AFAIK, he is not trolling. Right now, in Academia, there is a very strong movement towards hiring diversity candidates. For example, some faculty openings are advertised as women or minorities only . In EU, some have sued and successfully

You are bringing up a valid problem, but I think this needs to be fixed at UI level. There are GUIs getting developed for e.g. NixOS that lower the barrier to use the OS pretty dramatically. I agree things need to be simpler, but it would b

I like bwrap, but I dislike Flatpak because it leads to obscure dependency management. AFAIK, in a scenario similar to the xz hack, it is hard to verify whether all apps are running compromised / patched versions of xz and dependencies

MNT makes the Pocket Reform: https://mntre.com/reform.html It's a bit bigger than these HP, but it is open hardware and stuff has been mainlined into the kernel. MNT Research is a very cool open hardware organization.

Format is anachronistic, but other things are even worse. For instance, a typical review process in Nature or Cell takes around 12 months these days. Lots of waiting, back and forth messages, and waste. If you get rejected, switching fr

I would not say it is such a small niche. There are job openings here and there. It is much easier to find a Clojure job than a F# or a Haskell job in my experience. This may be of course different depending on your location. The problem is

That's a bit of an unfair comparison as Munich is a city, whereas Schleswig-Holstein is a state. It's not very different from Bavaria or neighbouring areas such as Jylland or Lower Saxony: https://en.wikipedia.org/

Schleswig-Holstein is not poor. It is next to Denmark, and it is really nice and well developed. I think transitioning to a different platform is mostly an organizational and political, rather than technical problem, and the main roadblock

This post ignores the Lindy effect. Things that have been around for pretty long are likely to stick around for much longer. For example, Unix, Emacs, or Firefox (Netscape) are likely to be quite popular 10 or 20 years down the line. The OS

I imagine it would be possible, but a ton of work! Maybe WebAssembly makes it doable.

I also find LaTeX hyphenation noticeably better than anything else. Actually, for even better hyphenation than stock LaTeX, the package microtype is wonderful. It uses lots of small refinements such as adjusting kerning, spacing, and lettin

I believe ELife may eventually get deeper paid reviews. That is a reason to involve the journal in this process. The way reviews at ELife work can be seen as solicited letter-to-the editor reviews, as these do not influence the outcome. You

You are right. It is often a problem that established competitors get to review articles that contradict their work and, unsurprisingly, try to sabotage them. Incentives are not well aligned. A good mid-ground is something like the non-prof

The new UI was awful. Recently, they made some changes that IMHO improved it quite substantially. With a bit of work, it could be a good refresh of the original.
