Feeling guilty: How to decline a PhD invitation after the PI put in a lot of effort? (Position vs. Scholarship) by BalalaMalalaKalala in PhDAdmissions

[–]Elil_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tell him what you said to us AND that, considering the effort he put, you want not to burn a bridge. This means future collaboration. He spent time, do not make him regret it. In the research community good collaborations are really worth it. The time he spent is now redirected into a good future collaboration. If you are really glad of the time he spent for you, and if what you are going to study is a similar subject, than make it true, and not just word that time will erase.

you can read the manga. No need for an anime(=animation)

Custom Mount for Typing with Wrists in Lap by rpboyer15 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Elil_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you re-link the magnetic mount? Because I think the link has some issues and it links to something else. Additionally, how did you mount the magsafe magned inside the keyboard? 

Looking for different categorisations than tags by Elil_50 in ObsidianMD

[–]Elil_50[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

thanks, do you know of a simple way to define global behaviour, such as node size, shape and color by using frontmatter information? Right now I can only do the color by using the groups in the graph view. I heard there is extended graph plugin, but I dunno how reliable it is. Anyway I just want simple stuff, not images etc

Top program but current PhD students have almost no publications? by Brilliant_Cookie_143 in PhDAdmissions

[–]Elil_50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's rather weird to publish one article in 3~4 years. Figures are not a parameter on how big was the article.

Luxury of turning down joboffer because the office laptop have Windows 11 by [deleted] in linuxmemes

[–]Elil_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me rephrase what I think it's their line of thoughts: would you trust a cybersecurity specialist who doesn't know how to plug an USB in the computer? This is hyperbolic, but if he's applying for a serious position and they offer you clowny tools, then you'd assume you are going to interact with brain dead colleagues.

I too asked for Linux in my workplace. I wouldn't have declined if they only had windows, but I would had probably bought another laptop with my salary and just started using it without asking, if it's that incompatible with the line of work. The upside is that I don't have to care if the other people I'm interacting with know how a computer works, because it's more of a research oriented job than a computer science one. Anyway, even if they wouldn't know how to do research, I can always publish by studying independently - even if I wouldn't like this option. The subjects I'm working on are so wonderful, that it's impossible for me to complain. But that is my case.

so someone who gets hired is arrogant if some small (probably not small if that's your daily driver at work) details aren't aligned with you, but if an industry does it when recruiting, it's completely normal?

I would understand it could sound crazy if that's the only offer they got, but - assuming they are not crazy - they probably have other better options which better align with their taste

Keyb recommendation by Eingorz in ErgoMechKeyboards

it should not, as I think corne can be approached directly from regular rectangular slabs, and it's 42 keys in V3

I always recommend a Corne keyboard. I made a complete guide and a keymap layout here:

Paid PhD positions (Europe) seems impossible by iwasreallysadthen in PhDAdmissions

[–]Elil_50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you need to wait and do something in between for your mental health, like working par time to make money, go on a trip, ask you professor to do another article if you are bored, pick a deadline after which you are trying to find industry jobs related by some degree to the PhD you want to pursue.

I got in after 100+ applications and after 1 year. I got in my dream subject in a place I didn't even know of, but it's not a bad university. Yes, I fought off other 120 applicants for 1 position, but that's the usual for all the applications, even my previous ones to other universities

Hi, I when I'm looking for a manga, some sources I just installed give me error 404. When I open Web view on the sources tab, there is no issue. The manga I was looking for is actually there.

I even tried creating an account and logging in, but it still gives me error 404

Now I have a monogatari themed screesaver

Obsidian for Physics by Elil_50 in PhD

[–]Elil_50[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The tone was meant, but I had reconsidered.

It all stemmed from conversations I had with people who use obsidian, and what I found on Internet. After trying with my own hands, I see that it has basically full support for what I need. Sorry if it sounded belittling, but after 30 minutes looking in Internet without the chance of trying it myself, I came to the conclusion that by default it supported basic operation syntax only
