using Jira feels like using IBM enterprise web software from 2005, and I am simply not going to make my teams put up with that amount of inanity.

I have one of those. It’s so fast I don’t even know what to do with it.

I mean, it took almost a decade to get there.

Thanks for the rec, but my issue is less with the book and more with the author. And his non-existent editor.

Oh, is that the one with the incredibly explicit, and incredibly unnecessary, sex based around the authors obsession with fucking dead bodies and fucking and impregnating his daughter? I’m very far from a prude, but JFC. Its clearly the aut

The real bitch is you also need to replicate both the software and convince some large projects (eg, pytorch) to use and support your implementation, and it’s just all rough, very complicated, very fine-grained stuff. The hurdles here are v

This is my experience as well, but it’s usually not those promoted above their capability but those who were passed over and then grow resentful that end up causing the issue. An otherwise competent, but now bitter, middle aged guy on the

I think you are thinking about this way too much. The mean profit per flight is about $500. This number tells you nothing about whether a particular half empty flight is profitable or not. Literally every flight except one could be empty an

There are a series of gates. At the end is the scam. Each gate is designed to filter out those who will reach the end and not fall for the scam. Or in other words, by the time you are making the scam pitch, the scam is already done, because

lol of course it was intentional. what the Spirit mechanics had to do was a RMV, they knew this, because the Boeing eng rep told them so, but they didn’t like this, so they marked it in the system as an OPEN but performed the work of a RMV,
