i mean just somebody finding your paper isn't gonna get you a citation. when it comes to that stuff who you know in the field, journal impact factor, etc, matter way more than "does this paper show up in search results."

plus all the big names just do a press release anyway

wait is there a librarian that will read hundreds of journal articles, critically analyze them to only give me the most relevant ~50 or so and then add them to a reference manager for me? cause if so then gently caress yeah I'll give up a tech-based approach to lit review

my point was that using something like google scholar to find shitloads of papers isn't what you'd use a librarian for, so equating the two is loving dumb. The critically analyze part was that you have to read a bunch of papers to know what the relevent ones are. I can't just go to a librarian and say "give me everything on forebrain ischemia" because that'd be literally thousands of articles, not that I think google does that for me.

I use the Google voice typing recognition thing on my phone all the time to make posts. It works with surprisingly high-reliability. Aside from the occasional weird capitalization or homophone interchange, it's pretty solid.

I made this post using that technique, for instance. No Corrections

The only really frustrating thing about Google's implementation is that you can't add quotation marks. If you try you get quote four score and seven years ago on quote.

facebook runs on php so pretty much every "we can't because of the language" really has nothing on that.

i can't even begin to understand how a platform that already allows you to block users won't let you block certain other users. is that just meant to satiate techignorant board members?

i did the ground school part of pilot's license and then when i found out how much it cost to pay for all those flight instructor hours i said "i will do this later."

i took one lesson and in the air was fun but he made me land (he was helping) and the whole time i thought "isn't this something you should be doing this feels weird."

we had to learn everything with the loving awesome manual tools that were invented because my flight instructor said that digital sucks and fails all the time and if you rely on that you'll definitely die. he scoffed at people who take ipads up into their plan to chart their course and stuff. we did it all on big maps and it was cool as heck.
