Nick @xinternic.bsky.social · 07/07/2026A strong 2nd here! I especially like it when writing notes primarily for myself, because I find all the shortcuts and the semi-WYSIWYG-ness of it make it easy to edit quite quickly with few mistakes. When collaborating with others, I'd usually use vanilla LaTeX because that's what they were using. 010
Nick @xinternic.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Certainly plenty do, but given all the complex knots people can tie themselves in with Git, I can also understand why they might want to avoid it for something simpler (if the authors are not otherwise particularly hard-core users of git). 010
Reposted by NickMatthew Green @matthewdgreen.bsky.social · 22/03/2026I want to continue a bit on this subject, which (so far) I see very little concern about. There are vast stores of private data that we’ve built up in various places, including messaging apps. A real “killer app” for Gen AI is to ingest them and turn that data into revenue. 33916

I know seven people with no job offers right now, and I feel like they would have had many offers in previous years. In my career, I have never seen this lack of jobs at the postdoc level before. 🔭 14378

Nick @xinternic.bsky.social · 03/09/2025On Mastodon there's an option to follow people but not see their re-posts. It seems like that would help somewhat. I would have expected that to exist on Bluesky as well, but I admit I don't see a way to do that in the UI. The closest thing I know of is the OnlyPosts feed. 010

Nick @xinternic.bsky.social · 29/04/2025If there were a standard governing the allowed length and characters in a password that was widely followed, do you think that hash-based password generation approaches (e.g. hashapass) could have been viable as an alternative to password managers? 010
