The strain on scientific publishing 📄:
The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?
Myself, pablo, @paolocrosetto and Dan have spent the last few months investigating just that.

Ep canalla, que el 18 de novembre hi ha aquelarre linuxaire a Tarragona.
Jo ja fa anys que no gasto Ubuntu, però són bona gent i de moment no m'han tirotejat mai quan hi he assistit.
Si hi vols fer una xerrada relacionada amb el programari lliure, apunta-t'hi. I si només hi vols assistir, també!
Properament estarà disponible la pàgina per a inscripcions.

Per a construir un futur cal primer visualitzar-lo. Si aquest futur és col·lectiu, cal a més compartir-ne i confeccionar-ne conjuntament la seva imatge. El passat ens condiciona sempre, però alhora podem seleccionar-ne els episodis del seu llegat que volem que marquin el traç que volem resseguir. Però, en tot cas, l’anàlisi i assumpció del present, més enllà del que volem o creiem que és, esdevé indispensable per a avançar en la creació d’allò que ara per ara anhelem.

I migrated from Packer package manager to Lazy ( https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim ) in #Neovim, and it really was easier than I had ever expected. Simply remember to perform: "checkhealth lazy" once Lazy is installed. Reference video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ahI8lYUYgw
Gran article postmòrtem de Carme Junyent ( https://www.vilaweb.cat/noticies/morir-se-en-catala-carme-junyent/ ). Per experiència personal recent amb familiars a hospitals, el panorama m’ha semblat preocupant, sinó desolador, si un pacient incapacitat s’entén millor en català (i no precisament en el pitjor dels territoris). No em vull imaginar com podria arribar a ser tot plegat quan ho hagi de menester jo mateix en un futur.

Avui finalment he provat 'age' https://github.com/FiloSottile/age - És interessant l'opció de poder xifrar amb claus SSH de forma còmoda

For accessibility reasons, arXiv is starting to publish HTML versions of papers. https://info.arxiv.org/about/accessibility_html_papers.html 🧵

@lambo
I think this is interesting and welcome, especially on mobile devices. It is not without problems to want to quickly check some fact on your phone, download the PDF, go to landscape mode, find the right location in the paper, zoom in, etc.

He publicat un article senzillet sobre el que jo crec que són els avantatges i reptes de l'adopció de les eines del Fedivers per part de les institucions públiques:

Good article on #Running in Humidity (that is, in Barcelona during August) https://marathonhandbook.com/running-in-humidity/ - Worth checking with a dew point calculator (e.g., https://www.calculator.net/dew-point-calculator.html )

North American Ass Holes:
"we found that ass holes in North America—where feral donkeys and horses are widespread—dramatically increased water availability in desert streams...
The wells were also used by more than 57 other species, including numerous birds, other herbivores such as mule deer, and even mountain lions"

Just submitted my article on AI (https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.07515) to @eLife, hoping that they'll have a look at it despite it being purely theoretical research.
I have a suspicion that @ct_bergstrom may find it interesting.
The urgent aim is to not only reach AI nerds (via the AI section of @arxiv_cs), but also the community of experimental biologists who tend to sometimes forget about the organism, its organization, and the unique characteristics of living systems.

wrote a blogpost about using Haskell's laziness to implement a single-pass layout algorithm: https://jaspervdj.be/posts/2023-07-22-lazy-layout.html
It uses an old idea called circular programming or "repmin" introduced in 1984.
