this describes my childhood. I was growing up in a bigger city, and then moved to the suburbs when I was a teenager, it was horrible. Growing up with the autonomy of a big city kid, I couldn't handle the dependencies, only relieved whe

I learned programming quite late, starting in university. But my first programming experience was very early as a child when my dad brought home a 286 laptop (!) and showed me how to write simple programs in QBasic. He showed me how to do c

I always wonder how much it should actually be done to the "coding" [1] standards in the social sciences. Social scientists working with qualitative data start analyzing by putting codes in various specialized ways to the data. In

That's nothing, I write for academia, and pay for getting published.

I grew up with this assertion. But right now through my spouse and a lot of friends, I see, that you can earn good money by specializing in a not that popular instrument, e.g. piano (!). And then be just advanced+reliable+do the effort of n

For Java Emacs is terrible. I loved IntelliJ. But for Python, Haskell, Common Lisp, Clojure, OCaml, I turn back to Emacs, because it is very familiar, and very nicely integrated.

I program my Emacs for very basic stuff, but very specialized for projects. For other developers (even who use VSCode) it's black magick. I think Emacs has also a culture of tinkering.

funny, how many times in my career I've encountered the knapsack problem. but I can say off-by-one hit me many more times.

I second that. Major red flag. Exams can never be so bad as you can't do the laundry. I would have been insulted ... But maybe it's a cultural difference.

From the example http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/netbook-misc-devel/rotcube.p... how does this for expression work? cube = [(x, y, z) for x in -1, 1 for y in -1, 1 for z in -1, 1] My interpreter can&#x27

Yes, actually that's how I am working right now. But I was just doing a paper on the side just in Word with Zotero, and it really helps to have a reference manager.

But my God is it hard to find anything non-distracting. I think MS Word is the best for me, but still. I would prefer Markdown, but this is just terrible for academia. I tried AsciiDoc, but again, nothing is more distracting than AsciiDoc,

love the troff reference. I wrote my first CV in troff. mostly because it was available on my linux machine, and working.

In the social sciences this is actually a common use case, so some CAQDAS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-assisted_qualitative_... are using that. See a free one here: https://github.com/ccbogel&

I was also consulting for a utility company. Billing was easy, we used SAP (lol). But CRM (where we also used SAP) was a nightmare. The different processes where a nightmare. I mean utilities are amazingly complex logistically. New metering

you could make social media where the ad revenue is shared with the users. you can already sell art where the platform can vanish (like hicetnunc did) but the artists and users can take their assets to just another platform (like objkt).

I live in Northern Germany, and I cherish the sun of Israel. But for example Hamburg looks not so good, re. flooding.

Unit Tests are still underrated in my experience. It pains me when I see developers testing their functionality end to end, manually. Discover a formatting error in their input, then do this again. When I was working in the office I could s

Oh, thanks. I wanted to read his Central Asia in World History since a long time. Sometime I'll write a Global History of the Turkic-Mongol mercantile business.

I am trying to figure that out, too, working now on my PhD. For my work life it just means I can engage in interesting conversations. That's quite something, helps with networking a lot. For my PhD I can re-use a lot (not all) of the s

Do you know this book: https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691165851/lo... It talks about the often overlooked civilisation in Central Asia between 800 and 1200.

I love this product, and I don't get the negativity here. For NFTs it is perfect as a gallery that you can join with people to present your work. You can meet up. There is an editor where you can model spaces. Do I miss something? Is t

A long time ago I wrote a small Processing tool for guitar, but adjusted it already for ukulele, and saz/bouzouki. Maybe that's useful for you. https://github.com/rglass/guitar/blob/master/guita

Apropos, I read some anthropology for my PhD, it became quite common to call the German nobility of the Middle Ages warlords, to stress the commonality between today's criminal regimes.
