Well, #Apostrophe is showing some bugs, including backspace not working.
#Zettler, so far so good. But still gotta learn how to tweak it.

Damn, I miss #Typora. But will not fall into temptation.

Help! Anyone?
*sends this toot into the Void's hands, hoping someday I'll get a reply with reading recommendation or tips*
Thanks in advance!

how would I go about finding publications that have cited a given set of publications?

i.e., I have a few publications and I wonder if there's a nice way to figure out which publications out there have cited _all_ of them.

Does anyone know of a tutorial on how to set up a shell script to automatically FTP the updated files to your web server whenever you build a page? Copying and pasting by hand is tedious https://ageofdatini.info/essays/how-do-i-make-this-site.html

If your community/organisation/company is interested, I am keen to give on-line talks about #FrugalComputing, aka Low Carbon and Sustainable Computing.

Example topics are:

Frugal computing
On the need for low-carbon and sustainable computing and the path towards zero-carbon computing.

https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing/

How to reduce the carbon footprint of your digital lifestyle

https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing-consumer/

Frugal computing: developer perspective
On the need for low-carbon and sustainable computing and what developers can do about it.

https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing-developer/

But happy to discuss specific topics in this area.

(boosts much appreciated!)

I am collecting journals to follow, now that LinguistList ToCs are not sufficient.

Recommendations for anything that focuses on or frequently platforms discursive approaches to privileged rhetoric and/or identity construction appreciated.

Also urban history and urban geography stuff, and stuff about nationalism, especially if it intersects with the above.

If there are meta resources like LinguistList for related fields like discourse studies, CCS, etc, I'd love to hear.

Hey math/stats Fedi: Does anyone out there know if a historical account has been written of the development of the idea of a population in #statistics in the early 20thC?

I've read that it was Fisher who first developed the distinction between a statistic calculated on a sample and the parameters we are trying to estimate in the underlying hypothetical population. But that was an aside, and not in a real work on the history of statistics...

Media/journalism watchers: do any of you know much about TRT World (https://www.trtworld.com/), a public broadcasting service from Turkey? I'm seeing competing claims regarding this outlet -- either it's an independent outlet or it's a propaganda arm for Erdoğan.

I've been asked to appear as an expert guest on one of their programs.

Boosts appreciated.

🍍 We make no space for anti-queer, misogynist or racist hate on Scholar; we don't condone it; we don't "debate" it as if it were "just another idea"

🍍 Scholar is deeply critical of the institutions/hierarchies of academia but also strives to be supportive of the people working within it

🍍 Scholar is a space for you to gush about what you're learning; don't lose your sense of wonder

🍍 Wholesome/sincere is more the culture here than snarky/shitposty

Question for the scholars out there. I am contemplating learning a shorthand system for taking notes faster, as I still take most of my notes on (e-)paper. Does anyone have already learned or tried to learn shorthand? Which system? What's your experience? Any resource recommended?
(Boosts appreciated)
#askfediverse #noteTaking #shorthand

Hey #askfediverse people who use #emacs for academic writing: What are your favourite packages, snippets, transients, hydras and the like? Anything that makes your work with #LaTeX, #BibTeX, #R, #KnitR, and the like easier or more effective? I'd love to hear them.

Boosts appreciated.

And maybe @bgcarlisle knows someone who knows someone...?

#askfedi #academia

Question: What would be a good instance for hosting semi-pro, news-ish institutional academic accounts here on Fedi? scholar.social isn't it for good reasons that I totally get; what would be a good home? (Asking for a @TheBJPS and possibly my future self as well, if I want to bring our research center on Mastodon.)
