Mailgun sounds like a really good fit for me. I'm running a couchdb server, and I want to set it up to POST to my DB. Dump straight into my document store, life is good. I did a quick try at it and ran into a 415 from couchdb, which means mailgun didn't send json. Is there a way to configure a route to do that? If not, I'll have to write a custom _update handler.

Hey pfraze, we do not have a json option for Routes.

$ curl https://install.meteor.com | sh I really wish people would stop giving instructions like this. Despite all the focus on web security and sandboxing, we continue to instruct people to run arbitrary code on their user account. People should at least give any shell script they download from the internet a cursory look to see if it's doing what it should be doing instead of blindly executing the response from an H…

Meteor dev here.. We actually think this is more secure, or at least does more to raise awareness about security! We want people to BE AWARE that they're running arbitrary code, secured only by the certificate authorities in their local curl install. Just about every other way of installing software ends up letting the remote run arbitrary code on your machine. The disadvantage of the other approaches is that you don…

[meteor dev] This is on us. The docs don't make this point clearly enough. It's also the single most voted for thing on the Meteor 1.0 roadmap: https://trello.com/card/patterns-for-writing-larger-modular-... JS files in the 'server' directory (or any path with a 'server' component') are not sent to the client. Everything else is. Putting code inside an `if (Meteor.isServer)` block doesn't keep it from the client. Now…

    var falafel = require('falafel');
    var fs = require('fs');
    var src = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/src.js', 'utf8');
     
    var output = falafel(src, function (node) {
        if (node.type === 'IfStatement'
        && node.test.type === 'MemberExpression'
        && node.test.object.name === 'Meteor'
        && node.test.property.name === 'isServer') {
            node.update('');
        }
    });
    console.log(output);

    if (Meteor.isClient) {
        console.log("I'm the client!");
    }
    
    if (Meteor.isServer) {
        console.log("I'm the server!");
    }

    if (Meteor.isClient) {
        console.log("I'm the client!");
    }

This kind of static analysis is really easy to do with falafel: https://gist.github.com/substack/4735826 Program: var falafel = require('falafel'); var fs = require('fs'); var src = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/src.js', 'utf8'); var output = falafel(src, function (node) { if (node.type === 'IfStatement' && node.test.type === 'MemberExpression' && node.test.object.name === 'Meteor' && node.test.property.name === 'isS…

I think the safest way would be for you to buy a new 13" Macbook Air, install Meteor, and deliver it to me in person. That way I know its legit.
