boyadjian··on Why New York City Stopped Building Subways (2018)
City growth cannot be endless. Everything has an end. It is the same thing for Paris. With the "Grand Paris", we try to build new subways, but it is tremendously expensive.
boyadjian··on Solving the Wrong Problem (2011)
Solving the wrong problem is a very common thing in software development. That is why I always take time to think (sometimes during three days) before starting a development.

Yes, of course. Every Ponzi scheme has an end. It is just a question of time.

boyadjian··on The Essential Tool for Hong Kong Protesters? An Umbrella
All those people who protest ... They protest against what ? In France, we have the "Gilets Jaunes", who also protest, there is also the young people who protest against climate change. They protest, and they go nowhere ...

boyadjian··on Our Food Is Killing Too Many of Us
Yes, sugary drinks are much worse, but also prepared industrial dishes that you can find in supermarkets.
boyadjian··on Our Food Is Killing Too Many of Us
It is sad that the photo illustrating this article shows cheeseburgers. Cheeseburgers haven't killed anybody. Cheeseburgers are not junk-food. Stop making amalgams.
boyadjian··on Why Are So Many Developers Hating on Object-Oriented Programming?
Totally agree on that. Premature generalization is the root of all evil. It breaks the YAGNI principle. Over-engineering is often seen in java programming, because creating a new class is so easy, that people often create huge amount of ridiculously small classes.
boyadjian··on Turbo, an Improved Rainbow Colormap for Visualization
I used to program the same type of colormap. It is a question of correct gamma correction.
boyadjian··on The water is so hot in Alaska it's killing large numbers of salmon
We should have listened to the Club of Rome in 1972, "The Limits to Growth". Now, it is too late.
boyadjian··on Moore’s Law is not Dead
18 month or 24 month, this is not very important. I was essentially talking about the fact that the cost per transistor was steadily going down, which is almost finished now.
boyadjian··on Moore’s Law is not Dead
It depends what you call Moore's Law. For me, Moore's Law was essentially that the cost per transistor was divided by two every 18 month. Nowadays, it's not true anymore. But of course, it doesn't mean that progress has stopped.

I love Blender, but knowing how to use it is a real profession. So many functionalities ... Even reading a book on Blender is not enough.
boyadjian··on How close are we to 3D printing the human heart?
We are very far from 3D printing the human heart, in fact, it will never happen. A human heart can only be grown.
boyadjian··on 20th anniversary of José Bové’s 'attack' on a McDonald's in rural France
In France, Mac Donald is an integral part of the French landscape, just like KFC or Burger King. Attacking this chain for primary anti-Americanism makes no sense.
boyadjian··on The Suicides in South Korea, and the Suicide of South Korea
Low birth rate is a sign of intelligence, it has nothing to do with suicides.
boyadjian··on Uber Posts $5.2B Loss and Slowest Ever Growth Rate
Uber will go into bankruptcy, and it will be the starting point of the next worldwide economic crisis.
boyadjian··on Old Paris Is No More
The list is too long. But for example, Rueil-Malmaison is a good suburb.
boyadjian··on Old Paris Is No More
Of course, old Paris is no more ! I live near Paris, and I go in this town only when I am forced to. Residential intensification, insecurity (pickpockets in the metro), migrants, Paris nowadays has nothing to do with the romantic vision of American people. Real Parisians now live in the suburb, there is some very nice towns in the suburbs. (Others not so nice, it depends where you go).
boyadjian··on Why the French love to say no
I'm french, and I have a mother that always told me "non" when I was asking something. It traumatized me, now I have difficulties to ask something, because I always think the response will be negative. So, when my daughter ask me something, I mostly respond "oui", to give her self confidence.
