const lockify = f => {

  let lock = Promise.resolve()

  return (...args) => {

    const result = lock.then(() => f(...args))

    lock = result.catch(() => {})

    return result.then(v => v)

The part where he's testing the blade motion and you see the bandages on his fingers I found a bit… disturbing.

I searched for “under construction” and my computer exploded.

So a Surface Pro is a laptop then. Does a SteamDeck become a laptop if you install Windows on it?

I also raised an eyebrow at "the vast majority of laptops are only sold with a specific proprietary operating system: Microsoft Windows", but after looking at some estimates it seems legit. Probably only about 1 in 10 laptops is a Mac. Software developers really just live in a different world than normal people.

It got me thinking though: what is a laptop? People probably count Chromebooks, and that seems fair. Is a SteamDeck a laptop? Is an iPad with a keyboard case a laptop? Is a Microsoft Surface Pro a laptop when it has its keyboard attached?

If someone is charged with and found innocent of a crime, you can't just remove that record. If someone else later finds an account of them being accused, they need a way to credibly assert that they were found innocent. Alternately if they are convicted and served their sentence, they might need to prove that in the future.

Sometimes people are unfairly ostracized for their past, but I think a policy of deleting records will do more harm than good.

1.7x more is not the same as 1.7x as many.

Some TypeScript features are only available through JSDoc. The one I encounter most often is `@deprecated`.
