Why do people still use these ancient chips?
If you just do a start/end point it will create a cubic with 2 endpoints and 2 control points. But if you drop a whole series of points (up to 12 I think) it will create a curve that passes though all of them. This is done by internally creating a bunch of cubic splines where the control points are automatically positioned and not shown. You still get 2 control points for the derivatives at the ends, unless you create a closed loop.
An 8 bit micro didn't have bandwidth for more than 256kbps, and hence you only saw them use SD or DD floppies.
From these graphs I see that I always wanted the simple Quadratic version, and would use 2 of them in sequence to approximate a Cubic version. That would be so much easier. But if the software could allow me to adjust the midpoint, and maintain a smooth transition, that would be perfect. I think.
So I basically wish for a different interface, one that has more thought put into it. Now it's a "give access to the parameters, and be done with it" kind. As if novices don't have the need for a nice smooth curve between known points.
make me instantly lost interest in the language.
so it seems to me you're hung up on the current limitations of the language server, which is an implementation detail.
if what you want is actually important, the syntax should have been `import yyy.xxx as xxx` or similar, with optional `as xxx`, instead of a Cobol inspired syntax detail to remember.
We ran out the (then) measly data allotment of the day (500MB) on purpose on the last day of the billing period to try this.
This gives me excellent results with far less typing and time.
