If someone told you that your house is on fire, would you just stay there asking how you should vote because there is no call to action? Someone with, as far as it looks, good knowledge is giving you his insight. Use that information as good as you can and act responsible. No one has the responsability to tell you what to do.

It's not arbitrary. They are the capitals. Capitals are not necessarily the largest cities.

Starevich was doing stop motion animated films in 1912: "The Beautiful Leukanida" or "The Cameraman's Revenge".

I have a little collection of slide rules. I love those things.

I'm not old enough to have used them to do calculations, but I find them extremely useful to explain logarithms and how multiplication can be represented by the sum of logarithms. I actually work with grad students who should know these things, but watching it in a slide rule on their hands really helps to build intuition.

That's also my impression. They even brag about it. They have optimized the time that it takes to find the send button (something that I will only have to do once or maybe a few times until I get used to it) at the expense of a good portion of screen space that would be very useful when actually writing emails.

From the release notes: "we also intend for minor releases to be much more frequent. Rather than having another 6+ years development schedule for GIMP 3.2, we plan to release it within a year of 3.0".

I am a material scientist. Everyday, I see failed attempts to replicate samples. Slightly different compositions, slightly different heat treatments, subtle differences in crystallographic texture or the arrangement of inclusions that unexpectedly change the properties of your material in mysterious ways.

And I know nothing about superconductors, I am talking about steel, a material that we have worked with for centuries, it's in the first chapter of every textbook and is practically everywhere.

Things are hard.

I've had a Kronaby for a few years now. The first battery lasted maybe 14-15 months, next one barely one year. Nowadays, I switch battery every 8-9 months.

It's still much better than charging your watch every night/week/month. And I really like the minimal functionality it offers.

This.

I have worked for almost 15 years in academic research, but in very close collaboration with the steel industry. The code we write can help steel companies to save millions when developing new products. This is quite complex software, which combines materials science, mechanical engineering and advanced mathematical concepts while requiring high performance and reliability.

I found a nice position for a tenure track in France, in a top research centre. Besides designing and writing software, I would have to design and implement experimental plans, teach, deal with students and administration, keep an excellent publications record, and find funding for future projects. Remote work would not be a possibility (but I would work may unpaid extra hours at home). And the amount of published papers and recommendation letters required just to be considered for the job was overwhelming. My salary would be lower than $30k/year. They do not even know what is a RSE.

I am searching a remote job in the software industry now.

It would be nice if the compiler could tell you:

    ERROR: DUP + is not SQUARE. Did you mean DOUBLE?
