I love it as a reader when travelling, and books too long to print. I do take notes when i bring it to conferences, but most of all just to keep engaged, though to keep all notes at one place is practical.

Though when at home/office nothing beats paper and the possibility to visually have multiple pages side by side. Any research article I want to work through I print out, and I buy more paper books now than before I bought the remarkable. Paradoxically, the remarkable helped me realize the incredible value of paper.

:) Thanks! Been looking into learning rust recently, so will keep that in mind if I get it off the ground.

Really cool. Would this run on the remarkable paper pro too?

For the point of arguing with strangers, yes, I agree that neither PubMed nor any other entities will provide you with what you need. I don't think that it is possible to acquire an understanding of an issue without some domain knowledge, at least on how to get the data.

But to gain a deeper understanding of the flaws of any country's health (or any) system, there is no way around that except by comparing it with data from other countries. And that might be hard, which is why professionals spend a lot of time on it.

If your're most interested in blog posts google translate is great for exotic languages.

But for the data they're all there in English [0].

And if you're after methodology, analysis or understanding medical data, they follow WHO standards and publications are all in English on pubmed.gov [1] for the explicit purpose of international collaboration (which is the norm in medicine and public health for most developed nations).

I like it a lot, as I mentioned intellectually rewarding and I feel like most of what I learned at med school is useful. I also quite enjoy the occasional increase in adrenaline when at trauma reception or stroke CT evaluation. Also nice to both be able to work in peace and collaborate with clinicians. And personally I also enjoy keeping up to date on research which is evolving quite rapidly. The negative aspect is mostly what is common to most medical specialities and due to understaffing.

I trained as a doctor, then family practice for a few years, but since the middle of my studies, I realised my main passion was the more technical aspects. I did a bachelor's in electronics engineering while working 50% as a doctor the first two years, and with the last year dedicated only to studying. I realised a bachelor's would not be enough to get the engineering jobs I desired, so I went back to medicine and started training as a radiologist. There they agreed to fund me doing PhD research 50% of my time, and I am now doing a PhD using AI diagnosing dementia from MRI scans--basically my dream job, while working 50% as a radiologist which also is fun and intellectually very rewarding.

One of the biggest scandals in Norwegian health care at the moment is a botched transition to Epic in one of the biggest university hospitals. Doctor dissatisfaction has gone to the roof at the point where 50% of the doctors are considering quitting.

For my part time bachelor's in electronics we made an autonomous drone that could fly a preplanned pattern and recognize people through machine learning. Software: Ardupilot and ROS. Hardware:home made 3d printed drone,PX4, Nvidia Jetson, some Intel camera). Very fun and absolutely something you could tinker with as an hobbyist (it was basically a thesis on a hobbyist project).

We first tried with a raspberry pi based autopilot, it crashed and we rebuilt it again and again until we realized the GPS was broken.

Example code from the project for inspiration: https://github.com/bachelor-2020

It's just a heads up that it will not be on their timeline to fix. My empathy would be with the developers and maintainers of this amazing project (and all open source maintainers in a similar situation).

I'm in about the same situation as OP. We have a small cluster of Power9 and it's been unmaintained and unused for a while so I will set it up from scratch. Been looking into solutions that would be a good fit, for the moment we are just a few students/postdoc, so manual scheduling is feasible, but eventually we would like to make it available to other students at the institution.

My candidates are also - slurm + ray/lightning/etc. - determined.ai (maybe together with slurm)

Some advertise a kubernetes setup with kubeflow but I would imagine that is a bit too complex for a small cluster.

Anyone else with experience in this? Any other suggestions?

To make the environments as reproducible as possible it would be great to also have a setup based on docker containers and maybe nix, but not sure if it is feasible on ppc64. Guix and Spack have also come up in my searches.

There's no upgrade path. But if you wait until the early access of X-plane 12 you will get v11 free while it is in pre-release. It seems early access is just around the corner, I've seen late July mentioned.

Use emacsclient and have a emacs server running at all times. Super fast startup times, you can even use emacsclient -nw (or make an alias 'e' for that) in the terminal for fast edits with instantaneous startup.

You could also make a script that starts emacs as a client only if a server already is running

  #!/bin/sh
  if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]
  then
    echo "Starting new Emacs process ..." >&2
    nohup emacs > /dev/null 2>&1 &
  elif emacsclient -n "$@" 2> /dev/null
  then
    echo "Opened $@ in Emacs server" >&2
  else
    echo "Opening $@ in a new Emacs process ..." >&2
    nohup emacs "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
  fi

(Copied from an emacs starter kit but don't remember which...)
