These publishers are like bridge trolls. They didn’t contribute anything to publishing papers or pay the authors or editors of the papers. Yet they expect people to pay toll to access the papers.
Wishing for my death or a World War. Either will do. Because FML or this world.

Exactly. Imagine hating someone because they don’t fit your worldview. Just how privileged you think you are. That’s why I define conservatives as people who think the world must conform to their biases.
Yeah, I am skeptical. What would be the energy expenditure of actually storing CO2 into those blocks and what about transporting them? I have a feeling this is like carbon capture plants, great for the headlines, but not really a practical solution.
Imagine simping for a billion-dollar corporation. I mean, I love Sony games, Uncharted, Horizon, Spider-Man, but I am not going to defend them. Their lives must be really awesome, if they stoop to simping to a corporation.

500 dollars for a skin!? Either CS players are the biggest suckers in the world or this has to be a scam. Or both.

Epic simply doesn’t want to be consumer friendly. Epic sees the money Valve is making, but not the effort Valve puts into their store. Just how consumer friendly Valve is the reason Valve basically a monopoly. Valve gives so many tools to the devs too such as SteamAPI to make their games better and accessible to a wide range of consumers with a wide range of devices.
Epic knows that the way it can fight Valve is by pointing out their 30% cut. Everything else, involves making their store better, which Epic doesn’t wanna do.
It is a shot from one of my favourite anime. Plus, I love how the cherry blossoms look even in black and white.
When I said the winter is brutal, I meant it from my perspective. I live in a place where temperature ranges from 15-35 throughout the year. From my perspective, winter becomes brutal when temperature falls to single digits. I didn’t mean to say that temperature lower than that didn’t exist or people don’t live in lower temperatures. Sorry if you felt offended by that, I genuinely didn’t mean to.
This was something I witnessed in Delhi in 2021. Winters in Delhi are brutal with temperatures plummeting to single digit celsius. I was out for dinner with my family and I noticed a homeless man tucking three stray dogs in to sleep beside him. The homeless could have had just one dog if he craved company, but the fact that he provided sheets and blankets to three dogs spoke of his kindness. This man down on his luck was still being kind. Makes you wonder what we have been doing with our lives.
Gorgeous bird.

Of course.
To demystify the tech a little, the recommend the book Elements of Computing Systems.
BTW, I am also a Civil Engineer working in Tech. Computers can be pretty interesting at the lower levels, in my experience.
Wait for a while and Amazon will go down the same route.
Then shutdown your goddamn company until you find a better way.
When I was working on my PhD. I stopped accessing papers from the publishers’ website. Each download incurs cost to the university. Instead I used sci-hub practically all the time. These publishers are the leeches.
