Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 17/12/2025But it was interesting because my ex-supervisor had all of these odd jokes about Ukrainians, like their purported fondness of bowling. Despite the fact that the movie deliberately mixed up Lemkos, Ukrainians and Russians I think a lot of the stereotypes must have come from this movie, given his age. 010
Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 17/12/2025I actually watched this movie last week, just because Western depictions of slavic diaspora are interesting for me. I did not have high hopes, and even then I was let down. Archetypal: "Americans will kill you, and then make a movie about how killing you made them sad." + racial/sex stereotypes. 210

Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 20/08/2025I just want to say that while I greatly admire Terrance Tao, I don't share his sentiment regarding the culture surrounding science in the USA. 000
Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Terrance Tao (one of the greatest mathematicians alive today) lost his main research grant after it was previously approved. If it can happen to Terrance Tao, it can happen to anyone doing research in the USA. www.scmp.com/news/china/s...scmp.comIs China stealing the march on science talent as US funding cuts spare no one?Trump-era cuts are hobbling US research, while China has stepped up efforts to attract science and tech talent, particularly mathematicians. 121

Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Lots of postdocs stress over their immigration to the US. The implication is that doing a postdoc at a "top" school is a golden ticket to a TT position. Really though, nobody gives a shit what school you went to. Research productivity is the best metric for success and you can do that in Europe. 000

Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 07/08/2025It works seamlessly with Linux and at the end of the day that's what really matters. The only thing I don't like is that the keybindings are a little counter intuitive for LazyVim (the ones where you switch windows). 010
Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 07/08/2025I tried to update VScode and it insisted on installing a windows bootloader on my Linux hard drive and downloaded some weird NVIDIA drivers. TBH I did not really like VScode all that much, and I was planning on learning Vim to eventually use NeoVim as my IDE. Maybe a little overkill but w.e. 110

Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 31/07/2025This is a small funding instrument in Canada that enables researchers to help prop up a dying industry. Contrary to popular belief, I do not think Canada is an advanced economy. Advanced economies invest more into economic diversification. Canada relies on its natural resource wealth. #science 110

Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Weird thing about Ukrainian, it is common to switch "D" for "Д" if you want to go for a more modern - or futuristic look. I can confidently say that in Ukrainian the two most hated letters are (in order): "Ґ" (used for Russian loan words) and "Д" because fuck 'em. 020

Mykhaylo Sorokhan Armstrong @magical-michael.bsky.social · 25/07/2025I'm not surprised an American government institution posted this, but I do wonder how you could paint something like this without having an "am I the baddy" moment. Excusing genocide because it was "normal" ignores many more developed societies who were not committing genocide at the time. 020
