I'm upset they lost all their photo and music data. Going back to old pages feels like visiting an abandoned mall.

I would love what you describe. Producers would have to design and manufacture like this from the outset (like you said) but also open source their CAD files. There's already a market for these things. But the prices are often crazy hi

I use seek by inaturalist for plant identification [0]. It claims to support fungi identification also, but I have not used it for that personally. It's a very popular app, so perhaps someone else will offer their direct experience usi

I think there's some truth to that. On the other hand, it does allow you to connect with people that you would've likely never incidentally crossed paths IRL to express romantic interest in the first place.

I think the spirit of it is somewhere between "you know what you are doing" and "you can envision what you are likely doing". The latter isn't quite as catchy though.

Agreed! But it's a frustrating experience when you find when a website or application doesn't implement Esc for what you find to be nearly standard behavior across other applications. E.g., it seems like 80% of lightboxes allow cl

Presently, for sure. I was wondering in the hypothetical, too, though. Authors really just need to provably show that they have a strong influence/presence on the publication graph or something. Although, reducing a researcher's e

There's likely multiple forces, but at least one must be money. Someone's gotta host the data, right? That falls on either the universities or the publishers.

It follows from your comment that we should have anonymous authors in addition to anonymous reviewers. Can a researcher establish a provable track record of doing quality work while remaining anonymous?

It's important to maintain a sense of self awareness about it though, i.e., recognizing you want/need to focus more well-defined task where the outcome yields a sense of achievement because you need a break from some larger&#x2F

I realize naming things is hard, but they confuse me. Are these due to historical quirks, or am I missing something? E.g., why is it called a terminal emulator and not a terminal user interface? Why is there a "y" in pty if it sta
