How to share a folder with a docker container on OSX

Mounting shared folders between OSX and the docker container is tricky due to the intermediate boot2docker VM. You can't use the usual docker -v option as the docker server knows nothing about the OSX filesystem - it can only mount folders from the boot2docker filesystem. Fortunately, you can work around this using SSHFS.

A quick overview of the node.js streams interface with basic examples.

This is based on @brycebaril's presentation, Node.js Streams2 Demystified

Overview

Streams are a first-class construct in Node.js for handling data.

Think of them as as lazy evaluation applied to data.

Install with Homebrew

brew install mongodb

Set up launchctl to auto start mongod

$ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mongodb/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

/usr/local/opt/mongodb/ is a symlink to /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/x.y.z (e.g., 2.4.9)
