I am writing right now my PhD thesis with Scrivener, and it's perfect, except (!) reference management is not working. My workaround is to have everything in Zotero, and manually put in the references, hoping I can convert later, in a

Or you can use a financial instrument futures. I never bought futures, just learned about it in university. But there you agree to a future price, so akin to storing it.

(It was my worst pain, knocks on wood, so far, too. And I was not prepared for that. But I got my second tooth removed later, and it was not as painful, I think it's all about the positioning of the tooth. While in pain, I was thinking

I am German and doing my PhD in the management sciences, so I can judge the output, and there are many European institutions that are doing top research, also German ones. I have the feeling it's mostly about tech that we're not t

When I started uni in 2004 it was still like this. I kind of was ashamed at parties to tell what I study, not to come off as too nerdy. I did a double major, so business was hipper. Just imagine! The status of developers changed so much in

Yes, working for me well, too in Germany. First boring content, then frighteningly well adjusted context. As I dislike most German content, it updated itself to mostly showing English/expat stuff. But also some German content that I li

In Germany we switched to paper bags. And I really use tote bags, as most people I see in the shops. But why not just use paper bags?

Intellectuals do this. For example in English they added the letter b to the word debt. Sometimes it goes the other way and difficult words are made easier, like ornithology becomes birdlore, which didn't work out, but folk-lore stayed

Mostly I think the same way. Except sometimes when I go with my friends to McDonalds or Burger King, then it's nice to not be excluded, and have this meaty textures. As I am a vegetarian since 14, now with 37 I really was shocked by th

Depends what you're comparing it to. Even in Germany it's a niche skill set, that has a higher payment than the average Java guy, but with enough skills you can get paid the same for any specialization, e.g. security, cloud-comput

It's some years ago, did you succeed rewriting CAP in Rust :P Thanks for being a hipster SAP developer, and I mean it :)

There are two versions, the on-premise landscape and the cloud version. The on-premise version makes sense sometimes. You can even deploy SAP platform to cloud foundry.

I think it's mostly the culture surrounding SAP. SAP developers are a lot of times slow to adapt to new technology. For the UI you can use react components https://sap.github.io/ui5-webcomponents-react/?path=/

To be honest, I had so many SAP implementations in my career, and it was most likely not that one. Everybody adapts the software to the real existing business processes. Especially in Germany we are not yet there yet, that tech people can t

No, as in the article mentioned, there is so much configuration that you can do. It has it's own programming language, and nowadays a lot is processed in the backend. It helps a lot when implementing new things on top. It provides for

Yeah, SAP folk are always very conservative. A lot of stuff is actually quite fast, but you need to know an incredible tech stack nowadays going literally back to the 80s to new technology. But if you're in the known, it's fast.

Honestly I work with SAP and for power users we still implement text UIs for certain special tasks. SAP's language ABAP is actually optimized for this and it works amazingly well. You can implement in 20 minutes a working UI that does
