Effective transpiling of ES6

After publishing my article on ECMAScript 6, some have reached out to ask how I exactly I make it all work.

I refrained from including these details on the original post because they're subject to immiment obsoletion. These tools are changing and evolving quickly, and some of these instructions are likely to become outdated in the coming months or even weeks.

The main tool

When evaluating the available transpilers, I decided to use 6to5, which has recently been renamed to Babel. I chose it based on:

Linux Backup Solutions

I've been looking for the best Linux backup system, and also reading lots of HN comments.

Instead of putting pros and cons of every backup system I'll just list some deal-breakers which would disqualify them.

Also I would like that you, the HN community, would add more deal breakers for these or other backup systems if you know some more and at the same time, if you have data to disprove some of the deal-breakers listed here (benchmarks, info about something being true for older releases but is fixed on newer releases), please share it so that I can edit this list accordingly.

It has a lot of management overhead and that's a problem if you don't have time for a full time backup administrator.

Overview and Goals

React_On_Rails is an awesome library that integrates React + Rails + Webpack, with boilerplate to quickly get you up and running on a new project. React-Refetch is also another great library that makes reading and writing data to the server in React seamless. My goal here is to develop an architecture leveraging these two libraries that accomplishes three goals:

Simple
Easy to maintain
Scalable

To accomplish this, our architecture will leverage React-Refetch and Rails routing to expose each component to the data needed on each given page, using our server data as the single source of truth, therefore minimizing or, idealy, completely removing our use of state to modify data on many pages. This reduces the fragile nature of offloading a batch of data to one large root component and dispersing it among nested sub-components. This also allows us to always have a 1-to-1 relationship betwee

JWT Auth + Refresh Tokens in Rails

This is just some code I recently used in my development application in order to add token-based authentication for my api-only rails app. The api-client was to be consumed by a mobile application, so I needed an authentication solution that would keep the user logged in indefinetly and the only way to do this was either using refresh tokens or sliding sessions.

I also needed a way to both blacklist and whitelist tokens based on a unique identifier (jti)

Before trying it out DIY, I considered using:

	[Unit]
	Description=Errbit Unicorn Server
	Requires=mongodb.service
	After=mongodb.service network.target

	[Service]
	# Change here: user, group and directory to errbit root
	User=errbit
	Group=errbit
	WorkingDirectory=/var/www/apps/errbit

	var gulp = require('gulp');
	var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');
	var source = require('vinyl-source-stream');
	var buffer = require('vinyl-buffer');
	var browserify = require('browserify');
	var watchify = require('watchify');
	var babel = require('babelify');

	function compile(watch) {
	var bundler = watchify(browserify('./src/index.js', { debug: true }).transform(babel));

	import _ from 'underscore';
	import fetch from 'isomorphic-fetch'

	class API {
	getCSRFToken() {
	return _.find(document.getElementsByTagName('meta'), (meta) => {
	return meta.name === 'csrf-token'
	}).content
	}
