R + ggplot2 was the road I took and taught my students. There are other good tools indeed.

These are excellent suggestions and are taught in science classes. Except for the use of Excel. Yes, Excel is easy, but its flexibility will lead to sloppiness, and drawing figures sucks. Excels statistical functions are also wrong in some

"Draw your figures in Excel" No no no no no no no! Do not draw your figures in Excel. Yes, they can be drawn quicly, but Excel figures suck, are a pain to customize and will introduce bad habits. Learn to draw figures in R using g

For photos, print them and stow them away. Prints survive hundreds of years, if done right. This should not be the only strategy, though.

If you can't take the lies, leave. It's the only way. I would refrain from making this public because it could get you in a lot of trouble, which isn't worth it.

I have a repository on GitLab that contains a LaTex file each for an application letter, a CV and all my documents. In addition, I have an SQLite DB that contains past positions and a skill matrix in german and english language, and some py

Interesting, thank you! Is this effect specific to suicide or are other behaviours such as mass shootings also related to this?

Is there research on the matter? Can displaying graphic content actually nudge somebody into committing suicide? While this may sound insensitive to the matter, I'd rather opt for having data than join into the generall HN hatred of al

"The slowest" by which measure?

by Odenwaelder 8y ago
I would think that the impact of this content is overrated. You aren't not prepared for the hardships of life just because you are in an algorithmic filter bubble. People don't kill themselves just because they see graphic content

When hearing about cooking things the one or the other way, I always wonder if the difference in taste is significant. If you'd do a double-blind study, would you see (taste?) a significant difference?

Probably depends on the country. In Germany, the student debt is zero in most cases, except if you received student support (Bafög). Even with Bafög, it's not a lot of debt.

Maybe not the ones we know about, but there was a time in the 80s when AIDS suddenly spread like wildfire and we didn't know what caused it. This can very easily happen again, and you subject yourself to this danger by receiving blood

Enjoy your to-be-discovered deadly viruses you got from such a transfusion. (I'm not joking, there might be undetected viruses that promote development of cancer and other diseases.)

Not interested. Unlike the "normal" tech field, biotech and pharma is an extremely high risk investment and if you aren't a life scientist, it's almost impossible for you to separate the wheat from the chaff or do any ki

You probably don't want to hear this, but don't mess with your brain biochemistry. The brain is a delicate system and introducing artificial changes will probably harm you in the long term. Your question is also very broadly phras
