I don't get the nitpicking here. Scientifically correct, since circumstantial. Meteor is also possible, but very unlikely.

The probability regimes in which science is dealing often only leave marginal room for alternative explanations.

People who haven't spent much time around scientists or watched them work often have a mistaken idea of just how precise the work is. Even high precision work can be found later to be wrong! That's just the system working as designed. But impugning scientists for just doing their jobs is really a bad smell, and unfortunately on this webforum it happens way too much.

Check out sublime merge, too. All the goodies from sublime text for a git frontend!

When I read about the browser 'surf', I first thought of the browser from suckless: https://surf.suckless.org/

Also compare gitolite, user management via ssh keys, but no web interface. Tiny footprint, can run on openwrt.

Hi, thanks for your comment. You are right, I wouldn't want to switch fields in research in the long term. For a limited time and project however I might be able pick up the knowledge on a particular set of skills (thus the question if a postdoc would actually help).

"no such thing as a fish", a podcast on four favourite facts of the week. Really fun to listen to :)

it's my current favourite :)

I use `mess` [1]. Short descrption: New stuff that is not filed away instantly goes into a folder "current" linked to the youngest folder in a tree (mess_root > year > week). If needed at a later time: file it accordingly, otherwise old folders are purged if disk space is low. Taking it a step further: synching everything across work and personal machines using `syncthing`.
