I don’t know if first authorship needs to go away. I’ve definitely been 2nd or 3rd author for a few days of work (as compared to months of work for the first author).

You can give detailed attribution (many papers require them nowadays), but no-one ever reads them.

Unfortunately there are many counterexamples, large animals that live long in the wild tend to have shorter lives in zoos, like elephants, hippos, and monkeys.

Most consumers are familiar with the 802.11 standards

Lol, no. Not in any way.

Ceci n’est pas perdu

https://filebrowser.org/ just exposes a filesystem you point it at. Never had problems wit this. For syncing you can use syncthing.

Just testing how deep Cunninghams law will go haha

Nono, these are d orbitals. Although p orbitals are equally silly.

Also very much a problem in Europe sadly. Of course not allowed, but pretty hard to detect. There are test that can tell the difference, but they are not accepted by the EU (yet?).

Post, Railway, just FYI.

Anyone have an recent example of FDC Willard being thanked in a paper? I couldn’t find any, sadly

I should really start doing that, not sure why I’ve never thought of that

Are you sure? It looks like the coastline in France… I don’t recognize the Netherlands here at all. What coastline are we looking at exactly? I don’t see the afsluitdijk, nor recognize the surrounding coastline. Also, I have never heard anyone refer to it as Zuiderzeedam.

I found 2, but I am sure there are more. https://masto.host/ https://toot.io/mastodon_hosting.html

Christian Horner?

Yeah, F1 driver Max Verstappen is in a similar situation. Clearly insanely talented, but probably got there by having a childhood which was pretty fucked up (left at gas station by father in Italy if he lost a karting race, etc.).

Maybe we miss out on a couple of savants without this kind of treatement, but it is a pretty good tradeoff, especially if you think about all the kids that did not make it to the top, and just had a abusive childhood without anything to show for it.

Wikipedia actually has an article about it. They are mainly bothered by the unreadability of it. Editors can indeed bundle citations as you suggest, but it takes some manual effort.

Citation overkill is also a bit of a red flag for edit wars, or barely-notable things that someone really wants to have on a wiki page.

Just a warning: this takes pretty much every bad FF trope you can think of and turns it to max. Awful reading.

Uhh, yes they do. This does not take much googling to find out. Capitalist companies produce spices in the east too.

People really think this. Most peoples knowledge stops at “evolution is when thing become better”. And people that do realize don’t talk about evolutionary pressure in the gut microbiome in the comic community.

I get cold just thinking about this. Turning off the shower is my least favourite part of showering. Why repeat the experience several times in one session?
