This is true, and I don't mean to trivialize the work of today's programmer.

However, I suppose somewhat subjectively in reviewing or writing any of this glue or logic layer code using modern web frameworks I've never had the sort of WOW response that I do when I see what the programmers of yore were coming up with.

If by "understand" you mean glue together all of the high-level abstractions of each of those domains, each of which have mountains of tutorials / blog posts / StackOveflow answers, then sure.

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

It wasn't the one I saw previously, but it's a good starting point.

Ask HN: Uncertainty / Monte Carlo Analysis Tools?

from the ask-hn dept.

I recall once seeing here a web-based tool that allowed for some really simple uncertainty modeling. It was visual and node based: you could drag parameters around as inputs to functions. Each parameter could have a distribution type set to it (i.e. uniform, normal, etc) and the simulation would evaluate the function by sampling the parameters per their distribution type. You could then chain...

The fact that you keep referring to moment of inertia as "angular momentums" make me doubt that your story is true.
