Using RSVP for multiple ajax promises

So i was working on a bug in my project the other day wherein the requirement so we had to make multiple ajax calls to our backend and then once when “all were done” we had to trigger the success callback, even if any one of the calls fails we do not trigger the success callback. And the asynchronus nature of the the ajax calls make it more difficult.

So to solve this problem we had a count variable with a promise, with every callback we were incrementing the callback and then when the count was equal to the number of calls then we would resolve the deffered object which would fire the success callback. This approach worked but was difficult to understand and debug.

To simplify this a bit we used the RSVP which was bundled with the ember source. so instead of maintaining the count and then manually resolving the promise we used the Ember.RSVP.all(<array to observe>, function(){ console.log(“success callback”)})
so it resolves the success callback once all the promises which are present in the array are resolved. So it makes it simple for someone to comprehend the solution. Though we could have written a similar thing , but why solve a problem which has already been solved before ;-)

Fractals and Mandelbrot Set

While mathematics is in itself quite interesting and forms the basis of any modern day research, be it computational biology, machine learning or building complex structure, it can be quite a challenge to decide where to start. That is why i decided to explore Fractals, thinking of it as a bridge between the nature and science. It brings in some really fascinating concepts which should be good enough for me as a gateway go deeper. Fractals are in simple language never ending patterns which keep on repeating without an end, because fractals are never ending they have an infinite perimeter but finite area. Since the patterns repeats indefinitely but if you draw a circle around the peremeter the area will remain finite. It is like adding 1+0.1+0.01+0.001 and never making 2 This video explains the basic concept really well Fractals are found everywhere nature in Trees, Rivers, Branching patterns, Hurricanes and Galaxies. It tries to bring order and understandin...

Las Vegas

January has been pretty exciting for me since last three years, It marks my annual ritual trip to Las Vegas, this is my third trip this year. Almost all of my trips have been because of work. Since Las Vegas has some of the biggest hotels[1] in the world it has become a natural choice for some of the biggest American companies to host their internal and external conferences. As an example, CES hosts some 200,000 people every year [2]. This year I started my 30-hour flight journey, yes you heard it right I had a 9-hour layover at the London airport. Though it was far from ideal it was not that bad. If you can arrange priority pass [3] card from your credit card company or pay for it. Then you can use the lounge, showers and much more for free. I manage to steal the below picture from a hoarding at the airport. Then after much rest and time pass at the airport terminal, I boarded my next flight to Las Vegas. When I landed McCarran International Airport, the first surprise for me was the...
