I generally don't comment but I have to in this case:

Your wiki is absolutely motivating. I have spent close to 1h on it now and I'll be spending more. I will also be "stealing" from it!

Really great work there.

My MS was in astroparticle physics (applied). That means I am better suited for data science than for engineering stuff.

Weirdly enough, if I knew optics but no coding I would be in a better place than the one I am in right now, which is: I know (a little bit of) coding but no optics.

I have an MS in physics and I disagree with this. If you want opened doors, go for software engineering. You have so many things you can do with software, seriously.

I have finished my master's in November, and I have been looking for a job. I have not been very lucky so far. I am looking for data-science related stuff. If you have any suggestions, please, I am all ears. (I am in Europe)

There was a time when, if you had a degree in Physics, they'd throw money at you. That is no longer true.

Can you explain the 6 month thing to me? If I understand correctly, posts/comments older than 6 months get deleted, unless you decide to save it locally? Even if someone saves a post older than 6 months locally, others cannot see it, right?

That does not seem like a feature to me, and completely breaks geteather imo, sadly. Most of the good content on reddit is older than 6 months. Imagine if reddit decided to delete posts older than 6 months, jesus, every 6 months there would be a flood of the very same questions/posts/comments...

I tried setting up spacevim (edit: wrong! It was spacemac I used) a few days ago but gave up. I couldn't make auto-complete and snippets work.

Anyone knows how to make it work without having to spend hours? I was trying to make it work for python. Also, I want tab to be used.

EDIT: I am wrong. I tried setting up spacemac. I didn't know about spacevim.

I recently finished my Master's in Physics (with a minor in Applied physics, thesis in Astroparticle physics). I also have a BS in Physics. I've been looking for a job for a few months now and haven't found anything interesting.

Where do you guys search for jobs, in Europe? I was mainly looking for a Data-Science position, though I don't know ML yet (other than regressions ofc)

We use contextual cues to help in recalling memorized information. If I learn/study about ABCD while listening to music FFF, I'll more easily recall ABCD while listening to FFF.

This is why I don't see "endlessly unique" as something inherently good. It would be cool, however, to play it for 1h (or so), save it and then re-play it whenever.

Those other "random clients" (as you call them) exist because your desktop client is bad. And I am being nice by just calling it "bad", it is the least performant client I have ever come across, even counting other electron-based software.

Bye, Bye, Google 7 years ago

Your site is really performant Bogdanp. Mind me asking if you use a paid host or something like netlify?

According to the README of that project, it does not support snippets nor auto-complete yet. Seems to be very alphaish..

I wish there was a good GUI for nvim/vim. I've tried them all and they all lag, either just a cursor lag when there is syntax-highlight (gvim) or when using snippets/auto-complete (nvim-qt for example).

I haven't found a single good GUI for nvim/vim. If you have, please let me know.
