Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j

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.

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

Mac Color Picking Done Right

Picking a Color on Mac is hard. Mainly due to the fact that several applications floating around the web ( AppStore and independant ), grab the color "incorrectly".

Why incorrectly?

The color picker is not picking the "real" color, but rather, it's picking the color that your screen is displaying, what do I mean?

Lets try to grab the following color:

	(ns om-data.core
	(:require [om.core :as om :include-macros true]
	[om.dom :as dom :include-macros true]
	[datascript :as d]))

	(enable-console-print!)

	(def schema {})
	(def conn (d/create-conn schema))

	terminal = require('color-terminal')

	log = (error, stdout, stderr, cb) ->
	if error
	terminal.color('red').write stdout
	else
	terminal.color('green').write stdout

	cb()
