  • The most important aspect is peer review. At least in physics, journals assign your paper to an Editor (a scientist), that may reject it directly if it is not scientific. If it is, they will send it to another scientist to read the work and (a) suggest rejection, (b) suggest accepting the work directly or (c) in the most common scenario accept the paper for publication after some revisions. The editor reads the review and the informs the author of the paper accordingly, and the story iterates until the work is fine for the reviewer. There can be more than one reviewer (a.k.a. referee). The editor is what the journal offers, together with some spell checking service before publication. Editors are payed, and referees only sometimes.

    There are notable, noble exceptions known as diamond open access journals, like my favourite: the Open Journal of Astrophysics

    What are some features you would like to see in a Mastodon app?
  • This is really what I see missing. I am a reader more than a writer on Mastodon, and this is one of the major issues.

    Congrats for your work!

  • Maybe it's already there, but I'd like to browse other instances without creating an account, similarly to the anonymous view of Eternity for Lemmy.

    Kids with chattier parents are more talkative, may have bigger vocabulary
  • Well this is how science works, right? You formulate hypotheses, build expectations and finally test them. For example, the expected influence of more talkative parents would be erased by other factors, like (and this is a mere example) the exposition to sounds in the woumb.

    Why are there no playback controls in LibreOffice Impress?
  • I did, last time two months ago. Unfortunately their presentation software is pretty minimal at the moment, and I prefer the fully open ODP standard. Anyways, at the time there was an issue with videos that weren't playing at all.

    Why are there no playback controls in LibreOffice Impress?
  • I saw a Libreoffice community but wasn't very active.. so I thought here I could find users of the software and experts on the possible technical issue. Hope this doesn't bother too much.

  • I'm a user of Impress, and I have a bunch of friends that have settled on it for their presentations, too.

    We are generally happy, but for the video side. When you insert a video in your presentation, there is no way to pause and rewind, look for a point of the video. It is a known issue, open for 10 years, and we were wondering if there is a fundamental reason or obstacle for this feature.

    A number chosen truly at random will have infinite digits
  • I think it's right

    Edit:

    TIL: when saying random numbers, some people think to integers, others to real numbers.

    What less popular text editors do you like or should have a shout out more often? What stuff do you do with it?
  • Kate is my togo. With a terminal panel and latex->Unicode plugin is perfect for julia. I don't need it, but you can also set up its LSP client.

    Is it possible to have a bookmark automatically open in a certain container?
  • Right-click on the link, select "Open link in new Container Tab," and clicking "Always open link in this container." This will set all links to that domain to open in that container.

  • Hi everyone!

    I am using Kate happily, and I'd like to ask a question to experts: when I open a file over ssh, the terminal in Kate requires a manual connection. Is it possible to a) have it synced automatically, or b) use the same connection that Kate uses to open the files so that one does not need to insert the password again?

    Thank you :)
