It's good to encourage software citation. I wonder if folks are or will be using these styles of citation even when they know they exist. I know when I've needed to cite software before, I just made a @misc entry, put the software name in the title, version in the description (or note?) along with a URL. No one worried about it, least of all, me. Kinda hard to see the push or pull towards this format other than an individual, PI, funder, or publisher mandating it.

@Craftplacer not all. but enough to be a perennial problem.

@Craftplacer I don't mean mobile phone apps, but web applications. few if any of them do anything to detect your locale and they leave off the TZ, so you see some event that happens at 16:00 ... somewhere in the world.

To calendar/schedule app makers: put 👏 timezones 👏 on 👏 your 👏 event 👏 times 👏

it's not that hard

@jeko not really...

I'm not sure what form it'll take but I think V2V chat apps will be a thing once (if?) fully autonomous passenger cars are widely deployed. I can't be the only person who's wanted to strike up a convo with surrounding drivers.

Clever extensions to the "two hard problems in CS" aphorism.

@dubiago the Alex dying was such a bummer. I did like how parts of the message from Naomi actually played like a goodbye from Alex, though maybe that's me just reading additional meaning into it.
What did you think of Drummer's story? One thing that didn't really connect for me was the relationship between Drummer and her pirate crew. Obviously she's attached to them as their captain, but they seem more like a rebound crew after leaving Fred Johnson and Ashford, so the tension between her old ties and to her crew didn't totally materialize for me.

Jeff Bezos is stepping down from the CEO role: is this important? do you care?

well this is f*ckin useless

What is an acceptable amount of insect parts and rodent hair in your peanut butter? If you're in the USA and eat food from commercial food sources, the answer probably isn't "none". As it says on the site, the amounts are expected to be less than the amounts listed: they're "defect action levels" meaning it's something the FDA would act on if that amount is detected, but it's worth thinking about the fact that we're accepting these limits already.

Funny, the example for a deprecated ORCiD doesn't actually link to the "primary": it just 404's 🙄

@izaya I don't know what I expected with "weapons grade waifus", but it's not what I found.
(They say they give 15% to charities that support veterans though...nice if it's true, but they don't bother to say *which* charities anywhere on the site...)

Points 2 and 3 were things I really hadn't thought about before, but I'm glad to see researchers arguing for more control of their work. https://info.africarxiv.org/africarxiv-supports-coar-on-their-input-to-data-repository-selection-criteria-that-matter/

It looks pretty small-scale at this point, but they have some videos that get into sort-of the nuts and bolts of how, for instance, you can correctly input mathematical formulas (e.g., for homework or research papers) more efficiently without vision to help you. It's slow work, but it's the kind of thing that genuinely enables education and growth.
