Looks super cool! It would be nice to be able to deploy a starter application alongside the architecture as a demo for good practices.

More panels means more atmospheric drag in LEO. This leads to a shorter lifespan of the satellite.

As usual, the reddit /r/spacex launch thread is a useful resource: https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/4o5u6r/rspacex_eute...

No, because the touch-id is deactivated after 24h (or 48h, I'm not sure) of inactivity.
That, plus the fact that landing far from inhabited regions is safer.
For those who didn't notice, the video was published on March 6, 2012.

Hi. Do you plan to add a "per query" pricing plan ? I would be happy to use such a service from times to times but I don't think I'd subscribe for a monthly plan.

Or Thales, Safran, Dassault, banks,...
It should be a bit more nuanced but I don't have a better suggestion.
Docker : from Epitech ;).
The title is misleading.

As koolkat said, 42 is a fork of Epitech. In those schools, programming is taught by projects, and supervised by teaching assistants. The teaching assistants are older students selected by their CS knowledge and their human abilities.

This method is preferred by the school because a TA costs less than a real teacher ; and preferred by students because the TA have a closer relationship with them and have a better understanding of the projects (they coded this project 1 or 2 years before).

Personally, I was head of the teaching assistants in EPITA for 1 year. EPITA follows the same principles of projects and teaching assistants. We were a team of 30 students and lead the projects for approx. 300 students.

Beware of the confusion between Epita and Epitech. These two schools are very different.

Epita is an engineering school and it is absolutely not focused on producing programmers. The school teaches electronics, physics, OS, embedded systems, compilers, management, security,... _and_ programming.

Epitech, is not an engineering school and is focused on creating programmers (but still provide some other courses).

Actually the threat was more about investing for the next datacenters outside of France. It's highly unlikely they'll relocate the current ones.

I have been using Infinit from times to times and it never failed me. Could you tell us a bit more about your infrastructure ?
