@martinmonperrus @xinxia What does this graph say 4 SE newbs? Maybe "stop treating citation plots as leaderboards; they are attrition maps" SE is full of tourists. Simply surviving 5 years moves you from the "noise" to the "signal." The "stars" are just the people who refused to quit.

@martinmonperrus Anyone surprised? @xinxia and David Lo have most "top 10" papers. Well deserved: good on them!

Truth is shorter than fiction. The first image is what ChatGPT proposed as a command line parse. The second is mine (half the size). Apologies for any bugs but you see the pattern?

Got any other cool LISP macros ? My one fav is to make "self" the first defmethod arg then use
(set-macro-character #\$
#'(lambda (s _) `(slot-value self ',(read s t nil t))))
so self's slots can be accessed/changed using just $slot
(set-macro-character #\$
#'(lambda (s _) `(slot-value self ',(read s t nil t))))

Here's one I've dreamt of for a while: a LISP variant of "let" that handles let*, labels, multiple-value-bind. Built with perplexiity.ai. FYI it required much wrangling and testing, but the key expansion tactic seen at end of "lets" was all its idea (impressive).

@headinthebox Also, regard "[0]" (there are zero valid points in that argument), please see ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10705…

@headinthebox "Keep thing as is"? Au contraire! Reflecting on the past revels many new tricks. Students are drawn to my message of "there's another way" since they ain't getting hired by the shrinking silicon valley machine. So my "old" ideas are now fueled by fresh blood from young rebels.
