Hah no, I have never actually done that, nor do I plan to, and I never write my name, or introduce myself in person, with Dr./PhD.

During one journal club-style group meeting, our PI was tearing into a paper and basically calling it bullshit. We had a highschool intern in the group, and he turned to me and said, "but it's peer reviewed...how can it be wrong?"

It was mostly just so I could make people I don't like call me Dr.

Additionally, you can find the preprint of many articles for free (e.g., arXiv). Not the exact article, but often very similar.

(Only tangentially related to the meme, which is about publishing costs.)

I got an Orange Pi 5+ for Immich (pi 4 [4GB] was struggling with the ML features enabled).

Immich is awesome!

Cool story, bro.

Or my personal favorite, "that's just like, your opinion, man."

For the Spotlight issue, was this certainly a local change without consent, or was it a change in the way the query is processed on Apple's servers?

There is functionally no difference but it's a big philosphical difference.

I guess my username is relevant here...

One of the real downsides of ARM is, it seems, the relative lack of standardization. An x64 kernel? It'll run on most anything from the last ten years at least. And as for boot process, it's probably one of two options (and in many cases one computer can boot either legacy or EFI).

ARM, on the other hand...my raspberry pi collection does one thing, my Orange Pi does something else, and God help you if you want to try swapping the Orange kernel for the Raspberry (or vice versa)!

I did this in undergrad. Campus security stopped me, I argued, he called his supervisor on the radio. We chatted for a while, and turns out he was from Venezuela, had studied what I was studying, and was an overall pleasant character. Supervisor response was basically, "wow college kids think they're really clever don't they?", and I was asked, politely, to cease.

I felt like a bit of a dick after that.

Eh, I assume there are a phenomenal number of job descriptions that are just copy-pasted over. Native [language] speaker, 5+ years coding experience in [framework that's been around for 3 years], etc.

I think this is the real question.

Did they quit and join a competitor who offered a better WFH option? Or did they get a taste of the good parts of white collar pandemic life


no commute, flexible hours, work from anywhere


and decide that actually, their entire identity is not just their professional life, and maybe they should retire to see the world/spend time with family?

There are definitely some high profile rage quits over return to office, but I think there are a lot more of the "hey this was fun but time to take care of myself" quits.
