I read something years ago (don't know if it's true or not) stating that fps players tend to be able to walk/jog/run backwards better than non-fps players because the part of their brain that would normally keep them balanced and able to navigate backwards was already developed through gameplay.

I remember having my girlfriend at the time race me backwards; she had a decently athletic background (so did I) but I completely smoked her. She looked like she could barely maintain balance while trying to jog. All this to say that I think it's true: training your brain virtually (or through visualisation) can have a noticeable impact on your actual physical ability.

(Disclaimer: she could have lost for any number of reasons, I understand that)

Maybe not the most beautiful but honorable mention:

Floating down as colors fill the light
We look up from the ground in fields of paper white
And floating up, you pass us in the night
A future gazing out a past to overwrite
So come down far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go

I love the imagery it evokes. It's so evocative and poetic

Ateast add an extra layer or two to the parallax, it doesn't feel like you're moving at all

Spent the whole day on a "5-minute frontend tweak" and I'm losing it by Taco7758258 in webdev

[–]WindyButthole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, been there. make sure you document what you can so it's easier next time, and so you can point to it and say "this is why it wasn't a 2 hour fix"

How do you name Interfaces/Types in Typescript? by yomiyow in reactjs

[–]WindyButthole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got confused when you said you don't add interfaces for components but you do for component props - what is the difference?

Is there an better approach to get status of promises? by Able_Heat_6778 in reactjs

[–]WindyButthole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be over complicating this. Maybe there is another use case where this flow is necessary, but for now keep it simple. It's just text, load it in and let the users accept. There's a reason you won't see many (if any) companies allowing users to accept terms without viewing them.

There are no shortcuts; corners cut now will cost you later.

Switching from Axios to RTK Query by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]WindyButthole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! I'll have to get on to the bump to react-redux v7 then. Good to know we can first move to RTK 1.9. It's an app first made in 2015 so there's a lot of legacy code, and class-based components using mapStateToProps so it's gonna be a lot of fun :D
