Avoiding Accidental Complexity When Structuring Your App State
Flux implementations like Redux encourage us to think explicitly about our app state and spend time modeling it. It turns out that this isn’t a trivial task. It’s a classic example of chaos theory, where a seemingly harmless flutter of wings in the wrong direction can cause a hurricane of accidental complexity later on.

RethinkDB is shutting down
Today I have sad news to share. After more than seven years of development, the company behind RethinkDB is shutting down. We worked very hard to make RethinkDB successful, but in spite of all our efforts we were ultimately unable to build a sustainable business. There is a lot of information to unpack – over the next few months, I’ll write about lessons learned so the startup community can benefit from our mistakes.
This is a bummer. I really liked RethinkDB a lot.

A fuzzy search / highlight that specialize for programmer text editor. It tries to provide intuitive result by recognizing patterns that people use while searching.
Looks like a very useful library with some well thought out rules for scoring matches based on match run length, character scoring, and preventing accidental acronym detection.
