    Yeah it is weird how self righteous liberals react towards being shown over and over that their group is to blame for this shitshow.

    But I doubt the US will ever leave NATO without a coup happening in the US. The US would basically lose more than half their geopolitical influence.

    I mean, I’d say it depends on what you do. When I see grad students writing numeric simulations in python I do think that it would be more efficient to learn a language that is better suited for that. And I know I’ll be triggering many people now, but there is a reason why C and Fortran are still here.

    But if it is for something small, yeah of course, use whatever you like. I do most of my stuff in R and R is a lot of things, but not fast.





  • Nowadays I work in urban hydrology and lead our team for general planning/asset management and data management of utilities company for a city in germany. I did my phd in river hydrology and hydrometeorology.

    I have to admit modelling nowadays is only ~30% of my job. I oftentimes wished that I would do more modelling, but thus is life I guess. Should still consider myelf lucky that I manage to still do that much modelling, thanks to my team being very competent, thus allowing me to manage with a very low hierarchy and still do some work myself (the pay gap is also quite small, so I guess that is fair).

    But remote work is difficult in that business. We allow a maximum of 50% and only 1-2 days per week for leading positions.

    You have to want to stop. I smoked 13 years, stopped several times, but the final real stopping was not that hard.

    What also worked quite well for me as a crutch were nicotine free cigarettes. I decided I’d smoke as many of those as I wanted. Started with 20 at the first day and it slowly reduced by itself over time, till at one point o completly stopped without even realizing it.
