<civodul>are we publishing Arun's post today? <zimoun>civodul: pushed half hour ago, I guess. :-) <zimoun>I have not read all yet. However, I find really weird that almost all people around this topic speak about “Open”. But Open is not the key for reproducing. The key is twofold: lookup and capture all the computational stack. Otherwise, as much as Open it is, it is doomed. I have plenty of Open examples impossible to reproduce. <civodul>zimoun: this report looks somewhat empty, no? <civodul>the recommendations look rather vague and consensual to me <civodul>(consensual is not a bad thing, but i mean there's nothing new here) <zimoun>Empty, I do not know. Some sentence are weird: «As reproducibility is a relatively new topic» What?!? It is as old as Galileo :-) <zimoun>civodul: my point is just that in “Open data” section, it is consensual, sure, but in the same time, it provides a message as if “Open“, share, etc, will fix the issue. It is just wrong and a clear misunderstanding of the issue. IMHO. <zimoun>and it is an European Union publication. Potentially driving funds. <civodul>zimoun: yes, so it's a bit of a concern that it seems to not quite show the current state of reflections <civodul>that they shamelessly reuse those (nice) visuals from others also doesn't make it sound serious <civodul>these are great illustrations, but it contributes to the impressions that the authors didn't look very deeply in those matters <civodul>though to be fair there are also many references <zimoun>hehe! Yeah!! Somehow, it is a good Friday troll. :-) <zimoun>rekado_: about the recent ccwl post, I am thinking if it is possible to somehow type the inputs/ouputs for GWL? Instead of basically an unique string type. <zimoun>I dropped an email to Timothy 3 days ago for a Guix blog post about this topic. :-) <zimoun>civodul: «On the one hand, advocating the adoption of SWHID by packaging tools, that will take quite some time» Ahah! <civodul>i'll end up writing that blog post at some point <zimoun>So disappointed… I was so excited to visit Académie de Sciences.
