Alright, Innovator! I see you’ve been using Microsoft 365 Planner, and it’s like you’ve started building your productivity mansion. As someone who’s been through the process, I’d love to help you add more floors and rooms to it.
So, let’s pick up our productivity blueprints and continue building with these three awesome strategies.
Recently, I was joking with some team members, trying my best to get someone to develop a VS Code plugin for me that would allow VS Code to simultaneously connect to multiple Android emulators.
I was working on some font sizing issues in Flutter and needed to test the changes on multiple device viewport sizes. Needless to say, it was taking too much time to ramp various Android emulators up and down.
Later that day, I decided to start playing with the debugger and emulator options, with no expectations of finding anything substantial. Sometimes throwing something against the wall to see if it sticks provides the best surprises!
This blog is a brief overview of CesiumJS, a cool JavaScript client library for visualizing a geospatial Earth map, including artifacts (both real and generated).ย They eat their own dog food, so their homepage has a declaratively-rendered spinning globe by Cesium.
CesiumJS has a higher-level Entity API as well as a lower-level Primitive API. The API doc can be found here. I’ll point out a couple of interactive source examples that use the entity API; most Cesium apps use it. Cesium also provides open specification 3D Tiles to load, render, and cache on-demand terrain features, artifacts, and building renditions for surface viewing.
There is no IDE or download needed to interact with the material mentioned in this overview. You can interact with the material mentioned with your browser.
A recent project got me thinking about the old trope that, upon getting involved in an existing project, the first thing any developer wants to do is rewrite it.
Obviously, thatโs not always true, and in fact, Iโve rarely been tempted. But the following situation made the thought cross my mind, and it also led me to realize the reasons I didnโt bite.
Letโs talk about it, but first, Iโll talk more generally about rewriting codes, the potential benefits, and the reasons itโs typically best not to.
Whatโs the best side project youโve ever completed? For Keyhole Consultant Jake Everhart, so far, itโs writing his own interpretive programming language. He calls it Donut. Hereโs more about why he made it, how he made it, and why itโs been so fun.
