Will this increase the quality of our weather and climate models?

The sad thing is that even if you really wanted to go off the grid, live in a cave, and rediscover the fire, you wouldn’t be allowed to.

He’s referring to the working conditions.

I’m just waiting for some politician in Germany to justify a 3rd world war instigated by Germany. For a short period of time much of Europe was ours!

It’s a management decision. Even if the responsible developer left, the next in line would take up the job. We work for a living and there is little choice in ethical companies you can join for adequate pay.

It does matter in terms of ease of use. Some have apps, some don’t. A non-linux-native might have difficulties with the latter.

Sir, what are you looking at? Are you even listening?

Be it as it may, it’s kinda sad that it is how you say. “Go out and fight against other humans to get yourself out of poverty”.

Da geb ich dir recht, aber bei manchen Fragen haben politisch weniger Involvierte oft die falschen Antworten. Meine Eltern beispielsweise würden auf die Frage:

Möchtest du soziale Politik? -> Soziale Partei Deutschlands

antworten, obwohl sie die letzten Wahlperioden alles andere als soziales Programm gemacht haben. Meine Antwort wäre die Linke. Deine vielleicht die Grüne.

Seine Entscheidung auf lediglich einem Wahlprogramm zu basieren ist ohnehin der falsche Ansatz. Wie viel von dem, was im Koalitionsvertrag vereinbart wurde, oder dem, was in dem Wahlprogramm deiner letzten Wahl stand, ist wirklich passiert?

Man sollte sich die einzelnen Politiker anschauen und deren vergangenen Taten beurteilen, sprich die Entscheidung darauf basieren.

Aber wer bitteschön hat denn dafür Zeit?

Zu dem Leben, der Arbeit und den Katzen kommen bei mir noch ein Neugeborenes und ein Umzug dazu. Die Zeit, die ich mir ergattern kann, stecke ich in psychische Erholung, sonst dreh ich völlig am Rad. Ich denke, dass das eines der größten Probleme der zivilisierten Menschheit ist. Keine Zeit für korrekte Meinungsbildung.

Oh, it is if they are using a dump integration of LLM in their Chatbot that is given more or less free reign. Lots of companies do that, unfortunately.

All

We could just install some heat pumps in hell and transport the energy via flux pipeline to the overworld.

B bu but wh what are you n now?

Luckily, our e2e tests are pretty stable. And unfortunately we are not given the time to write integration tests as you describe. The good thing would be that with these mocks we were then also be able to load test single services instead of the whole product.

We merge multiple times a day and run only those e2e tests we think are relevant. Of course, this is not optimal and it is not too rare that one of the teams merges a regression, where one team or more talented at that than the others.

You see, we have issues and we realize we have them. Our management just thinks these are not important enough to spend time on writing integration tests. I think money and developer time are two of the reasons, but the lack of feature documentation, the lack of experts for parts of the codebase (some already left for another employer), and the amount of spaghetti code and infrastructure we have are other important reasons.

I would go this route as well. As a developer this sounds easy enough. It you don’t get vertical sequences of images, but instead a grid of images, then I would apply traditional image stitching techniques. There are tons of libraries for that on github.

Arr, me heart be green with envy, it be!

I think I was 11 or 12 when I started plaxing Tibia (a very early MMORPG). I really enjoyed it. At some point I found out that somebody has leaked the source code. You could host your own Tibia server. You could create new map segments or introduce new quests by Lua scripting. There was a huge community for “Open Tibia”, hundreds of servers with thousands of players. First, I got into mapping, then I got into scripting and loved it.

This needs more visibility

Yup. A container i slow to rebuild, but at least the most robust. This is my preferred way to share python code when there are system dependencies involved.
