Prizes of War Ships

British naval planners worried that French and Russian warships might come under German control during the First World War; the Germans thought the British might do the same but fretted much less about the possibility. You can explore both possibilities with our new Great War at Sea: Prizes of War, a downloadable supplement that's available right now -- no waiting, no pre-orders, no standing by the mailbox. Today we look at the toys contained within. Order and it downloads at light speed!

Creating a JavaScript promise from scratch, Part 7: Unhandled rejection tracking

When promises were introduced in ECMAScript 2015, they had an interesting flaw: if a promise didn’t have a rejection handler and was later rejected, you would have no idea. The rejection silently occurred behind the scenes and, therefore, could easily be missed. The best practice of always attaching rejection handlers to promises emerged due to...
