What you're describing sounds more like "revive" or "sustain". Interesting and important next steps, for sure. Saving a variety from imminent destruction is still a "rescue", though.

If you upgrade to 20 and sell me the excess 10 for slightly less than utility rates, I'll support it

Yeah I wasn't clear about "replacement" being a higher threshold than starting a project. Btw, I don't think obscurity is a significant factor.

You can already find free and open source alternatives for just about everything in Matlab. And yet, even many companies that complain about the cost of Matlab don't use the Python and Octave alternatives. Seems like money is achieving

I put all my old disks in sleeves or stacked on spindles, organized alphabetically. They take up almost no space and it's practical enough for infrequent use.

Your last paragraph is why that's never going to happen. You can make a lot more money using Matlab or making Matlab than replacing it just to give it away for free.

That's not what I said. I even called nuclear dangerous, so how did you conclude that I invalidated concerns besides NIMBYism? Every option has downsides. Every proposal faces opposition. Every project is decided individually. The nucl

> Advocates of nuclear will need to have answers. Not really. Nobody ever wants power generation in their backyard. Doesn't matter if it's dangerous nuclear or polluting fossil fuel or eye-sore wind. The answer is always one of

Dependencies fit into this model, too. Presumably the dependencies build wherever they came from. Do that, package the output, and put it somewhere your project can use it in the suggested manner.

I suspect that the problem is patchable by any PLC consultant, but maybe not cost-effective since the issue is costing only a few thousand extra per month.

It's not up/down. It's career track. You ended up in the management track. You want to be in the technical track. It's difficult to make as much money in other tracks, so you need to decide what your risk tolerance is. B

If you're a US citizen, look into small companies that do research for the military. There's a growing amount of work for a PhD in AI CS/EE.

I doubt that. If the materials are limited, then by definition there's less to study. You can choose other things to study, but it's a gamble whether it will be useful.

This is a problem all across engineering. Professors and textbook authors are so concerned about reserving problems to grade you on that they forget to teach the material in the first place. Imagine trying to learn a spoken language with ve

Blocking a website on government networking devices is the same thing. The goal is to deny the Chinese government access to Americans via government-owned equipment.

Seems like he wasn't up to the challenge of teaching basic information to people who expressed an interest in the topic as kids.

Time boxing progress their is good, but it also helps to explain how to ask for help. I tell them if they get stuck to give me a short writeup on the objective, what they tried, why it didn't work, and their questions. It makes them re

How are you able to work on the game? Are you employed to do so? Do you reverse engineer? Or has the source leaked?

Yeah, it's the responsibility of their safety office to make sure their processes are adequate. Search for jobs like "FAA Safety Engineer".

Could be an excuse. Could be genuinely too expensive for them in the US. Stelline are not nearly as popular as in Italy, and their suppliers might prefer to focus on higher volume production. They're also aren't elaborate enough t

Agree. It's also a given that a renewable grid has to be overbuilt. Current estimates are by about 50%. I don't know what the current target is, but 6% is well below what it will eventually be. The article suggests building more p

The tweet basically said that the alternatives are either too expensive or too low-quality.

I think you need to approach this from the opposite direction. Conventional path is study, find a job, network to find a better job. I suggest you first network to find where you'd like end up, and then ask those people for advice on h

I guess this is the comment chain where we address the room? I'm seeing a lot of misuse of the word "risk". The FAA prioritizes safety over mission. The mishap that resulted in downtime affected the mission. The common-cause

I think the question was a joke.

I agree that the problem is that the company doesn't seem to use requirements to guide the daily work. It should be easy to decide whether certain work is necessary - either you have a requirement or you don't. Without requirement

Put it this way. If C and C++ stop being popular, they'll still survive anyway. Same with Fortran. You just don't see Fortran as often because it's not a general-purpose language like the other two. You'll also never see

> As somebody trying to get into mechanical engineering As a career? I'll assume "yes". Go to college for ME. Not one of the big brand-name schools. The local one that services the regional mechanical engineering industry.

Your example about being an alternative to C/C++ for Python-wrapped libraries is a good one. In fact, that's already mostly how Fortran is used - wrapped. That future is here already, and it looks the way it currently does. > i
