TIL what a miter join is and why it isn't always the right choice.
When you draw lines, you have a choice in how these lines connect at the joints. The video is drawn using miter joins. Notice the sharp edges and, at the center of the circle, weird graphical glitchiness when the circle is nearly full and nearly empty. This is the miter join trying to connect up the two rectangular ends of each line and creating a longer and longer joint at the angle between the two lines approaches parallel.
Been meaning to read https://bost.ocks.org/mike/algorithms/ for weeks now, finally made the time for it. My mind is blown. Took hours, and I explored or bookmarked at least half of the links in the post. If you’ve not read it, I highly recommend making time!
Does there exist a tool to "tail" signals sent between processes? You run it and it'll show you in real time signals (e.g. term, int, hup) being sent, which pid they came from, which pid they went to, etc.
Looking for recommendations for #TypeScript resources (preferably books / websites) aimed at intermediate TypeScript devs looking to get into the gritty details and advanced stuff. I've written a fair bit of TypeScript and feel comfortable in it, but I'd like to really dig in and learn the language in depth.
I’ve heard Rails is still really good in 2023. Haven’t really touched it since 2019 and even then it was mostly migrating an existing Rails 4 codebase to Rails 5.
I’m following some random Rails 7 Hotwire tutorial and the first thing I’m stumbling on is the almost complete lack of IntelliSense. I’ve tried a bunch of things and Shopfiy’s Ruby-lsp gets some of the way there, but seems to not know anything about Rails.
