it was supposed to be a joke about historians not understanding the past but as i now know there was some truth to it: digital camera colors were still quite bad in 2012, and color post processing helped hiding the lack of fidelity.
back then i apparently only made posts when i thought they were supergood¹, different to the utter crap chute i'm running today, so these are in direct succession.
the second one takes a moment, but you'll find it is an excellent improvement upon poppers' paradox.
¹ an incorrect assumption, see further down.
a thing that we often did back then was to take sayings and spin them a little, with varying success.
Tom Forsyth@lritter Triangle meshes are the worst surface representation, except for for all the others that have been tried.
Joacim Jacobsson@jjacobsson @TomF cones are indeed a great edge case.
tetrahedral meshes are in some ways easier (no spatial gaps, no self-collision, easy lowering to mesh) and harder (steiner points, vertex neighbors have no canonical order).
the post is also about how an established expert in his field is still struggling with it, which goes against expectation. i find it oddly comforting.
