# UPDATE for 10.10.4+: please consider this patch obsolete, as apple provides a tool called "trimforce" to enable trim support for 3rd party SSDs
# just run "sudo trimforce enable" to activate the trim support from now on!
#
# Original version by Grant Parnell is offline (http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/)
# Update July 2014: no longer offline, see https://digitaldj.net/blog/2011/11/17/trim-enabler-for-os-x-lion-mountain-lion-mavericks/

# Looks for "Apple" string in HD kext, changes it to a wildcard match for anything

// "Extend" the EventEmitter like this:

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter;

EventEmitter.prototype.once = function(events, handler){
	// no events, get out!
	if(! events)
		return; 

	// Ugly, but helps getting the rest of the function

Hi Donald (and Martin),

Thanks for pinging me; it's nice to know Typesafe is keeping tabs on this, and I
appreciate the tone. This is a Yegge-long response, but given that you and
Martin are the two people best-situated to do anything about this, I'd rather
err on the side of giving you too much to think about. I realize I'm being very
critical of something in which you've invested a great deal (both financially

Sessions and Conversations

HTTP is a stateless protocol. Sessions allow us to chain multiple requests together into a conversation between client and server.

Sessions should be an option of last resort. If there's no where else that the data can possibly go to achieve the desired functionality, only then should it be stored in the session. Sessions can be vulnerable to security threats from third parties, malicious users, and can cause scaling problems.

That doesn't mean we can't use sessions, but we should only use them where necessary.

Adding, Accessing, and Removing Data

var mongoose = require('./index')
  , TempSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
      salutation: {type: String, enum: ['Mr.', 'Mrs.', 'Ms.']}
    }); 

var Temp = mongoose.model('Temp', TempSchema);

console.log(Temp.schema.path('salutation').enumValues);
var temp = new Temp();
console.log(temp.schema.path('salutation').enumValues);
