Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

a somewhat suboptimal tool

AKA the best we have around.

If something appeared that handled opaque data better, it would take some thinking before creating the repository. Currently, there's no reason to think at all.

Outside of being able to comment on each revision when making a commit, I guess I don't see what benefit this provides that regular, automated backups (such as Time Machine) don't.
