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.

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.

i find that unfiltered black coffee has a lot of body. 2 heaped teaspoons of ground coffee, 200ish mls of boiling water. let it soak, then stir carefully. the coffee sinks to the bottom leaving you with rich flavorful goodness.

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

solution

  • AI
  • pain killers

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

awesome! thanks the tip!

 

I'm looking for a programmable calculator with the option of saving and loading the functions i created. the closest I've found so far is something like Free42 but the learning curve is kinda steep. thanks for your help!
