I heard it from another source, and then the story was that he called it tadpole, and the editor complained that it sounds too silly. So then he said "well, then I'm going to call it a spermion", and the editor shuts up after that.

While on the subject on Feynman diagrams and names... You know the Tadpole?

In 1985 Coleman stated (perhaps as a joke) that Physical Review’s editors rejected the originally proposed name "spermion".

bring down the average temp by ~10 to 15c.

Your cpu temp is at 15C? Is your room very cold, otherwise will you not have problems with condensation?

Edit: nvm, you mean 10-15c, I just read it wrong in my head.

What does "percentage change in homelessness per 10,000 residents" mean? I read it to mean that if it says say 85, that is a percentage per 10,000, so I multiply 85 with the number of non-homeless population of the city (residents) and divide by 10,000. The resulting number is the percentage change in homelessness. I'm very confused.

It's not important...

Is there a test to see if your cpu has deteriorated?

At least a lot of Swedish parties had an anti-China message for the EU election. Those parties are also very anti-infrastructure, so idunno, maybe?

When I was in academia, my inbox was like 40% emails like "publish your next article here", " you are invited to conference x", "your article on x". You get a lot of spam that is generated with text snippets from your work, so it is very targeted. You just have to start ignoring most emails. The other 60% is just work convos from known sources, so it is very easy to separate the two. Or kind of... you could still get an invitation or a review request, but you sort of know peoples names and names of joirnals. I guess its just hard to get by this.

I had the option for some compensation for my reviews. Very little, but still.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

I have been the referee for two articles at an academic journal. It said in their agreement that for three or more papers per year you'd be compensated this and that much. But I guess I misunderstood because they emailed me and asked to pay me for just the two reviews. Anyhow, it basically no money. The time you put in to do a proper review is a lot more than what you are compensated for. Your uni still pays your salary, so this is just a bonus, but still, very little. This journal is hosted by a public entity, private ones may be very different.

Hi,

I'm looking for some way to send my own alerts via e-mail in some way. Whenever I try to search for this, most docker images have a much grander goal, and I have a hard time understanding how to use them for my purpose.

What would I want? It'd be nice to have a docker running some smpt-server (I suppose), so that I can make my own python script that scrapes a website, looks at some metric, and e-mails me whenever whatever I'm looking for is found. I only want it to be available on and to receive mails from localhost, no dns, just forward e-mails to my personal one, no web-interface, etc.

I'm quite new to self-hosting, but I hope you still understand what I'm looking for. Is it possible? Should I look for another solution? Will this not work? Any help/input very much welcome.
