I was looking at an Ecosa Sleep ad on facebook a few months ago and considered purchasing one of their mattresses, until I read some of their comments.

They claim their mattresses are better because of reduced EMF radiation (compared to traditional mattresses with springs) and when i called them out on their pseudo-science bs I got a nasty reply telling me I was wrong and to do some research!

I did the same thing. I'd suggest that a double-tap/click on the cropped area should confirm the crop.. At least that was my first instinct.

The official name is Node.js. That repo is the combined source of Node.js 0.12 and io.js master and future releases will be coming from there.

I think the next major release will be "Node.js v4.0.0"

Just getting started here and wondering if there's a way to choose the region all this stuff is being installed to?

Can apps be launched in specific regions?

edit: Looks like it defaults to us-east-1. I'd much prefer to use Sydney due to the latency here in AU :)

I love Candy Japan but do have a couple of suggestions:

- The email you send out is great, but it often arrives well after I have received the package. One arrived a couple of days ago and I really want to wait on the email, but my willpower is usually no match for (possibly) delicious candy :/

- The email always goes to spam. Maybe check your DKIM settings or contact MailChimp? Or maybe it's just me? (Gmail / Google Apps)

- A small card with the name/photo/short description of each item would be great. If they were well designed and of decent quality I'd even collect them!

I've been using something similar for a while: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/github-linker/jlma...

Pro tip: Add an 'npm' shortcut to your chrome address bar. Link it to http://ghub.io/%s and 'npm <packagename>' will take you directly to the repo.

You can also do this in the shell with 'npm repo <packagename>'

Nice list of words.

Off topic: This is the first I've seen of BitNami and it looks great, especially the cloud hosting app. I'd switch from our current system (mainly AWS tools and shell scripts for app deployment) in a heartbeat but there's no way I can justify $599/mo for 10-15 servers. I'm surprised you don't use a PAYG pricing model like most of the IaaS providers out there..

I did this for a while, it's easier to spot missing commas and allows you to comment out lines (besides the first line) but I switched back because it was annoying to align :/
