Does anyone have a keyboard suggestion that is multilanguage and has a comma on the top layer? German without a comma is, troublesome.

Satellites are also a big use case.

This is not a superalloy (i.e. turbine blade material), just a strong normal aluminum alloy that can be additively manufactured.

This is not a medium entropy alloy, it's a standard alloy in terms of the ratio of components, which forms medium entropy intermetallic precipitates which gives the alloy it's prop…

Feel free to reach out to the email above, I think it's one of the most interesting jobs I could have gotten coming out of a postdoc due to the mix of physics and real world, techn…

I don't speak for the whole company, but in our project we are heavily Python based, Julia might be used by the central research team or something though.

Here are some example positions: https://zeissgroup.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job/Jena/S... https://zeissgroup.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job/Jena/Q... https://zeissgroup.…

Grad students at Cal cost a professor ~100k a year, and then leave after 2-5 years with any optimizations they might have personally made. They also only work 6-12 hours a day, and…

The others might move wafers 24/7 but they don't have three shifts of R&D scientists and engineers working to continuously analyze the results/improve yield/performance 24/7. TSMC …

I worked as a grad student in LBL/UC Berkeley for 5 years. At the time I didn't want to make a career of it, but if I had to go back to a national lab, that might be the one. The c…

I am 99% sure I know him - shares your same first initial? Tell him hello from me (TC Pekin), I always liked talking to him during some down time, and the feeling was mutual. As a …

I've made a website that does very rudimentary simulation of transmission electron microscopy diffraction patterns, as a tool for myself and other researchers. Was a big leap for m…

I agree with this, my alcohol consumption has really tailed off after I started training for a marathon. It is impossible for me to actually train hungover and the required amount …

I'm a researcher, so I do move/access a lot of data locally (10s of Gbs, not Tbs usually). Lots of Jupyter/IPython interactive workflows. Starting to run some more web development …

Whoops sorry for the late response - somewhat yes. You can configure a Jupyter workflow to work like this, but I don't find that I, or many other people do, as it takes more discip…

The way I get around this is to start an IPython interpreter, and run .py files with `run -i file1.py`. This loads things into memory in the interpreter, and then I can run file2.p…

Mind boggling pictures - really shows just a tiny part of the scale, and just how manual the whole process still is. I can't imagine the difficulty of trying to upgrade systems tha…

Is that correct? I am a postdoc at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and I'm at the TV-L 13 level, Stufe 3, which is ~3300 post tax.

This happened to me with a 8+ year old account. By no means was I a power user, maybe having only bought a few things over those 8 years. I go to sell a pair of shoes, the leather …

I guess this is expected, but still disappointing. Unlimited upload was what first got me to buy the original Pixel. I have been using the compressed photos for a while to save on …
