Some thoughts on how to have nicer discussions online

Towards Discussion Guidelines

I personally like to have discussions in the spirit of the Socratic method. Instead of declaring my opinion, I ask a relevant question. How about this situation? What about this case? This has two possible outcomes.

  1. The other person explains to me how things work in that case. I realize that I misunderstood, and we both come out enriched and in agreement.
  2. The other person realizes that those situations are not covered. They realize they misunderstood, and we both come out enriched and in agreement.

In both cases, it could have been a conflict, egos crashing together. But by asking questions, it becomes a collaboration to find the best answer. Even the simple act of asking a question in the first place says, "I care what you have to say, we can agree on this." That said, I have noticed that it is definitely still possible for things to go wrong within this framework. How can this happen?

There was a passage from [The

This is a response to Bill Fisher regarding experience with Flux:

@abdullin Also, can you clarify what you mean by "solution structure"? I am thinking about revising the examples soon.

Currently all flux samples (that I've seen) group files into folders based on technical similarity. For example, stores go with stores, action creators reside in the same folder shared with the other action creators.

This pattern works quite well for smaller projects. It feels especially good for the sample projects of various MVC frameworks, when you have just a bunch of controllers, models and views.

However, as we discovered on some production projects, such approach doesn't scale well. At some point you end up with dozens of technically similar files per folder and logically messy solution.

Super simple hack to automatically switch to a specific Node version on CD (using NVM and ZSH)
# Detects if a .nvmrc file exists, and switches
# to the specified version if it does.
# The contents of the .nvmrc file should simply be the node
# version to use, like "v0.8.11"
# Put this in your .zshrc file or somewhere else that is loaded automatically
function chpwd() {
emulate -L zsh
if [[ -f .nvmrc ]] then
nvm use `cat .nvmrc`
fi

iOS6 webkit timer bug workaround
(function (window) {
// This library re-implements setTimeout, setInterval, clearTimeout, clearInterval for iOS6.
// iOS6 suffers from a bug that kills timers that are created while a page is scrolling.
// This library fixes that problem by recreating timers after scrolling finishes (with interval correction).
// This code is released in the public domain. Do with it what you want, without limitations. I do not promise
// that it works, or that I will provide support (don't sue me).
