Struggling with data exploration and analysis? 🤔 I built an Interactive Data Story Generator on @observablehq.com using Google DeepMind's ✨ Gemini API to generate insights & suggest 📊 data visualization code. Check out the demo: youtu.be/ySUQkP9LQ_c Try the notebook: observablehq.com/d/5440c743ff...

🤯Reactive Observable Inputs (JS/TS) do more than charts. Use inputs to directly control emergent behavior in complex simulations (flocking 🐦, physics ⚙️). See the whole system react instantly.⚡️↔️✨Interactive demo: observablehq.com/@observableh... #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

It appears that Red Bull Racing was the most inconsistent constructor for the 2024 F1 season... See it here: ari-s-123.github.io/F1-Dataviz-F...

For @johnguerra.bsky.social's @northeasternu.bsky.social #ProgramDesignParadigms class, I built an @observablehq.com reactive input widget that allows selecting complex data objects from a custom list. See demo -> observablehq.com/d/1f822423aa...

🤯 Run complex SQL (DuckDB WASM) on large datasets client-side with Observable Framework. 💾⚙️ Instant reactive charts/dashboards📊, avoiding server query load. ✨ Truly interactive! Example: observablehq.com/@uwdata/mosa... #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

✨ Observable Notebooks let you create reactive visualizations & real-time, auto-updating dashboards from data pipelines. No refresh needed. 📊 See this Nature Biotechnology example: simonw.github.io/observable-framework-experiments/package-downloads #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

TS TDD Tip! 🤯 Design w/ interfaces first, test against them, THEN implement. Catch compile & runtime bugs + keeps architecture clean. An excellent guide: www.linkedin.com/pulse/enhanc... #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

🔍 TIL about React Testing Library's "screen.query" priority order. Always prefer getByRole over getByTestId, it tests accessibility and functionality together. See how such anti-patterns can be avoided here: kentcdodds.com/blog/common-... #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

🕸️ Web Workers speed up web apps by moving computationally expensive tasks to separate threads, preventing UI freezes. Check out this great example of a Tic-Tac-Toe bot using Web Workers with Rust/WASM: github.com/code-juggler... #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

🪄 JS/TS wizadry: Use "promisify" to transform callback-based APIs into clean promises! Eliminate callback hell with async/await. See Bluebird's Promise.promisifyAll() handling entire modules at once in action: github.com/petkaantonov... #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

Level up your JS game with async magic: run a virtual coffee shop where orders flow in as async streams and every order is served without blocking the counter! ☕️🚀 Dive into this real-life analogy 👉 dev.to/koladev/a-si... #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

✨ Craft type-safe UI validators in JS with FP pattern matching! 🧩 Compose predicate functions for self-documenting form checks that fail gracefully. Check out Funcy's pattern matching: github.com/bramstein/fu... @northeasternu.bsky.social #ProgrammingParadigms

TIL JSDoc can enforce interface contracts in vanilla JS. Use `@implements` + `@interface` for pseudo-abstract classes that throw errors if methods aren’t implemented. Closure Compiler supports this Java-like OOP: github.com/google/closu... Hidden 💎 #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

A cool OOP trick is using an Abstract Factory to produce families of objects—like assembly lines dedicated to SUVs or sedans—so your code stays flexible and consistent and avoids tight coupling. A great TypeScript example: medium.com/@phdmeyildiz... #ProgrammingParadigms @northeasternu.bsky.social

TIL @threejs.org lets you create real-time reflections for 3D scenes. Your eyes get tricked into seeing depth on a flat screen as objects and their surroundings dynamically mirror each other 🤯. Here's a very cool example: threejs.org/examples/#we... #ProgrammingParadigms
@northeasternu.bsky.social

OOP, one of the most prevalent #ProgrammingParadigms taught at @northeasternu.bsky.social, organizes code around “objects,” increasing reusability & maintenance by encapsulating data & methods. Check out this great real-time sensor example (#3) in Python🐍: www.quickstart.com/blog/softwar...
