muvek··on Ask HN: What is the most gripping thing you have read recently?
Teleportation? Talking to beings from other planes? Walking through doors... How do you believe him? lol
muvek··on Ask HN: Share your personal site
I generally don't comment but I have to in this case:

Your wiki is absolutely motivating. I have spent close to 1h on it now and I'll be spending more. I will also be "stealing" from it!

Really great work there.

muvek··on Inflammation might be the root of preventable disease
Source needed?
muvek··on A physics master’s degree opens doors to myriad careers
Well, it's more experimental than applied, bad word I guess. It could've been theorical, but it was experimental.
muvek··on A physics master’s degree opens doors to myriad careers
My MS was in astroparticle physics (applied). That means I am better suited for data science than for engineering stuff.

Weirdly enough, if I knew optics but no coding I would be in a better place than the one I am in right now, which is: I know (a little bit of) coding but no optics.

muvek··on A physics master’s degree opens doors to myriad careers
I have an MS in physics and I disagree with this. If you want opened doors, go for software engineering. You have so many things you can do with software, seriously.

I have finished my master's in November, and I have been looking for a job. I have not been very lucky so far. I am looking for data-science related stuff. If you have any suggestions, please, I am all ears. (I am in Europe)

There was a time when, if you had a degree in Physics, they'd throw money at you. That is no longer true.

muvek··on Lemmy: Federated Alternative to Reddit in Rust
Where the hell is the source-code? Can't find it anywhere linked on the website..
muvek··on Lemmy: Federated Alternative to Reddit in Rust
Do you have a public instance? Does it federate yet?
muvek··on Lemmy: Federated Alternative to Reddit in Rust
Can you explain the 6 month thing to me? If I understand correctly, posts/comments older than 6 months get deleted, unless you decide to save it locally? Even if someone saves a post older than 6 months locally, others cannot see it, right?

That does not seem like a feature to me, and completely breaks geteather imo, sadly. Most of the good content on reddit is older than 6 months. Imagine if reddit decided to delete posts older than 6 months, jesus, every 6 months there would be a flood of the very same questions/posts/comments...

muvek··on SpaceVim v1.1.0 released
I tried setting up spacevim (edit: wrong! It was spacemac I used) a few days ago but gave up. I couldn't make auto-complete and snippets work.

Anyone knows how to make it work without having to spend hours? I was trying to make it work for python. Also, I want tab to be used.

EDIT: I am wrong. I tried setting up spacemac. I didn't know about spacevim.

muvek··on Ask HN: Physicists of HN, what are you working on these days?
I recently finished my Master's in Physics (with a minor in Applied physics, thesis in Astroparticle physics). I also have a BS in Physics. I've been looking for a job for a few months now and haven't found anything interesting.

Where do you guys search for jobs, in Europe? I was mainly looking for a Data-Science position, though I don't know ML yet (other than regressions ofc)

muvek··on Pixelfed – An alternative to centralized image sharing platforms
Twitter alternatives (mastodon), instagram alternative (pixelfed), reddit alternative (prismo.news)... Things are looking great!
muvek··on What the Hell Is Going On? Effects of Information Abundance
What's been happening with getpocket.com? Pocket fails to make articles out of the latest articles I added. I need it so I can read stuff on my kobo, but it seems to be failing miserably lately.

Pocket fails to make an article out of this url.

muvek··on Generative.fm – Endlessly unique ambient music
We use contextual cues to help in recalling memorized information. If I learn/study about ABCD while listening to music FFF, I'll more easily recall ABCD while listening to FFF.

This is why I don't see "endlessly unique" as something inherently good. It would be cool, however, to play it for 1h (or so), save it and then re-play it whenever.

muvek··on Floss decentralized AP-based link aggregator: Prismo
The "AP" in the title stands for Activity-Pub. The source-code is here: https://gitlab.com/mbajur/prismo/
muvek··on Ask HN: Alternative HN-Like Communities?
Prismo (https://prismo.news/) will soon be opened to the public as far as I know. Code is on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/mbajur/prismo/

It is a project I've been following and seems pretty interesting. A federated reddit alternative, part of the fediverse.

muvek··on Matrix at FOSDEM 2019
Those other "random clients" (as you call them) exist because your desktop client is bad. And I am being nice by just calling it "bad", it is the least performant client I have ever come across, even counting other electron-based software.
muvek··on Bye, Bye, Google
Your site is really performant Bogdanp. Mind me asking if you use a paid host or something like netlify?
muvek··on How I use my Raspberry Pis to help me work on with my side projects
??? Shouldn't that be "electricity" instead? Even if smartphones are popular among a certain segment of people, it is nowhere close to being as mainstream as electricity which has revolutionized the way we use technology!
muvek··on Show HN: JournalBook – Privacy centric, offline first, personal journal app
Is there some kind of sync mechanism? I couldn't see anything about account creation. You say "offline first". Is it not "offline only"?
muvek··on The habit of habit engineering
You show 2 screenshots on your blog post. What app is that?
muvek··on Show HN: Maskmail – anonymous email address service
Correct me if I am wrong, but this is the same idea as spamgourmet.com, right?
muvek··on Neovim 0.3 released
According to the README of that project, it does not support snippets nor auto-complete yet. Seems to be very alphaish..
muvek··on Neovim 0.3 released
I wish there was a good GUI for nvim/vim. I've tried them all and they all lag, either just a cursor lag when there is syntax-highlight (gvim) or when using snippets/auto-complete (nvim-qt for example).

I haven't found a single good GUI for nvim/vim. If you have, please let me know.

muvek··on Linux sandboxing improvements in Firefox 60
I was wondering if there are any benefits (security wise) in using snap firefox (snapcraft.io) instead of firejail. Can anyone comment on this?
muvek··on I've spent the last two years building a new email client
This looks great. I have two questions:

- Is this open-source? What is the license and where is the source-code?

- When can we expect a linux version?

muvek··on Privacy underground: a class on privacy, held at a secret location
I disagree with you. Encryption deals with privacy. Steganography deals with secrecy.
