Webpack plugin and CLI utility that represents bundle content as convenient interactive zoomable treemap
Wow, this is super cool! Webpack is a great tool, but sometimes when your javascript has been bundled it’s nice to know what’s in it and why it is the size it is. This is a really nice tool for exploring your bundled dependencies.
This talk is about using simple values (as opposed to complex objects) not just for holding data, but also as the boundaries between components and subsystems. It moves through many topics: functional programming; mutability’s relationship to OO; isolated unit testing with and without test doubles; and concurrency
Gary is an engaging speaker and this talk is one I keep coming back to again and again.
One thing that causes even more confusion than Flux is the difference between Flux and Redux, a pattern that was inspired by Flux. In this article I’ll explain the differences between the two.
A super-accessable introduciton to Redux, with lots of pictures. This was published last year, but I still love how Lin Clark did this. (bonus four-part series on Relay too)
As seen on TV! What if you could increase the resolution of your photos using technology from CSI laboratories? Thanks to deep learning and #NeuralEnhance, it’s now possible to train a neural network to zoom in to your images at 2x or even 4x. You’ll get even better results by increasing the number of neurons or training with a dataset similar to your low resolution image.
I remember the scene from Blade Runner with Deckard “enhancing” a low quality photo to reveal details not visible in the original, so literally, science-ficiton in 1984. Cue ahead a couple of decades and I would have been complaining about the bullshit they pull in shows like CSI (if you could have got me to watch it) when it comes to this stuff. Now it’s real, and downloadable from Github, and available in a docker image…
When you’re first starting out, your project probably doesn’t need to be isomorphic. You don’t need bundle splitting, you don’t need internationalization support or offline-first, and you don’t need advanced routing. In fact, you probably don’t need Redux at all!
Excellent advice – start simple and then add the things you need. Not every app needs every go-to library.
