You can be prosecuted for reasons entirely unrelated to your publishing of a story, even if that is the true reason. Do you think people don't try to intimidate journalists?

You should check out lodash/underscore [1]. Not only is the codebase well reviewed, but there is a _.pad function in there (left and right!), and the maintainers are open to additions if core functionality is truly missing. You'

Interesting that this is released in source closed, API-only form, rather than the open-code model taken by TensorFlow. I wonder how far you could approximate the model by training a learner on the API responses.
