That is quite common actually. We call it contaminated sample

He's at least running, actual analogy would be people laying on their back sipping whatever they drink and say "it's not bad, it hasn't hit me at all"

I have two folders for git though, my projects, and other people's packages and such

You're right. But I guess we could say they know/learn what they need to survive at that moment of infancy. That's how natural selection works.

Sea turtles learn how to walk in sand, but I'm "guessing" most vital skill for them is swimming.

Interesting, I've known people to increase rent for just a guy or guys living, vs a couple because they don't keep things clean

Did it hear from the Vatican that capybara is a fish?

As an early career scientist, the poaching is only for leading scientists. So even with that a lot of people in US have to leave science, which was already bad because scientists made like half the salary of same expertise in an industry position.

I witnessed an interaction where a grad school professor used AI detector and threatened to fail a student for submitting "AI generated" paper. It was so stupid, even after showing them how if you just add a few spelling mistakes the detection says human written, or even putting their own email in AI detector to show an example. It's like the saying "little knowledge is dangerous"

It's also easy for real life. They don't have to produce different parts or maintain them, or update them. All of that is just changing software and what it displays, that makes it easier for them to develop.

But as we're realizing it, it's harder to use and less safe.

I want to join, but they don't let me

This is how I want things to work. Big Commercial use needs to pay, everyone else get for free, and open source.

I really love desktop applications. They do their job, you install it and it's done. And you can work towards next version and such while people can decide to not upgrade.

Now everything is cloud, they only maintain one version, they can change it whenever, you can't get any say, and have to always agree on their policies. And have Internet connection.

If I could make money making desktop applications, I would love that job. Everything is web and AI now

 

Hi all,

I like programming and do a lot of hobby projects. But I don't really do web development, or android, which seems to be what most work are about.

I like making desktop applications, computational projects, etc. i also like problems where I can solve/automate tasks using programming. I have like 100 projects in GitHub now, and I love contributing to open source community. But it sometimes makes me feel like I could be using that time to do things that could make money instead of working on projects that noone will use.

I'm looking for small jobs, independent tasks I could do for minor income. But if it's in python or rust, I am open to a bit larger projects.

Hi all,

I don't know where would be the best place to post this, but I wanted some people's feedback on a DSL that I wrote for network analysis.

I am using nom for writing the lexer and parser, then using abi_stable crate for data types so that you can write plugins to the language and load them dynamically as well.

This language is made to work by loading a tree graph (network) and then call a bunch of node or network functions that work on it. There are different ways you can run functions, and use node/network attributes.

I am mostly self-taught, so it took a lot of years to get to a level where I could write something like this. I am learning a lot and having a lot of fun in the process, but I want this to develop into something that can have a practical usefulness to people. Since I am in the field of hydrology, I am making it with river networks in the mind.

To try it out, you can either download the executables for windows from the releases page, or you can compile it using cargo (for all OS; except android where GUI won't work, CLI will work in termux). I have some basic examples in the Learn By Examples section of the User Guide that you can follow.

Please let me know if you can't compile/use it as well. I have tried to make sure it has required instructions, but I could have missed something.

Hi, I want a bit of help from community.

My native language support is not working on libre office. It's a small country so the person who added support long time ago probably didn't look back after the version changes so the files no longer are compatible (i think that's why it's not working). I can offer to maintain the dictionary file for my language, as well as add more words and such. How do I go about that?

I also am a bit afraid of having to compile the whole suit to test for changes on dictionary. But if there's no other options I can do it.

 

TLDR: Searching for person holding professor position to officially act as a committee member on a US PhD defense

Hi all,

I'm in a non CS field. I'm doing PhD in hydrology and I'm good at Geospatial Analysis, data analysis, visualization, modeling and such. I really like programming and have been making open source programs, contributing to open source programs and such. And have been learning rust for last 2 years.

For my PhD dissertation I'm doing a project where I'll be using Rust to make a program with compiled plugin system that can do generalized river related tasks including data analysis and visualization. I have professors in GIS and hydrology to guide those aspects, but I don't have anyone on software side to ask questions, or to look at my work. I tried emailing some people I have seen with open source projects on GIS+rust, but no response.

I'm ideally looking for someone that holds a professor position for my committee who is good with either rust, GIS related algorithms development, and programming languages. However, it woud also be helpful to just have someone woth knowledge about such things. In either scenario, credit and authorship will be given.

I appreciate any response even telling where i could find someone matching the above description. :)

Edit: I can also provide my previous projects in GitHub, websites and such before you decide in messages.

 

Basically, you can choose some slides from an opened .tex file to copy. It also has the function to see which graphics files are included in the selected files, so you know which ones to copy.

Here is the Github link: https://github.com/Atreyagaurav/beamer-quickie

The PDF pages are shown using the SyncTeX (if available) so that you can visually choose the slides as long as there is a single .tex source file, (might still work without synctex for simple cases).

I've made it on Linux, so it hasn't been tested in windows. You probably will need to compile gtk on Windows if you want to make it work. So if someone is really interested let me know, I can give instructions. Even in linux you'll need to install dependencies.
