Transportation is a big problem, especially when it comes to commuting from a suburb to a city. I would love to have more options outside of aging and overcrowded mass transit. Are there solutions to this problem? Are there any killer carpool apps?
I use Lambda in production as a replacement for a cron server. So far, all it does is keep my cache warm. So far, no complaints. It was actually TJ Holowaychuk's blog posts on his use of Lambda that got me to give it a shot.

On a related note, Drupal is dead to me.

Re:Hammer.js: Add touch gestures to your page on Friday June 05, 2015 @05:15AM (#9664573)
Hammer.js is for use on touch screens, not trackpads. I found the demo on the page to be a bit vague, too, but a much better demo in the following Codepen convinced me to use it. Plus, it has a much lighter footprint than Interact.js.

On a non-touch screen, hold shift while dragging the green box to emulate pinch and rotate gestures.

The naming, alone, was enough for me to chuckle and give the link a click.

+1 for generators. As a former PHP developer, I jumped into using generators that return promises in io.js (as well as es6 classes), and the code reads very much like PHP code, except all of the i/o is now asynchronous.
