If the research was conducted with public money, it should be freely accessible by the public, change my mind...
It could be fun to implement this under *NIX for fun
cronjob to take screenshots, some OCR, throw it in a database...I'd never want to use this "feature" but as an academic exercise it could be a fun project.
But having it implemented by my OS, and not by me...yikes. No thanks.
My 2¢ is that running Linux, you play the role of user and of sysadmin. On some distros you only put on the sysadmin hat once in a blue moon, but on others you're constantly wearing it.
My Arch experience is a few years out of date; I felt I played sysadmin more than, say, Debian Stable, but it wasn't too onerous. I also had an older Nvidia card, so there were some...fun issues now and then.
I use Debian on my machines now, and am happy. Try some different distributions! Even better, have /home on its own partition (better yet, own disk)
changing distros can be nice and easy without worrying about your personal data.
I just tried that and got the same result. It's from a site that just quotes a snippet of an Onion article 🤦
Well, that's kinda besides the point right? The composition of "natural" food has huge variation. There is no "nutritional content of a banana." There's the nutritional content of this banana, of that banana, of an unripe banana, of a ripe banana, of an overripe banana...but these can be hugely different. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8266066/
For highly processed foods, I agree.
But for relatively unprocessed foods, seems completely reasonable to me at first glance. The relative sugar content of, say, an apple, is dependent on all sorts of parameters (sun, water, soil...). The gluten content of wheat, iron content of vegetables, all of these things are variable. The more "natural" a food is, the higher the variability (as opposed to, say, artificial candy
that should be pretty uniform).
Yeah, but where's Starfleet HQ?!
Makefile in other comments. You'll need something like this on the title page (this assumes you use my Makefile which puts the version in VERSION.tex [that's the literal name of the file, not a placeholder]):
{\bf{\color{red}DOCUMENT REVISION:}} {\color{blue}\input{VERSION}}
I also had some Makefiles in other directories, e.g., for my media/ I had:
MAKE = make -s
RECURS = svgs/
recurs: $(RECURS)
@$(foreach DIR, $(RECURS), \
echo "MAKE (CD) $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)"; \
$(MAKE) -C $(DIR) $(MAKECMDGOALS);)
@echo "MAKE (CD) $(CURDIR)/"
all: recurs
clean:
allclean: recurs clean
and for media/svgs/:
SVG_FILES := $(wildcard *.svg)
PDFDIR := ./
PDF_FILES := $(patsubst %.svg,$(PDFDIR)/%.pdf,$(SVG_FILES))
all: $(PDF_FILES)
clean:
@rm -f $(PDF_FILES)
@echo "SH (RM) Tidying up derived PDFs"
allclean: clean
$(PDFDIR)/%.pdf: %.svg
@inkscape -T --export-pdf=$@ $<
@echo "INK (PDF) $<"
Sure thing. This also includes the beamer bit which I used for my defense. It's all pretty hacky but hope it's useful!

Very cool. I know someone, in a fairly small but funded field, who had this sort of requirement
Elsevier had the relevant publication, but they couldn't publish there due to access policies (or it was going to be painful to do so at any rate). So they started their own publication!
I forgot the specifics, but it essentially uses arXiv as the backend, and there's a (commercially available?) frontend that lets editors and reviewers do their thing. "Publishing" in this journal is essentially just endorsing an arXiv paper; so it's open access by design.
Really cool stuff. Their field is small enough that iirc they could kinda get critical mass to give Elsevier the finger and adopt this new platform. Warm fuzzy feeling thinking about it!
