There's literature from C# about abortion/cancelation of promises with throwing a special kind of errors turned out to be a mess.

For this reason, the ongoing rationale about cancelable  promises (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-cancelable-promises) focuses on cancel tokens, a new throwable class and even a new clause for `try`.

That being said, the title of the news and the gist is deceptive: requests aren't actually aborted, only ignored. The client will eventually get a response from the server.

Nevermind those clumsy developers that included a built-in module in their package.json, but how could they have allowed a package name "fs" in the first place?
I am baffled that they don't have a list of reserved package names.

It's also quite biased to a Chinese point of view.

"Variable name validation can get tricky"

Huh, maybe, but the essential point is: what did you do to put yourself in the need of such non-trivial validation, and why?
Unless you're writing a Javascript minifier, that is.

The author should really, really care more about the grammar in their articles, and the overall readability.

Most answers are quite tricky.
Some are quite good because you really need your Javascript knowledge, even bleeding-edge features.
Others require to deeply know what's under the hood of Javascript engines, i.e. dig down into the specs. I'm not really fond of those.
But a nice distraction anyway.

Nice, it's always better when there's no need for harsh measures.

Ok, three times and they still don't get that this aggregator is for English only news.
Time to ban?

This first part basically consists in setting up a development environment on Windows. Not a single line of JavaScript...

Also, I find the choice of Scoop as a package installer quite unusual, when alternatives like Chocolatey and NuGet are much more en vogue. But well, I guess avoiding a monoculture is good.

On the other hand, ConEmu is nice although I would have used Cmder (which is a wrapper for ConEmu).

What I'd *never* do is writing "jQuery" in all caps.

Uh, it also says "focused on JavaScript development, HTML5, and front-end news". That's a bit confusing.

Anyway, looks like it's a script quite web-development centric to me. In particular, it installs a decent node environment.
