Always publish an open preprint first, and then, if needed, submit to a journal. If the preprint is open anyway, it probably doesn't matter whether your chosen journal is open access (of any flavour) or subscription-…

Managing level of detail through head-tracked peripheral degradation: a model and resulting design principles
Previous work has demonstrated the utility of reductions in the level of detail (LOD) in the periphery of head-tracked, large field of view displays. This paper provides a psychophysically based model, centered around an eye/head movement tradeoff, that explains the effectiveness of peripheral degradation and suggests how peripherally degraded displays should be designed. An experiment evaluating the effect on search performance of the shape and area of the high detail central area (inset) in p…

"It's this brutal fragility of vector stacks — which are used by most modern computer languages — which makes software people so wary of fully exploiting the beauty and power of recursion, and I really think that's a shame"

For no particular reason...
Don't perform
Integration by parts.
When you perform,
It flies straight to the heart.
Lemon stream;
Consciousness flows down.
Stop-recline:
Inquistive, twist round.
Don't perform
Vivaldi's Gloria.
When you perform,
It flies straight to the heart:
Tear it apart.

A note on Automatic Baire property

A note on Automatic Baire property
Automatic Baire property is a variant of the usual Baire property which is fulfilled for subsets of the Cantor space accepted by finite automata. We consider the family $\mathcal{A}$ of subsets of the Cantor space having the Automatic Baire property. In particular we show that not all finite subsets have the Automatic Baire property, and that already a slight increase of the computational power of the accepting device may lead beyond the class $\mathcal{A}$.
