Yea, that makes sense. Basically exactly how you can use an eigenbasis in linear algebra to diagonalize a matrix.

That's called picking up pennies in front of a steam roller.

This news leaves me speechless. I can't imagine the torment felt by the arrested protesters and their families. Those fighting for their rights are unspeakably brave.

5z + 2 is linear?

Maybe I'm missing what's interesting about this, but a function like f(z) = 5z + 2 would output a wave with changed amplitude and phase when z = sin(x). That doesn't seem that interesting to me, so f(z) must have some other interesting properties?

Hmm I see. So the value is in creating a kind of blocking promise. I can see how that might be useful in certain circumstances, but using blocking functionality isn't something you'd want to rely on in general.

This seems a lot more complicated than something like this:

    if (!(value instanceof Promise)) {
        value = Promise.resolve(value)
    }

And then you write the rest of your code as if it is async.
