IMO the problem for developers is that they have to provide general solutions, so they have to cover each case all the time instead of just a singular case at a time.

Ah okay, I understood it as the destructiveness itself relieving the anxiety. Thanks!

How is destructive behavior a form of anxiety relief?

I'm not denying it, I'd actually like to know more about the specifics (and couldn't find any specifics online).

Internet archive is apparently somewhat of with the pages, page 94 seems to be in a different chapter there.

Scanning chapter 4 however, the only mention of collaboration with the Nazis is "[Hajj Amin al-Husayni]'s willingness to serve as a radio commentator for the Nazis and to help recruit Muslims in the Balkans to the German war effort no doubt stains his career. But he did not act any differently from the Zionist leaders in the 1930s, who themselves sought an alliance with the Nazis against the British Empire, or from all the other anticolonialist movements who wanted rid of the Empire by way of alliances with its principal enemies." (page 65 on the archive)

This seems like a rather unspecific source for "right wing Zionist used to work with the Nazis, some of them even after the war starts." (not to mention that njm1314 somehow forgot to mention that at least Palestinian leader also wanted an alliance with the Nazis and actually worked for/with them).

I'm starting to think that njm1314 is not as well known fact as they make it out to be...

Can anyone recommend a good introduction/book to TypeScript for people who already know some programming (e.g. Java, Python) but have no experience with JavaScript?

The only texts I've found so far assume prior JS knowledge (like The TypeScript Handbook https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/intro.html) or seem rather unstructured to me (e.g. dropping a lot of different ways and shortcuts to do things without explaining concepts or making no clear distinction between basics/best practices and advanced use cases/edge cases).

Ideally it would explain core concepts (like functions, types, classes, ...) first, with their most common use cases. Later chapter would do deep dives into different topics.

Edit: when I'm talking about TypeScript I'm talking about the whole language, not just the "modifications" it makes to JavaScript.
