Using async.waterfall to synchronize aggregation of results when using promises
/*
Small demo to show chaining of API calls. We're using these APIs:
https://weathers.co for current weather in 3 cities, and
https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=<term> to search GitHub repos for
the 'hottest' city. For example, we'll grab weather for 3 cities, pick the hottest one,
