no it’s not. but you should know what you’re getting into.

in the beginning of my PhD i really loved what i was doing. from an intellectually point of view i still do. but later, i.e. after 3 years doing a shitty postdoc, i realized that I was not cut out for academia but nevertheless loved doing science.

however, i was lucky to find a place in industry doing what i like.

so i guess my 2c is: think about what comes after the PhD and work towards that goal. a PhD is usually not a goal in itself. hth

thanks for the explanation. i guess it really doesn’t work as a meme if I’ve doesn’t happen to know this particular image.

why the down votes? https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=de&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Serendipitous+Unexpected+Result&lr=#d=gs_qabs&t=1719082366270&u=%23p%3DlkBg6udHFQ4J

yeah this is what i used for some projects, i.e. rmarkdown which also integrates the statistics part

and then there are fucking PIs insisting on word files who never heard of tracked charges let alone of file naming conventions.

I’m having the same problem. this kind of nested argument is quite annoying to program in e.g. argp. i am even thinking of using a minimal forth like parser to do this.

if it remember it correctly it was said in relation to algorithm optimization > code optimization

awesome! thanks the tip!

I’m using vim mode in my bash and i agree that a mode indicator would be nice

find a professional cook book. these books teach you how to calculate recipes and scale them (even in relation to whether something is a side dish or mains, they also include tips on calculating waste/trimmings and what to do with them). check your local library. i think there is a starter course from the culinary institute of America, in German there is “der junge Koch”

thanks! but i can’t access the site (certificate expired some certificate related error, then, page not found). I’ll try again later

i feel like half the article is missing

absolutely! these all work very nice with naga chillis, either dried or with a homemade “sauce”. i usually make a sofrito (i.e. no vinegar, no sugar, little salt, just sauteed veggies with maybe an apple) with lots of chillis. it really brings out the fruitiness. but it spoils fast so either can it or keep it in the freezer/fridge.

anything with beans/lentils really. i like Pasulj, Turkish lentil soup, and ful medame. these are all easy to prepare, cheap, and filling. you can also deviate from standard recipes by throwing other veggies into the mix (within reason). they also work very well with some soft boiled eggs and hot sauce.

music zines, friends, going to concerts (opening acts), watching Indy movies (soundtrack). am also interested in ideas from others as I’ve also seem to have reached the end of spotify’s suggestions

well for companies it makes sense i guess. after all they could spend their money on other social media thingies if their research shows that mastodon isn’t working for them.

but what really bothers me is that this article shows that companies become interested in mastodon. i really would love to have a place just for people to interact not companies and their stupid social media teams. on their hand there’s a good chance that I’ll never even notice their posts anyways.

uhh this is dark. I’ll have to follow up on this. brr
