_mjk··on Shattered skeleton is first confirmed death from trebuchet
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.

_mjk··on They don't make 'em like Sublime Text anymore
Check out sublime merge, too. All the goodies from sublime text for a git frontend!
_mjk··on My server is a phone now
When I read about the browser 'surf', I first thought of the browser from suckless: https://surf.suckless.org/
_mjk··on GitRoot
Also compare gitolite, user management via ssh keys, but no web interface. Tiny footprint, can run on openwrt.
_mjk··on Ask HN: What next after PhD in physics?
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).
_mjk··on Ask HN: What are your favorite podcasts?
"no such thing as a fish", a podcast on four favourite facts of the week. Really fun to listen to :)
_mjk··on Ask HN: How do you organize your files
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`.
