I recreated this in 3D using threejs and now I kinda understand why they did this

- Did you know a GeoJSON containing all country borders is only 1MB? Small enough to search in real-time
00:00 - I made a human-readable CSV lookup file that maps coordinates to their country code. This one has an accuracy of 30km
00:00 - Replying to @gsusMadyes but then the curve would also be different for each wheel, and the either the AM or PM would still be invisible
- I’m making a military radar for live tracking aircraft, just for fun. Inspired by @stevelauda_ design
00:00 - Made a public github repo with the main logic, it combines a three.js sphere with a 2d canvas to render thousands of labels at 60fps.
00:00 - Replying to @samuelfriday239because you introduce a lot of things that need to be solved, but you gain nothing in return.
- Replying to @nilsxorBasically I cast a ray from the mouse onto the globe, get the hit point, convert it to lat/lon, then find the relevant country and draw its shape. I cache the shape so redraws are even faster
- Not that generic dashboard you usually see.
- You can now see military flight paths up to -24 hours with a slider, and I added some graphs to display the collected aircraft data.
00:00 - Replying to @nilsxor30 kilometer accuracy is about 3.5MB, 1 meter would be about 1.5PB
