I'm using DDG or searx for all my casual searching, but haven't been able to find a good search engine for scholarly articles specifically. Scrolling through pages upon pages of forum posts and educational stuff for teens/kids is unfortunately too time consuming when I'm specifically looking for research papers. I'd also need to be filtering by year of publication since I need to know what's currently going on in my field, not what was going on 30 years ago.

TIA!

Resource List

Excuse the sloppy copy paste from something I was working on. Note I've not checked the urls in some time and the descriptions were mostly automated.

Literary Search Engines

• ⭐️BASE: One of the world's most voluminous search engines especially for academic web resources. You can access the full texts of about 60% of the indexed documents for free (Open Access). BASE is operated by Biel

Eggs, Salmon, Chicken Breast and Edamame are some of my favorites on the list.

I'm curious because GDScript sounds like a very high and good abstraction for the engine.

Dynamic nature

Pros & cons of dynamic typing

GDScript is a Dynamically Typed language. As such, its main advantages are that:

• The language is easy to get started with.
• Most code can be written and changed quickly and without hassle.
• Less code written means less errors & mistakes to fix.
• The code is easy to read (little clutter).
• No compilation is required to test.
• Runtime is tiny.
• It has duck-typing and polymorphism by nature.

While the main disadvantages are:

• Less performance than statically typed languages.
• More difficult to refactor (symbols can't be traced).
• **Some errors that would typically be detec

Decarbonization of the energy, transportation and industrial sectors by 2050 is a formidable challenge, and getting there will require significant use of nuclear power. But whether nuclear power figures into a country’s future energy mix or not, rigorous planning is needed to determine the clean energy composition that will work best depending on country-specific factors.

The publication, entitled ‘From Knowledge to Action: IAEA Toolkit for Sustainable Energy Planning’, was presented during a side event held on the margins of a meeting of the G20’s Energy Transitions Working Group in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

This is a work in progress, keep checking back.

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, therefore,

The field of social development has seen three major approaches to dealing with problems:

the Charity Model

the Needs-Based Approach

the Rights-Based Approach

For half a century, developing nations were arguing at the United Nations sessions for the need to recognize the right to development as a human right. With a growing globalization process and several political changes around the world, and with increasing pressure from developing nations, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Right to Development.

“The right to development is an inalienable human right by virtue of which every human person and all peoples are entitled to participate in, contribute to, and enjoy economic, social, cultural and politi

This might be a more interesting dive into Rust for those with a fair amount of existing c and/or c++.

I tried it out myself a few years ago. I had fun reliving the nightmare of implementing doubly-linked lists in C back in school! I never made it to the end of the book, though; it got wayyyy more complex around halfway than I could process at the time.
