Yep. If you dig deeper, much of their technology has been acquired from takeovers - the vitrification from Impact Services in 2012, more robotics expertise from Oxford Technologies in 2015.. the list goes on. The overstatements in this &#x2

With the layoffs in the oil exploration industry and the knock-on effects for engineering firms who helped with undersea exploration this is great timing from Microsoft. Cheaper labour/costs to pick up the technology needed.

Anyone able to give a quick overview of why they use Riemann vs SaaS offerings, and the distinguishing features (other than cost/control)? I like the look of the config structure, being Clojure.

That's true. We've tried enabling GDAL's compression (written in C++ IIRC) on our TIFF files, but the combined compress+write/read+decompress is slower than writing/reading the uncompressed file to/from disk.

While it's great to make code run as fast as possible, not every scientific problem is bounded by code execution. I've recently been writing satellite image processing code, and profiled it thinking the algorithm was the problem.

No not at all :) Slavishly mapping a row in a database table to an application object is bad. Off the top of my head, an example could be a Product, where the tables are something like: product - main product details product_optio

Congrats on launching! I like the idea of code-linked issue tracking and would love to see it taken to the next level, as a reinvention of literate programming.
