Well, I am guessing you are not an MD and as such you do not understand what radiology really is as a profession. You certainly have a very advanced technical knowledge about it, even much more than most radiologists. And that's precis

As an MD, I would be extremely interested in such a book! I'm a big fan of yours :-) I'm still working on my adaptation of MiniKanren for unification over multidimensional array terms, BTW. I hope to get it really working, someday

And the US would not do that? Let's ask America's native population and see what they have to say about that. I find difficult to believe that you're arguing in good faith.

Why would we europeans want to work with the US? It would actually be great if americans kept american interests in America, for once.

Plenty and plenty, yes. Now, what's a solution that would work for everyone, males females and others alike? This is very clearly a professor acknowledging the problems that arise due to interindividual biology in work environments. Un

So, limiting research to projects small enough for a single individual, then? Because similar situations will and do arise in industrial research groups.

They don't. I fail to see how that's surprising given that straight people don't fit either.

No tenure, no exploratory science and no moonshot. Newton was a dangerous asshole. Would you exchange differential calculus for squeaky-clean academia? I don't think so ...

by rscho 5y ago
Getting tenure means (ideally) that the system considers you have proven yourself as a competent researcher and therefore accepts to release a bit of pressure on publishing to allow you to pursue more exploratory objectives. It does not mea

Well... non-PC jokes are a liability risk for the institution at large. Dead students are not. We have an identical phenomenon in hospitals: there are huge campaigns against sexism and the like, while there are multiple young professionals

Which is exactly how it still works in many places. You have to be co-opted and have the vote of your peers. This doesn't do anything to ensure those elected are able. It ensures they are politically desirable.

Not outright cheating, but cooking results to seem better/surprising and publishing lots of those shitty papers is the optimal way to build a career in many fields. In medicine, for example.

Syntax can certainly be more or less suitable to a particular problem or even to humans in general, but (dis)allowing identifier shadowing is part of the semantics of the language ( i.e. what the syntax means). One could say: "there s

Geocar put in the effort of trying to make you see. But you are prejudiced with the equivalent of those who spite Lisp because of parentheses. If you want a "more readable" array language, take a look at Nial. PS: qualifying the W
