libraries would be a lot more cool and good if we taught kids how to use them as they exist now, rather than teaching them the research methods of 25 years ago

even when they do mention electronic stuff, it's not taught well. is lexisnexis more powerful than google scholar and wikipedia links? yes it is. but the chances are approximately zero that the teacher is better with lexisnexis than kids who grew up around google/wikipedia are at using those tools

i rarely went to the library in college or even grad school. most cs stuff that i needed was online. i did have a research paper for one philosophy class where one of my sources was a monograph that cost hundreds of dollars and the campus library system didn't have. so i went to the library of congress and took notes from it in the reading room. that was cool. but that was the one class in 7 years where i needed the library. for most students the campus library is just a quiet study hall that happens to also contain books

A public library card will usually get you free access to proquest, gale, ebsco, lexis, westlaw, and a million other loving useful online resources from your home

maybe the search engines, but you're not gonna get full text papers from the journals without paying, are you?

lol sounds like college libraries should cancel half their journal subscriptions and tell their students to get a public library card and go online. there, i've solved the university funding crisis

the best thing about cs academia is you google the name of the paper and the first result is the main author's .edu website with a link to the "preprint" pdf. works EVERY time. ieee and acm suck rear end but NO BO DY cares because of this

also conferences matter more than journals, that helps

i remember second life, i'm amazed that poo poo is still around. in the early days it was a true secfuck, the linden dollars were just starting to be traded for real money, yet the code was full of vulnerabilities. you could purchase private virtual properties, which would block everyone not invited from coming into them, but it was possible to clip through the border by sitting down on an object in the property. so you could drop in uninvited on some yiffy furs having e-sex. truly a golden age

a good PM is great to have, but i can see why they usually suck, it's a thankless job that nobody with any technical skill wants to do. you have to interface with the stakeholders and argue about product roadmaps in meetings all day, and then the developers and QA folks who actually build and test that stuff don't report to you

Well i'm bored in vegas, got no plans till an early dinner meetup tonight and already got my defcon badge so i will answer questions till my mifi is nearly out of batteries


to be clear, jello, you insipid loving backwoods redneck moron, i banned business catte because i had people at work being tracked down to be asked questions about me by the yospos irc sewing circle and frankly i didn't need that much internet in my real life. i still don't, so i'll ban this account too when my batteries get low and you can go back to being constantly wrong for another year. you kids proved that you aren't capable of being even vaguely grownup about people being honest in here about who they are or what they do, so i can't leave the two connected


btw i'm not answering anything about work that is either obvious trolling or over the line with poo poo i shouldn't/can't talk about, or poo poo i just don't feel like answering, but other than that let er rip

I feel like that's an entirely avoidable situation even if you're green or gullible

if you're walking down the sidewalk on the vegas strip, every block you will encounter a click-click-click hooker card person. they will try to push the card in your hand, and they're making eye contact, and they're making a noise. only people from big cities know how to properly ignore this behavior. for folks from the polite parts of america, having to say "no thanks" every 30 seconds while you're just trying to gawk at casinos gets pretty irritating

I desperately and unironically long for something like Contributor to be widely adopted. If micropayments via ad network buys are the vehicle that allow long promised website micropayments for content to actually come into existence, I'm 100% down. All I care is that I don't see loving advertisements, and TediousPenisJokes.com or whatever continues to make money to pay server bills

i'd like to propose a compromise: how about we keep the advertisements, but you and anyone else smart enough to install adblock don't have to look at them?
