at a certain point it would probably help to meaningfully downsample/summarize the data at the larger scales..."semantic zooming"...then you just aren't plotting as many points

agree that using the API is likely the nicer route. you can also apply for a quota increase, I recently applied for youtube API quota increase to 100,000 units and it was approved for my app (https://cmdcolin.github.io/ytshuffle/) I was concerned they wouldn't like that the app downloads so much data but it was approved without much question, they just wanted terms of service prominently displayed to end users

got a "RequestError: certificate has expired" doing a release just now...as usual, not a good idea to release on a friday

typescriptifying some legacy code is a similar idle brain task that i've sometimes done

I always like this when the url is always copyable, but in our app, the state can get quite large. We started with base64 encoded gzip of json.stringified app state but just gets quite long. Arguably it could be reduced a little bit, but would still be hundreds-thousands of chars routinely, so we switched to using a little URL shortening service that we wrote on aws lambda+dynamodb

HTML5 canvases are probably subject to different rules. I have definitely run into canvas limits also. this stackoverflow from 2014 shows some limits https://stackoverflow.com/a/11585939/2129219 (looks updated in 2018 here https://github.com/jhildenbiddle/canvas-size#test-results)

I tried to render a piece of music horizontally on one canvas. That didn't work past a very low limit. In the end I chopped it up into multiple canvases and scroll at most two of them at the time (there is some risk of artifacts at the point where they meet, unfortunately).

I remember my neighbors dad showing us this on their compaq pc. I can't remember exactly what year it was I would guess it was probably <2004. I think it had a cool 3d visualizer thing with lots of polys but not google earth

Now if only other programs would agree (e.g. web browser)
