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

-update- CNBC has fixed their headline.

> How do we know how things are intended to work? (Intended by whom?)

are very salient. Your reply talking about

> …a specific receptor in the body is not working properly.

just raises the same question again. What does it mean for something in our biology to be working "properly"? Who is deciding what is "proper"?

Genes and biology in general do not have "intended" purposes.

Most linting setups I've seen since then have required this line. I don’t expect many libraries to run afoul of this, and this warning setting will make finding them easy and safe. This will be nothing like the headache Python users faced transitioning to 3.

const lockify = f => {

  let lock = Promise.resolve()

  return (...args) => {

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

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

    return result.then(v => v)

  }

}

This requires effort, so it's not free, but I think it's a better way to engage with media.
