They're releasing macOS a whole month earlier than usual, with fewer beta releases than usual. I believe this is the first time they will have released macOS and iOS on the same da…

When I got a job in academia and was faced with creating my first conference poster, I was amazed to discover PowerPoint is the customary software for creating them. It does a pret…

This happens a lot in PDX and it makes me furious. It's like putting a hit out on the pedestrian crossing the street. I would like to see how the people honking their horns would l…

More than one. Here's two sources indicating at least four more lawyers out there using fake ChatGPT case citations. https://reason.com/volokh/2023/05/27/a-partner-at-a-big-firm...…

This is a good basic overview, goes beyond tagging/indexing, was the textbook in LIS501 Information Organization and Access at UIUC-GSLIS (now the iSchool at Illinois) in 2006: htt…

No, it's old, and an outdated mindset. Since 2004 Wikipedia has greatly matured and most educators have relaxed their stance on it. I'm a librarian and my take on Wikipedia is that…

I miss Topic Maps.

Lots of criticism collated at the article's PubPeer page: https://pubpeer.com/publications/693A0D3B374ACED0103ADDEA0D9... The PubPeer browser extension is worthwhile: https://pubpe…

Evolution doesn't necessarily imply "new species" (species is actually a pretty vague term) and dictionary definitions are limited. Try this resource instead: https://evolution.ber…

There's a bunch of Electronic Lab Notebook platforms out there, someone already replied to you mentioning OSF. Others include Benchling and LabArchives. This Nature article is a go…

Most todo apps don't really cater to the idea of a reusable list. Items effectively disappear once checked off, unless they're repeatable, in which case a new task is generated at …

This is excellent work! I've currently got all my reusable checklists in Remember the Milk, but they get lost in there among all my other hundreds of todos. I'm always surprised ho…

Interesting. I've never been a patron of a public library in the United States that charged patrons fees for ILL, and neither of the universities I've attended charged for it, eith…

I think there was less awareness around ASD at the time and people didn’t really talk about it the way they do now. That said, it links to the classic “Fanspeak” at the bottom, whi…

I read it before the stuff about the replicability issues surfaced and got around 75% through it. There’s useful stuff in it but it’s too long and I quit because it started to feel…

Does your institution's library not offer interlibrary loan?

Given that her research is heavily focused on how people learn how to program, I can't imagine that any recommendations she might have regarding speed reading code would not be inf…

A cursory look at what I suspect is your GitHub profile reveals you could stand to learn something about good variable naming. Her research focuses on the cognitive processes invol…

I self-diagnosed Aspergers in the mid 2000s. The primarily inattentive subtype of ADHD is a better match for my symptoms, particularly the social ones, but both my psychiatrist and…

Since ADHD is a neurobiological disorder that people are born with, and because undiagnosed ADHD can cause depression, it should be ruled out before diagnosing depression. Same wit…

There's a growing group of psychologists who say laziness is a myth. It doesn't exist. When someone is being what we would call lazy, there is almost always something else going on…

I'm really glad to see that this is the top comment. This was my first reaction too, sounds a lot like ADHD.

It's ADHD when it seriously negatively affects your quality of life.

Yes yes yes to all of this! I was fortunate to have a local medical school with a psychiatry department that has an Adult ADHD clinic where I could seek a diagnosis at the age of 4…
