Your logic assumes that young founders/developers are very proficient in many languages (including lisp) and they have perfect information for choosing. In reality, they use whatever crap they picked up hacking in high school. On top o

If by facts you mean "the picture that Musk's PR machine wants you to believe as facts" then yes. Unless you spend lots of time with him personally so you state that first-hand. Somehow, I don't believe in superhumans. E

You are writing this comment in the lisp-based software. Yeah, I know, Hacker news is a simple software and could have been written in anything else, but, somehow, the author, who I've heard is very smart, thought that Lisp is the best

I am pretty sure that the vast majority of cited papers have not been read by the people who cite them.

by dragandj 10y ago
Why do we publish papers? Well, I guess for the vast majority of authors, THE reason is that the number of published papers is one of the key metrics at your job. From the lowest levels of PhD students to the PIs, the one things that you ne
