This pattern of stepping with different ds along a path has a lot of applications in control theory. Often we change the ds/dt ratio based on the known acceleration profile of a motor to minimize jerk and reach our destination as fast as possible.

Generally this idea is called motion profiling: https://www.motioncontroltips.com/what-is-a-motion-profile/

Honest question, how do you (or amyone) propose to vet drivers? They require drivers license and car insurance registration, anything like a CDL would make being a driver prohibitively expensive. Their rating system already works as a good signal the few times Ive used uber.
Re:Hono v4.0.0 on Friday February 09, 2024 @08:19AM (#39314545)
I use hono a lot and im going to avoid these new features for certain. Hono already had a problem with documentation and feature completeness for anything beyond their simple REST api, such as their middlewares like graphql and RPC. The jump in complexity from a meh graphql plugin to a full stack SSR framework is so massive and I don't think the current dev team can do it justice.

I highly recommend anyone looking into this to instead stick with larger, better community supported projects like Astro.

I lived for awhile in North Kingston RI and I absolutely loved the Rhode Island Computer Mueseum. It was usually staffed by older gentlemen, who would absolutely love to go into any topic related to computers they knew about. One of my now core memories is playing the original space wars on a working (only 8 remaining if i remember correctly) pdp 12 with one of my friends in elementary school.

Hand written wasm is too low level to use a UI framework with, but there are rust frameworks that compile to wasm for web. For example, Yew and Leptos are both web-first frameworks, and there are a few such as Dioxus or wgpu that are native-first and work on web.
I'm a High Schooler right now (pretty competent software, interested in hardware). If you dont mind me asking, what specifically has your double major opened up for you?
