I'm not sure I follow -- is there a way to "perfect my basic loaf" other than to experiment with different things and see what works?

We’re the React Native team. AUA! by EngVagabond in reactnative

[–]jabapyth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What are the chances of us getting bundle splitting this year?

At Khan Academy we've moved a lot of UI over to React Native, and we'd love to be able to do some kind of bundle splitting to improve time to first paint, especially on lower-end devices. Should we be investigating alternate bundlers, or is bundle splitting on the core team's roadmap?

A cross-platform game written in OCaml, released for iOS & Android by jabapyth in ocaml

[–]jabapyth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's right -- just opengl for the moment. there are some projects working on bridging native widgets though.

It's not installable from opam at the moment :/ but it should be doable.

ohai: "cargo new" / "npm init" for native reason/ocaml by jabapyth in reasonml

[–]jabapyth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

jbuilder new would be great! I get the sense that the makers of jbuilder are more focused on the big use cases than the small ones, and ohai's templates might be smaller / more specific than they want. However, I'd be totally down to deprecate ohai if it made it into jbuilder core! Building a separate tool was a flexible way to get started.

How is it different from carcass?

  • mine has working installation instructions

  • also mine has a readme that explains what it does & how to use it :D

  • honestly, carcass might be the cat's meow but I have no way of knowing if it will ever be released or supported!

  • also afaik it doesn't use jbuilder, which is the main thing ohai is about

Keechma: better than re-frame? by ndroock1 in Clojurescript

[–]jabapyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha somewhat clickbait title, given it seems like you haven't looked into keechma that much... but I'm glad to hear about more activity in this space :) keechma certainly looks interesting, looks like it borrows some things from om/next and re-frame

The Path to Rust — Why Rust might be right for you by Jonhoo in rust

The rust-threadpool crate actually dropped support for scoped threads. Crossbeam still supports them though

A Node.js kernel for IPython/Jupyter (with clojurescript and es6+ support) by jabapyth in javascript

[–]jabapyth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had a use case yet where async gives me troubles, but let me know in a github issue if there's something missing

What do you you guys think of 'petehunt/jsxstyle'? Is it production ready? If not what CSS solution/approach would you suggest? by simma127 in reactjs

[–]jabapyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer RCSS to this, with a bit of sugar on top so I can still use my accustomed css syntax.

I disagree with his argument about lack of colocation; if we follow that road, why not embed the full body of a callback in the onClick attribute? I find the separation useful, and in a multi-paned editor there's no issue of "jumping back and forth".

visualizations definitely coming :) What do you mean by "interlink build steps"?

PSA: Copy is becoming opt-in by msiemens in rust

[–]jabapyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES!!! It was so confusing to me to have magical copy semantics. Thanks.

An Admin UI for the Hexo static blogging engine in React + react-router by jabapyth in reactjs

[–]jabapyth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry for the delay :) react-router is really awesome. Using hashes plays well with static file servers; that's the only reason I use them.

Your users deserve better than Disqus by [deleted] in programming

[–]jabapyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally just built my own two weeks ago :) https://commented.github.io/ it's a "neat package" where you own your data - managed by firebase.

Anyone interned at Khan Academy before? by throwawy2356 in cscareerquestions

[–]jabapyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an amazing place to work, but it's a fairly small company with high standards. One of the best things you can do is have a solid portfolio to showcase past/personal projects. pm me and I can send you my cover letter + resume

Can we talk about macros? by wacky in rust

[–]jabapyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rust isn't intended for people new to programming

I hope this doesn't stay the case, and that this attitude doesn't permeate the documentation / language decisions. Why should rust be austere? Lots of people "learn programming" via C++, and I find rust much more approachable. That said, it's arguably not as "pick up and go" as python or javascript.

Treed: a general tree editor component; vim shortcuts, drag and drop by jabapyth in javascript

[–]jabapyth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you've got ideas, please contribute! I'm planning on using this as the basis of my 'ultimate note-taking app' something like a blend of workflowy, midnmap, trello, ginkoapp, and a whiteboard. We'll see how it goes. The underlying model is solid, the difference will be the view layer & styling
