Out of topic, but I was following this thread out of mild interest (not at all my expertise and I don't understand the subject) and I just realised yours is the same account that posted a helpful comment on that Prolog thread two days ago.

I'm curious about your background: you seem to know both physics and Prolog? How come?

Btw, thanks for your comments in the Prolog thread. Much more level-headed reaction than mine, I have to say with embarrassment.




A BS in physics from a decade ago and BS in geology (mostly geophysics) a few years ago.

Just sorta started noodling around with prolog a while back on a whim. Fits my brain well enough and it's kinda fun. Still never really used it in anger but I've been hanging around tech/programming circles for so long i can speak (somewhat) intelligently about languages well before I can do anything with them.


Wow, two BSs? You got patience!

I hope you stick with Prolog. It's a unique thing. If only more people understood it, and used it, in their everyday work.


Another out of topic - I keep seeing your comments and in a comment about two years ago you said your profile had a link to your research. I looked at your profile to find out a bit about the things you are working on, but since then you've edited your profile. Any chance you could add a link/links again for a day or two?

Thanks!



Thank you for pointing that out. I have different nicks most places I frequent and I forget that others are far more consistent.


Oh, sorry, missed that! Thanks to Avshalom for posting the link to Louise.

You'll find the two journal papers in my old profile at the very end of Louise's Readme :)
