Almost unrelated, but this is one of the domains that just show up as "Server Not Found" by default to users in Germany. It's getting blocked by ISPs on the domain level after a "voluntary agreement" with copyright holders:

Get out while you still can! I think a lot of software engineers are only content with their job because they're unaware to the alternatives to working as a corporate drone. You might be good at it and it might comfortably bring in a lot of money but it doesn't sound like that's what you truly care about so they're not really convincing arguments.
>You truthfully replied that it was just your lack of sleep that was to blame, but you conveniently left out the fact that your sleeplessness was the result of staying up all
night researching Mad Cow Disease. Yikes!
>This study appears to focus on short term memory, but for my money, long-term memory is much more significant. As such, it would have been useful to add a third option: using a SRS system like Anki
Then you should go tell the journal editors that this study is incomplete and didn't cover the type of memory you consider more significant, hopefully they will retract the paper
> My point was more that if you’re trying to decide which method is better for remembering something (handwriting vs. digital), the introduction of a spaced repetition system (either software like Anki or a Leitner box for handwritten notes) will outcompete either one that is used alone.
The study in question compared three groups (pen & paper note taking, smartphone and tablet) on information retrieval and note taking duration after reading a dialogue.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but that systematic spaced repetition will lead to better information retrieval is kind of obvious and has a lot of literature to support it, but how is it relevant to this study?
Oversexualised used this way refers as much to an industry/society as individual people. For example, while individual sex workers might have autonomy and we can respect their choices, we can still notice that our culture creates a situation where women are primarily given value for their physical attributes, above others, and that this applies less to men.
