How The Chronicle is trying to malign Sci-Hub

We're kind of lucky for having so many precise SDK-, Framework- and Language documentations freely available.

Just imagine how painful it would be if you'd need some kind of subscription from some centralized companies only to find out which methods a class has and what exactly they do.

Does it feel like this to not have access to papers in the scientific community? I can't tell, because I don't read papers. All I need to know is available either freely on the web or in books.

I mean, just look at the level of detail in this PDF: https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/...

Yes, it's very frustrating read a paper and see a citation to something that would be useful only to see that your library doesn't subscribe to it. At least if it's a book you can get it by inter-library loan, so that's a little better than journal articles.
