So will Nature be comfortable with having scientists cross publishing on GitHub in the name of "Open Science"?

I think you're proving the point OP was making. In the past you found people by proximity, as, not so long ago, there was no online.

Bloke, surely?

I was heavily into reinforcement learning around the turn of the century, and at the time, "Reinforcement Learning - An introduction" (Barto and Sutton) https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/reinforcement-learning was an absolute goldmine for me getting started. I think parts of it are online somewhere including all their pseudocode and solutions.

I highly recommend the documentary "From Bedrooms to Billions: The Amiga Years" http://www.frombedroomstobillions.com/amiga
The significance of the architecture and Jay Miners brilliance in system design cannot be underestimated.

I don't understand the downvoting going on here. Even if you don't agree with the comment, it's still a valid point.

Clojure has clojars: https://clojars.org/

Not sure about the inspiring talks or whatnot, but I've been writing clojure/clojurescript (reagent, re-frame et al.) professionally for a couple of years and there's nothing I can't find that I need in a project. With simple js interoperability, native use of js/react components in reagent and ease of wrapping any vanilla js library, there really is nothing you can't do with clojurescript. You should take a closer look!

If you mean something like contribution guidelines, then they're everywhere. Here's one of mine as an example: https://github.com/benhowell/react-grid-gallery/blob/master/...

That would be Ed Stafford https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Stafford . He has many TV series where he survives starting with nothing (other than camera gear) and some other shows. Probably the most entertaining, down-to-earth and genuine survivalists on tv.

> That aside, you have to work a little bit harder to discern religious practices that are rooted in activities that are observably and directly beneficial to individuals and society (meditation, compassion)
Leaving meditation out of this, I think the religious practices you're implying were basic human moral practices adopted _by_ religion, not the other way around.

> I think many of us have deployed this graph in our own lives. I watch movies this way - watch more movies made by a director I like. Then watch movies by the people this director likes. Its a wonderful exploration.
I use https://www.metal-archives.com in this manner. The number of dimensions on which you can find connections and similarities makes finding new music a joy. A version of IMDB based upon the ideas in MA is what you seek.
