A slightly misleading title. It's not reading something on a printed medium compared reading that same thing on a digital medium. It's that the shit written on the internet has no educational value..
Isn't the play usually to look for alternative work while still at your original job? Or are you thinking going back to uni or something that wouldn't pay..
What would you be nervous about?
Might be a bit warm today.
It's supposed to be warm again at least.
Looks gorgeous. Unfortunate that Subsonic is under "likely impossible" features, but I will try this on my home PC at least.
I want to like Strawberry as a way to connect to Subsonic server on Linux, but it's just so clunky. I hate list view, as well as the theme..
This is the only thing I'm hearing about The Dangerous Summer? What is their new album?
I agree that publishers are the proverbial landlords of the academic environment. It's always been absurd to me that scientists pay to publish in journals, and readers pay to access them.. 😵💫
However, (maybe independently of the above) I think there needs be an interpretation layer between some scientific article and the broader public (not popular science articles). Too many times I've seen direct quotes from scientific papers, which are understood within their niche/expert communities, get taken completely out of context or just simply misunderstood. This is completely normal; not even scientists understand the language of other fields in science.
There's been a recent increase in some scientists creating Youtube videos to accompany published works, where they simply talk through their results in everyday language. This is probably in the right direction and helps bring real science to the public in a digestable but unbiased way (then the journal article serves as verification of their claims in the video).
This part towards the end succinctly sums it up. With those interests in mind, it's little wonder why we're in this mess, and why it will be so difficult to get out of it.
