This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.

Most new PCs don't come with DVD drives anymore. So it can be a pain to install Windows on a new computer.

Luckily, Microsoft makes a tool that you can use to install Windows from a USB storage drive (or "thumbdrive" as they are often called).

But what if you don't have a second PC for setting up that USB storage drive in the first place?

In this tutorial we'll show you how you can set this up from a Mac.

Step 1: Download the Windows 10 ISO file

You can download the ISO file straight from Windows. That's right - everything we're going to do here is 100% legal and sanctioned by Microsoft.

	* object for sending via JSON to client-side frameworks.
	*
	* To use add a new object on your model describing what validation errors should be translated:

	* module.exports = {

	* type: 'string',

	// Safari, in Private Browsing Mode, looks like it supports localStorage but all calls to setItem
	// throw QuotaExceededError. We're going to detect this and just silently drop any calls to setItem
	// to avoid the entire page breaking, without having to do a check at each usage of Storage.
	if (typeof localStorage === 'object') {
	try {
	localStorage.setItem('localStorage', 1);
	localStorage.removeItem('localStorage');
	} catch (e) {
	Storage.prototype._setItem = Storage.prototype.setItem;
	Storage.prototype.setItem = function() {};
