ESM modules in node: npm edition

The proposal you’re about to read is not just a proposal. We have a working implementation of almost everything we discussed here. We encourage you to checkout and build our branch: our fork, with the relevant branch selected. Building and using the implementation will give you a better understanding of what using it as a developer is like.

Our implementation ended up differing from the proposal on some minor points. As our last action item before making a PR, we’re writing documentation on what we did. While I loathe pointing to tests in lieu of documentation, they will be helpful until we complete writing docs: the unit tests.

This repo also contains a bundled version of npm that has a new command, asset. You can read the documentation for and goals of that comma

Looking into the `Future`

futures-rs is the library which will hopefully become a shared foundation for everything async in Rust. However it's already become renowned for having a steep learning curve, even for experienced Rustaceans.

I think one of the best ways to get comfortable with using a library is to look at how it works internally: often API design can seem bizarre or impenetrable and it's only when you put yourself in the shoes of the library author that you can really understand why it was designed that way.

In this post I'll try to put down on "paper" my understanding of how futures work and I'll aim to do it in a visual way. I'm going to assume you're already somewhat familiar with Rust and why futures are a useful tool to have at one's disposal.

For most of this post I'll be talking about how things work today (as of September 2017). At the end I'll touch on what's being proposed next and also make a case for some of the changes I'd like to see.

If you're interested in learning more ab

Here are some of the examples of Reactive Programming libraries I've found in Purescript and what I've thought about them so far:

Purescript Behaviors: https://github.com/paf31/purescript-behaviors

I've never used a library with truly continuous Behaviors, so this was really neat to try out for me. Really nice to use and comes with utilities for working with browser events already, and gives you good Event modules for picking your sampling options as necessary.

I will probably use this library for all of my future uses.

gRPC Best Practice @ CoreOSFest 2017

Just small note for me. Hope the slide will be opened.

API design
- Idmpotency
  - It should be safe to retry an RPC without knowing whether it was processed

An Alias to run Chrome with tracing enabled

For Chrome Canary:

alias hydra='/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary --no-sandbox --js-flags="--user-data-dir=/tmp/profile --trace-hydrogen --trace-phase=Z --trace-deopt --code-comments --hydrogen-track-positions --redirect-code-traces"'

For regular ol' Chrome:

Array Iteration

https://gist.github.com/ljharb/58faf1cfcb4e6808f74aae4ef7944cff

While attempting to explain JavaScript's reduce method on arrays, conceptually, I came up with the following - hopefully it's helpful; happy to tweak it if anyone has suggestions.

Intro

JavaScript Arrays have lots of built in methods on their prototype. Some of them mutate - ie, they change the underlying array in-place. Luckily, most of them do not - they instead return an entirely distinct array. Since arrays are conceptually a contiguous list of items, it helps code clarity and maintainability a lot to be able to operate on them in a "functional" way. (I'll also insist on referring to an array as a "list" - although in some languages, List is a native data type, in JS and this post, I'm referring to the concept. Everywhere I use the word "list" you can assume I'm talking about a JS Array) This means, to perform a single operation on the list as a whole ("atomically"), and to return a new list - thus making it mu

What is React Fiber? And how can I try it out today?

what?

React Fiber is an ongoing reimplementation of React's core algorithm. It is the culmination of over two years of research by the React team.

Building a GraphQL API in Rails - Part 1

This is a series blog post cover above three topics of GraphQL:

About GraphQL
Building a basic API with Rails
Some best practices

GraphQL is not a new thing, it already exist for a while, the reason I decide to investigate it is because Github released their GraphQL API alpha currently. We know Github has been a very good company for a long time, their RESTful API also becomes some kind of standard for developers, so it's pretty interesting to see what’s new they've been released.
