Also it's not only not sustainable to ignore reviews, it's rude and damages the reputation of the authors -- On the other hand, when reviewers ignore summary of changes that may have been submitted and don't explain why they may be asking for even more or different things, this is also not helpful.

Thanks for writing this.
What I would add to the post is that changes don't always strengthen the fundamental contributions but how they are communicated. It's an important learning experience to think about how to better frame one's work.

I have had a TVCG paper rejected for off topic, too 😊.

Scenario two was highly preferred with scenario one coming second. Issues of hubs we discussed were intellectual silos, forcing people to attend their closest hub (because the whole point is to save CO2), measures to take to ensure better networking options for ecrs.

Petra Isenberg @drpi.bsky.social · Apr 15

Yes you guessed it :-). Intellectual silos were an interesting dystopia we discussed in this regard (but we had some ideas to combat this issue as well)

Today we are at para.chi Paris where we see (mostly local) papers to be presented at ACM CHI in Japan. It's really nice to connect locally before the big conference (especially because I'm not going).

It would be a fun experiment to assign them the PCS test submission and see what happens

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

A former student sent me this post about the winners of the Anna’s Archive ISBN visualization bounty, a challenge to visualize "which books exist in the world, how many have we archived already, and which books should we focus on next?" Just go experience the winners—it’s truly incredible stuff

Winners of the ISBN visualization bounty

We got some incredible submissions to the $10,000 ISBN visualization bounty.

If you are into BioVis consider attending VIZBI. I have been there before and it is a very nice community:

Excellent observation of CDU politics in @zeit.de

“The secret basic law of CDU politics: the reasonableness of political ideas and concepts is not derived from what they contain, but from who represents them. Only when we represent them and by representing them do they become reasonable.“

Das ist das heimliche Grundgesetz christdemokratischer Politik: Die Vernunft politischer Ideen und Konzepte ergibt sich nicht etwa aus dem, was sie beinhalten, sondern daraus, wer sie vertritt. Erst wenn wir sie vertreten und dadurch, dass wir sie vertreten, werden sie automatisch vernünftig. Das ist so dermaßen dreist, dass es seine Rechtfertigung nur in einem findet: Es funktioniert.

CDU pur ist also so ungefähr das genaue Gegenteil von dem, was Carsten Linnemann in Interviews herbeidekliniert. Es ist keine kompromisslose Politik, sondern der Kompromiss ist schon die Politik. CDU pur bedeutete die letzten 70 Jahre nicht, die "Zeitgeisttendenzen" zu ignorieren, wie Linnemann es fordert, sondern sie genau zu studieren, um im entscheidenden Moment handlungsfähig zu sein. Man könnte auch sagen: Das C in CDU steht für Chuzpe.

A trip down memory lane at the Dagstuhl library. I learned Java programming with the transparencies that eventually turned into this book.
