Bad programmers. Researchers usually (though sometimes not) are bad at programming. Hence why I don’t do projects for academia.

> You've mentioned Futurama references so many times that I'm starting to think you're actually just Zap Brannigan with a Python Foundation fellowship.

Kif, I'm feeling the "Captain's itch".


It’s just a bad ad. People don’t want to hear a multinational corporation singing about Christmas being shitty. Whatever ad company made this should be forced to work retail during the season.


I should have been an electrician.


Organizer of Python Atlanta here. This looks really nice. I’ll share it in our meetup next week. If you want to reach out and maybe give me some pointers feel free to reach out at hello@pyatl.dev


180hp was no slouch back the. Many v8s came with the same or less. Including Ford’s 5.0 (which I’m running in my Mustang).


Was there more than one? The 5.0 (Ice, Ice, Baby) that I remember in early 90's Mustangs was rated at 225.


Yeah ford had a 255, a non H.O. 302, and Gm had the 305, 307, and 350. They were all low compression and very restricted.


Good idea and execution. Adding the metadata mentioned by others in the thread would improve. Otherwise this is a legit cool project.


I’ve been doing this for more than a year now, including APIs.

Where it breaks down is in the repeatability of experience from user user. It needs to have instructions that define the expectations of user experience across many people. Which ends up being a spec in code or code as spec.

Imagine if your door were to be generated every time you used it. The doorknob, key, even hinges would be different each time.

Ultimately, it is a new way to provide functionality but doesn’t quite remove all the code.


It gets even more fun when the back pressure is in the intake side (aka boost). I was tuning a friends turbo 300zx after he upgraded to a bigger turbo. At the same boost levels as before the car was slower. He was confused. After a quick chat around turbos, air speed, etc., I simply told him we needed to crank up the boost. Some tweaks to timing and fuel maps and this thing could now really fly.


Can’t wait until I get those Lightspeed briefs adverts transmitted into my sleep.
