You're Missing the Point of Promises

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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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.

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs

Here's another chaining example on using q.js. This doesn't have any error handling, as I just want to demonstrate the chaining concept. Please read the comments carefully, as I start out with a non-q example, to show the order of flow. Please post comments if there's anything that isn't clear and I'll try to revise it as needed.

/*===========
We want to call these three functions in sequence, one after the other:
First we want to call one, which initiates an ajax call. Once that
ajax call is complete, we want to call two. Once two's ajax call is
complete, we want to call three.
BUT, we don't want to just call our three functions in sequence, as this quick

Automounting NFS share in OS X into /Volumes

I have spent quite a bit of time figuring out automounts of NFS shares in OS X...

Somewhere along the line, Apple decided allowing mounts directly into /Volumes should not be possible:

/etc/auto_master (see last line):

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service
