Animation of linear and polar subplots with matplotlib: not synchronous plots

I'd like to plot in the same figure simulated data: in a subplot I want to show both the current new value and the previous ones linked with a line; in the other subplot, only the current value is represented on a polar plot. This value is generated as a random variable comprised between -180° and +180°. The figure and two subplots are updated by a timer tick event that animates them simulating an online stream acquisition. Here is the code I wrote:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.text as mTxt
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation
import random as rnd


def timerTick_Event(i):
    global baseTime, yaw, index   
    
    index = index + 1
    
    f = plt.gcf()
    allAxes = f.get_axes()
    ax1 = allAxes[0]
    ax2 = allAxes[1]
    
    
    ax1.cla()
    ax1.plot(baseTime[index-9 : index],   yaw[index-9 : index], label='YAW', color='b')
    ax1.legend() 
    
    
    for child in ax2.get_children():
        if isinstance(child, mTxt.Annotation):
            child.remove()
    
    ax2.lines.pop(0) 
    
    plt.polar([0, yaw[index-1]], [0, 1], color='b')
    plt.annotate('', xytext=(0, 0), xy=(yaw[index-1], 1),
                  arrowprops=dict(facecolor='b', edgecolor='none',
                                  headlength=12, headwidth=10, shrink=1, width=0))
    

# DATA CREATION
baseTime = np.array([0])
yaw = np.array([0])
for sample in range(300):
    baseTime = np.append(baseTime, baseTime[-1] + 0.1)
    yaw   = np.append( yaw,   (180.0/np.pi) * rnd.uniform(-np.pi, np.pi) )


# %% FIGURE PREPARATION
index = 9
f1 = plt.figure(1)
ax1 = plt.subplot(121)
plt.plot(baseTime[0:index], yaw[0:index], label='YAW', color='b')
plt.legend(); plt.xlabel('TIME (s)'); plt.ylabel('EULER ANGLES (°)'); plt.ylim([-201, 201])

ax2 = plt.subplot(122, projection='polar')
plt.polar([0, yaw[index-1]], [0, 0])
ax2.set_rticks([])
ax2.set_rmin(0)
ax2.set_rmax(1)
ax2.set_thetalim(-np.pi, np.pi)
ax2.set_xticks(np.linspace(np.pi, -np.pi, 8, endpoint=False))
#ax2.set_xticklabels(['S', 'SE', 'E', 'NE', 'N', 'NW', 'W', 'SW'])
ax2.grid(False)
ax2.set_theta_direction(-1) # Theta increases in the clockwise direction
ax2.set_theta_zero_location("N")


# %% START THE ANIMATION
ani = FuncAnimation(f1, timerTick_Event, interval = 5000)

As you can see running the script, even if the new value is the same for the two subplots, they are not synchronous and represent different values. I would like to see at each timer tick, the same updated value for both the subplots.

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...

How to show number of registered users in Laravel based on usertype?

i'm trying to display data from the database in the admin dashboard i used this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count(); echo $users; ?> and i have successfully get the correct data from the database but what if i want to display a specific data for example in this user table there is "usertype" that specify if the user is normal user or admin i want to user the same code above but to display a specific usertype i tried this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count()->WHERE usertype =admin; echo $users; ?> but it didn't work, what am i doing wrong? source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68199726/how-to-show-number-of-registered-users-in-laravel-based-on-usertype
