Degrees of Longitude (Lon) have to be calculated based on positioning on Earth. https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/but-i-dont-wanna-part-2/ Thu, 13 Jul 2017 15:44:11 -0500 https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/but-i-dont-wanna-part-2/ Part Two: wtf is => all about?’ Let me introduce you to the arrow operator. You’ve probably seen this little guy hanging around code you’ve seen online and thought to yourself: I can assure you, without a doubt, that the arrow operator is not your nemesis. In fact, I’m willing to bet she’s about to become your best friend. => is, in my opinion, the single most important addition to javascript in ES6. https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/but-i-dont-wanna-part-1/ Tue, 11 Jul 2017 13:55:11 -0500 https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/but-i-dont-wanna-part-1/ Part One: Getting Started First Things First: Everything’s Gonna Be Just Fine Hey, remember when ES6 first started coming on the scene and you were like: It started gaining traction, new libraries were being written in it, yet still you were like: Then friends, family, co-workers, and YouTube subscribers all started using it, and yet… It’s ok, little bird. I’m gonna tell you a secret: The most commonly used ES6 features are little more than shorthand syntax for the language you already know and love. https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/posts/wave-function-collapse-research/ Mon, 22 May 2017 05:01:48 -0500 https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/posts/wave-function-collapse-research/ https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/mode-seven/ Mon, 08 May 2017 02:50:32 -0500 https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/mode-seven/ If you don’t know what Mode-7 is, then allow me a moment to enlighten you (well, allow me to copy the summary from Wikipedia). Mode 7 is a graphics mode on the Super NES video game console that allows a background layer to be rotated and scaled on a scanline-by-scanline basis to create many different effects. The most famous of these effects is the application of a perspective effect on a background layer by scaling and rotating the background layer in this manner. https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/the-unbearable-lightness-of-using-const/ Tue, 02 May 2017 02:43:06 -0500 https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/the-unbearable-lightness-of-using-const/ It has recently come to my attention that there is some confusion in the javascript community as to the usage of const. If you’ll allow me a few minutes and artistic license to butcher the -actual- underpinnings of memory management and registration in the V8 engine, I’ll attempt to explain how const operates at the lowest-level possible. But know now, If you’re looking for a simple answer regarding when to use const, well, buddy, this isn’t the article for you. https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/hello-world/ Tue, 25 Apr 2017 23:48:11 -0500 https://ada-lovecraft.github.io/post/hello-world/ I’m back!
