The gist: by having a Promise adopt the state of a forever pending one, you can suspend its then handlers chain.

Promise.pending = Promise.race.bind(Promise, [])

let cancel

new Promise(function(fulfill, reject) {
  cancel = function() {fulfill(Promise.pending())}
  setTimeout(fulfill, 1000, 5)

Web fonts are pretty much all the rage. Using a CDN for font libraries, like TypeKit or Google Fonts, will be a great solution for many projects. For others, this is not an option. Especially when you are creating a custom icon library for your project.

Rails and the asset pipeline are great tools, but Rails has yet to get caught up in the custom web font craze.

As with all things Rails, there is more then one way to skin this cat. There is the recommended way, and then there are the other ways.

The recommended way

Here I will show how to update your Rails project so that you can use the asset pipeline appropriately and resource your files using the common Rails convention.

#Notes for getting docker-cartodb to run on a digitalocean droplet

As of 21 June 2016, the Dockerfile at sverhoeven/docker-cartodb is not up to date, and the build will fail.  It seems to fail at step 39, when it goes to create a user, but was not able to update it to get it working.  Hopefully someone else can get it going with the latest cartodb code.
`https://hub.docker.com/r/sverhoeven/cartodb/`

However, running `docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -p 8080:8080 -p 8181:8181 sverhoeven/cartodb` will pull a complete docker image that is a few months old.
Running this image will get you a container that expects to run at the domain `cartodb.localhost`, and per the installation instructions you are told to update your hosts file to point cartodb.localhost to the IP of your docker host.

I wanted to run this with a real domain, so here are some notes on the steps involved.
- run the image using `docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -p 8080:8080 -p 8181:8181 sverhoeven/cartodb`

To load MapPLUTO into carto, the best approach is to upload the five borough shapefiles together, then UNION ALL them together.

• Upload all five zipped borough shapefiles from Bytes of the Big Apple. Be sure to uncheck 'Allow Carto to guess column types" when uploading, or you'll get column type mismatches
• UNION ALL the tables together with the following query. We can't just SELECT * because we'd have duplicate cartodb_ids in the result set, and saving as a new table would fail.
