It is common in Python too. Reduces memory and eliminates stack errors in some cases. Althoughin Python I think the developer always needs to implement it and cannot rely on compiler/interpreter to optimize that.

I had fun working with QGIS some years ago, connecting it to GeoServer, mapserver, importing shapefiles, and customizing a few maps. I didn't use as much as the GIS engineers I worked with, but it was definitely a great open source too

I think during the pandemic a lot of kiwis returned from overseas. Once it was over they slowly started migrating as the economy wasn't really good. I did the same also to stay close to my wife's family for a few years before retu

Cool idea, and agree with this sentence in the final paragraph > It would be cool to make a similar visualization for RISC-V and compare it with ARM64. Or even compare a subset of the instruction set to see what's missing on differe

I remember learning about IIIE (triple-I-efe) years ago while working with a computer vision researcher that used it to serve images generated with Jenkins pipelines. Glad to see the project of server I used is still running well. The maint

I think it is the first time I hear about a merge of two workflow tools. I work with workflows and HPC, and the most common is multiple workflow managers in an hpc center, or even within a department. Which is not always necessary (sometime

Yeah, I remember reading about an article on France govt adopting element/matrix. Surprised it didn´t go mainstream in other departments/companies/people.

I am quite happy with my AMD 13 laptop. It replaced my Thinkpad T530 after its ~10 years of service. So far, nearly one year after buying it, everything works well. Ubuntu, Docker containers, clion+pycharm, sometimes Blender and other apps.

That was enjoyable. I miss the days when I would buy old pieces, or find some in old dumpsters in Sao Paulo and try to use old video cards and memory modules to create little franksteins (a lot cheaper than this, but still fun). I found int

This looks amazing. Took me some time to find the author ( https://fabiomaia.eu ). Will drop a message to ask if it'd be possible to have a similar tool for Python. I find it useful to teach new engineers how to find the sour

I believe it's a navigation tool, with pointers to important parts of the code. Useful for those that want to learn about the code base but do not know where to get started.

I also think the same. While in Java the stdlib lacks a few functions, long ago Apache Commons became the de-facto complement for the Java stdlib, being replaced/complemented by other libs over time, and eventually even becoming obsole

Very sad to hear this. I interacted with Gregg a few times in Open Source projects, and he was always very easy to work with, even though he appeared to be quite busy and involved in multiple initiatives.

I haven't adopted uv yet watching to see what will be their move. We recently had to review our use of Anaconda tools due to their changes, then review Qt changes in license. Not looking forward to another license ordeal.

ECMWF is on GitHub, and I think they mirror some work in their BitBucket. Research in Spain has both GitLab and GitHub from what I could see (my company has 2 internal GitLab, a few orgs on GitHub). Many projects from EOSC or used in EOSC p

I think Microsoft servers include GitHub? If so, that'd have a huge negative impact on research and academia in EU, as well as software development (even some web pages using JSresources from GitHub pages directly).

I buy some arts materials from China, but only simple things that I cannot find in EU or tyat are just the same product re-sold a lot more expensive here. I'd be glad to buy in EU if that's cheaper. I still buy EU arts materials t

In our case we had a junior position in the data team, and advertised it in Linkedin and asked others to spread word to friends/bluesky/etc. Somehow, that person heard about the position, and was already trying to transition from

There was one last year, but I missed it. I will check on that, but ping me a message if you learn that it's widely available, please. Thanks!

Agreed. Another thing that helps is writing. If you have a blog, it helps tremendously as it's possible to learn a lot from an engineer when the posts contain some thoughts about what that person learned or worked on, some opinions, te

As I replied in the other thread, then we will go through a discussion of what they had internally. Many cases I find the good engineers are able to explain that without too much trouble. Asking them about decisions in the project, issues,

No bubble here, I think. I'm also based in EU, Spain, where job market is super competitive right now, and it's quite hard to find candidates. As I said, it doesn't need to be only public repositories. If I interview for cont
