It doesn't even require AI, just lies that fit their crazy preconceptions.

Or against, depending on your cultural values.

There's plenty of blame to go around for that one. Trump and The Heritage Foundation also played key roles.

Signs point to yes.

For an application? Never. I'd still use it for something very small like a build script where the hassle of separate compile and run stages makes the whole thing a hassle to use. That might change now, though, since I think Node has gained the ability to execute Typescript directly.

I think a better solution would be to add a method called something like ulock that does a combined lock and unwrap.

My concern with lock+unwrap is only partly because of convenience; I also didn't like it because I think it's a bad idea to get people used to casually calling unwrap, because it tends to hide inadequate error handing.

Now that I think about it, I don't like how unwrap can signal either "I know this can't fail", "the possible error states are too rare to care about" or "I can't be bothered with real error handing right now". In one or two of those cases you want to leave it in my production code, and in the last you want to audit all instances and replace them with proper error handing. Using the same function for all three cases makes that difficult.

Typescript and JavaScript are different languages and the distinction is important, especially because the two are used in conjunction with each other.

I think a lot of people have decided Dick Cheney was the main person responsible for the W administration's crimes.

A Republican judge, I assume.

Because in the mind of a Nazi, every foreigner does every awful thing they can imagine all the time.
