Good to know. I just wanted to express the (quite disappointing) fact that not all Ph.D.s match what's being proposed here.

In my experience (math, small european university), this is the romantic idea of a Ph.D. more than how it ends up being in practice. In my case (and quite a few others around me), a Ph.D. is some research of varying novelty and complexity,

Wow, I love those "concrete tiles". Any idea where this is?

Some people like butter but don't want/can't eat dairy. That's just one reason.

Fair enough, but my issue with your original comment is that it implied that _by design_, ISBN does not uniquely identify books, which is wrong, as far as I can tell. In any case, the issue of reuse of ISBN has practical consequences, so th

Do you have a source for the non-uniqueness of ISBN? Google didn't provide anything tangible and I'd be very interested in a reputable place confirming your claim. Actually, as far as I see [0] ISBN have to be unique. It seems lik

About reliable email adresses: I'm using my university alumni "email forwarding for life", but this loses me some emails due to DMARC and friends. What are the alternatives?

Would having (optional) type annotation, or even a relatively coercitive type system help much in the way of performance? Admittedly, this wouldn't be scheme anymore, but are there example of this done in the wild with profitable impac

I'm wondering: are there any RXRS compliant scheme implementations that are competitively fast? say comparable to js or lua, or even C/rust? If not, is the reason coming from scheme itself, or is it more a lack of effort in this d

Thanks!

Why is that? and what are the two approaches?

I think you're not replying to the main (or at least, most important imo) point of the parent: it's that this man-made landscape has now plastic embedded in it, with all the potential risks it entails

Look at the «Whitworth three plate method». As far as I understand, it should allow a «gain» in precision.

Very interesting, thank you! So, I guess both the hydraulic press and slow curing time ensured that the tiles were very hard/abbrasion resistant. More so than plain mortar, somewhat closer to ceramic.
77.
by rosetremiere 5y ago
I don't understand the hydraulic press part. First, I'd expect the press to somehow mess with the patterns, and second, I would have thought he'd just let the cement take. Anyone knows what the point of this part?

I've never seen anything like it in Switzerland (and neighboring countries). From what I saw, the process here seems to be: first, let the hay dry on the ground by itself for a bit, then group it along "rows" that make essent

Indeed, it seems to tick quite a lot of boxes. I'm a bit confused on how to make it work with my old vimrc and plugins, and it doesn't seem to support julia's lsp yet, but I'll wait a few months, and hopefully this will

I'm using neovim with Coc (often does not work as I want it to) and ALE and friends, and it's getting sort of frustrating. It's lots of fiddling with the vimrc, each year a new better extension that I can never make work, etc

I think the main criticism in GP was that the friend's group also cut ties, not just the person being put "at risk" by such a friendship. Also, "toxic influence" makes it seem like the friend was, by themself, toxic

I was (without any better argument than my intuition) arguing that the sentence “But it's more accurate to model these systems as semilattices.” sounds weak to me. I was not making a point on the article, but only on this specific idea
87.
by rosetremiere 5y ago
It feels to me this analogy is rather weak. Presumably, the point of semilattice (compared to tree) is that the hierarchy is not top-down but can have branches up and down. I'd say the algebraic structure of joins and meets is not real

Among friends and family, it's mainly 2× yes. You see a lot of banners in the cities for the initiative, but I don't know how good an indicator that is (political banners seem to have boomed in the last 3 years: each campaign now

I'm honestly happy with this part: I'm all for reducing livestock use as much as possible, and the fodder restriction is a nice way to push for this by giving a natural constraint: can't have more livestock than you can feed

To clarify, I believe the goals are laudable, and the "drastic" adjective was the best approximation I had. My first guess would be to vote 2× yes, but I have some reservations: * I heard that even among organic farmers, it was no
