Thanks for the comment and link! I have been thinking about this the wrong way around for a long time.

If you fancy giving Lisp a try, look into Portacle [0]. I've not used this exactly but I did install all the components myself over time and they play together nicely. [0]: https://portacle.github.io/

I enjoy machine learning and I'm interested in learning Javascript, so this seems really interesting. That said, what would be a good way to build some Javascript experience that would be useful for something like this?

Mr Steele is, on the surface at least, running Nautilus from his heart. For that, I am grateful, although I'm sure his freelancers see it quite differently. I've read a lot of excellent content there over the years. I hope that th

I completely agree. I wasn't commenting on the thrust of the article, which I agree with, but rather the distorting figures that were used to promote it.

Every time an article like this hits HN, one of the standard responses is how trivial this would be to check doing network analysis. I'm curious if anyone has ever actually gone and done the so-called trivial network analysis to check

The origin of the term has been embedded in my memory (right next to Ben Stein's description of Voodoo Economics) since I first heard it in the 1987 Dudley Moore/Kirk Cameron father-son switcheroo classic Like Father Like Son.
