Robert Mennell 7506499f8c Simplify the comparison for a weekend
Since a weekend is either `0` or `6` from `Date#getDay()`, using `X % 6 === 0` will return the right Boolean value and lead to less function calls or comparisons

isWeekend

Results in a boolean representation of a specific date.

Pass the specific date object firstly. Use Date.getDay() to check weekend based on the day being returned as 0 - 6 using a modulo operation then return a boolean.

const isWeekend = (t = new Date()) => {
  return t.getDay() % 6 === 0;
};
isWeekend(); // 2018-10-19 (if current date is 2018-10-18)
