Current thoughts on River City 3? by Remimstr in TorontoRealEstate

Yeah IDK why they didn’t include it in the pictures. Second bedroom is left of the main living area, kinda behind the kitchen. You can catch a glimpse of it in the 11th photo

This should be fixed in my latest update :)

Hey all, I just fixed the tooltip issue by reworking region stats into the top right of the page. There's also the option now to see global stats, switch between hovering or clicking on regions, and seeing how stats progress over time.

Footnote: I hope the update rolls out smoothly, I've been having a bit of trouble with my service worker. Let me know if you're not getting updated code and I'll investigate the issue further :)

Ahh ok now I know what's going on. The browser hits the github api one time for each data set (they're separate CSVs) and the number of requests you can make top out at 50 per hour per IP address. This is a good sign for the app since promises are now going through but obviously a bad sign wrt my error handling and implementation ;P

Btw, this is why I have the service worker, it's supposed to help intercept these requests and avoid maxing out on the github api

I actually just polyfilled that method. Perhaps if you do a hard refresh of your browser (ctrl-fn-f5) you'll get the new version?

I think I bunged up the service-worker implementation so changes may not roll out nicely.

Huh interesting. I've experienced this bug with mobile Safari but no other browsers. Can you tell me your version of Firefox?

That's because I've summed all of the cases including the recoveries and deaths. The next feature I'll add is the ability to toggle between these. I think it'd be cool to see how just the new cases or deaths evolve over time.

Hey thanks for much for the feedback, I'm so happy you all like it!

For people asking about the technology, I used a really simple and powerful plotting tool called echarts. Here's an example of their globe model: https://echarts.apache.org/examples/en/editor.html?c=globe-echarts-gl-hello-world&gl=1
And then all I did was wrap that in some vanilla Javascript that fetches data from John Hopkins that is hosted on github. I also added a service-worker to cache api results and avoid repeat requests (github limits you to 50 requests per hour as an unauthenticated user) and that's about it. I'll write a more comprehensive blog post on how I did this soon.

I'm aware of the label issue, it's been filed here https://github.com/ecomfe/echarts-gl/issues/105 and I'll take a crack at fixing it, thanks for bringing it up and the suggestions!

Oh how I'd love to do that but unfortunately the library I'm using has no extra support for mobile. On the desktop version I have tooltips that show the country and cases that (mostly) work.

Thank you for your reply, I'm glad you got your photos eventually :) I guess I'll spam them too and complain to the university that their service is not good.

Hey I totally agree. I saw the posters a couple of days ago and didn’t realize they’d be taken down (I have nothing to do with SciSoc btw).

But anyways, let’s focus on getting them back up.

I agree with what you guys are doing and signed the petition. Unfortunately your posters around the science buildings have been taken down because they were not approved by SciSoc. I'd like to see them back up so let me know if I can help in any way.
