Mindfulness is just a tool to train the mind. What you use that for is up to you. Zen employs mindfulness as well as other tools for spiritual cultivation.

According to the warrant[1] it seems to be a criminal case. Anyway, you should read up on the BSA copyright raids. Fortunately they seem to have fallen out of fashion. https://mobile.twitter.com/AntNesterov/status/

I have a subscription to Focus@Will and listen to either their “Focus Spa” or “Ambient” channels and don’t like the others. But for me it really does help me focus on a day when my head’s all over the place.

Apparently some company called "Lynwood Investments CY Ltd" has bought the rights for copyright enforcement from Rambler Group - I guess this is classed as "copyright trolling"? Looking at the search warrant[1] the claim

Wow that is ... beautiful. :)) And if the individual functions have the custom error logic inside then a simple ".error(callback)" at the end it will just work.

I agree with you now that "async/await" is available (as I said in my article that I originally linked to). And thank you for providing a second use case to the one I listed in the article - it paid for all the time I wasted

Yes this is true, as long as your error handling is the same for all calls (not necessarily the case, especially if logging is involved). I don't actually have a problem with the callback version because it is nice and explicit. But ag

And your error handling? ;) fetch((err, res) => { if (err) { // yay - error handling! :) } const myJson = res.json(); // do stuff } What's so unreadable about this? Even if it is 4

> the async-await code is much easier to read, write, and validate. With the exception of necessarily serial code that I referred to, this statement is not true in my experience. Your "legible" example is only legible because y

I appreciate that the author is trying to illustrate something with an intentionally contrived example, but there is really no need for "await" in his "chain()" function: function chain () { (function loop (i) {

OK, after a bit more reading I now understand the difference, thank you for your patience. But it remains true that in Javascript you can not pass an object by value, because the language does not permit creating copies of objects. You can
