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.

Meh, use latex and git. Then you won't have those stupid file names.

Tags on the other hand are the gift that keeps on giving.

git tag -a v0.999c -m "really the final draft this time, for sure"

Date/Time stamp in the document name.

Common practice in business.

End name with YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss

Use 24hr/military time, and you'll never confuse two files/versions. Plus you get sorting.
