@alesssia @barefootstache @culurciello I'm not sure, but this doesn't seem particularly easier than latex...

@rebeccatickell Yes, currently trying to get those skeletons in a presentable form in these days...

@diesch Surely a solution, but doing that over a controlled connection scares me a bit.

@freeDomForTooting Thanks, I do use git already.
When I write large software I of course have a repository.
My problem here is with small little scripts of some 20-30 lines that I need as utilities to perform several operations.
In this case the most important thing to me is that it should be quick to edit the behavior and immediately run it, I don't want to have to perform several different operations before I can actually run the script, in this case these would be:
- commit
- push
- pull
- copy to stow directory
- make executable
- stow the software
- run the software

Which is a bit too much in my opinion, and at that point I'll just write my stuff in vim on the server.
Someone mentioned git hooks, and that looks like a great solution though.

@valhalla No, this is not a good solution to the problem I've got for 2 reasons:
- I have a bunch of stuff in my ~/.local/bin, many of which are binaries and I often add or remove stuff from there. Most of that stuff is not developed by me, thus I don't want that to be in my git repository, moreover this would include whichever libraries I'm using/local environments in my bin directory.
And then, of course I would have to keep committing and pulling every time I edit something.

No me interesa mucho de este cosa de Twitter y tal, pero soy muy feliz de no vivir en América.
Como pueiser legal esta cosa?

Hello experienced programmers, I ask for advice regarding my workflow.
I'm writing a lot of small programs to use on a server in order to execute several operations and calculations.
My workflow is to simply open the server, open vim and write the code; then store it directly in a stow directory if it's python or its compiled binary if it's something else.
The more I do this the more I realize this is unsustainable:
- I'm not using git, which is problematic as I often have to come back and make some adjustments.
- I cannot use a different IDE, which I would prefer.
- I don't really have proper personal backups.

The advantage of this, is that I just have to write the code and I can immediately use it.
What I would like is: write the code on my personal computer and seamlessly have the software available in my server ~/.local/bin to be run.
I do not want to have to run rsync 20 times in order to do this.
Do you know how I could set up my system in order to achieve this?
Thank you.

@weex @CrimethInc
It can be a metric, it might even be a good one (often isn't though), but is it a metric that should be optimized?

@RichardJMurphy Why are you providing forecasts and not data?
Why isn't data before the 2016 provided?

You can't really make a point without that data. The data about visas is also meaningless without a counterpart providing the numbers of people who didn't require the visa before.

@Pat hahaha, yes
It's unfortunate I wasn't hired in another position in which I would have worked with psychedelics, that would have taken this to a whole new level
I probably would have developed some software with that name ;)

Tried this language model by Facebook https://galactica.org/
Quite cool, you can ask some questions and it provides you with a brief answer, sometimes the answer is completely wrong but most of the times it's adequate and could actually be used to further do some research; still it would be much better to just search wikipedia...

You get some funny replies at times, such as:

Question: What is the twitter?
Answer: twitter

Question: What is facebook?
Answer: Sorry, your query didn't pass our content filters. Try again and keep in mind this is a scientific language model.

@mikekav66 That's awful, I feel chemists in particular should have a good manuality. While I'm quite young, I did some mouth pipetting a few times. Just to get the gist of it in order to be able to do it if the time comes when that's required. Obviously did that with some quite harmless stuff...

@tylerjburch Is this reliable?

@MarkRubin I think I got him wrong...
