WHY

Because https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions suggests doing the "curl pipe bash" anti-pattern, let's try to make that cleaner.

WHAT

Since containers are built from a definitive OS and Version we don't need the universality of that bash script.

HOW

If we examine closely, the https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x we see that it really only does 2 things for Debian:

1. Add [their public key][1] to apt's keychain via apt-key add

To build the extension, update the username/password and zip `background.js` and `manifest.json` in a single archive.

Integrating GitBook with JSDoc to Document Your Open Source Project

Introduction

Good documentation should include two distinct elements - a Guide and an API:

1. The Guide builds concepts, providing examples, etc.

Why we dropped Lerna from PouchDB

We dropped Lerna from our monorepo architecture in PouchDB 6.0.0. I got a question about this from @reconbot, so I thought I'd explain our reasoning.

First off, I don't want this post to be read as "Lerna sucks, don't use Lerna." We started out using Lerna, but eventually outgrew it because we wrote our own custom thing. Lerna is still a great idea if you're getting started with monorepos (monorepi?).

Backstory:

TypeScript and currying

In functional programming you often want to apply a function partly. A simple example is a function add. It would be nice if we could use add like:

var res2 = add(1, 3); // => 4

var add10To = add(10);
var res = add10To(5); // => 15

Better Jasmine Tests With this

On the Refinery29 Mobile Web Team, codenamed "Bicycle", all of our unit tests are written using Jasmine, an awesome BDD library written by Pivotal Labs. We recently switched how we set up data for tests from declaring and assigning to closures, to assigning properties to each test case's this object, and we've seen some awesome benefits from doing such.

The old way

Up until recently, a typical unit test for us looked something like this:

describe('views.Card', function() {
