Most of my team members are using different named chats for discussion instead of channels, which are used for more important notices. Somehow it works, and our channels on slack were also basically chats anyway.

My only gripe is that Linux does not have a “native” client anymore and the web client is full of bugs on Firefox. But it’s Microsoft, what can you expect. It’s not that bad except for memory consumption on other platforms.

Is it a process that you do once and applies to any unregistered app I install now or in the future? Or do you have to repeat it for installing or upgrading different apps?

If it is the former then yes, it is effectively the same.

Given how many of these are clever tricks that I learned from seeing Japanese people eat, like aligning the chopsticks quickly in a plate or cleaning waribashi from splinters by rubbing them together, I’d not take all of these seriously, but it’s cool to know nonetheless.

Turns out being interrupted by a buzzing in your pocket gives you much less information to be distracted with than being delivered the actual message directly, and it was terrible for my mental health.

Mechanical watches are cool and look great but for most days I just use a Casio A158WA. It’s small and weight almost nothing and has a battery that could be measured in half-decades.

I’m not convinced this is really to protect users from being hurt by scammers, it is really about protecting the users from doing what hurts your company interests.

I'd prefer using a .csv with dates already converted to Unix time, but no luck convincing the other people involved.

I’m aware the experience will not be the same everywhere as PhD programs can be quite different, but many students that asked me if they should do a PhD are surprised when I tell them it’s not just up to the university or their advisors that they will get their degree and even more surprised when I tell them how early they have to start submitting their papers.

Even though I was well warned by my seniors, I admit that I also had this misconception to some degree.

Your supervisor may not understand this until it’s too late, and you may not have the ability to judge your adviser's ability to do so until you are committed.

The main problem is that you were raised in a school system where if you show up, study and do your assignments you are pretty much guaranteed to succeed sooner or later. A PhD is not like that.

This is great advice, think about something you have been wanting to do (or get back to) but could never quite put the time into.
