Any digital elevation map fans in the house? The Kyoto area according to ASTER v2 and the SRTM v3, both ~1 arcsecond (30 meters per pixel). In the former you can much more clearly see the Kamo River, flowing alongside 下鴨神社 and 上賀茂神社 near the top.

Texture shading forthcoming.

I’m often a bit sad that I don’t get to see visual flair like this in my day-to-day these days.

Thanks to the Julia language’s honesty, I am seriously wondering if I should use a JVM language or Go instead of Julia 😂😇.

Excerpts from upcoming book "Pandora's Lab" in this month's National Geographic Magazine. Science marches on but at any given time it can be either wrong or wrongly used. The best meta-protection is actually diversity, I think. I am meta-happy we had people who dropped butter for margerine & people who poohpoohed the federal advice and stuck to butter. Sometimes though the damage is universal (DDT).
