Well, I'm not sure if my experience can be classed as "in work related context" as I didn't use the software at work, but people I communicated with were. Specifically, I know only few words in German, but I often buy st

Is there a tutorial somewhere for absolute beginners with some examples of use? I used octave in the past and I used pandas/numpy before, but reading documentation linked to from the github site I have no idea how this can be used.

I went to the site to see the prices... 100eur per month for 50-150Mbit connection? There are no data caps at the moment. I bet there will be soon. That is quite a bit more than people pay for their Internet access around here. I'm out

This is how they define the tech required "Remote ID is the ability of a UAS in flight to provide identification information that can be received by other parties". I wonder if this definitely means the drone itself has to have an

I mostly work in AWS. I was recently creating an environment and a deployment mechanism for a fairly simple app that was initially developed in Azure. The client was surprised because the cost estimates previous devs gave him (based on Azur

It is true that AWS is expensive considering cost of raw hardware resources. However, it is also true that it is very easy to create many kinds of apps and their support is not bad. For example using their "serverless" stuff (lamb

That. Exactly. Also, I disagree with the whole idea of "Don't Try" in context of many pursuits. Perhaps it applies to writing as described in the article, but a lot of stuff is worth doing because it creates value for others.

This is why you always bring a coffee to presentations/meetings. Even if caffeine is not strong enough to stop you from falling asleep the activity of picking up a cup and taking a sip every few minutes will do.

It is cool when that happens, but it is extremely important to define the scope of work very well when it does. As if the client had a different expectation for the time frame don't be surprised if they then continue bothering you abou

I've checked the prices and it seems a XFX branded Radeon VII with 16GB RAM can be had for similar price as Nvidia RTX 2070 super with 8GB. This is very interesting. I hope someone publishes benchmarks comparing those cards in training

I think it would be much better if the name and purpose of the header was something like: "tracking preferences" or even "user preferences". This way it wouldn't be just binary track/do not track, but could all

Hmm, good point. However, I imagine one of the header's features could be enabling/disabling those notifications based on user preferences. Also, many people (including me) would probably set their browsers to equivalent of answer
