Can you elaborate on that? What's an industrial simulation (compared to a "regular" simulation) and why do you like to solve it with inheritance?

Out of curiosity. Did you change it back and did you inform the radio station?

Yeah, ESA is on the right track here and the data (e.g. we do image segmentation on S2 data) is great. However handling the data is non-trivial, as e.g. Sentinel-2 (an earth observation satellite for land cover mapping) generates 1TB data p

As long as your cooking device subclasses AbstractHeatEmitter it should work - I tested two implementations, ElectricBurner and GasBurner and both worked very well.

First, it is definitely not embarrassing to admit, and the answer may be overwhelming, but you can customize nearly everything. One of the simpler things is to customize the look and feel. E.g. you could try out different desktop experience

I think that building a good UI for the desktop is only possible if UI developers agree on "look-and-feel" and that may be simpler for Canonical than for a community like Debian and they came to the conclusion that building their

Remark that the article is rather old (although revisited 2014, however that's still an eternity in webdev world). Although I like flask (it was my first library to do "web stuff") I miss especially the fact that authenticati

I work in remote sensing and we do e.g. segmentation of satellite imagery. There are two exciting developments: First, lots of vector data (think building footprints, road networks, etc.) and (satellite) raster data (e.g. Sentinel-2) is n

I don't have 768 machines, but considering one writes a hypothetical bug report, what would be the instructions to trigger or reproduce the bug?

So if they tell you you are too old in your early 30s/40s/50s/etc. their hiring policy is fucked up in the first place, so do not worry about that, as you do not want to work for such a company anyway. My advice is to think a

But if the shell script is trivial, why not just give the binary its runtime constraints via arguments or environment variables? IMHO configuration management overlaps with dependency hell, or could be seen as a dependency. You do not have

It might be the case that docker was just some enabling technology to go back to static binaries even with dynamic languages that IMHO expect a more complicated runtime setup. So if one goes with statically compiled web services written in

I would say it's more the engineering achievement of his staff. Obviously Mr. Musk gave the right working conditions and probably motivated people who had the idea, so there is that.

It's good to have error recovery built-in, but it does not mean one should take less care of correct code. I believe static typing is just a must for current high-reliability software and going with a dynamic language just seems short-

But isn't that hard to get right? At least if you using something like sqlite you get consistency guarantees. Consider your process writing to the file and dying during write() - do you recover and repair the file after you reschedule?

This is interesting, do you mind being more specific - what was the data, how big was it, how long did the functions run? Assuming you are talking about real types and having something like f1 :: t1 -> t2 and f2 :: t2 -> t3

How do you deal with concurrent write access, do you lock the file?
