High level style in javascript.

Opinions are like assholes, every one has got one.

This one is mine.

Punctuation: who cares?

Punctuation is a bikeshed. Put your semicolons, whitespace, and commas where you like them.

5 entertaining things you can find with the GitHub Search API

Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].

Today we're looking for:

• The hottest repositories created in the last week.
• The oldest user accounts with zero followers. (So sad.)
• Issue trends by language.
• Clojure projects defying convention.

Interesting part (unmounting & API) is at the end if you're not interested in the rest =).

Stress Tests

This animation proposal is just an attempt. In case it doesn't work out, I've gathered a few examples that can test the power of a future animation system.

1. Parent is an infinitely spinning ball, and has a child ball that is also spinning. Clicking on the parent causes child to reverse spinning direction. This tests the ability of the animation system to compose animation, not in the sense of applying multiple interpolations to one or more variables passed onto the child (this should be trivial), but in the sense that the parent's constantly updating at the same time as the child, and has to ensure that it passes the animation commands correctly to it. This also tests that we can still intercept these animations (the clicking) and immediately change their configuration instead of queueing them.

2. Typing letters and let them fly in concurrently. This tests concurrency, coordination of an array of ch

Highly recommended things!

This is my five-star list. These are my favorite things in all the world.

A few of these works have had an extraordinary effect on my life or way of thinking. They get a sixth star. ★

While I was experimenting with animation, I had to make a few basic prototypes for a layout system and see how they intertwine. Here's the API in conjunction with React:

var MyComp = React.createClass({
  registerLayoutValues: function() {
    return {
      self: {
        width: 30,
        left: (get('parent', 'width') - get('self', 'width')) / 2 // Center.
 }

Simple implementation of debounced fetching in GraphQL to allow merging of multiple rest / database requests into one. Although this example uses GraphQL, the debouncedFetch / fetchProgramPlaycount implementations could probably be used in any context to achieve the same result.

This approach was first described by @leebyron at graphql/graphql-js#19 (comment)

For example this allows turning ten requests for playcounts from this GraphQL query into just one:

{
  latestPrograms(first: 10) {
    name,

playcount
