no it’s not. but you should know what you’re getting into.

in the beginning of my PhD i really loved what i was doing. from an intellectually point of view i still do. but later, i.e. after 3 years doing a shitty postdoc, i realized that I was not cut out for academia but nevertheless loved doing science.

however, i was lucky to find a place in industry doing what i like.

so i guess my 2c is: think about what comes after the PhD and work towards that goal. a PhD is usually not a goal in itself. hth

thanks for the explanation. i guess it really doesn’t work as a meme if I’ve doesn’t happen to know this particular image.

why the down votes? https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=de&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Serendipitous+Unexpected+Result&lr=#d=gs_qabs&t=1719082366270&u=%23p%3DlkBg6udHFQ4J

bought mine 3 years ago. it’s my favorite summer sport now.

yeah this is what i used for some projects, i.e. rmarkdown which also integrates the statistics part

and then there are fucking PIs insisting on word files who never heard of tracked charges let alone of file naming conventions.

in Germany this is boomer humor when referring to beer: chilled hops’ infusion

shouldn’t it be like integration? i get the “derived” joke but still

where are the flood tunnels installed to guard the treasure?

there is a phrase in scientific publishing where people plagiarize a paper but run it through a thesaurus to change certain words to make it less obvious. thing is, randomly picking things up from a thesaurus leads to what is called tortured phrases.

• counterfeit consciousness
• torment executioners

From german wikipedia: It was a practice called Buntschießen, ~ multi-color shooting, as German chemical weapons were color-coded. One would start with “Maskenbrechern” ~mask-breakers (blue) , designed to force soldiers to remove their masks, which were then followed by lung-affecting agents (green).

Kurzwarenabteilung in Kaufhäusern

ja, Versuche alle Demos in der nähe mitzunehmen. Schlaucht ganz schön, aber ich find’s wichtig präsenz zu zeigen. tw. gibt es auch interessante Diskussionen mit anderen Teilnehmern. wir sind zwar nicht immer einer Meinung, aber wir können unsere Unterschiede für den Moment zurückstellen. (auch wenn es vlt übergriffig ist: wenn ihr könnt, geht zu den demos. es ist unsere Republik. wenn wir sie nicht schützen, stirbt sie.)

I’m having the same problem. this kind of nested argument is quite annoying to program in e.g. argp. i am even thinking of using a minimal forth like parser to do this.

if it remember it correctly it was said in relation to algorithm optimization > code optimization

Ich selber vertrag sie sonst nicht so gut. aber wer da was robuster ist kann da natürlich drauf verzichten

oberschnell, aber vielleicht zu spartanisch: Kichererbsen aus der Dose kurz mit Natron aufkochen, abgießen, Häute entfernen (Erbsen zwischen den Händen reiben), reichlich Salz, Pfeffer, Zitronensaft, Olivenöl.
