Good update, Peter. Happy anniversary.
Of particular interest to me was this item:
Research presented at ICER2016 showed lower overall cognitive
load for LiveCode developers
http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2960310.2960321
Unfortunately that article is behind the ACM's paywall.
Anyone here know if that article is also available through a
publicly-accessible source?
It was available a couple of weeks ago.
Now, online copyright infringement is a terrible thing, and so I very
strongly recommend that you do not visit https://moscow.sci-hub.ac/, and
don't type "Flipping the Assessment of Cognitive Load: Why and How" into
its search box, and _definitely_ don't click the button with a picture
of a key next to it.
After all, anyone would agree that the amount that academic publishers
charge for access to the articles they publish is totally reasonable,
considering that the great costs of getting researchers to write papers
(for free) and getting other researchers to review them (also for free).
So I strongly recommend that you go ahead and pay the very modest $15
that the ACM are asking for. How else than by charging for each and
every download of every publication can they further their stated
purpose of "... serving both professional and public interests by
fostering the open interchange of information..."?
