fwiw, Bun/webkit is much better in mem use if your code is written in a way that avoids creating new strings. it won't be a 100x improvement, but 5x is attainable.

i'm actually quite curious how it would perform relative to the C version. the article shows 1000x particles, but LittleJS has demos with a couple orders of magnitude more than that at 60fps. e.g. https://killedbyapixel.gith

you can specify the linear threshold for asinh as well, but the transition is smooth. asinh also has log scaling beyond this threshold. https://specialfunctionswiki.org/index.php/Arcsinh

by leeoniya 2y ago
yep, this was a fun aspect i discovered when doing the implementation as well. the log base just affects the tick/grid selection and where you might want to "nicely" snap the min and max to.

> that turns into a linear scale around zero how does this actually work? afaik, there is no log() fn that you can run which "becomes linear". i guess you can wrap a call to log() in another fn that simply does linear scaling b

i think sometimes it's called symlog, though i'm not sure if that's just a convenient re-naming of arcsinh. i don't see how any kind of "log" scale can do <= 0. you can always y-flip the result of log(abs(va

another nice one is Inverse Hyperbolic Sine scale, which can reach 0 and plot negative values, whereas log scales cannot. imo it's nicer than a cube root scale, too. https://leeoniya.github.io/uPlot/demos/arcs
