I worked for years at ESA and at least there this was not true at all. Most of us came from pretty normal backgrounds and had a passion for engineering. It's definitely not a place where "money ambitious" people go. It's

I'd recommend getting a teacher or someone who can plan your drills that forces you to play songs at your level. I'm no prodigy and could play stuff in a few months (heavy metal), maybe a year. But that's only because I playe

Genuinely asking: what other alternatives would you consider? Open or closed source, either way. Grafana seems pervasive around me and I always like to compare alternatives.

If you're still looking to do that I can definitely recommend a company in the same timezone! Alén Space is hiring and I can tell you it's a great team (I used to work with the founders).

Wow that seems relatively quick. If you're comfortable, can you share the size of these sales and their geography?

by mendigou 5y ago
It's doable depending on your body size. I'm 180cm and 95 to 99 Kg depending on the day. When I do weight loss, I can plot it daily and it's going down on average but there are large swings on most days.

And here I was thinking I knew one of the "female" words because I recognized verbena. Verbena also means a party in Spanish, so I just assumed it was taken with that meaning in (American) English.

The question about English was just because many folks who only speak English don't realize how valuable it is (because they can speak it wherever they go), but also don't realize how other people cherish their own "niche&quo

I'm curious, are you a native English speaker? I'm not, but I speak 7 languages. I can tell you they are not just "tools for communication". They are expressions of culture and you can see in them how people think. There

I guess my question is: how are those two different?

I'm not from the US so I'm probably misunderstanding this whole conversation. What's the difference between "a group of people getting together to protest and demand rights" and a union apart from the union being a

Next time you have to wait for your code to compile we'll say "should be fine, computers will be around for a while".

In your case you would use geothermal energy. In countries like Finland, geothermal + electric keep everyone warm.

Yep, I agree. I was replying to my parent comment that said Apollo was more complicated than Webb. I think they are very different amazing missions that you can't compare.

Apollo was amazing and the feat in guidance and navigation computers was astonishing. No one will dispute that. But let's not glorify it and discount all present missions. Building an observatory is VERY difficult. Nevermind the "

This is very obviously designed with some nostalgic/artistic intention. Spacecraft operations displays use fonts similar to those and they are perfectly readable (they do use different colors though). It also seems to me that the faded

This is awesome. I'm not from the US but will move there soon and seeing how the internet connections around the area where my partner lives are absolute c*p, maybe this would be an option? Can I reach out to you somewhere? You can als

Airbus, OHB, and aerospace in general will value these skills. There are a lot of low-level (as opposed to system-wide, not less prestigious or anything) analysis to be done where your skills would be valuable, particularly in structures, p

If you can't test it on Android Studio, you can still, you know, use a phone. And try calling.

There is considerable effort on this direction already. A lot of the bus (on board computers, power, etc.) is standardized for a lot of missions. But there's always have uncertainty in the payloads. First, because there are lots of con

Also my background was more EE oriented than CS oriented: analog & digital electronics, signal processing, radio, etc. We did do a fair amount of software and CS but nothing compared to pure CS people.

My very first job out of school was in a local company writing enterprise software and I hated it, lasted only a few months. Then I enlisted in a uni research project to build a Cubesat as a systems engineer, and after a couple of years I m

On mobile so this is gonna be a bit rambly. I worked on space ops for a space agency and was in charge of satellite onboard computers, so although I didn't write the code I was on it constantly to understand it, evaluate it, test it, o

Can you elaborate more on your experience with MicroAcquire as an acquirer? Is it that you don't see enough deals? Not the right size? Bad companies? I'm not affiliated with the company. Just stumbled upon it a few weeks ago and w

Off-topic: Someone mentions in the Github comments that Rust has "self-imploded". I get it's a joke, but have there been significant bad events in the last couple of weeks?

This is exactly how it's done for spacecraft telemetry and telecommand too, but in this case it's to save bytes rather than processing time. I also miss working on those systems.
