James Simons’s Foundation Starts New Institute for Computing, Big Data
Mr. Simons, a mathematician turned wealthy hedge fund manager and now philanthropist, and his wife, Marilyn, the foundation president, hope the new institute will fill an overlooked niche.
Computers have been a fixture for decades in astrophysics and many other fields of science. But typically, the computer programs are written by graduate students, often abandoned after they finish their programs. “Those people aren’t great coders, for the most part,” Mr. Simons said.
At the Flatiron Institute, a good fraction of the staff will be professional computer programmers, producing software not only for the in-house scientists but also available for anyone else who needs it.

Na! He's rubbish, I was at school with him, kept farting during art lessons and let Mr. Grain the metalwork teachers hot air balloon get away during sports day.
