Convicting people for criminal behaviour based on a subjective definition of it, is what we already do wrong. Way too many innocent people end up being punished or killed, which I expect to be (objectively) a criminal act in itself. So, I thought we better first have a tool that solves that, instead of a tool that amplifies it.

It might be a better idea to first train computers to define criminality objectively, because most people cannot.

Re:JavaScript libraries should be written in TypeScript

I was kind of frustrated for a while with the broken type system of Javascript, as well as with the lack of easy type checking. I then wrote a simple small library to make my life a little easier. It's called types.js, in NPM as well..
Changing my entire code to TypeScript just feels a bit over the top to achieve only static type checking. I now only dynamically check if needed. I believe there are so much worse and important problems we are dealing with as Javascript developers today that need attention.
I really believe WASM will become the base for a great new language that eventually will make Javascript, TypeScript and so many others deprecated, solving a zillion problems at once.

Looking good, only the score numbers might be a little too thin, and the margin on hover animation doesn't work for me. It distracts me from reading, becoming a bit annoying.

Re:Facebook Launches Flow, Static Type Checker for JavaScript

Static? I use my own type-checking/enforcing lib as a base for everything I write in JS or CS (https://github.com/phazelift/types.js). It's only 1.8kb, dynamic and never fails on me.
