In regards to the DFG funding it says that foreigners are allowed "provided they have been resident in Germany for several years and have completed at least three years of scientific work as a doctoral or postdoctoral researcher in the

I agree that having foreigners come is great for science in Australia but it's a bit dramatic to say "you might as well close down science in Australia". An ARC DECRA does go to your own bank account as it pays your salary. B

If you are using iTerm2 and doing computer vision / machine learning on images or working with large images, my tool called 'bv' has even more features and supports TMUX as well: https://github.com/daleroberts

Thanks for telling me, it looks like Debian is using GDAL v1...

TV gives even more interesting results as it uses more unicode 9.0 characters: http://www.github.com/daleroberts/tv

by daleroberts 10y ago
Tv pushes the rendering further by using more unicode characters. It also uses GDAL as a backend which allows subsampling of massive images and access to many scientific image formats (GeoTiff, NetCDF, JPEG2000, etc)

Terminal is great but a major lacking feature is 'true color' ( https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 ). If you an Apple engineer working on Terminal and reading this post, please add it, it would be much appr

If you are running a Mac for your desktop (with iTerm2) and ssh'ing into a Linux machine. These work if you run them remotely as the image gets transferred through the SSH session: https://github.com/daleroberts/it

You can checkout my other project https://github.com/daleroberts/tv which allows you to view images in any terminal supporting Unicode 9.0 fonts and true color. It uses GDAL for the backend which is easy to install on

Thanks. I just do the work because it's fun, that's the rewarding part for me. I just like to wander around working on random "mathy" pure and applied problems in a variety of areas...

Yeah, at least we got a quick cite. I believe they had to sacrifice a bit on the rigour of the methodology to be able to do it at scale. For example, atmospheric correction of the data, methodology, validation, ... We've also improved

Any recommendations for the font size? I'm just using standard Menlo Regular 11. I didn't want to do hiptext any injustice.

No, looks fine for me (Retina display). For those that are interested, I've also released my approach to imagery in the terminal (Python): https://github.com/daleroberts/tv

Yep, you'll find fat cats in every industry. My main point is that not only is there "dualisation" like is proposed in the article but out of those who have made it into a tenured position there is another hard split between

Yes, Finance is the biggest and the money still flows. Look at all the recent hires in Finance at UNSW and UMelb who have been appointed at the Senior Lecturer level straight after PhD. Market loadings are paid in Medecine too. Probably Law

by daleroberts 11y ago
I beg to differ. You can make a significant amount of money as an academic in Australia if you are in the right discipline to get a market loading and be able to do consulting on the side. AU$200-300K a year is easy to achieve for these aca

As someone who's spent some of their career in each one of these groups, I have to agree 100% with your analysis. An interesting intersection is the Finance/Management/Business faculty. A new Assistant Professor in Finance ca
