What's the best way to average a bunch of angles to give a meaningful result around the wrap (i.e. -179 and 179 degrees should average to 180 degrees, not zero)?
My initial thought is to convert the angle to 2D I/Q coordinates on the complex plane, then do a vector average of the points, then atan2 to get back an angle.
Is there a better option that doesn't do trig for every sample?

A thing that literally anyone can do to show resistance and help prevent death and suffering: wear a proper N95 mask when in public.
COVID is spiking right now. People get injured, disabled and die from this every day.
Bought Xreal One AR sunglasses. Basically a virtual oled screen strapped to your face, but I quite like the experience so far. Might have to try out coding with them and the steamdeck too. They can present to a laptop as a ultra wide screen which seems nice.

I know as a developer just how hard it is to actually make it work, but perhaps the lesson of the Liquid Glass public reaction fiasco is for Apple to just give users •much• more control over the UI theme.
Between the retina transition, iOS 7, accessibility improvements like variable text size, dark mode support, and the long migration away from hard-coded layouts, we developers have grown used to making more adaptable UIs. Lots of the building blocks for OS-level theming are there, both in SwiftUI and in UIKit.
If Apple said “Themes are coming!” at WWDC 26, developers would adapt.
Assuming we still have a functioning society at that point.

Residents of Siyathi village in Mandi district, in India’s northern state of Himachal Pradesh, said their 5-month-old dog began barking around 1am on 30 June, just as heavy rains triggered a slope collapse that destroyed at least a dozen houses."
