I once watched a Nobel prize winner present. His presentation was a Word document, and he presented by scrolling down. For bonus points you could do the same with `less`.
- pests 3y agoI bet presentations or Word documents weren't what he won his Nobel for!
- godDLL 3y agoAha. So he won his prize by his alonesome. With no exchanging of any ideas to any other party. Like, in his parents' basement, right.
- pests 3y agoWhat? My point being is people communicate and share ideas in a variety of ways. And if it works it works! We tech people like to get the "correct system" in place but for many it's just a means to an end. If he wants to use Word over PowerPoint or a proper presentation software that's completely fine. And he has the Nobel to prove it.
- macintux 3y agoYes, that was a bizarre interpretation of your comment.
- globular-toast 3y agoYeah I've met plenty of talented people who are terrible at presenting their work. I've often thought such people would benefit from a partner, someone understands the value of the work but is better at channelling it to the world. Like a producer is to a musician.
- dash2 3y agoJohn Nash was famously a bad teacher and presenter.
