Hey, this looks really fantastic, it solves a real problem for UK drivers and I think you'll be fantastically successful. However, I couldn't find any information about who's behind the site, and I wonder about the mechanism

The fact that your tests are flaky at all means that the integration tests have revealed a bug that you need to fix. The tests have done their job. The fact that people aren't looking at the results speaks to a larger cultural issue.

inglor is a contributor to Bluebird, so I'd guess he'd say Bluebird. Bluebird is the much faster option and has a lot more features, if you're using babel (and a recent node/io.js) you can transpile async/await to b

Well it's pretty straightforward, if turnaround time is only 10 minutes and your competitors take an hour then you can simply make more flights per aircraft per day than them. This is amplified when your flights are short distance dome

Possibly diet. Obviously it's anecdotal but all of the Dutch people I know consume far more dairy products than those from the UK. Edit: Turns out the Dutch are the third biggest consumers of milk per capita in the world[0], looking at

I see this line of thinking a lot and I think it's a mistake. Are classes in other languages consistent with each other? Clearly not, so why is this distinction made here? ES6 classes ARE classes, it's not just sugar, that is what

Some people build "graph databases" on top of storage backends that are ill suited for such workloads. e.g you can build a "graph database" (or K/V store) on top of MySQL, but the performance is terrible - http:&#x

OrientDB fails to deliver on its promises. It has a load of features but they are poorly thought out and/or broken. ArangoDB is OrientDB done right, but it's a lot younger. If you're considering using either, you owe it to yo
