I am a backer, after having discovered logseq as a viable alternative to Roam. Great project, and a great and responsive team building the system.

I just moved to a new university that uses Canvas, and while it is not perfect, it actually does not cause physical pain when entering data.

I worked with a non-technical manager (banking background, somehow wormed his way into managing development) who never asked devs what they thought a task would take. I finally con…

Scrivener is fantastic - used it throughout my doctoral studies

Headspace has been great for me as well. It has helped me in quite a few ways, including helping to reduce anxiety.

Except for searches on Google Scholar, ddg is my primary search engine. Very few times have I found that I get better results in Google.

Which extension do you use in Emacs to get the symbols?

Google did not come up with this - JetBrains developed the language and use it to develop their tools.

It has instant messaging as well, so I think that is the difference.

We are expanding it to a number of skin and ocular diseases.

It is a bit of concern, but we are not out in the wild yet so we have time to look at ways to protect the IP.

At this point, it is university research. The work has been published, and we are in clinical trials in prep for commercialization.

We analyze images of skin lesions and give a probability whether they are malignant melanoma. The analysis is performed on-board on mobile phones.

I first felt this when I was asked by a sales rep if I would be interested in coming to work for his company since I had exactly the credentials and experience they were looking fo…

If you are on a Mac, try https://freron.com/ . I moved to it from Mutt. It uses Markdown to write emails, has fantastic search capabilities, etc.

No, dead mathematicians

I would caution others to be careful about school policies before taking this approach. I teach in a university undergrad program and storing grades off campus is considered a viol…

Some did use SourceTree, although I emphasized the command line more. Perhaps I should move toward having them use the GUI versions.

The windows support was one of the issues that I was considering. I think you are right that it is a bit better than Git from that standpoint.

My gut has been Git as well, since I have always used it in commercial development. My guess is that the companies the students are going to use Perforce or a commercial tool since…

You are definitely right that they are not comfortable in the command line. They do get exposed to it quite a bit in the curriculum, but not prior to the Java class. I have been us…

Sorry - should have been clearer. These are undergrads in a 4 year bachelor of science technology program. They are not CS majors, so they have limited programming background in ge…

I regularly teach Git to students at the senior level that are building RoR applications. Even though we only cover the basics, they seem to struggle quite a bit with both the conc…

I use markdown (in Scrivener) for my academic writing, and include raw LaTeX as needed for equations. I used Word in my masters' thesis many years ago and will never go that route …
