“Epigenetics shows…” cries in evolutionary biology having demonstrated inter-generational plasticity for more than 30 years, totally ignored by molecular geneticists who discovered after everybody else that everything is not about DNA

If it kills your cells, it can’t be bad, right?

Reminds me of this website happily reporting that you should eat curcuma because curcumin was shown (?) to be a possible cellular anti-proliferating… 🤦

Some people did, look up the Peer Community Journal. Backed up by more and more organisations.

That’s exactly the goal of Peer Community In: you put your paper on some archive, you ask a “Recommender” to recommend the paper, they select reviewers and the lot, and they decide to recommend or not your paper after some iteration of the process (classical peer review I’d say). Then you can update your paper in a final version, with a kind of stamped version saying it was recommended by XXX (the peer review process is published along as well, I believe).

I love Linux Libertine. An excellent font for professional looking documents!

Sure did, yes!

Not particularly security savvy, but :

The infected devices then attempt to crack the telnet password by guessing default and commonly used credential pairs.

My understanding is that the worm is targetting connected devices with supidly simple credentials, which is why “Internet-of-Things” is mentioned?

Never mind, you need to click on “Filter”, select a particular filter and then input your search keywords. Not super intuitive, but it does work.

They said they would use OpenAlex instead, but cannot find a way to use the openalex.org website in any meaningful way. I can’t even search for an article in the database. Am I being thick?

Depends. Many journals in Evolution/Ecology are still free to publish in non-OA. It’s becoming rarer though because many journals are switching to full (paid!) open access.

You don’t really have to. You could save the workspace along with the history of you commands to load it at a later time, and never have a script at all.

The reason nobody really does that (except maybe if they use R once in every decade) is that it’s not really viable in the middle-term. That is because it doesn’t distinguish between failed attempts and actual, final code and so quickly becomes a mess.

Well, at least pi is real… Is that little hypocrite of i even rational? Hm?

Well, it does preserve the scientific editing system to a large extand so yes. I would prefer there is no embargo at all, because I’m paid with public funds and I don’t see the point of paywalls, but I get the Government has a to be gentle to the international editing scene to some point.

In France, we are allowed by law to share the final text of any paper for free after a 6-month embargo, whatever the publishing licence we signed.

It highly depends on the field and journals. In my field, most society-run journals are without fees unless you want Open Access.

OK, it’s clearer now, thanks for the explanation!

I don’t get how this works in relation with Element X. Surely, installing and using Element X is not sufficient to use Matrix 2.0 protocols is it? I mean, it must depends on the room version and the like, right?
