Great read!

Then you benefit from react handling the lifecycle and initialization of all the intervals / animation frames when the components render etc…

If you need to model a simulation with a constant interval, then you could have:

- 1 use ref and useEffect & interval to update the simulation at a constant time, storing the result in a ref
- 1 state & useEffect & animation frame to derive the state from the information in the ref

and you can have as many states as you want, but I find for animations, it’s best to only change state once per frame.

Then using the data in state, return JSX with the SVG nodes, and react will diff the changes, only making the required changes to the dom, making rendering pretty seamless.

Something like (from memory, apologies)

const Sim = () => {

const [state, setState] = useState();

useEffect(() => {
let i
const f = () => {
setState(current => ({}))
i = requestAnimationFrame(f)
}
f()
return () => cancelAnimationFrame(i);
}, [])

// …
}

😅

Oh wait I think I get it, its just sharing one of the pairs of valid values 🤦‍♂️ not trying to be an equivalent expression to the above! Nvm

Right, but isn’t it also possible to be both unsafe and unsound, which isn’t allowed by the last expression, but is allowed by the ones above that?

Using OR would allow every combination except unsafe and sound

Not to be that guy, but shouldn’t the logical operator on the last line be ∨ (or) not ∧ (and) 😅

Rack was £140 - www.thomann.co.uk/flyht_pro_ra... UDM ~£360, Mac mount £200, power ~ £200, then whatever additional modules you want. Netcon was £280

I don’t have any of my own to hand, but it’s really secure in there: youtu.be/9SFQjIcq-XA?...

Directly below the dream machine. The rack mount has space for 2, but I’ve only used one of them. Unfortunately the latest gen Mac minis don’t fit in 1U any more 😥

🙈

Nice dream machine! 😄 I don’t have a homelab setup, but I do have

- A custom built NAS running Debian and ZFS (where I run my home services)
- A portable rack in a flight case (for event lighting) with a dream machine, M2 Mac Mini, DMX output, power twist power distribution & 16A Power in 😄

Cue complete lack of surprise… 🤦

Exactly as we expected, but worse than we thought
