@openscience @MarkKelson Thanks, I believe this really sheds light on the rush to publish as soon as you get results.
Unfortunately often those results are not reproducible due to how the code is written, which is often specific to the machine of the researcher.

I admit I'm also guilty of this, trying to become better and placing more care in the code.

@netico Io questi li multerei, ti consigliano di fare la differenziata ma poi ti indicano il cassonetto errato.
I mozziconi vanno nell'umido!!

@liaizon @d0n Alright guys, the ship's on fire; it has been a nice time but won't work anymore.
Someone else wishes to develop a new social network?

@sinistrist A bit confused this girl if you ask me, maybe she wanted you to move with her 😂

Something like that happened to me once: I was going to move away from Slovenia in less than a month and went on some dates with a girl, she was very shy and in the end we never even kissed, but she'd spend all the time saying I should try to get a job there and find a house and get a stable life with her and stuff like that...

@TheStrugglingScientists I feel so lucky, oh right: my supervisor is not a professor!

@marabel Thanks, I'll take a look.

So, what I ended up doing is the following: I have a folder on my local computer which is tracked through git and I sync this with a remote server.
On the server on which I need the software I do not have the git repository.
In the git repository I have all the documents I'm developing, a lib folder, a build folder, a deploy folder and a virtual environment.
I have a post-commit hook which builds all the software and in the deploy folder I have symlinks to all the executables I want to have on the server.
The hook also pushed everything in the deploy folder and everything in the lib folder to a stow directory on the server through rsync.
At this point I can update any existing software by simply changing the code and committing.
To add new programs I have to perform an extra step, which is to restow the folder on the server.
This works out quite nicely for me, since virtual environment and all build dependencies stay out of the way and I easily get everything on the server.
I might as well start writing some tests for my software, but that will come a bit later...

@marabel Philosophy of chemistry? Looks really interesting.
Why I know nothing about this despite being a chemist?

@xtaldave Immigration, if well done, can be very good for economy.
But you have to do it well and administer it in order to prevent clashes.
You have to provide houses and jobs for those immigrants in order to avoid poverty which would destabilize the system.
I'm not really sure how they're going to do this, they're going to increase their population by 4% in 3 years, that's a lot of buildings to add.

I think what Canada wishes to do is a good idea for Canada and that it may turn out very well, the main concern in the article is the disappearance of French, which doesn't seem like a huge issue or something that can't be solved.

However, it's very unfair to compare immigration policies of other countries with this one from Canada.
What Canada is doing will probably work but may not be applicable to other countries.
First of all, Canada doesn't have immigrant streams and thus they could close immigration whenever they wish to.
Canada is picking the best educated and most valuable immigrants, they even wish to reduce family reunification.
A lot of other countries simply can not do these things.

Overall, I believe that this is a good decision and that other countries could learn some things from this example; but definitely Canada is in an advantageous position to enact these policies.
