Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Trigfills

Sin, cos, tan, asin, acos and atan polyfills for when cross browser consistency is desired.

Reason

Differences in trig function output between firefox and chrome, caused strainer/fancy simulations to run differently on the different browsers. Refilling the trig functions fixed this.

These 'Trigfills' do not have the full float64 bit accuracy which browser math functions have (almost) however they are more than 'float32 accurate' and are about as quick as browser math, and they can provide consistency across browsers.

Usage

//require or import trigfills.js
  
  trigf=require('./pathto/trigfills.js')

//sin, cos, tan, asin, acos and atan methods
//are all available on the object.

  eg=trigf.cos(rads)

//run setmaths() to override Math.cos ,Math.sin etc...

  trigf.setmaths() 

//then Math trig functions are replaced with Trigfills:

  Math.cos === trigf.cos
  Math.atan === trigf.atan //etc... 
  Math.hasTrigfills === "version string"

Algorithm/Developement

www.mathonweb.com has well described good algorithms for these math functions. I extended the minimum precision of these from about 6 digits to about 10, by extending a little the talyor series which were given, and then by mining tweaked factors (non-exhaustively).

Tests

drafts/test_node.log contains nodes test output and test_moz.log a firefox output. The functions have least 9 or 10 digits accuracy, and may run a little faster than browser Math equivalents.

Foibles

  • Math.sin(Math.PI) returns 1.2246467991473532e-16 rather than 0 because Math.PI is a smidgen less that the true value of PI. This is explained in this SO Topic Trigfill's sin and cos do not follow this specification as the value is far below their noise floor.

  • Math.tan(Math.PI/2) does not return Infinity because of the same idea. Trigfill's tan does comply with this, it does not return Infinity as this result could bug calculations not expecting it.
