I don't get the nitpicking here. Scientifically correct, since circumstantial. Meteor is also possible, but very unlikely.

The probability regimes in which science is dealing often only leave marginal room for alternative explanations.

Also compare gitolite, user management via ssh keys, but no web interface. Tiny footprint, can run on openwrt.

Hi, thanks for your comment. You are right, I wouldn't want to switch fields in research in the long term. For a limited time and project however I might be able pick up the knowledge on a particular set of skills (thus the question if a postdoc would actually help).

Ask HN: What next after PhD in physics?

Posted by _mjk on Wednesday October 04, 2017 @09:01AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hi HN! I am about to finish my PhD in experimental physics next year (Europe), and I am thinking about what to do next. I would like to get into CS, but I have no formal education. However, I am used to work in terminals, only have linux machines around me, know my way around git, have done a lot of data analysis and modelling in julia / python (setting up own packages, some testing included),...

Re:Ask HN: How do you organize your files on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @07:03PM (#14608736)

I use `mess` [1]. Short descrption: New stuff that is not filed away instantly goes into a folder "current" linked to the youngest folder in a tree (mess_root > year > week). If needed at a later time: file it accordingly, otherwise old folders are purged if disk space is low. Taking it a step further: synching everything across work and personal machines using `syncthing`.
