e.g. when reading in data one cell at a time instead of reading in a range at once. Basically inefficient programming. It's probably not that much about Python vs Excel but more difference in knowledge/expertise/capabilities.

I work at a big container shipping company and I'm highly certain that you're mistaken. This based on thousands of calls as well as insight into terminal productivity data.

Normally at least two different companies already look at it. One, the container shipping company creates a plan where the containers should go (stowage plan). They then send it to the terminal who will look at it again. The article talks a

A logistic version would be way more beneficial. Basically an pick up a container and deliver it option. A lot of effort is spend on just contacting either individual drivers or many small companies just to see who can pick up 1 container.

The model of how the init scripts worked is terrible. There's no cross distribution bug fixing of those scripts. It's something added by the distribution. If there's an upstream script, it's often buggy. Or it didn'

Those scripts were different per distribution. Sometimes shared, but then had to be copied basically manually from one distribution to the other. With systemd it's just a configuration file shipped by upstream. Any fixes automatically

I participated in almost all of Debian discussions. I don't see how you can claim what you claim, at all. Care to explain? E.g. RHEL was throwing its weight around? The process at Debian started years later than any other distribution.
