I assume the title is such as yesterday was women in science day.

I just spent a fair bit of time on this question last week and here is my new setup. (Previously I used a mixture of mendeley with goodnotes and an Ipad pro with apple pencil). Cur…

I disagree. Yes most of what each person says will not apply in any given case, but discussions like this where everyone is just kind of throwing it at the wall can be useful to tr…

While there are some very real issues at Hanford, the issue this week has been vastly blown out of proportion in the media (I work fairly near to the the location). There is a mass…

I think it may depend a lot upon the candidate. I personally feel like I make a pretty good salary, and with many jobs I would otherwise consider applying to, I don't feel like it'…

If you google matplotlib viridis there is a discussion of the issue. Using perceptually uniform colormaps(not to mention ones that translate to gray scale correctly) is normally th…

Really? I was there for a month working and found that most people spoke flawless english.

Usually my thought process goes something like: "Hmm, that's weird, why doesn't this work" "Oh..duh" "...okay nope that wasn't it. " ...googling "Ahh that should fix it" "F!&*" "Oh…

I'm really not sure. I mostly just keep up with terrestrial weather.

This is interesting, but not as groundbreaking as they make it out to be. People are already using GPS signals to calculate things like available liquid water. For instance, see ht…

Maybe not the most sophisticated of pages, but sometimes it is good to get a brief reminder of what might be asked, especially for those of us that are not considered senior yet.

There are two possible scenarios here. Either you are above him on the organizational chart, in which case you probably have the authority to let him go. More likely(As you're not …

I'm not sure why this is not getting any comments, but it would be nice if the list had a little more curation(General topics, quality, etc).

Check out northern Colorado. Between Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder there is a fair bit of tech, cost of living is decently low(outside of Boulder), and you can live right next …

I thought this was interesting, figured maybe HN would want to see it if it hadn't already done so before.

I doubt it. You'd have to know the update strategy, as well as the key. Theoretically it's impossible to get the secret out of the device(though in actuality, I doubt that is true)…

The M.S. does, but as stories like this become more common, non-namebrand MS programs will start to lose some luster. Being able to point to a publication, or a project you run, or…

Also the me should be an I, and listed after the others. Though to be honest, most people make the same mistake. Your English is at the level where you can pass off as a native fro…

I'd say if you can do it in two years, including deficiency courses, and without publishing, you're probably not getting your moneys worth and yes it will be looked down upon. Thre…

It's not that we don't have a facebook account, but rather that we don't want to have another app tangled in with all of our facebook data.

I was middle class(maybe lower middle class), and my entire education end up paid for. Not only that, but after work study, I actually made enough money to live on without having t…

My (Terminal at that institution) masters was paid for completely, as well as being paid a salary. In STEM fields I'm not sure I know anyone who didn't have their MS paid for. Sure…

Some stores do a better job of this than others. REI in particular has usually been amazing. I went in last weekend for a shirt, and saw that packs are on sale. The salesman there …

248? In Helsinki I think I saw more than that passed out on a single tram ride. Helsinki had far more homeless than any big US city I've ever been to(at the very least they were fa…
