- Comment on When a researcher and publisher withholds information then ignores requests -- what’s the recourse? How can science have integrity? 5 months ago:
They could try to say that but I doubt people would believe it.
Who throws away their own code particularly when it’s not junky commercial code but code their heart and soul was behind on a non-profit project? I keep my old code around if anything just to be able to search it to re-teach myself coding and design tips I forgot about. This code backs their research which they may need to refer to when a prospective employer asks for detail on how they executed the study.

Maybe the acknowledgments gives a hint?

Oh, wow… I wasn’t expecting that reply. I was actually looking to discuss in general how to address this variety of issue. It was a few years ago but I suppose the code could still be interesting. I dug this up:
dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2911988
And now that I dug back into this, I must make a correction. ACM replied to say they are looking for the missing material… then they never found it and they dropped the ball at that point and also neglected correct the description. AFAIK, ACM did not try to reach the researchers, who ignored my inquiries.

- Comment on Laptop is depolymerizing -- how can I remedy this? 5 months ago:
Glad to hear that. So got me thinking about the wood glue dissolving on the bottle (polyvinylacetate). PVA is also used as a heel on some cheeses (gouda, I think). Maybe goo gone could be used to take the heel off cheese.

WD-40 sounds like an interesting idea. Most people think of it as an oil, but in fact WD-40 is a cocktail of like 12 or so different solvents, plus mineral oil, IIUC. It’s indeed more of a cleaning product than a lube.

Whenever I see that stuff on the shelf I think “I have acetone… why would I buy that? Probably just acetone with a different label”. But I’m probably wrong… if that were acetone it would not be “surface safe” and they’d get sued for damages. So indeed, probably worth a try.

That’s surprising. Acetone dissolves a lot of plastics even when they are in a new state. I might try it in a small area but I’m skeptical. I would expect it to worsen the situation.

actually after using alcohol and letting it dry it’s not really coming off on my hands. Just still a little sticky. But temp could be a factor. I wonder if on a hot summer day it will be more likely to mark things that touch it. If that happens, my temptation is to cut out a piece of sheet metal and try using a 2-component epoxy.
