eltaco··on Open-Sourcing CloudFlare’s UI Framework
James is also on the Lerna team as well! He and I can answer questions about that too. (We also have a slack https://slack.lernajs.io/)

eltaco··on Performance of ES6 features relative to ES5
You can use loose mode or the loose option in that case.
eltaco··on ESLint: A Next-Generation JavaScript Linter
ESLint is pretty awesome - the project has a great team and always adding new functionality (cache and then parallel linting sound great)!

Although it isn't unique for all the features listed, as JSCS has the same things: an autoconfigure feature, built-in (as well as user created) presets/configs, multiple formatters, custom plugins/rules, custom parsers (esprima/espree/babel), autofixing of almost all rules. Hopefully both projects can benefit or integrate better together more in the future? (I contribute to both!)

I think autofixing for all rules (maybe with https://github.com/cst/cst) would be a nice goal for the future when thinking about the next-generation of linters. Making it easier to update configs when new rules/options are added would be nice as well.

eltaco··on The Hardest Program I've Ever Written
There's an issue for a CST (AST with whitespace, comments, etc) in the estree repo [1]. JSCS is planning on using https://github.com/mdevils/cst for future autofixing rules.

eltaco··on The Hardest Program I've Ever Written
For javascript, there's been jsbeautifier [1], jsfmt [2], uglify.

JSCS [3] added autofixing a while back for most whitespace rules, and ESLint has just begun autofixing as well [4]

eltaco··on Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide
You can use the airbnb preset with JSCS (javascript code style checker) [1].

Also there's an autofix feature for most of the whitespace rules (`jscs src --preset=airbnb --fix`) so you won't have to fix everything manually.

eltaco··on ECMAScript 2015 Approved
There's currently a issue for "speed": https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/1486. Looks like it complied ember core from 50s to 18s now.

eltaco··on Vibrant.js: Extract prominent colors from an image
Great! Reminds me of color thief: http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/color-thief/
eltaco··on Ask HN: What are some projects on GitHub that I can learn how to program from?
You could try implementing some of the methods in underscore/lodash - http://underscorejs.org/? Each of those are pretty simple and can build off each other - you'll learn how to deal with arrays, objects, functions, arguments, apply/call, this, etc. You could write your own tests or use their unit tests as well to get some practice with testing. I was planning on doing this myself at some point haha.

There's an annotated source for underscore: http://underscorejs.org/docs/underscore.html.

There's also just implementing data structures/algs: https://github.com/felipernb/algorithms.js

eltaco··on Random Tweet: See one random tweet at a time
This is similar to a project I did for my visual/data analytics class

http://twitterhealth.herokuapp.com

Gives you a tweet in the US for you to categorize as being related to veing sick or not. Kind of like crowd sourcing classification of sick tweets. It's pretty interesting just looking through the tweets..

TwitterHealth

http://i4.minus.com/ibmjeJLRAFCB0Q.png

Crowdsourcing the classification of tweets as sick related or not for my Data/Visual Analytics class. Classified tweets from users are sent to our machine learning alg.

Originally was supposed to show where and what ailments people were dealing with around the world but having only cities doesn't give that great of a visualization.

Using node, d3, cubism, redis.

App: http://twitterhealth.herokuapp.com Code: https://github.com/eltacodeldiablo/twitterhealth

eltaco··on What Twitter Really Looks Like
I made a visualization that shows the tweets for specific words and can account for population density (only US though): http://tweetpleth.herokuapp.com/
eltaco··on Tweetping, Twitter traffic in real time
I made a project that is similar - shows a bit more information except its only for the US and you need to search a specific word/hashtag. http://tweetpleth.herokuapp.com/
eltaco··on Show HN: Tweetpleth - Where are people tweeting?
Yeah i'l get on that soon. I'm using the location filter to only get tweets in the US. 'locations': ['-180','15','19','72']}
eltaco··on Show HN: Tweetpleth - Where are people tweeting?
A final project for a class I took at GT (CS 4460: Intro to Info Vis). Thought it was viable as a an actual website since its realtime, so I put it up using heroku's free service.
