P.S. Even better: the Danish National Library actually has an OA agreement with T&F as well... however, this only covers a certain amount of publications per year for all of Denmark, and if they are used up, you better open your wallet.

Bonus points: it's not obvious how many publications that actually means. Is it, like, five?

@odr_k4tana the article, or T&F? 😈

My former PhD student still had an article under review at a Taylor and Francis journal, which has finally been accepted (yay!) for the low, low article processing fee of 3,505 € (oof!).

I think we can sidestep this because his new postdoc position is at NTNU, which has a blanket OA publishing agreement... but the nerve of T&F to charge 3.5k€ for a roughly two-year-long review process... (of which they actually didn't do anything, volunteers as usual) 😑

It has been __ 0 __ days since I've resorted to deleting a local git repo and just cloning it again from a different repository before I managed to figure out how to switch the remote 😑

@ewolff @weltraumpirat IMHO hat Merz' persönliche Agenda genau zwei Einträge:
- es Merkel heimzahlen
- eigenes Aktienpaket maximieren

Das reicht auch größtenteils als Erklärung aus 🤷

@regehr The core tenet of computer science: when in doubt, add another layer of indirection 🤷

Oh look, my quaint little hometown of Kempten in southern Bavaria has made it into international headlines!

Because a city employee embezzled 1 million Euros.

In coins.

From parking meters.

Words fail me 😵

(A 2 Euro coin weighs about 8 grams, so the whole loot must have been at least 4 metric tons overall. Impressive.)

@dotstdy @regehr @datarama @rygorous you might be on to something here: LLMs let those guys cosplay as a CEO. "Look how my willing code monkeys are building my grand visions!"

@rygorous @regehr I don't get this sort of huge un-understandable LLM patch. Why do people do that, fame? Certainly not working for this dude here. 🙄

@q3k @gigabecquerel hah, I have the exact same "thumbs up in front of expensive equipment I just fixed" picture, just with an entirely unrelated sort of device 😁

@Myphatself I'm using Linux (well ahkshually, etc. etc.) but the 7 or so different browser engines I have inadvertently running at any given moment eat up a metric fuckton of memory, no matter which operating system... 🙄
