How to Start Listening to "Hamilton"

An admittedly weird but functional way to get into an extraordinary musical.

By Merlin Mann
December 15, 2016.

Proviso: This show is long and weird and overhyped and it is not for everyone. If you're not already a fan, you're certainly sick of hearing about it. Sorry. But if you maybe are interested, hey, here's a sane and scalable (if unorthodox and opinionated) way to decide if Hamilton is right for you.

Method: I suggest approaching Hamilton in something like concentric circles. The show definitely benefits from multiple listenings, but those listenings needn't be all the way through every time. Give the songs a chance; they're building something.

Node.js Deployment

Steps to deploy a Node.js app to DigitalOcean using PM2, NGINX as a reverse proxy and an SSL from LetsEncrypt

1. Sign up for Digital Ocean

If you use the referal link below, you get $10 free (1 or 2 months) https://m.do.co/c/5424d440c63a

2. Create a droplet and log in via ssh

I will be using the root user, but would suggest creating a new user

//  Remove any duplicates from an array of primitives.
const unique = [...new Set(arr)]

// Sleep in async functions. Use: await sleep(2000).
const sleep = (ms) => (new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms)));
// or
const sleep = util.promisify(setTimeout);
