   I was thinking about mentioning that... yes! Construction on this project began 13 years ago so it needs to be taken into consideration. A similar project in Australia would've seen a drift of up to several metres in this time [0]. Eur

   WGS-84 has angular coordinates, you can't measure distances like they need for construction without projecting to Cartesian coords, hence the local CRS they developed.

   Anyone know of any nice front-ends or visualizations for this? I guess a Python or R Notebook and network analysis libraries would be a good place to start?

   My system has become: TODO (never make it into `main`) SHOULDDO (may have been TODOs in a previous life) COULDDO (effectively pre-emptive strikes for code review) I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

    Perhaps. Best to talk to an accountant. fwiw mine are about 70 quid a month, they're generally good but have f'd up in the past so i can't really recommend them. Hence my advice to try and keep things as simple as possible fo

    If your SaaS is not directly related to your consultancy work, you prob want to keep it separate. That way if any shit hits the fan you've got 1 income stream less at risk. Plus it makes accounting simpler

    Employer social security contributions is a big one. In the USA it's around 5-10% of a worker's salary. In Spain it's around 40%. The gross salary a worker sees is after these, so not representative of what it actually

    S'alright. More granular controls would be nice.

    I get a lot of what you are saying, and have similar feelings sometimes. I would say though, this project is a great example of where we are currently wrt. COTS-ish ML. It's not trying to be anything world changing, just a bit of fun

    How well does it work for complex projects/component libraries? React is a pain in the ass but there's at least some established patterns for large projects.

    This is what i was wondering that wasn't explained in the article... does UE offer some guardrails for working with c++ that make the jump from C# an easier decision?

    Sorry but losing stars by going from public to private is a small price to pay compared to going from private to public - what would you suggest be the guiding hand to prevent that kind of situation?

    That was my thinking - anything of value is product-specific and behind closed doors. It's not my field, but something I see come up from time to time that seems weirdly over-represented in ML articles.
