bdat··on Flux Architecture Visual Cheatsheet
I totally missed the concept of having high-level Controller-Views when I first started playing around with React. Just understanding the concept is only half the battle too; you have to have the self-control to keep lower-level components immutable using props and pass in the 'state' via the higher-level controller-views. Has anyone had experience with Flex and the Cairngorm Framework (from back in the day)? I find Flux borrows heavily from its design.
bdat··on Ask HN: What are your hobbies, and why are they cool?
Hello fellow boulderer! I have seen (anecdotally) that climbing has adverse effects on slouching. Your back muscles grow disproportionately to your chest muscles producing rounded, hunched shoulders.
bdat··on Icons of all main payment operators and methods
I was only explaining the advantage over png. Great point about the use-case though. The average site is probably not going to offer 95 payment options/operators; a specialized svg library might be more appropriate.

They will scale well with high ppi screens.

This made me laugh and is totally true. Defining your timeline seems like a necessary first step to using that phrase.
bdat··on Ask HN: Which book are you reading these days?
Just started reading Ubik and liking it so far. Before that I reread To Kill a Mockingbird. I really enjoy hacking on side projects in my free time but sometimes it's nice to step away. I've found getting deep into a book is a good way for me to do that.

I'm actually just using IndexedDB so it doesn't sync. I use Chrome storage to cache the license (in case you were wondering about the permissions). There is a special Chrome storage sync api but it's limited to 800kb I think. I'm still exploring a good way to implement (unlimited) sync. Thanks for the feedback!

I wrote a chrome extension called Symplie that lets you write and view notes in Markdown: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/symplie/kjadigajmc...

Developer here. I've worked on this Chrome extension for ~4 weekends and I've just made it public on the Chrome Web Store. feedback is welcome!

bdat··on The Fall of Facebook
> Who cares what people say?

I agree. For me, Facebook has become more of a utility. If asked the same questions I would probably answer in a similar way. I do not 'love' Facebook the way I 'love' other products but it has its uses.

bdat··on Chattanooga offers residents lightning-quick connections, to telecoms' dismay
Are you not proving the point? Saying that government-run projects are limited because of the decisions of the government doesn't seem to be a great argument for government-run projects.
