node-tar corner case

These are hexdumps of the tarball added in isaacs/node-tar#187

  • gnu-tar from gtar -cf ...
  • gnu-posix-tar from gtar --posix -cf ...
  • bsd-tar from bsdtar -cf ...

edit: I've added additional line breaks at the 512 byte boundaries to make it easier to see the tar framing.

Promises to async/await
// original Promise-only version. I try to write my functions to be pure

return db.users
.hsetnx(id, 'created_at', user.created_at.toJSON())

JS bind operator

Idea:

A simple shorthand for foo.bar.bind(foo, ...) to make it nicer to work with partial function application.

// shorthand
function sillyClone(input) {
  var acc = [];
  input.forEach(acc.push&());
  return acc;
