<UmbralRaptor> Uh, no cython at the moment. Though possibly in the future.
<SnoopJeDi> o.O whence the pointers, then?

<FluffyFoxeh> TIL I can get free access to all the scientific journal articles through the university library
<FluffyFoxeh> the most surprising thing about this is that I wasn't aware or didn't assume this was the case
<UmbralRaptor> It's hit or miss.
<UmbralRaptor> But there are still Arχiv and sci-hub when not on a university computer.
<FluffyFoxeh> I think there's a way to log in and get access from outside
<SnoopJeDi> most places have an auth system like that, yea
<SnoopJeDi> it's a "solution" inasmuch as the person doesn't have to pay directly, but you still get the shaft in the form of infra cost at the institution level
<SnoopJeDi> (+ the guaranteed grift tax from your local shitforbrains admin)
<SnoopJeDi> if anything, centralizing the access that way might be *worse* for the state of the academic publishing ecosystem :(
<soundnfury> ... maybe it's time to reconsider my policy of only getting around to updating packages every couple of years :(
<soundnfury> SnoopJeDi: the academic publishing ecosystem embodies the Platonic ideal of brokenness
<soundnfury> does _anyone_ in that system have well-aligned incentives?
* SnoopJeDi gives soundnfury an ad hoc a priori disaster
<soundnfury> is it ex ante or ex post?
<soundnfury> also, de jure or de facto?
<SnoopJeDi> ex ante, other one depends on who you ask I guess
