    cc/ . Maybe we should get a projector and organize a public screening outside Elsevier's offices

    the “Paywall” documentary looks awesome. check out screenings near you, and free streaming/download soon.

    I’m continuation-passing style because I never finish anything I start.

    If I seem concurrent it’s because I’m a callback.

    Please don't avoid talking to your profs because you feel like you're struggling. Trust me, being a professor is all about not knowing stuff. It's our job to not know stuff and then try to figure it out.

    You know why "everything" tastes like chicken? It isn't everything, it's just all the animals that have dinosaurs as ancestors. Technically they all taste like dinosaur.

    Part 3 in my quest to understand the science of ASOs: what all the different chemical modifications to the DNA backbone & sugar ring do. As a non-chemist wading into structures, I'll be counting on my friend to correct me where I've messed up!

    Shitty airline travel is the absolute pinnacle of humanity to me. We found a way to soar through the high untrespassed sanctity of space and also found a way to make it suck the whole time. Absolutely iconic work by the species.

    Why I never use a textbook for any of my classes.

    Y’all UL has REALLY lost they fucking minds 😭😭😂☠️ They made the Wiley plus an insane amount to force students to buy the $310 modified book specific for the course! So that you can’t just buy the Wiley plus and use the online version of the text COLLEGE IS A FUCKING SCAM

    My word. Wiley annual report: "Gross profit margin for fiscal year 2018 was 73.0%" Remember, it's not just Elsevier we should be angry at for profiteering by placing a tax on public knowledge.

    Preprint on the cost of gold open access: Last year's revenues from APCs: NPG >$54m, Elsevier $53m, Wiley $42m, PLoS $37m, Frontiers $38m. Wiley's profit margin: 74%

    So, my "field marshall's baton" project (doesn't everyone have a pet language idea in their knapsack?) doesn't have a concrete syntax.

    Theorem. Every tweet mentioning syntax induces a tweet thread that converges in the limit on a rediscovery of S-Expressions/Lisp. Proof.

    Ominous indeed, but not surprising. Journals investigating papers they published because some folks object to the conclusions, or how other folks might “use” them. Would be the death of scientific inquiry- back to medieval times.

    A research journal has agreed to "investigate" the claim that bad people are using a research paper to do bad things. That's actually somewhat ominous!
