tl;dr I don't like types, ergo, an altJS focused principally on adding static typing isn't good. The author starts from the premise that static typing is bad and then concludes that typescript isn't the answe. The coffeescri

It is kind of shocking to me that the state isn't liable for defendants' legal fees in the face of an acquittal. If I sue someone in civil court on frivolous grounds, they can countersue me yet no parallel exists in the criminal

it could have been well intentioned. bringing in an pseudo-outsider may not be the smartest move but its also not necessarily evil at all. the founder may have felt that his wife could relate in some way. until more evidence is given, we

That raising "threatened wife" motif is actually quite sexist. Its entirely possible that the founder may have felt that his wife could relate better to the accuser but that their meeting may not have went well and the wife felt

Sorry, I meant different in that I know very little about it. My language was imprecise. With turbo{fan|jet}s I think there is an issue that its just difficult to construct aircraft with a single engine as opposed to wing or tail mounts.
