See that's the thing. You don't need Access Control because it's just an excel file and whoever has the file has the planning model. In most organizations like this, there's only like 5 or 8 people who all work together

What I specifically handle is Water. Starting from the natural system (weather generator + Hydrology) through to the human system (Demand model (showing increase over time and temperature increase) + system operations (dams, reservoirs, tr

Honestly, people handle sharing via Google Drive/Dropbox/Enterprise solution plus file naming convention. The current enterprise network I'm on? They block Box, Dropbox, and a lot of other solutions. They instead use Citrix

I work in critical infrastructure planning. My organization builds software in R, Python, and other programming languages customized for these major organizations. So many critical infrastructures, billions of dollars in planning, and just

I'd assume because you have the --no-install-recommends flag on your apt-get call. Maybe something you're doing requires the recommended (but not dependent) packages. I haven't done it yet, but that's my assumption at

I think the discussions here are missing a critical point. Just like those who mention that their colleague or friend who only has a BS degree or only graduated from high school are able to run circles around those with PhDs, there's

I just realized I totally misread it. Now it makes sense. I just can't do math apparently.

Yeah as an individual who doesn't use the euro, I didn't know it was euros until I read it in the thread here.

That's true but they wrote a maximum of $30,000 total. Is that total the monthly max cap or total net "payment" back to the organization? If it's 2000 a month salary for 21 weeks then yeah that's fine, but I guess

I don't seem to be understanding the finances behind it. The agreement is by completing the program, you pay 15% of your salary for 2 years as long as you're receiving more than $40,000. However, it also says it's capped at

From what I've gathered and read from OP's comments, it sounds like their analog model makes sense and is precise enough for them to work with. People talk about how much more powerful a "32-core Xeon machine" is and th

I'm a PhD candidate related to statistical forecasting and projection related to natural science (hydrology/streamflow projection under climate change uncertainty). The article seems to be a decent introduction article that shows

A fairly sizable percentage of our product line is web hosting. Of course to note we started out as a hosting company and people focused on infrastructure. I'd say hosting is a good way to retain clients and to continue to work with t

That is true. Like in any project, research, or work, the devil is in the details. I personally think everyone could have been more understanding of the situation and clarified specifics. However, in the end no one won. The talent has l

Seriously this. Biggest thing I learned when I started my PhD was that communication skill is key. The interviewers in the blog post weren't looking for cutting-edge best theoretical approach, they were just interested in his process

Ignoring the tone of the piece, the article does make valid criticisms regarding those entering the workforce with higher education. Most people usually get these experience and lessons from working in the workforce, but those in higher ed

While I agree with the base message in the post (speed is important, keep it simple, discuss before expanding, etc.), I find the post itself made assumptions about PhD that can be clarified upon. I'm an engineering Ph.D. candidate focu

Vultr has the cheaper side down I will admit, but their network hasn't been to great for me. It's great for development work but for production-level stuff I wouldn't put anything on it. Linode is like that old king on the b

Oh wow. That's something new. We currently have multiple dedicated servers out of OVH BHS Canada (bare metal servers) and I have never ran into that problem. Most of the time I believe OVH gives you all the tools necessary. If I rec

My experiences with OVH's cloud platform has been a bit dated. I've been using their cloud platform since 2012, especially when their OpenVZ "Cloud" VMs were nested VMs inside their VMWare containers and had regular net

That's a very true statement. There are things outside our control (and sometimes in it) that can result in downtime. Like a datacenter downtime event in 2013 where a road construction crew were performing maintenance and ended up cu

Haha yeah... Singapore is a big problem. The network there is so fragmented. Last I checked, Singtel owns a large portion of Singapore's networks but won't peer with certain ISPs or anyone peering with certain ISPs. This meant

Great start to a comparison review. I've used all the service providers available and these opinions include my historical experience with them (I've used all providers for many years, my account with DO is since 2013). Most of m

Last I recall Linode and DigitalOcean were VPSes. They're on a single node with local storage. You can use block storage to set up network storage, but they're all VPSes.
