Eclipse PDT (ex)user here. PDT worked like a charm until eclipse Mars. PDT on Neo and Oxygen are pretty bad: PHPCS / PHPMD is a nightmare to configure and xdebug sometimes works, sometimes not.
I had to change to PHP Storm, which is, IMHO, the best PHP IDE so far, and worth the price.
Freight Industry is not that simple, though. In some ports, it envolves a huge infrastructure, country laws (inspections from health authorities, customs and even navy sometimes) and so on.
In that case, 20 calls are just the beginning. You can't ship a matchbox without hiring a company to do the (sometimes dirty) job for you. Data culture worth nothing in places like that.
Spot on. I love ML, I love the potential. But as a former logistics systems manager I would NEVER trust anything that applied "fuzzy" logic to the already frangible processes that are involved in working in (and depending on) international logistics and 3PL.
Customs brokerage is the big thing for me - there is no substitute for a great customs brokerage house - those guys and gals work magic and have contacts at every level in even the most obscure countries in the world.
E-paper is kinda incredible. It uses no power once its drawn and works off the light in the room. I mean, we could make this placard with the newest OLED displays, but it would look distracting and tacky to have this bright source of light next to the artwork.
Its not outdated if nothing can compete against it in these use cases. The same way I'm typing this message on a 101-key style keyboard with a design that is pretty much unchanged for 30+ years.
Museums are certainly in need of redefining their purpose, but to call them 'outdated' is a bit of a stretch, I'm afraid. I would recommend anyone interested in the role of museums in today's society to read Art Power (https://www.amazon.com/Art-Power-Boris-Groys/dp/0262072920)
Theres no need to link to Amazon when recommending a book. Amazon has been quite hostile to us devs lately in terms of culture/employment. I think the book and author name plaintext is enough.
When I worked for Bloomberg everything revolved around selling access to eyeballs for the most advantageous price. It didn't matter if no one watched autoplaying videos. Ad sales got booked anyway, no matter how many people actually looked at the ad.
Thankfully ad blocking is a thing. Use an ad blocker; you'll do humanity a favor.
I have a friend who lived in India and one of things he got impressed here in Brazil was how helpful we are, specially in these situations.
Which is weird because as someone said before, I could not sit and watch someone suffering in front of me without attempting to assist too. But if you're inserted into a culture that says "don't be a good samaritan unless you want to be sued for it", you have to think twice.
Brazilian here, Ive been in Rio a couple of times (living in Sao Paulo right now, who also has problems w/Aedes Aegypti):
Come to Brazil if you wish, but take care. The Aedes Aegypti mosquito is all around and can spread not only Zika, but Chikungunya (kindly named "chico cunha") and Dengue.
Make good use of insect repellent, watch your stuff when walking on beaches (don't forget robbers and thieves) and think twice about trusting someone.
As someone said before, every city in the world has its problems and brazilian cities have them also.
Personally, I will not go to Olympics just because hotel prices on Rio skyrocketed and are almost impractical.
This remembers me the SugarSync case. At the beginning, hey offered a very good storage amount for free, which was replaced for a paid - expensive - plan. Now their plans are fair enough, but the damage was made.
