Re:Fenwick Trees
on Monday August 17, 2015 @10:46PM (#10077346)
Great post! I found Fenwick trees particularly useful when I was implementing layout / view recycling. The problem is that you need to keep track of a large number of vertically stacked elements with dynamic & varying heights, and you need a way to efficiently get the prefix sum. Would be curious if anyone else has real life use cases of these.

Re:What the Flux?
on Tuesday January 27, 2015 @02:19PM (#8955073)
For me, the part of Flux that's difficult to understand is how server data flows into the cycle (left-hand side of the diagram). The Flux docs only recommends that server interactions should be done from the Action Creators. However, things are actually more complicated than that:
- how do you resolve server / client data conflicts?
- how do stores work with a RESTful API?
- how do you handle network failures, retries, etc?
At Quizlet, we designed a hybrid solution [1] with "syncers" that act as the gateway for network I/O. Syncers are responsible for taking view-level data (ViewModels) and exchanging them with the server (ServerModels). It works well with our REST API. Yahoo has also released their own thing called Fetchr [2] which is more tightly integrated to stores.
I'm curious to see how other people are approaching this problem.

I'd like to see scoping added so it's possible to easily switch keyboard bindings based on the feature/context.
https://github.com/madrobby/keymaster does an OK job with this, and too bad it's not being actively maintained.

on Wednesday November 05, 2014 @12:34PM (#8562981)
Point #2 is especially spot on. Right now TransitionGroup clones every child [1] to preserve children for unmounting, but it's incredibly inefficient, especially if you have thousands of elements. Not to mention, as a side-effect, it requires wrappers to preserve refs. [2]

Re:Facebook Flux – Application Architecture for Building User Interfaces
on Monday July 28, 2014 @01:05PM (#8098007)
It's great to see Facebook releasing code for Flux. Hope to see more in the future. Here are some other implementations of Flux for anyone who's interested:
https://github.com/BinaryMuse/fluxxor
https://github.com/jmreidy/fluxy
https://github.com/yahoo/flux-example
We recently adopted this architecture for a medium-scale project. The unidirectional data flow has greatly reduced code complexity for us. We're still not satisfied with our server syncing strategy. Seems like actions are the best place to sync data, but how do you deal with interdependent actions?
In China, it's called "circle a" (圈a), "flowery a" (花a), or "little mouse" (小老鼠). In Taiwan, it's most commonly called "little mouse"

Re:Why We Do All-Hands Support at Olark

I think doing all-hands support in a way that's efficient (not taking too much out of engineer's time) and scalable requires a well-designed system to support it. Quizlet, where I've worked before, does a good job of this. See: http://quizlet.com/inside-quizlet/quizlets-incredible-feedba...
