Relatedly, I wanted to highlight that Dan Abramov is currently working on a refactor of ReactPerf [1] which will make the performance measurements more accurate.

Some examples of ethical behavior we expect from founders are:
...
- Not using misleading, illegal or dishonest sales tactics.

Does this mean Parker is no longer a YC Founder, if the allegations turn out to be true?
Great post! I found Fenwick trees particularly useful when I was implementing layout / view recycling. The problem is that you need to keep track of a large number of vertically stacked elements with dynamic & varying heights, and you need a way to efficiently get the prefix sum. Would be curious if anyone else has real life use cases of these.
Totally agree. See Facebook's messenger.com for a similar thing, done much better.
What about Ripple.js [1] [2], which Segment also released ~1 year ago? Is that dead now?

This is great. Can't wait for the actual release. One question I have is how GraphQL/Relay works for writing/modifying data on the server?
Chromium is already on Github. https://github.com/chromium
For me, the part of Flux that's difficult to understand is how server data flows into the cycle (left-hand side of the diagram). The Flux docs only recommends that server interactions should be done from the Action Creators. However, things are actually more complicated than that:
- how do you resolve server / client data conflicts?
- how do stores work with a RESTful API?
- how do you handle network failures, retries, etc?
At Quizlet, we designed a hybrid solution [1] with "syncers" that act as the gateway for network I/O. Syncers are responsible for taking view-level data (ViewModels) and exchanging them with the server (ServerModels). It works well with our REST API. Yahoo has also released their own thing called Fetchr [2] which is more tightly integrated to stores.
I'm curious to see how other people are approaching this problem.
I'd like to see scoping added so it's possible to easily switch keyboard bindings based on the feature/context.
https://github.com/madrobby/keymaster does an OK job with this, and too bad it's not being actively maintained.
Any recommendations for software to manage workspaces on OS X?
MIT's distributed systems class is also taught in Go - http://css.csail.mit.edu/6.824/2014/schedule.html
Here's an open source alternative: https://github.com/SelfControlApp/selfcontrol/
Point #2 is especially spot on. Right now TransitionGroup clones every child [1] to preserve children for unmounting, but it's incredibly inefficient, especially if you have thousands of elements. Not to mention, as a side-effect, it requires wrappers to preserve refs. [2]

Can we now use Stripe + Apple Pay to circumvent 30% revenue cut?
The page width awkwardly jumps when toggling between unified and split diff. Is this a glitch, or intentional?
Yes, a chain of actions (for example, a sequence of AJAX requests that need to be fired)
It's great to see Facebook releasing code for Flux. Hope to see more in the future. Here are some other implementations of Flux for anyone who's interested: https://github.com/BinaryMuse/fluxxor https://github.com/jmreidy/fluxy https://github.com/yahoo/flux-example
We recently adopted this architecture for a medium-scale project. The unidirectional data flow has greatly reduced code complexity for us. We're still not satisfied with our server syncing strategy. Seems like actions are the best place to sync data, but how do you deal with interdependent actions?
In China, it's called "circle a" (圈a), "flowery a" (花a), or "little mouse" (小老鼠). In Taiwan, it's most commonly called "little mouse"
It seems like they're detecting browser user agent (and possibly IP)
How does this work in the case of namespace collision? Will we have squatters on the uri schemes?
I think doing all-hands support in a way that's efficient (not taking too much out of engineer's time) and scalable requires a well-designed system to support it. Quizlet, where I've worked before, does a good job of this. See: http://quizlet.com/inside-quizlet/quizlets-incredible-feedba...
Relevant: Facebook migrated from git to hg awhile back.
Here's a blog post on how they are scaling hg for their monolithic repos https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-merc...
Looks awesome! Does this work with graphing (e.g. networkx) as well?

Love the contact page [1] of this website. What are some other effective filters?
Very cool. However, no audio for folks outside U.S. (due to Rdio). Would be nice to have a small warning if this is this case, so users aren't left wondering if something is broken.
Took me awhile to figure out this is U.S. only currently. I was confused for ten minutes trying to figure out where the "Add to Cart" option is, until I VPN'd in.
Besides Apple, I see Readmill [1] as another serious competitor. It provides the social integration on top of an ebook reader. However it's lacking in its catalog selection.
I wonder what this means for http://filepicker.io It's validation of the market but they're not part of the deal.
