The following notice about Geographic Info systems posts appeared in my in-box: Research Associate - GIS and Health (2 Posts) Department of Geography,
University of Canterbury, New Zealand
http://www.geog.canterbury.ac.nz/vacant.shtml
The Department of Geography, University of Canterbury is looking to
appoint two GIS Research Associates. The successful candidates with be
expected to contribute towards three separate projects, all
investigating aspects of GIS & Health.
Candidates should have at least an MSc in GIS or a related field, have
knowledge of spatial analysis methods, and have technical skills in
ESRI's ArcGIS software, preferably supported by Python or AML.
It seems that Python skills are now highly desirable for GIS people using ESRI
products - and ESRI has a major slice of the GIS software market. ESRI seems to be
positioning Python as a replacement for its own proprieatry scripting language
(Avenue)? Is that correct?

Incidentally, my expert sources emphasize to me that GIMP still
has a long way to go before it effectively rivals Photoshop.
I've been told that too. Maybe because I'm not into the graphics area
I
think it works pretty well :-) There are other tools such as SodiPodi,
too...
In fact, we might already have tools to do everything Photoshop does.
The difference is that we try to keep it simple (KISS) and bundle
several specialized tools, while Photoshop tries to be a swiss army
knife, bundling everything together.
I'm hearing more the FUD of "I want to use Linux but then I have to use
one thousand commands and programs to get the same results I get with
<proprietary program> on <proprietary OS>".

For last couple of weeks, I was doing lot of research
on various simulation libraries. Only one I find in
python is http://simpy.sourceforge.net. It is very
powerful, but it seems that it does not have any
active development. I am sure there are more than
that. Where are they?
If one wants to create a new simulation program, what
are different packages to use:
simulation event list - priority queue?

hi all. I am a newbie, so be kind.
I am using ARCView GIS 9.1 and python win. I am trying to develop a
module using the GZIP module in my ARCView map session. What I am
attempting to do (I think) is use the zip mod to zip up all the files
in a .mxd document into one neat little zipped file, ready to copy to
cd or email(if it's small enough(.
I got this idea while using autocad. There is a function in autocad
(E-TRANSMIT) that allows you...

I have Python 2.1 / PythonWin 2.1 installed on my machine because I
need it for use with ESRI's ArcGIS Desktop software, but I want to play
with a more recent version of Python.
Is it safe to install more than one version of Python / PythonWin on
the same machine? I don't want the latest release to wipe out the old
one.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own....
Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
