During my master's, I took a job in a physics group that works with high pressure time projection chambers for neutrino detection. They have a bunch of simulation and experimental data they wanted to organize and share with colleagues.

This is a nifty trick, but I recently had an issue where it would offer my other keys even with IdentitiesOnly yes specified in ~/.ssh/config. I found a solution [1], but it's not the most elegant. [1] https://supe

Happy to contribute what perspective I can :). I didn't mean to put it as a hostile US vs. EU thing, just wanted to state my reasons for going the other way. I saw in another comment that you said it would only be for a few years. In t

I'm an American (Texan) who has been living in Germany for the past 6 years. I would suggest to consider the culture and lifestyle more than the work, as those will play a much larger role in your happiness and satisfaction. It sounds

The Flying Goose brand is the most common here in Germany. The Huy Fong brand hasn't been available for a few years after the EU implemented some restriction on one of the ingredients.

Good point. I was looking at the "Family" aggregation which doesn't list AMD in the performance share chart, which was a bit misleading.

I use caps2esc [1] in Linux to remap capslock to ctrl on hold and esc on tap. It's such a simple yet insanely useful remapping! It really shines in modal editing (e.g. vim). I assume it's possible to use the underlying interceptio

For me it's just an easy way to notice if something is unexpectedly eating up resources, then I know to pull up htop to figure out what it is and kill it if needed.

Kind of an aside, but if you are going to digitize important documents that contain confidential information, I would highly recommend encrypting them to mitigate any damage if your files were to be compromised. It adds an extra hurdle to a

I lived in Leipzig for three years during my physics studies, and I really enjoyed the city. It's there that I really learned to love long walks. I've walked through and around that city more time than I can count. My favorite tim

Exactly this. I think I've come across maybe two or three snakes in almost five years here, all were non-venomous harmless looking little fellas, and I spend a lot of time in nature.

Interesting read, I don't believe I've ever encountered a sea snake myself, but I have a general rule to avoid snakes. Growing up in Texas, I was used to looking out for the venomous ones we had out on the ranch, i.e., copperheads

I would suggest leveraging MIT's OpenCourseWare [1]. You can filter for courses that have lecture videos, notes, etc. These courses are usually very well organized and taught by some of the best professors in the world. [1] https:&#x2

I believe their conclusions are a bit flawed. Namely, the amount that people spend on beer per year. Here in Germany most of the time I see beer prices at 3.00-5.00€ for 500ml in bars. However, I would say a large portion of beer consumptio
