Given that many conferences want full papers submitted (and I’m increasingly inclined to think this is the way to go for DH too), I don’t think “avoiding spoilers” needs to be a consideration though. You should spell out all the conclusions.

Still, whoever wrote that has certainly set a new bar for arrogant and patronizing assumptions!

That’s astonishing. (But I’d be careful about assuming the reviewer who said that was native Anglophone without further evidence…)

At first I read that in Celsius and was envious but also deeply confused by the “feels like”

A meal almost but not entirely unlike Thanksgiving dinner. I can’t decide whether to brave my substitute for cranberry sauce.

We're hiring! @univie.ac.at is seeking a TT Assistant Professor in the Psychology of Digitalization. If your work is about automation, AI, or immersive technology (e.g., VR) in the context of work and organizations (broadly defined), we’d love to hear from you. 👇

The first thing I had to write in uni that was longer than 10 pages was the bachelor’s thesis, and that got more structured supervision.

By my senior year I had worked out that I could produce about one page per hour for any writing assignment, and then it became impossible to make myself start more than N hours before the deadline. This was, as you say, unhelpful for grad school.

Time was, you contributed to an edited collection or resource and got a free copy of the thing. Now you get three months of free access to the online version. Somehow it's just not the same...

I managed to get all the way to this many years old before having to go through my prose and murder Oxford commas to conform to a stylesheet. It hurts.

Yep I had to learn all about that in one of my CS classes in the 90s!

Possibly the biggest roadblock to my uptake of #AI assistants is the fact that I have always been terrible at delegating.

I know, but if I have to pick an answer that’s the one I give.

I thought the whole point of agreeing to do book reviews was getting a free physical copy?
