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). 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.
In this blog, I’ll be introducing Vite, a JavaScript build tool that strives to be a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects.
I found Vite while browsing a Reddit thread and saw several users that were very happy with the technology, so I decided to give it a try myself. I’ve found Vite to be extremely fast, which lends well to making little tweaks and adjustments to the code (even in large applications) and seeing those changes very quickly. But be forewarned, Vite is relatively new and can be temperamental.
