I've come to the conclusion that it's simply not possible to fully emulate Go channels in JS/TS. They're too tightly integrated into the rest of the language. See this talk for some more background (ideally, watch the vi

There are actually a lot of reasons why a train ticket won't work for many types of trips, but the biggest ones are that you need to carry more than one person which multiplies the price, the train doesn't go where you need to g

Then you also run into this: “Car chargers are particularly appealing to thieves because they can be sold for up to £200 and they are selling them everywhere – eBay, Facebook, and to dodgy scrap dealers,” says divert.co.uk spokesman Mark Ha

What claim does the federal government have to these funds? And how is this seizure even being contemplated before a trial and conviction? Does the Fourth Amendment not apply to him just because nobody likes him?
