Up there with leftpad as a library you probably don't need. https://qz.com/646467/how-one-programmer-broke-the-internet-...


Borland! The only good thing about Hwy 17.


Habitual GPS usage also results in you frequently arriving on time.


So I ordered a Samsung Note Ultra from Google Fi via expedited shipping signature required. When it is supposedly delivered the signature confirmation from Fedex claims it was signed for by 'C.NINETEEN'. Google then proceeds to immediately deny my claim for a refund of the ~$1000. Pretty nice scam these two are running?


This sounds like a viable strategy...it certainly seemed to work for Norman Bates in Psycho.


The original app is on bitbucket git clone git@bitbucket.org:duncanmeech/flying.git


Correct! If you play with the source on codesandbox you can disable the demo mode and actually rotate the Kollsman window using the BARO button. The calculations for pressure and resulting altitude are from standard physics texts.


Too bad, was only a thin wrapper at best though. Maybe time for a new open source SVG library.


d3 would be the obvious choice to me. I have only taken a cursory look at your code but strikes me that it could be fairly straight forward to rewrite it using d3.


d3 is just a low-level combination of HTML, CSS, JS and SVG. It's seldom obvious how anything is easy to do "using d3," unless manipulating a table of data.

Essentially, if you're a raw d3 programmer, you're a front-end web engineer.



What’s considered the goto one now days?


I wrote these a while ago with some intention of creating flight training tools. I'm making them available to all the other programmer / pilots out there who might find them useful. https://codesandbox.io/s/six-pack-flight-instruments-fl7b8


This is one of those things that "someone must have already done, it must be out there." Thank you for being that person.


Those type of awesome contributions are what drives humanity ahead :)


This is really nice - you know what it inspires me to do: make a synthesiser interface with the same tech/look and feel. Do you have a repo link where I might contribute something in that regard?

Wired up to MIDI, this could be the basis of a very nice set of synth visualisation tools ..


Originally, the code was in this repo but its a full nodejs / express app. https://bitbucket.org/duncanmeech/flying/src/master/ Just the frontend part can be found here...https://codesandbox.io/s/six-pack-flight-instruments-fl7b8


Sweet, thanks for sharing!


Nice! These would be great as web components :)


This is a fast way to kill mosquitos and an even faster way of creating toxin resistant mosquitos.
