Google Scholar Alternatives

Original Post

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/26113659

I'm using DDG or searx for all my casual searching, but haven't been able to find a good search engine for scholarly articles specifically. Scrolling through pages upon pages of forum posts and educational stuff for teens/kids is unfortunately too time consuming when I'm specifically looking for research papers. I'd also need to be filtering by year of publication since I need to know what's currently going on in my field, not what was going on 30 years ago.

TIA!

Where have you suffered some performance penalties using GDScript, and what was the fix? Was it to rewrite it in C#?

I'm curious because GDScript sounds like a very high and good abstraction for the engine.

Dynamic nature

Pros & cons of dynamic typing

GDScript is a Dynamically Typed language. As such, its main advantages are that:

  • The language is easy to get started with.
  • Most code can be written and changed quickly and without hassle.
  • Less code written means less errors & mistakes to fix.
  • The code is easy to read (little clutter).
  • No compilation is required to test.
  • Runtime is tiny.
  • It has duck-typing and polymorphism by nature.

While the main disadvantages are:

  • Less performance than statically typed languages.
  • More difficult to refactor (symbols can't be traced).
  • **Some errors that would typically be detec

IAEA Presents Sustainable Energy Planning Toolkit to the G20

Decarbonization of the energy, transportation and industrial sectors by 2050 is a formidable challenge, and getting there will require significant use of nuclear power. But whether nuclear power figures into a country’s future energy mix or not, rigorous planning is needed to determine the clean energy composition that will work best depending on country-specific factors.

The publication, entitled ‘From Knowledge to Action: IAEA Toolkit for Sustainable Energy Planning’, was presented during a side event held on the margins of a meeting of the G20’s Energy Transitions Working Group in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Introduction to the Rights-Based Approach

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/17796500

archive.org link

The field of social development has seen three major approaches to dealing with problems:

the Charity Model

the Needs-Based Approach

the Rights-Based Approach

For half a century, developing nations were arguing at the United Nations sessions for the need to recognize the right to development as a human right. With a growing globalization process and several political changes around the world, and with increasing pressure from developing nations, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Right to Development.

“The right to development is an inalienable human right by virtue of which every human person and all peoples are entitled to participate in, contribute to, and enjoy economic, social, cultural and politi

Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists

This might be a more interesting dive into Rust for those with a fair amount of existing c and/or c++.

I tried it out myself a few years ago. I had fun reliving the nightmare of implementing doubly-linked lists in C back in school! I never made it to the end of the book, though; it got wayyyy more complex around halfway than I could process at the time.

Easy Releasy by Jannik Boysen gives you one less thing to think about when releasing games on Itch

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1712737

Saw the author tooting about this project on Mastodon and I wanted to share it with everyone here.

We’ve all been there. You get to the end of a game jam and realise you need to set up an Itch page asap, or you’re wrapping up a long term project and you’re too burnt out to have the energy to even think.

This is a template pack that aims to take that pesky thinking out of the process. Just follow the template dimensions for the various images on your Itch page, and that’s one less thing to worry about and one more thing helping you stand out from all those unloved pages out there.

MakerCase generates box designs for laser cutters and CNC routers and outputs SVG and DXF files ready for cutting.

This is my go-to site when my projects require any type of box. You put the dimensions in and it spits out a cut file.

Tagging posts in Food and Cooking

We could tag the titles of posts, for types of post or food, say [BBQ] at the beginning then space and the title. I saw others are using [Homemade] which is awesome. By having it at the beginning it's easier to scan. Maybe another for [Cookbook] -- any other tag examples we could do?

Update 2023/07/27:

  • If your post includes a recipe please tag [Recipe] at the beginning of the title.
  • If your post is something you cooked, [Homemade]
  • If your post includes external resources (cookbooks, etc... ) [Resource]
  • If your post is something you just ate [Foodie]

Thoughts?
