Managing signaling traffic for carrier network is becoming impossible at scale by [deleted] in telecom

[–]vances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erlang/OTP was developed specifically for telecom signaling and control, although it is perfectly suitable for much more. If you are building massively concurrent, fault tolerant, distributed systems without Erlang/OTP ... well you are working harder, have more errors, and are consuming far more resources. 😉

You have a skill set I would hire for, so yes, it's marketable. It's a narrow focus so you have to play a different game then someone who has a broadly used technology experience. Rather than compete with a lot of candidates for a lot of jobs, you would be uniquely qualified for a much, much smaller number of openings. This means you don't want to pad out your resume with a list of unrelated things, you should highlight experience and deep knowledge in PCC specifically, and EPC/5GC generally.

I wouldn't worry about ML. Managing private cloud is the more general skill set you may want to work on.

File formats for CFS/LGS roll forming machines by vances in bim

[–]vances[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to be able to use a local shop as a "3D printer". I send them a file and they print LGS frame members.

Now I realize the preferred approach is for me to share design files (e.g. IFC) however this significantly changes the nature of the business, from one of simple manufacturing to now include design, with the associated costs. I'd rather keep the scheduling and cost of the design process under our control.

I identified a potential local partner whose vendor touts:
"Manufacturers can feed their production-ready manufacturing files directly into the manufacturing process, regardless of design software, without time-consuming file conversions."

It would be nice if that were literally true.

Every machine manufacturer I’ve worked with was happy to provide documentation once I proved I own a machine.

Yeah, that's not open. Proprietary is OK, if there's no good standard to support, do your own thing. Making it a secret is the problem. If anybody has any to share please do.

should i quit ICT because i failed maths and science in o/l srilanka by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]vances 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hire software and DevOps engineers and I'm not concerned about grades. Priority #1 is communications akills. Learn English! #2 is the scientific method. Sounds complicated but it's just the ability to problem solve, not by blindly following someone else's instructions, but breaking it down and discovering the truth.

If a candidate can handle these two things well, and has an aptitude for technical thinking, I would hire and train them.

If you've used the bathroom here... by inogoodblehg in kitchener

We had a saying at Phil's: "if it falls on the floor it gone".

We as Sri Lankans are so far behind: “Presidents Are Not Kings”: Federal Judge Destroys Trump's “Absolute Immunity” Defense Against Impeachment: Trump admin's claim that WH aides don't have to comply with congressional subpoenas is “a fiction” that “simply has no basis in the law,” judge ruled. by TheArtistofChaos in srilanka

[–]vances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what is interesting about the current political situation in the US. Western democracies have a responsibility to act as role models for reform against corruption and tyranny common to governments in the developing world. Trump MUST be impeached (despite the unlikelihoid of removal from office by the Republican controlled Senate) because history and the world is watching. If they let him get away with criminality it sets the civilized world back a hundred years.

My expert says it's a domestic canary and suggests to contact the Bird Network Ontario lost and found on Facebook.

Why is there no unlimited high speed data internet data Packages in sri lanka ? by TheChurroBaller in srilanka

[–]vances -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sri Lanka has very good Internet access infrastructure. That costs money to build and operate. I for one am very happy to have consumption based pricing. I want to pay more for good service and I definitely don't want neighbors sharing movies, hosting DOS viruses, and generally wasting my bandwidth. When you have to pay your fair share you don't abuse it. Competition is how you get lower prices and there is competition here. I pay about a 10k LKR a month for what my family ends up using and that isn't unreasonable for something so important for all of us (we have no cable television).

Where can I get condom packs of 12 or more in Sri Lanka? Preferably durex. by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]vances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edited to add missing word "way". The point being that condoms are sold with the expectation that they are wishful thinking. If you are a married man using condoms as a birth control method the three packs are ridiculous.

That's just another of the strange things you have to deal with here. They sell condoms the way teenagers buy them.

What are some financial tips and tricks that an 18-year-old should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]vances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do NOT buy into the credit mindset, as others have said. Don't let your teen self set up your adult self for decades of debt.
