To be fair, people have been studying and predicting celestial movements for millennia, and boiled it down to unbelievably precise mechanical formulae. JS is poorly understood in comparison. I say this to hope you feel better at work. I've been pressed into frontend web work and it's fractal complexity.

Yes, but you're wading into the JavaScript weeds for what? More CRUD forms? Meanwhile... "With a combination of large ground-based FORTRAN programs and small spacecraft-based assembly language programs, [Real Programmers] are able to do incredible feats of navigation and improvisation -- hitting ten-kilometer wide windows at Saturn after six years in space, repairing or bypassing damaged sensor platforms, radios, and…

Those are impressive sounding achievements. I haven't heard of all of those, can you provide references or details about the stories?

Would love to see these without the frame interpolation (which totally chokes on all the particulate matter).

Here I made one for you, using just the original frames: Video: http://alteredqualia.com/tmp/rosetta/rosetta.original.mp4 [15MB] Mirror: https://streamable.com/l9x1o ---- Extra: I also attempted to denoise somehow (with Gimp's despeckle filter), though it's kinda weird :) https://streamable.com/hy6lm

JS is poorly understood in comparison This might be the most hilariously ridiculous true statement I've ever heard.

In javascript: x == x _ is true. Good. x == !x _ is also true. Oops? And guess what: Array(3)==",," _ is also true. But NaN == NaN _ is false. Math.max()>Math.min() _ is also false! but then again Math.max() Madness, I tell you!
