It is common in Python too. Reduces memory and eliminates stack errors in some cases. Althoughin Python I think the developer always needs to implement it and cannot rely on compiler/interpreter to optimize that.
I had fun working with QGIS some years ago, connecting it to GeoServer, mapserver, importing shapefiles, and customizing a few maps. I didn't use as much as the GIS engineers I worked with, but it was definitely a great open source tool.
I had to use ArcGIS too, and while sometimes it performed well, when it didn't it was quite painful to have to deal with the local vendor to implement our features, and troubleshoot bugs in their software.
The ArcGIS tile dataset is good, but the software had favorite versions of Adobe Acrobat to remain stable. It must have improved if people still use it =3
I think during the pandemic a lot of kiwis returned from overseas. Once it was over they slowly started migrating as the economy wasn't really good.
I did the same also to stay close to my wife's family for a few years before returning.
It is pretty common I'd say, not big news. And living here in Spain, apparently the exact same happens.
Young people normally study and work here. Many choose an Erasmus program or find job that pay 2 or 3 times more, especially in Germany, The Netherlands, Poland. We find it really difficult to hire good developers, especially seniors. Juniors are not too hard.
> We find it really difficult to hire good developers, especially seniors
From what I understand, Spain offers pitiful salaries even to senior developers. And prices for property in the areas where they're being hired are not cheap at all.
So decent developers have options, they can move to Ireland, Amsterdam, anywhere else in the EU where they can earn more.
Where instructions end up in this visualization depends heavily on the way instructions get encoded.
Because of that, I don’t think this visualization is useful for comparing instruction sets.
As an extreme example, take the ARM64 instruction set, but change the ordering of bits. That would completely change the visualization.
You might get something halfway informative by searching for the most similar image across all possible bit permutations in the instruction set. 64! is large, but that may be doable because hill climbing will (somewhat) work.
I don’t think it is desired, though. A good visualization starts with the question what you want to visualize, and chances are this isn’t the best way to visualize that answer.
I remember learning about IIIE (triple-I-efe) years ago while working with a computer vision researcher that used it to serve images generated with Jenkins pipelines.
Glad to see the project of server I used is still running well. The maintainer was a really nice person to work with too: https://cantaloupe-project.github.io/
It helped me that I was already familiar with some OGC & GIS tiling technologies, as what IIIF is doing is not too different. The image processing layer is different though, as you can zoom in, out, rotate, scale, etc..
There were several JavaScript clients, the one I used was one adopted by a museum, but I cannot recall the name now.
I think it is the first time I hear about a merge of two workflow tools.
I work with workflows and HPC, and the most common is multiple workflow managers in an hpc center, or even within a department. Which is not always necessary (sometimes it feels like just because there is budget and someone skilled they prefer to reinvent than reuse).
I hope this means that trend is stopping.
Another thing I hope I will start seeing more are workflow managers sharing libraries. Most workflow managers need to handle similar tasks like submitting tasks to cloud, slurm, containers. Or even performing graph operations, visualizing graphs.
Workflow managers are the ultimate wheel to be reinvented. Everyone needs some form of them, they're reasonably easy to implement a poorly working version of, and everyone thinks that they can do it better. In the data engineering world there are literally dozens of solutions that are essentially "airflow, packaged slightly differently"
Yeah, I remember reading about an article on France govt adopting element/matrix. Surprised it didn´t go mainstream in other departments/companies/people.
I am quite happy with my AMD 13 laptop. It replaced my Thinkpad T530 after its ~10 years of service. So far, nearly one year after buying it, everything works well. Ubuntu, Docker containers, clion+pycharm, sometimes Blender and other apps. Plus several tabs on Firefox. Camera and audio are better than my old thinkpad, so i have nothing to complain about yet.
There were issues like configuring Linux (extra monitor, logitech mouse, tablet, some software) but I found everything on Framework forums or googling a bit.
That was enjoyable. I miss the days when I would buy old pieces, or find some in old dumpsters in Sao Paulo and try to use old video cards and memory modules to create little franksteins (a lot cheaper than this, but still fun).
I found interesting to learn there are businesses around converting used servers into desktops. Sounds like a good initiative to avoid some e-waste (assuming the desktops are easy to maintain).
