That's another gotcha-- interning of strings and boxed primitives.

Are there linters for this sort of thing? I don't write Java much any more.

Autoboxing's evil twin, auto-unboxing should knock the score down a few points.

  Integer a = null;
  int b = 42;
  if (a == b) {} // throws NullPointerException

According to JNA it's not safe to unload the DLL:

https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/blob/40f0a1249b5ad...

  Do NOT force the class loader to unload the native library, since
  that introduces issues with cleaning up any extant JNA bits
  (e.g. Memory) which may still need use of the library before shutdown.
Following the blame back to 2011, they did unload DLLs before https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/commit/71de662675b...
  Remove any automatically unpacked native library.  Forcing the class
  loader to unload it first is only required on Windows, since the
  temporary native library is still "in use" and can't be deleted until
  the native library is removed from its class loader.  Any deferred
  execution we might install at this point would prevent the Native
  class and its class loader from being GC'd, so we instead force 
  the native library unload just a little bit prematurely.
Users reported occasional access violation errors during shutdown.

Native libraries are typically packaged inside a jar so that everything works over the existing build and dependency management systems.

For example, each these jars named "native-$os-$arch.jar" contain a .dll/.so/.dylib: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/aayushatharva/brotli4j/

JNA will extract the appropriate native library (using os.name and os.arch system properties), save the library to a temp file, then load it.

I can't think of another statically typed language that screws this up so badly. It just keeps getting worse with stuff like Optional and @NotNull.

Java might be the only language where a simple assignment `x = y` can throw a NullPointerException (due to auto-unboxing)

This cheatsheet would have you publish dist/*.{js,d.ts}. Presumably you would use "files":["dist"] in package.json to exclude sources from being published.

The OP recommends to additionally package src/*.ts along with sourceMaps and declarationMaps.

What's actually the best practice here?

And the purpose of "T extends string" is to carry the value of a string literal. For example, there's the string value "foo", but there's also a type "foo" which extends string and has only the one possible value.

To clarify, the arrested individual sells a swatting "service" [1]. One of the CoD players hired him to swat the other over a twitter argument. The other CoD player taunted the swatter and gave him a random address [2]. The police showed up at the address and killed an unrelated person.

No parties involved are without blame.
