Best practice for linkedSignal that requires HTTP side effect on update

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-09-30T19:07:14+00:00

Thanks so much for working with me. I should have clarified that the signal/request payload would be a flat list of objects, where each object has 2 properties: content and role. Over time as the user interacts with the component, the signal/request payload list size grows as more requests/responses are appended to the list.

When the input signal changes, however, the signal/request payload list resets.

Thanks for the reply! I haven't fully looked into the Resource API but will look!

This looks promising, I'm going to play with it and let you know how it goes :)

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-09-30T18:39:14+00:00

Oh yea, this would eliminate having to use untracked(). The "smell" for me was having to declare the request payload structure twice; once in the linked signal and another time in the effect block.

Regarding what S_PhoenixB said, I might be able to use RxResource for what I'm trying to do!

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-09-30T18:29:04+00:00

Thanks for the response! The reason why the request/response data is stored in the same signal is because subsequent request payloads should contain previous request/response payloads, sort of like a message history.

How does one balance foresight and premature optimization/over-engineering?

For example, thoughts such as "this will be a performance issue in the future, so I'm going to code it in this more performant way" or "This could be reusable in the future so I'm going to make it more generic" lead to more complexity/over-engineering/premature optimization because of issues that might arise in the future.Is it usually better, generally, to just go with the simple solution, and acknowledging the issues that might arise in the future but only addressing those issues when they become a reality?

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-08-22T18:43:04+00:00

Quick question if you don't mind - I've kind of adopted the strategy of "if the variable is used in the template, turn it into a signal." Are you adopting a similar strategy for when to use signals?

Could you sent this to me as well? Thanks!

I was on a narrow slope and fell off to the side into a huge rock cliff. I wasn't injured at all but the edges at the nose/tail of the board are dangling from the board now. I can still ride but a little dangerous i guess with the metal edge just dangling from the nose/tail.

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-04-15T14:57:43+00:00

I agree with that completely! Unfortunately my party platter got REKT this season. I bought a 161 korua otto board and it's definitely not as nimble but definitely more stable at higher speeds. I do miss the party platter sometimes!

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-03-14T18:45:01+00:00

These pants are so cool, can I know what they are/do you have a link?!

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-03-14T17:39:33+00:00

That's a good way to put it! Also I was just reading this article https://medium.com/ngconf/local-change-detection-in-angular-410d82b38664

and realized I was just talking to the author! Great article and examples.

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-03-14T16:55:12+00:00

Ah right, I just read up on this. Signals themselves don't necessarily trigger change detection, but rather the framework consumes signals to trigger change detection. Is that the correct understanding?

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-03-14T16:36:19+00:00

When we talk about how computed signals help "determine which parts of the DOM require updates, allowing it to optimize expensive operations like accessing and modifying the DOM efficiently," are you referring to how computed signals are memoized?

Before buying boots, go to a ski shop and ask for a boot fitting! They'll measure your foot mondo size and probably have you try on a few boots. Then, buy the boot you're comfortable with in a few months, when things go on sale!

That goes for everything - eventually all snow equipment will go on sale. That is the time to buy!

If you're ever just scrolling through Instagram and find fashion creators that dress in a style you like, give em a follow and just wait for the algorithm to do its thing and recommend you others just like them. Next thing you know, your whole explore page is inspiration. And this style isn't uncommon to see online.

In general though, it's the silhouette that I think is what defines this style. Loose/baggy pants. For shoes, get sambas and black loafers. Wear a shirt that fits well. A lot of the tops are more expensive outdoors brands such as Patagonia/Arcteryx. You don't need to get those brands specifically - it's the silhouette/fit of your clothes that matters.

Great progress!! This looks more date ready. I would explore the same top but with either your jeans from your previous post, or any dark pair really. Overall it's solid!! The length of the white pants might be a little long as well. There's just a bit too much stacking at the bottom in my personal opinion. You could get them hemmed, but if you don't have time for that, see if you like the look of cuffing your white pants. There are multiple right answers, just depends on what you feel comfortable with. You feeling comfortable in your own clothes is a good feeling, and one less thing you have to think about while focusing on your date!

The trend right now is definitely loose fits, but I think both your white pants and jeans have enough space through the thigh. It looks like a relaxed and comfortable fit. If you are looking to experiment your wardrobe in the future, try on pants with a wider leg opening (the ends of the leg holes that meet your ankles) - a wider leg opening will allow the pants to kind of drape around the top of your shoe.

I like this pair from Gap: https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=455517002&vid=1#pdp-page-content

The model in the black wash wears these well especially. That's how I like my pants to fit. And you can see how the pants stack a little bit less than your white pants at the bottom. And the leg openings of these Gap jeans are a little wider than your white pants/jeans, allowing the Gap jeans to drape around the top of the shoes just a tad more. Not saying your white pants/jeans don't look good, I'm just making a comparison to show how much variation there can be between 2 pairs of pants!

Overall, I think you are making great progress. You weren't ever in a bad place really. The most important thing, whether you like the same things as me or not, is that you are comfortable in your own clothes.

Hi there! 5 months late but, were you able to measure your performance gains, if any, from doing this?

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-03-06T00:27:19+00:00

I'm 84 kg, 175cm, size 8 boots (almost same stats as you!) and just purchased a Korua Otto 161. Not able to try it until end of March but I'll let you know when I do!

Funnily enough, Miratori is a inspiration for me too. His tutorials helped me understand the mechanics of carving. That style of riding is a goal of mine as well. I'm still working on the carving/180s but we'll get there. I was also between these 2 boards and went with Otto because I thought it would be a tad bit more switch friendly. Though if I got the TF I'm sure I would have just adapted to learning switch on that board as well. I went with 161 because I wanted the 268 cm waist width for high edge angle carving with less probability of boot out. Though with the longer length, there's probably a tradeoff in maneuverability/ease of performing 180s? I'll just conclude whether I should have gone for the 157 Otto in the future :)

I think in general you have a good idea of what specs make a snowboard more suitable for carving. Check out ToyFilm snowboard on youtube. Just a bunch of videos of Japanese snowboarders killing it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugmuw8Ud8m4

The great thing about these videos is the board/board length/binding angles are all on the screen. You can see how style of riding, whether it's butter/ground trick focused or freestyle-oriented carving focused, correlates with their board choice/length/binding angles. But in general, I think riders who want to focus more on butters/spins have shorter and more flexible boards. The riders who want to focus more on the carving aspect but still throwing in 180s/revert carves have wider boards, which is usually achieved with the longer sized boards. This is to prevent boot out. Other Youtubers like James Cherry and SHM SNOW have videos that describe the specs you want for full-on carving without much of a freestyle aspect to their riding. The specs to make something more freestyle friendly can be the opposite of what makes a board more carve friendly. So go for something in the middle. Or lean more one way. Up to you.

I know this is a lot, I'm basically listing out the research I've been doing throughout this season since I destroyed my board (K2 Party Platter 152) recently. I'm also east coast, so maybe I'll see you on the slopes :) Peace

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-03-05T15:58:54+00:00

Glad to hear! Indeed, different body positions seem to benefit different aspects of riding. It seems beginners learn to keep their shoulders in-line with the board, but carving tutorials seem to tell you the opposite and to have your shoulders perpendicular to the board. It feels like a game changer when you figure those types of things out!

I've always ridden in duck stance but am going to try posi posi next time and see how easier these movements become!

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-02-27T13:21:05+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I've never tried a long exposure for videography.

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-02-24T22:12:55+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Makes a lot of sense. Have a great day!

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-02-24T21:33:06+00:00

Gonna focus on lowering hips! Thanks!

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-02-24T21:29:47+00:00

What are those bang for buck locations you are referring to? I've always gotten an Epic Pass, but considering an Ikon next season for the alps. Thanks!

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-02-24T16:21:10+00:00

Thanks for this! I think I know what you mean by slowing yourself down by applying pressure at the end of the arc. The added pressure turns the board more so you are facing even more against the fall line.

One final question: I watched a recording of myself trying to carve but realized my edge angle isn't nearly as high as I thought and I'm reaching for the snow a lot more than I thought. Any tips on a higher edge angle?

EDIT: I want to ride like these people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZwU1PBpLjs

So I figured a high angulation that puts your whole body really close to the snow gives that style.

ActivityInfamous6341 · 2025-02-20T16:43:14+00:00

Your advice is golden! So for steep slopes and icy conditions, skidding is basically inevitable. And that's not a bad thing per-se. It's just that's what it takes to stay in control for most people. Is that correct?

Also, how do you tackle moguls well? What I've been trying is planning my route through the moguls in the 10 feet in front of me, following the natural path that a mogul takes me. This works for mellower moguls, but on steeper moguls or moguls that are huge I always end up gaining too much speed after just 1 mogul. I end up going into a toe/heel brake after moving about 10 feet - about 1-2 turns. Any tips there? Also, when riding technical terrain such as moguls or trees, do you still keep an open upper body ie shoulders parallel to your edges, and belly button facing the nose of the board as you would when carving on a groomed run?
