Yes it covered my clinical salary and had around 20'000 per year for the lab work. It was very generous, but hard to get. Also, the year after I got it, the recession had truly hit and charities and research organisations stopped mos

There wasn't any coursework - just a single thesis at the end. I think some people do achieve a PhD alongside work, but it can be a long process. I also think things have changed these days in that decades ago you could take as long

Yes wasn't this an issue when the early benchmarks of the threadrippers came out? I think there was some kind of thread limit.

Yes, I have recently completed a PhD at a UK university (aged late 30s). I was able to get full funding for my salary and lab resources for 3 years. I worked so hard and submitted after 4 years. Can't imagine how I could have done t

Funny enough I read this, and the article, and then looked him up. Found he was on tour in UK and passing through my city this weekend. I bought the last two tickets available to see him this Saturday.

I feel like I'm the only one mentioning vim-wiki here. But, vim-wiki?

You might also want to consider vim-wiki if you want the hyperlinks feature.

I use it for two purposes: 1. Useful practical information or checklists on disease topics (I'm a physician). Sometimes they are reminders, or useful knowledge that is generally gleaned from experience / colleagues. Things that

Oh sure - biomedical research is in real need of a combination of programmers / statisticians / bioinformaticians and regular scientists at the moment. The latest research techniques are terrific at maximising the amount of infor

If you're brought up from an early age that the basis of your morals and values require pure 'faith', then it stands to reason that you will always be insecure about your ability to reason for yourself. As a result you will

Reminds me of this story [1] about the BA flight where a window blew out, nearly costing the life of the pilot who only survived being blown out the cockpit because the cabin crew hung onto him until the plane landed. [1] https:/&#x2F

I have similar feelings for some things. My old Amiga. My early experience with Linux. Maybe even my time on OS9 and selecting the background wallpaper seen in the article. It must be a combination of the delight when I used them, a quir

I think anything small volume ends up costing a lot. BTW the traveler reminds me of the original Psion 3.

The quietness and lack of pop ups is what I noticed when I switched from XP to Ubuntu 9.04 back in the day. I couldn't believe how it just booted and did nothing.

With ultrawide displays we need an update of this paradigm. Maybe we need to introduce the concept of areas on a display that partially take over the role of a physical screen. For starters I have just adjusted my MATE desktop to verticall

I'd say 7 was one of the best Windows, but even that had a lot of UI inconsistency and clutter. Still, better than most. Not as cohesive as my MATE desktop.

I was about to reply to this, thinking what a coincidence, I just bought a copy of Amiga Format magazine this week. Of course, my mind was muddled and I meant Linux Format, but I guess this just means they occupy a similar place in my mind

As we have three cones used to observe tone and colour, the colour/tone of something occupies a 3D space. However, as you say, a pigment colour has high dimensional properties - the spectral response. As others have mentioned this det

I don't think it is off topic for me to say that your comment is arrogant with statements that are either incorrect or make a lot of assumptions. Maybe throw in a bit of schadenfreude in too. I think the style of discourse here colou

To me the Amiga felt less transitional and more like a branch cut short. These days everything is better, but also nothing is.

Yes, I think other (non-covid) infectious diseases are partly to blame. They also have a knock on effect for other conditions like coronary heart disease, COPD and dementia, etc.
