I want to update the UI after doing async background work using Task.detached and an async function.

However, I get a build error Reference to captured var 'a' in concurrently-executing code error during build.

I tried some things and turning the variable into a let constant before updating the UI is the only thing that works. Why do I need to make a let constant before being able to update the UI? Are there alternatives?

I'm trying to make an Infinite marquee that speeds up on scroll, https://altsdigital.com/ you can see the effect on this website, the text says "Not your usual SEO agency" and when you scroll it speeds up.

Here's what I've tried but it does not work. It does not loop properly without overlapping (keep your eye on the left side of the page, you'll notice the text briefly overlaps and then translates left to create a gap) and I am unsure on how to fix it:

Here's the code (TEXT ONLY VISIBLE ON "FULL PAGE" view):

I want to extract story plots from the English Wikipedia. I'm only looking for a few (~100) and the source of the plots doesn't matter, e.g. novels, video games, etc.

I briefly tried a few things that didn't work, and need some clarification on what I'm missing and where to direct my efforts. It would be nice if I could avoid manual parsing and could get just issue a single query.

This repo downloads the pages-articles dump, expands it using wikiextractor, then scans each article and saves the contents of each section whose title contains "plot". This is a heavy-handed method of achieving what I want, but I gave it a try and failed. I had to run wikiextractor inside Docker because there are known issues with Windows, and then wikiextractor failed because there is a problem with the --html flag.

I could probably get this working but it would take a lot of effort and there seemed like better ways.

I used the Wikidata SPARQL service and was able to get some queries working, but it seems like Wikidata only deals with metadata and relationships. Specifically, I was able to get novel titles but unable to get novel summaries.

In theory, DBpedia should be exactly what I want because it's "Wikipedia but structured", but they don't have nice tutorials and examples like Wikidata so I couldn't figure out how to use their SPARQL endpoint. Google wasn't much help either and seemed to imply that it's common to setup your own graph DB to query, which is beyond my scope.

This is a new query service that lets you query several Wikimedia databases. Sounds promising but I was again unable to grab content.

This SO answer says I can query PetScan to get Wikipedia titles, download HTML from Wikipedia.org, then parse that HTML. This sounds like it would work, but PetScan looks intimidating and this involves HTML parsing that I want to avoid if possible.

According to the AHK Docs on Run, it accepts the following syntax:

There are so many ways to define colour scales within ggplot2. After just loading ggplot2 I count 22 functions beginging with scale_color_* (or scale_colour_*) and same number beginging with scale_fill_*. Is it possible to briefly name the purpose of the functions below? Particularly I struggle with the differences of some of the functions and when to use them.

• scale_*_binned()
• scale_*_brewer()
• scale_*_continuous()
• scale_*_date()
• scale_*_datetime()
• scale_*_discrete()
• scale_*_distiller()
• scale_*_fermenter()
• scale_*_gradient()
• scale_*_gradient2()
• scale_*_gradientn()
• scale_*_grey()
• scale_*_hue()
• scale_*_identity()
• scale_*_manual()
• scale_*_ordinal()
• scale_*_steps()
• scale_*_steps2()
• scale_*_stepsn()
• scale_*_viridis_b()
• scale_*_viridis_c()
• scale_*_viridis_d()

What I tried

I've tried to make some research on the web but the more I read the more I get onfused. To drop some random example: "The default scale for continuous fill scales is scale_fill_continuous() which in turn defaults to scale_fill_gradient()". I do not get what the difference of both functions is. Again, this is just an example. Same is true for scale_color_binned() and scale_color_discrete() where I can not name the difference. And in case of scale_color_date() and scale_color_datetime() the destription says "scale_*_gradient creates a two colour gradient (low-high), scale_*_gradient2 creates a diverging colour gradient (low-mid-high), scale_*_gradientn creates a n-colour gradient." which is nice to know but how is this related to scale_color_date() and scale_color_datetime()? Looking for those functions on the web does not give me very informative sources either. Reading on this topic gets also chaotic because there are tons of color palettes in different packages which are sequential/ diverging/ qualitative plus one can set same color in different ways, i.e. by color name, rgb, number, hex code or palette name. In part this is not directly related to the question about the 2*22 functions but in some cases it is because providing a "wrong" palette results in an error (e.g. the error"Continuous value supplied to discrete scale).

Why I ask this

I need to do many plots for my work and I am supposed to provide some function that returns all kind of plots. The plots are supposed to have similiar layout so that they fit well together. One aspect I need to consider here is that the colour scales of the plots go well together. See here for example, where so many different kind of plots have same colour scale. I was hoping I could use some general function which provides a colour palette to any data, regardless of whether the data is continuous or categorical, whether it is a fill or col easthetic. But since this is not how colour scales are defined in ggplot2 I need to understand what all those functions are good for.

I am trying to understand various functions provided by etcd election api and what they mean semantically.

In their official documentation very briefly mentioned about what each function does, and no examples are provided. For example we have methods:

As seen in this repository:

I am using a table called covid_vaccinations.

To briefly explain about the table, it tracks down all the countries' vaccination completion by every single day from Feb xx, 2020 to Jan XX, 2022.

• The name of the countries are called 'location' in this table.
• The countries (location) are also categorized in the column of 'continent'

To find the people who are fully vaccinated in Asia, I used the query below:

I have a list of items in a table. I would like an item's row to briefly flash with a highlight due to some external events.

I have a CSS animation fadingHighlight to accomplish the desired visual effect, and when an event comes in I set a class last-updated on the desired row to trigger the animation.

However, when an update comes in for the same row multiple times in a row, only the first update causes a flash. (I believe this is because react persists the last-updated class on the row rather than re-rendering it, and thus the css doesn't re-start the animation.)

How can I re-trigger the animation if the same item gets updates multiple times in a row?
