Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• A Turkish translation can be found here, contributed by agyild.
• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Debugging Functional

What's the problem

When working with ramda or lodash-fp, one may run into some rather cryptic error messages. When trying to console.log a function we're presented with the guts of some internal curry or compose implementation that tells us nothing. At Loop/Recur we enjoy working with Functional JavaScript so I'd like to see this improve.

This post will demonstrate a simple solution that can go a long way to enhance the debugging experience in functional JavaScript applications.

Twitter DM + OTR: A quick and dirty tutorial

With the recent removal of the 140-character limit in Direct Messages by Twitter, DM's have now become a much more useful platform for communicating between individuals and groups. Sadly, DM's are still sent in plaintext between users and Twitter has no plans currently on encrypting these messages, at least as of August 2015. Since these are stored in plaintext at rest, an adversary can see the content of the message you are sending, which the two parties might not wish to happen. Fortunately as a few applications with basic Twitter support which also have excellent support for OTR, all hope isn't lo

Moving to ES6 from CoffeeScript

I fell in love with CoffeeScript a couple of years ago. Javascript has always seemed something of an interesting curiosity to me and I was happy to see the meteoric rise of Node.js, but coming from a background of Python I really preferred a cleaner syntax.

In any fast moving community it is inevitable that things will change, and so today we see a big shift toward ES6, the new version of Javascript. It incorporates a handful of the nicer features from CoffeeScript and is usable today through tools like Babel. Here are some of my thoughts and issues on moving away from CoffeeScript in favor of ES6.

While reading I suggest keeping open a tab to Babel's learning ES6 page. The examples there are great.

Punctuation

Holy punctuation, Batman! Say goodbye to your whitespace and hello to parenthesis, curly braces, and semicolons again. Even with the advanced ES6 syntax you'll find yourself writing a lot more punctuatio

Effective transpiling of ES6

After publishing my article on ECMAScript 6, some have reached out to ask how I exactly I make it all work.

I refrained from including these details on the original post because they're subject to immiment obsoletion. These tools are changing and evolving quickly, and some of these instructions are likely to become outdated in the coming months or even weeks.

The main tool

When evaluating the available transpilers, I decided to use 6to5, which has recently been renamed to Babel. I chose it based on:
