Too late to edit so replying to myself. I was mostly wrong. The GPS limits are much higher than I thought, and accuracy of INS is too low, although I still think that limit is arti…

I would argue that most websites have a lifetime similar to the components :). For the ones that don't, backwards compatibility on the web is amazing, only thing to worry about is …

Easy to cause it by combining bootstrap components and JQueryUI. In React you can "scope" a components CSS so none of the styling leaks out

It's okay, I was wrong about what the limits are too. They've been increased a lot

Java Applets were before their time. It took JS/HTML the good part of a decade to catch up functionality and performance-wise

Possible maybe but unusual. 99% of ham is narrowband, GPS is spread across a megahertz. Somebody goofed and made a TV tuner chip that could be used as an SDR at that sample rate, a…

You might be right but I have doubts. Most weapons are INS guided despite the long fly times of cruise missiles etc. ITAR has a massive chilling effect on development, I wouldn't b…

Fibre optic gyros can be miniturized to millimeter dimension, if it wasn't for ITAR. High end civilian IMU's typically use mechanical gyros which have been obsolete for decades. Al…

The limits are higher altitude and faster speed then you've ever been. If the Concorde was around you would see it firsthand. Weapons would be worthless against first world defence…

Yes. Look at the ham hobby, hardly any of them can pick up GPS signals, despite the technology being literally everywhere

The real answer is star navigation at night and interial + sun guided during the day. Phone hardware is perfectly capable but ITAR says otherwise. There's a reason why every legal …

Exactly why I said 20 years! The hopeless diamond. I would still delete this if real. Even though you didn't give away anything of substance it's enough to be marked a traitor

All satellite nagivation systems are trivially jammable. They use DSSS to spread out codes and resist jamming but signal levels are still so weak at the surface it's trivial to blo…

Not surprised, but you might want to delete this. If there's nothing on the internet but this post I would keep quiet. I use long lasting throwaways but it's trivial to find me. If…

Not a big believer in traditional conspiracy theories. But, there's a lot of evidence that the US military has a lot more than they let on. I mean, GPS, the internet, strong encryp…

Devil's advocate, but I have a feeling black people, at least in the US, are driven to look "hipper" from systemic racism. When society is generally more suspicious and condescendi…

I'm talking about my code specifically. With React I can pull in a massively complex UI component in few lines. The complexity is shifted to the library that hopefully has thousand…

IMO, Google put a new stage on embrace extend extinguish I call "neglect". Make everything open source and nice, then continue to update G specific functionality by simply not main…

It's not about how complex the component is. In my experience what matters is how easy it is to use. With React it's easy to build a world in a teacup, and that's mostly a good thi…

Development with React is becoming similar to old school event driven desktop apps, thankfully. If I want a fancy drop-down with accessibility support and theming etc, there's prob…

Angular's learning curve is the worst I've ever seen. We mostly use it because "Enterprise" but I prefer React when we get permission for that reason. Too much abstraction, too muc…

I haven't had to do so much myself, but the docs have decent info on how to obtain it. https://reactjs.org/docs/integrating-with-other-libraries.ht...

Transpiled JS specifically. JS is the only popular language with a great deal of differences between versions and runtimes, mostly due to rapid improvements. If you use "vanilla" E…

Typescript is super easy to bring into a project. Just rename .js to .ts and turn the validations off. Any valid JS is also valid TS. Build step is one command to run tsc. You can …

It's extremely easy to use React in small parts of the page and spread it out over time. It's a couple lines of code to init React in a div and fully supported. You can even commun…
