Bad Reasons to Start A Company

1. You want people to like you / want to be in charge of people / think you're a "leader"
2. You think you're smarter than everyone else
3. You think you have some technical "secret sauce" that no one else has and that this has intrinsic value
4. You think your PhD thesis is a product
5. Mummy and Daddy are giving you a seed round because they want to get you out of the house
6. You live in LA or New York and you're jealous of San Francisco
7. You heard that $fad (Big Data/IoT/Adtech/Fintech/whatever) was big

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• A Turkish translation can be found here, contributed by agyild.
• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Om and React.js Does It Better

A hopefully short and concise explanation as to how Om/React.js works. This probably isn't for you if you already use ClojureScript or Om.

The front end and JavaScript God known as David Nolen created a ClojureScript library called Om. Om is a front end library that uses React.js and makes web MVC not just obsolete, but an anti-pattern.

In Om there's just the data and the view.

This example pulls together various examples of work with trees in D3.js.

The panning functionality can certainly be improved in my opinion and I would be thrilled to see better solutions contributed.

One can do all manner of housekeeping or server related calls on the drop event to manage a remote tree dataset for example.

Dragging can be performed on any node other than root (flare). Dropping can be done on any node.

Panning can either be done by dragging an empty part of the SVG around or dragging a node towards an edge.
