A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.

I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things, too.

  • Uh, nicht dass ich wüsste. Also Tofu hat schon einen charakteristischen Geruch und Geschmack. Ich weiß, dass einige Leute den mögen und andere nicht. Aber außer ignorieren, übertünchen oder gar nicht erst Tofu verwenden, fällt mir da jetzt nichts ein … Es gibt aber zig verschiedene Tofu-Varianten. Von Quark-Konsistenz bis ordentlich fermentiert und ziemlich fest, gibt es da ganz viele Abstufungen in einem gut sortierten Asia-Laden. Und man kann die auch relativ roh essen, bis länger in Marinade/Sojasauce/Räucherpaprika einlegen. Aber ich glaube so ganz weg, geht das nie.








  • That’d be the body text of the post:

    Also: how do you identify a work as peer reviewed?

    Then HubertManne directly replied to that: “If its peer reviewed then …”

    Then I replied saying, everything after the “then” (the main text of the comment) has nothing to do with peer review but is a different concept. So no one gets the impression you can make the judgement the other way around: If it’s doing that, then it’s peer-reviewed. Because that’d be wrong.

    And then we started having this lengthy discussion. Do you concur? Or are we having some technical difficulties, and we’re somehow seeing a different post/comment tree?


  • That is because the first 4 or so words are about the topic. And then is a long paragraph describing something else. And I didn’t do any accusations. I pointed out that those several sentences are about reproducibility and not to be mistaken for the topic at hand. And they are. So I don’t get it, I don’t think I made any whoopsie. I just pointed out that we’re now talking about a different topic and reproducibility isn’t review. Which is true… Seems to me everyone is right? I don’t see any factual disagreement here. And if my “accusation” is saying they talked about reproducibility… That’s kind of what happened?!






  • Though, that’s not peer review. What you’re describing is reproducibility. And that’s the very minimum to qualify as science. If it doesn’t describe the experiment well enough so an expert can follow it… It’s not even proper science.

    Peer review means, several expert in that domain already took some time to go through it and point out flaws, comment on the methodology and gave a recommendation to either publish it or fix mistakes. It’s not the ability to do it, but that it actually already happened. And it has to be other researchers from the same field.

    And there is even another possible step after that, if an independent other research group decides to reproduce the experiment and confirm and verify the results.
