Well, specialists have long hypothesized that there is a huge difference between "heavy drinkers" (usually in their teens/20s and who quit) and "alcoholics". Heavy drinkers usually overimbibe as part of their socia

I have the same problem and also was tested with "normal for age" hearing. But I know that most people can hear conversations in busy restaurants, loud cars, etc. What could this thing be? ENT was very unhelpful.

Thanks, I didn't pick that up, although I often do that on my SSH config. For some reason, "block root access" in lieu of "block root log-in" just didn't register for me as referring to SSH config. Thank you

More specifically: in the next major Node.js release (v7.0.0), ES6 modules will be implemented. That's what I was trying to say.

Are you comfortable using a scripting language like Python, Ruby, or Bash, and a shortcut-driven text editor like Vim or eMacs? Perhaps because I'm skilled at Vim, using Python and Vim is unquestionably quicker for me than using a mous

Agreed. I use ES6 modules regularly (via Babel compiled to CommonJS, and also Rollup). Unlike CommonJS, ES6 modules have the advantage (and disadvantage) of being statically resolved, which permits tree-shaking (but denies dynamic resolut

node.js doesn't just resemble JavaScript, it is JavaScript. Like ES5 standard JavaScript, and (very soon) ES6 standard JS as well. It uses the V8 JS engine. The only non-standard features of Node.js has been the module system (Comm

OK, fair enough. But that's a huge effort to duplicate an app like this with a server-side version, and much less user-friendly as well.

Cool project, well done. I'd suggest that instead of instructing users to clone your Github project and then detailing how to adapt the RPi code to the CHIP computer, rather create a Github branch that has the CHIP-specific diffs, and
