LoL, 40 years too late. The irony is that if the anti-nuclear environmentalist movement hadn't had as much strength in the 80's, we would be electric carbon neutral and just have transportation to go.
jbunc | 4 years ago | on: Film simulations from scratch using Python
It's hard for me to see this as doing a good job of simulating film when it doesn't mention grains. Film has a granular structure where each "pixel" is a grain (crystal). Film is essentially already digital, but with a higher count of less regular pixels.

Looks like a useful method.

For the auto industry, they decided to treat chip suppliers like they do everyone else. Chip suppliers don't depend on auto, so they responded tic for tac.

Oral tradition put into text, so not entirely the same as grouping the writers. More like who transcribed what. Maybe the difference was who heard the story in a given pattern.

One's better than none. Can you learn any additional lessons from the "no"s than that they went for more established solutions? Did you approach the yes differently? Is there a way that you can overcome "not being established" such as offering to be more responsive?
From one to ten is not just about numbers in your sales funnel. The main thing is learning from every no.

How many of you upgrade day of release? Wait a little bit to see how others feel about it? or only stick to LTS?
jbunc | 5 years ago | on: Green vs. Brown Programming Languages
Amusing that Scala and Haskell are on both the loved and hated lists.
Python and Javascript running counter to the author's premiss is not that odd to me. Both of these language do a good job of adapting to new approaches and technology. I am not a fan of untyped Python and Javascript, but Python with type linting and Typescript are great. Maintaining code without these features is a pain, while the newer code in the same project with these features is more interesting.
