Comment (by pdehaye):
A way to do good research would be to get grant money to hire professional
software engineers to actually code for sage. This is no different motive
from what is done in Sydney for MAGMA, what William tries to do with the
sagemathcloud or what Wolfram does with Mathematica: get money so we can
hire programmers, who can code infrastructure. So mathematicians can code
math more efficiently.
The difference is of course in the source of the money, and as a
mathematician one natural source is to write a grant. Mathematicians do
that everywhere in the world, with no ulterior motive but to produce
research.
There is really no direct connection between ERC grant proposals and
getting famous.
Your attitude in those recent exchanges is what makes me careful in
writing down why you are wrong before you clarify your argument first. The
way you are conducting public scientific discourse, it can only hurt me
and my ideas to engage with you scientifically before you take basic step
to clean up your act. I only wrote about the ERC grant at the 12th comment
to show to you that I considered this a serious matter, not for you to
mock me. But of course you did see that comment through your lens, and
mischaracterised what I was doing.
As it stands, the request is still there, and helping you structure
thoughts that you ought to be able to structure yourself, please decide
whether your argument is that (pick and choose):
- this function body should not be in sage;
- this function header should not be in sage;
- the decorator should not be there.
At this stage, if you do not start acting more professionally on a website
that is publicly viewable, I will do what I would do for any other
website: report abuse to the owner of the website and ask for action to be
taken. And of course close the ticket.
Should you think that I deserve insults or other niceties, please consider
using my email instead. Please also consider that your employer probably
has rules on what constitutes good scientific conduct and make sure your
email fits those guidelines.
Should you want to hear more about the background for why I think you are
wrong, I can either send you links to the documents I have referred (ask
me by email), answer your questions (by email), we can discuss it by
skype, or you could come to Zurich (I would be happy to pay for your
return ticket if you pay for the ticket to come; I am unable at the moment
to come to Paris due to circumstances)
