Well some of them are, like Polish and polish. I agree that different pronounciation is pretty exclusive, though.

Very nice! Fun fact: half of these homonyms work in neo-Latin languages, too.

The most important aspect is peer review. At least in physics, journals assign your paper to an Editor (a scientist), that may reject it directly if it is not scientific. If it is, they will send it to another scientist to read the work and (a) suggest rejection, (b) suggest accepting the work directly or (c) in the most common scenario accept the paper for publication after some revisions. The editor reads the review and the informs the author of the paper accordingly, and the story iterates until the work is fine for the reviewer. There can be more than one reviewer (a.k.a. referee). The editor is what the journal offers, together with some spell checking service before publication. Editors are payed, and referees only sometimes.

There are notable, noble exceptions known as diamond open access journals, like my favourite: the Open Journal of Astrophysics

I agree the default should be a short name!

A side fun fact: I usually do the reverse under KISS launcher. The reason is that I like to try different apps for the same social. If all the relevant apps are named "ABC for Lemmy", they all appear when I look for "Lemmy".

This is really what I see missing. I am a reader more than a writer on Mastodon, and this is one of the major issues.

Congrats for your work!

Maybe it's already there, but I'd like to browse other instances without creating an account, similarly to the anonymous view of Eternity for Lemmy.

I'm using the public instance routinely, and it does the job well.

Well this is how science works, right? You formulate hypotheses, build expectations and finally test them. For example, the expected influence of more talkative parents would be erased by other factors, like (and this is a mere example) the exposition to sounds in the woumb.

 

I'm a user of Impress, and I have a bunch of friends that have settled on it for their presentations, too.

We are generally happy, but for the video side. When you insert a video in your presentation, there is no way to pause and rewind, look for a point of the video. It is a known issue, open for 10 years, and we were wondering if there is a fundamental reason or obstacle for this feature.

 

Hi everyone!

I am using Kate happily, and I'd like to ask a question to experts: when I open a file over ssh, the terminal in Kate requires a manual connection. Is it possible to a) have it synced automatically, or b) use the same connection that Kate uses to open the files so that one does not need to insert the password again?

Thank you :)

 

Ciao a tutti, oggi ho avuto uno spunto interessante in una discussione con una collega. Vorrei chiedere il vostro parere a riguardo e, magari, se avete qualche link a riguardo.

La questione è la seguente: è meglio usare per i propri documenti personali una soluzione locale come LibreOffice oppure una soluzione cloud come Google Documents / Drive? Nel caso, perché?

Tra gli ambiti rilevanti del confronto penso ci siano l'impatto ambientale, la sicurezza e la privacy (credo si intuisca la mia posizione naive a riguardo).

I documenti personali a cui mi riferisco includono ad esempio le presentazioni per i meeting o i documenti per gli appunti; trascurerei il caso d'uso in cui è necessario modificare in modo collaborativo.

 

Io personalmente trovo molto utili queste piattaforme per trovare spunti di lettura. Goodreads mi ha un po' stancato per l'app pessima per android (fino a qualche mese fa, almeno) e da allora uso bookwyrm su un'istanza italiana che recentemente ha lanciato anche un book club. Voi invece?
