I was looking at an Ecosa Sleep ad on facebook a few months ago and considered purchasing one of their mattresses, until I read some of their comments.

They claim their mattresses are better because of reduced EMF radiation (compared to traditional mattresses with springs) and when i called them out on their pseudo-science bs I got a nasty reply telling me I was wrong and to do some research!


I did the same thing. I'd suggest that a double-tap/click on the cropped area should confirm the crop.. At least that was my first instinct.


Confirm the cropping by double-click is supported now. Thanks.


The official name is Node.js. That repo is the combined source of Node.js 0.12 and io.js master and future releases will be coming from there.

I think the next major release will be "Node.js v4.0.0"


Just getting started here and wondering if there's a way to choose the region all this stuff is being installed to?

Can apps be launched in specific regions?

edit: Looks like it defaults to us-east-1. I'd much prefer to use Sydney due to the latency here in AU :)


Correct. It does default to us-east-1. The main reason is that we are using some fairly new AWS services that aren't launched in all regions, but we do want to and expect to expand to more regions.


Looks like it's party day at Telecom Malaysia. https://twitter.com/TMCorp/status/609167065300271104


They added the route at 16:44 local KL time on a friday afternoon. The network team started partying early? :)


The bumiputra probably shouldn't schedule any deployment for Friday. b^) Then again GLBX probably should know that too.


Malaysia is an Islamic country, so Friday is the equivalent of the American Saturday to them, i.e. Friday is the first day of the Weekend, and Sunday is a normal workday.


I'm an American living in KL. Malaysia follows the Monday through Friday work week. The Twitter message was posted in the AM and this event didn't occur until the evening.


I love Candy Japan but do have a couple of suggestions:

- The email you send out is great, but it often arrives well after I have received the package. One arrived a couple of days ago and I really want to wait on the email, but my willpower is usually no match for (possibly) delicious candy :/

- The email always goes to spam. Maybe check your DKIM settings or contact MailChimp? Or maybe it's just me? (Gmail / Google Apps)

- A small card with the name/photo/short description of each item would be great. If they were well designed and of decent quality I'd even collect them!


I backed a project on Kickstarter back in July '04 called BloomSky. It's a connected smart weather station with a sky facing camera. They haven't shipped yet but it looks pretty good!

Did you really mean 'July 2004' or is that a typo?


Kickstarter launched in 2009, so it's a typo.


I've been using something similar for a while: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/github-linker/jlma...

Pro tip: Add an 'npm' shortcut to your chrome address bar. Link it to http://ghub.io/%s and 'npm <packagename>' will take you directly to the repo.

You can also do this in the shell with 'npm repo <packagename>'


Oh nice! I had no idea this problem was already solved. I'm using ghub.io in the background as well.

Also it seems that I learn a new `npm` CLI command every few days!


same with `npm home <pkg name>`


I've had to train myself to use the URL bar instead. I have a 'gh' search keyword pointing to http://github.com/search?q=%s


Nice list of words.
