caseywebdevon Keyboard Service Program for MacBook and MacBook Pro

I've had my topcase replaced and the problems just came back months later. Does anyone know if they have a solution to this problem or is their plan to just have me ship my machine to them every six months and avoid the class action?

caseywebdevon Planck.js – JavaScript rewrite of Box2D physics library

One advantage is that the planck [1] is over 4x smaller than the emscripten build [2].

caseywebdevon Planck.js – JavaScript rewrite of Box2D physics library

I love that you kept the tried and true Box2D API as that'll make porting what I'm working on much easier. I've been using the emscripten version [1] but the automatic port from C++ makes the JS API quite painful at times, especially with the manual memory management that's required to prevent leaks. Thanks for doing this!

caseywebdevon What the Flux?

> such as changing data in sibling components

[Cursors] can help a lot with this problem. As far as sibling/child components know, they own the state, but they're really using immutability helpers to update a larger encompassing state object.

caseywebdevon What the Flux?

I'm a fan of [superagent] for AJAX. The React lib is big, but its declarative nature has lead to fewer and easier-to-diagnose bugs for us, which is ultimately a win for the end user. I've been using it exclusively on new projects for months now and I'm a Backbone.js core contributor ;)

caseywebdevon React-cursor: a JavaScript implementation of the Cursor concept first seen in Om

As of a few weeks ago my Cursors implementation correctly `shouldComponentUpdate`s path changes as well as value changes ;)

caseywebdevon React-cursor: a JavaScript implementation of the Cursor concept first seen in Om

I went for a minimalist implementation that leverages the work done in React's Immutability Helpers (http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/update.html). The API allows you to use the same `this.state.xxx` you're used to which I find nice.

caseywebdevon Show HN: Gunoki – Trainyard-and-2048-inspired Puzzle Game for iOS and Android

Unfortunately it looks like screenshots can't be edited (or even rearranged) until a new app binary has been submitted. I'll make this change when I get some new levels cooked up.

That's a good point, makes me wonder if the main menu screenshot is even worth showing.
