To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

suprememoocow

function reopenTransportOnHupSignal(fileTransport) {
  process.on('SIGHUP', function() {
    var fullname = path.join(fileTransport.dirname, fileTransport._getFile(false));

    function reopen() {
      if (fileTransport._stream) {
        fileTransport._stream.end();
        fileTransport._stream.destroySoon();
      }

// This script will boot app.js with the number of workers
// specified in WORKER_COUNT.
//
// The master will respond to SIGHUP, which will trigger
// restarting all the workers and reloading the app.

var cluster = require('cluster');
var workerCount = process.env.WORKER_COUNT || 2;

// Defines what each worker needs to run

If you encounter errors like this configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables, try this command on Terminal:

sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.10.xctoolchain

You should change XcodeDefault.xctoolchain and OSX10.10.xctoolchain tu suit your case.

Moving to ES6 from CoffeeScript

I fell in love with CoffeeScript a couple of years ago. Javascript has always seemed something of an interesting curiosity to me and I was happy to see the meteoric rise of Node.js, but coming from a background of Python I really preferred a cleaner syntax.

In any fast moving community it is inevitable that things will change, and so today we see a big shift toward ES6, the new version of Javascript. It incorporates a handful of the nicer features from CoffeeScript and is usable today through tools like Babel. Here are some of my thoughts and issues on moving away from CoffeeScript in favor of ES6.

While reading I suggest keeping open a tab to Babel's learning ES6 page. The examples there are great.

Punctuation

Holy punctuation, Batman! Say goodbye to your whitespace and hello to parenthesis, curly braces, and semicolons again. Even with the advanced ES6 syntax you'll find yourself writing a lot more punctuatio
