Check out this Publisher’s Weekly review of Robert K. Elder’s two-fisted take on Hemingway in Comics. “Some of the comics riff on familiar aspects of the—already somewhat cartoonish—Hemingway persona (such as a Doonesbury strip that references his testy relationship with F. Scott Fitzgerald), while some are simply bizarre…” Read more… Find out more about Hemingway in Comics.

In this post I will talk about Events and Promise limits, trying to fill all gaps with a 498 bytes sized library called notify-js.

Update
The awesome Lie function got improved and became an official module (yet 30 lines of code thought). Its name is Dodgy, and it's tested and even more awesome!

Not today though, today is just fine

1. if we are in charge of creating the Promise, we are the only one that could possibly make it abortable and only if we want to, it's an opt in rather than a default or a "boring to write" subclass
2. it's widely agreed that cancellation should be rather synonymous of a rejection, there's no forever pending issue there, just a plain simple rejection
3. one of the Promise strength is its private scope callback, which is inevitably the only place where defining abortability would make sense. Take a request, a timer, an event handler defined inside that callback, where else would you provide the ability to explicitly abort and cleanup the behavior if not there?
4. being the callback the best pace to resolve, reject, and optionally to abort, that's also the very same place we want to be sure that if there was a reason to abort we can pass it along the rejection, so that we could simply ignore it in our optionally abort aware Promises, and yet drop out from any other in the chain whenever the rejection occurs or it's simply ignored
5. the moment we make the promise malleable from the outer world through a p.abort() ability, is also the very same moment we could just decide to resolve, or fully fail the promise via p.resolve(value) or p.reject(error)

var p = new Lie(function (resolve, reject, onAbort) {
  var timeout = setTimeout(resolve, 1000, 'OK');
  // invoking onAbort will explicit our intent to opt-in
  onAbort(function () {
    clearTimeout(timeout);
    return 'aborted'; // will be used as rejected error
                      // it could even be undefined
                      // so it's easier to distinguish
                      // between real errors and aborts
  });
});

p.then(
  console.log.bind(console),
  console.warn.bind(console)
).catch(
  console.error.bind(console)
);

var toTheOuterWorld = p.then(
  function (data) {return data},
  function (error) {return error}
);
// or even ...
var toTheOuterWorld = Promise.resolve(p);

// abortable promise
var cancelable = new Lie(function (r, e, a) {
  var t = setTimeout(r, 5000, 'all good');
  a(function () { clearTimeout(t); });
});

// testing purpose, will it resolve or not?
setTimeout(cancelable.reject, 1000, 'nope');
// and what if we abort before?
setTimeout(cancelable.abort, 750);



// generic promise, let's log what happens
var derived = cancelable.then(
  function (result) { console.log('resolved', result); },
  function (error)  { error ?
    console.warn('rejected', error) :
    console.log('ignoring the .abort() call');
  }
).catch(
  function (error)  { console.error('cought', error); }
);

// being just a Promise, no method will be exposed
console.log(
  derived.resolve,
  derived.reject,
  derived.abort
);

Lie.more = function more(lie) {
  function wrap(previous) {
    return function () {
      var l = previous.apply(lie, arguments);
      l.resolve = lie.resolve;  // optional bonus
      l.reject = lie.reject;    // optional bonus
      l.abort = lie.abort;
      return Lie.more(l);
    };
  }
  if (lie.abort) {
    lie.then = wrap(lie.then);
    lie.catch = wrap(lie.catch);
  }
  return lie;
};

var chainedLie = new Lie(function (res, rej, onAbort) {
  var t = setTimeout(res, 1000, 'OK');
  onAbort(function (why) {
    clearTimeout(t);
    return why;
  });
})
.then(
  console.log.bind(console),
  console.warn.bind(console)
)
.catch(
  console.error.bind(console)
);

// check this out
chainedLie.abort('because');

var justPromise = Promise.resolve(chainedLie);

These institutions are important. But they must change.

With the upcoming national election in Israel on March 2, the Law Library of Congress is holding a webinar from the Foreign and Comparative Law Webinar Series on “What You Need To Know About the Upcoming Israeli National Election.” The webinar will be held on February 27, 2020 at 10:00 am. To register to attend the webinar, use our Eventbrite link. 

The Foreign and Comparative Law Webinar Series of classes is designed to shed light on some of the foreign and comparative law issues researched by the foreign law experts at the Law Library of Congress.This entry in the series will address general principles of the Israeli government system, rules governing national election, the method of distribution in Knesset seats, government formation procedures, prime-ministerial qualifications and term limits and the legal implications of a Knesset Member’s indictment and immunity status on presidential discretion in assignment of government formation. Topics may be adjusted as warranted to address ongoing developments.

For more information on the webinar, please read our announcement blog post.
