Typescript. I love how flexible the type system is and the ability of share logic in frontend and backend.

For backend dotnet core is also nice. Fast and batteries included. I would avoid their Entity framework though. I still prefer TS.

2. Is very applicable to workarounds often linked to 3rd party issues.

This, I prefer an inconsistent comment that can still shred light on some code than no comment at all. Code also becomes obsolete and no comment just makes it worse.

Comments in code are like pizza or sex. When they are good, it’s really good. When it’s bad, it’s better than nothing

Acquired taste, just like coffee or beer. They don't need sugar.

I don't think it helps to put them in the same bag though. The problem is not being man, is being a criminal or any other form of machismo that limits women freedom.

There are countries running on 95%+ renewable electricity right now[1]. Including wind, hydro, solar, geothermal and biomass. Humanity keeps neglecting what is already proved to work. Because politics? Coal and gas are cheaper options? Environment is not considered in the equation?

> There are countries running on 95%+ renewable electricity right now[1].

That list ignores that countries trade electricity. If, say, Germany produces a lot of electricity by renewables it can sell the excess to France (which has lots of nuclear). If Germany is low on electricity, it can buy from is neighbors. The system as a whole is nowhere near 90%.

The one exception are probably countries that have all hydro and biomass.

You created a straw man. There are 10 countries that fit the 95%+ criteria, all of them probably have excess of production and have 0 interest in buying power. But yeah, what you say could theorically happen.

Because they have deposits from 10 other customers from which they where allowed to lend only $9/10. The new dolar they get, allows them to lend the 10th dollar from each and still comply with the 10% reserve.

I don't get it, the signature still returns `Type | Promise<Type>` how that promise doesn't spread through your code?

Still, the other comment about using await on plain values seems like a better option than parent comment

c-baby’s suggestion wraps a non-promise in a promise, so I don’t see how that’s still able to return a non-promise.

Awaiting plain values can only be done inside an async function, which means it returns a promise, which means you have to wait for the event loop to get the value out of there.

Generally I’m not aware of any other (reasonably ergonomic) way to write a single code path that can work with both sync and async input without itself always giving async output.

Nice article, thanks for sharing it.

Sarcasm, right?

Worthless comment, right? If you'd read the link you'd know I'm quoting directly. It cites studies, like this one: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4392651/

...which declares other correlations: "cannabis use has been linked with increased use of other drugs, including opioids" again adding "however, a causal relationship has not been established." Should we assume the bad stuff is causal, too? I don't believe we should.
