Mavvik@lemmy.caOPto Political Discussion and Commentary@lemmy.world•Why arent US federal workers on strike?English3·3 months agoLots of good replies here but I’ll respond to this one. It’s pretty crazy that striking is illegal for federal workers. I never considered Canada a bastion of worker solidarity but our public sector unions are very strong.
In Ontario a few years back, the provincial government said it was going to pre-emptively introduce legislation to prevent one of the public sector unions from striking. The union responded by saying they would do it anyways. This very quickly spiraled into a threat of a general strike not just from the other public sector unions but also private sector unions. The legislation was rolled back after just one week (Decent write-up here).
So it is surprising for me to hear how the public sector unions in the states are so weak and I’m amazed that such blatantly anti-worker legislation was able to be introduced. In Canada, strong unions and stability of work are some major selling points of government employment and I guess I’m surprised government employees aren’t standing up for those benefits. Is there a perception that this will all just blow over in four years and if they can weather the storm, it will work out in the end?
I haven’t tried it yet but the concept just seems a lot more intuitive in a way that systems like NixOS and Guix SD arent. I haven’t tried those either though so maybe I’m just ignorant 🤷
I haven’t been able to find any info on that either than that Anna’s Archive mirrors sci-hub and that sci-hub has not been updated since 2021 so Anna’s Archive has a more up to date database.
I have found Anna’s Archive to be more reliable than sci-hub
How often does this actually happen? The cases where this does occur stand out because they are rare. I really hate the implication that scientists are not trustworthy because some individuals acted in bad faith. Scientific fraud is real but it doesn’t mean you can’t trust science.
Mavvik@lemmy.cato Open Source@lemmy.ml•Looking for Mentor (for a PhD Candidate) that works with open source2·7 months agoI meant stuff like that discord or the rust discourse. If you aren’t having luck there your best bet is probably sending cold emails to faculty that have expertise in the field you need.
Mavvik@lemmy.cato Open Source@lemmy.ml•Looking for Mentor (for a PhD Candidate) that works with open source2·7 months agoI can’t help with your search but I really think you should look into using Julia instead of rust. It provides excellent speed with the usability of Python and is growing in popularity among the scientific community. There are a few very good Geospatial libraries out there that you would probably find useful too.
Either way I recommend reaching out on the official language communities that tend to have more academics in them.
This is so stupid I love it
Did you try any of these and not like it? Yes -> geology
Mavvik@lemmy.cato Science Memes@mander.xyz•Humanity making progress like it always doesEnglish10·1 year agoThat’s a fair point. It still is a misleading plot since it isn’t an estimate cod population, and isn’t representative of population after 1992. As you said the numbers are still bleak. I found this plot
, Source , which does tell a similar story around the early 90s but indicates greater recovery in more recent years.
Mavvik@lemmy.cato Science Memes@mander.xyz•Humanity making progress like it always doesEnglish24·1 year agoThis is kind of misleading since they closed the fishery (I think in the 90s), so the amount of cod catch would naturally plummet. The fishery did, however, need to be closed due to overfishing.
I personally like scihub because it’s easier to get papers off of rather than going through my library’s portal for a lot of journals.
