@vrandezo @wikidata Interesting idea; probably hard to agree on a property order for certain items: puts “edit war” on another meta level…

@WikiResearch Did you/they evaluate the tool yet? Sounds like a great approach, but challenging to support all languages.

@wikidata Thanks for the explanation. Would you have the link to the Phabricator issue? Interesting problem to solve :-)

@tomayac @wikidata For DBpedia, it’s apparently alphabetically ordered: dbpedia.org/page/Angela_Me…. Thanks for clarifying Wikidata’s logic.

via Echofon in reply to tomayac

@wikidata What’s the logic behind the order in which facts are listed on Wikidata? Not alphabetically, not by increasing property ID…Random?

@RubenVerborgh Guess we agree on .all ;-) I’d have chosen .seq over .race. BTW, do you know github.com/vinniegarcia/p…? Quite elegant code.

@RubenVerborgh Interested to learn your opinion on twitter.com/tomayac/status… Using array.reduce for Promise.seq() doesn’t cover all use cases.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to tomayac

Promises IMHO need Promise.seq() for sequential exec. and Promise.allMax(iterable, n) for parallel—but max. n at a time—exec. support!
