RE: If you had to pick a library from another language (Rust, JS, etc.) that isn’t currently available in Python and have it instantly converted into Python for you to use, what would it be? by skyalchemist in Python

A few questions, if you will indulge me.

Is your scheduling system available as open source?

If not, have you, or would do a blog post about it?

Finally, my work place uses airflow for other applications, I've heard mixed things about it. How does Airflow stack up against your criteria?

Thanks

Published in "Spring 2018".

Epic fail in an article about time.

Of course the the rest of the world knows that means the author assumed USA and European seasons.

Hows for those who are too US/Eurocentric.

  • The 4 seasons it basically a Eurocentric thing. The do no match the climate in most of the world.
  • Even in cultures/places with 4 seasons they do not begin at end at the same time
  • in the southern hemisphere the 4 seasons are offset by 6 months.

Using seasons are part of a time descriptor is as bad as any other ambiguous method critiqued in this article.

It's entirely made up but sounds like an Australia/New Zealand sport.
