Have you guys approached the ridiculous folder nesting situation? E.g. breaking out of the current/broken node_modules structure?
Zero doesn't sound like a reasonable expectation. Elsewhere, conquered Soviet civilians and POWs suffered horribly, but not everyone was killed.

However, a more reasonable question is whether a timely evacuation of Leningrad would have saved more of the residents. Stalin intentionally left much of the civilian population in the siege.

And it is indeed a problem if a law "against rehabilitation of nazism" is used for silencing honest, civilized discussion about WW2 history.
It's important to note, however, that while LLVM IR is language and target independent, a lot of languages themselves are not target independent.

IE LLVM does not make C magically portable, because C requires and creates target-specific information (for example sizeof).

To give a simple example, you can't take:

int *foo;
printf("%d\n", sizeof(foo))

Compile it on a 16 bit platform to llvm bitcode
and then run compile/run the llvm bitcode on a 64 bit platform, and get the right answer for that platform, and llvm can't solve this.

The long story on this one is that it's basically not possible to even just move this stuff to dynamic evaluation in a frontend because you can depend on target specific things in the preprocessor, IIRC. Otherwise, you could, but it'd generate super-slow code unless you built llvm intrinsics for all these things, and then lowered them once you had target specific info.

I believe TeNDRA and friends could do this at one point, but i might be misremembering (i've deliberately blocked most of my knowledge of ANDF)

I find it strange that the time isn't invested in already existing projects.

But at least it's a move away from NPM. I think the most problems I had with JavaScript develompent in the last 2 years came from NPM.
I was talking with my friend pretty extensively about personality recently. One way we came to view MBTI was as a clustering on 4 axes. We came away with an understanding that the letters don't mean much without a quantifier for each axis. For instance, my results have been consistent for a long time, but hers jumped around a lot and we realized she was probably on the borderline of the classifier on several dimensions while I was probably in a corner.

That said there are other criticisms, for instance: Are thinking and feeling really an axis or are they two independent traits? Are there other useful axes not included?

While I sort of cringe at the idea of using this for assigning people jobs, there area few people in my life that fit some of the type narratives fairly well and it helped me understand their motivations a bit better, which did legitimately help my relationships with them.
Notably, all the good secondary analysis of MBTI I've seen worries about magnitude. The RibbonFarm bit on it focuses almost exclusively on magnitude, discussing 'primary' traits rather than four-letter type clusters. A lot of the worst analysis, by contrast, insists on using non-magnitude, 16-case typing.

Which, of course, means that we're abandoning the actual test to get a substantive measurement.
Doesn't npm effectively replicate bundler's functionality (poorly) via shrinkwrap? Why not fix that feature rather than replacing it with a separate utility?
This is by far the clearest methodological explanation of the problem so far from someone who understands statistics and the problems of empirical research. Thank you. It's amazing how many people are too wedded to the truthiness of it, and are unable to let go of something they did once and believed because it was plausible.

>We decided to zip the entire node_modules folder and upload it to an internal CDN so that both engineers and our continuous integration systems could download and extract the files consistently.

why not mirror npm modules there then?!
I expect you get about the same utility out of any 4-dimensional, 16-choice bucketing strategy.

The MBTI is mostly just useful in that it's one of the few things that actually sorts humans in a hyperdimensional way, which is really how we're best categorized.

We're all slight wobbles (well, statistically speaking) around the center of a like 20-100 dimension distribution.

MBTI is basically just PCA on that space in to a 4-dimensional one, and while we can argue how evenly its bucketing split the actual distribution of people (not ideally, but not terribly), or how much information was lost in that downcasting (a lot!), I think the basic premise of viewing people as a composite of slight differences across many dimensions is a useful viewpoint we don't normally engage in.

So if you could pick 16 LotR characters that form a hypercube of traits, then assigning LotR characters is the same as the MBTI. The problem is usually that LotR quizzes and the like are a) much smaller than that (4-8 characters) and b) not laid out in a hypercube (ie, there's not 4+ dimensions of wobble, there's 2 or 3).
Please, educate yourself about eyestrain before hurting your vision further.
TL;DR; This is a pretty big update. There are potentially breaking changes (e.g. errors when calling ambiguous methods). And there are significant performance improvements when dealing with functional-style programming (lambdas, closures, etc).
927 was also my first thought. But what made me to reconsider was not more than one big name behind it (but it helped), but the fact that they rely on npm backend and did not reinvent everything from scratch.

Basically, yarn is npm client done right reusing the same npm package repo.

The profession is about enthusiasm and confidence. So, many people there are constantly smiling, wide-eyed, vigorously shaking your hand like you're their lost brother, telling you how happy you'll be with the product, and so on. Many of them. They're also usually successful to some degree.
You don't need to use Immutable.js (I never do) but making your state immutable/functional is what makes the magic work. You don't have to worry about observing data or manually handling data updates -- everything just works. Compare this to MobX where there's an explicit pubsub model. In my opinion that works best for small apps, but falls apart in large ones (where Redux shines).
My question is if we are going astray looking for a "human" solution to what is ultimately an "animal" behavior. :)

That is, I agree it is not an excuse to say "animals do it." But, it is also somewhat askew to me to have a barrier to our explanations that do not involve "humans are just animals."

Edit: Corrected.
Legit criticism, I actually tried to get a clarification on that, what those words mean exactly. I read most of the CNN doc and went ahead and wrote that, because I felt that it was the best meaning in context. I could be wrong about that. However, the CNN image itself must be over 1GB. So if those parameters are simply a matrix fed to the learning algorythm, the algo itself still ends up huge. > "And that is assuming there is not a sufficiently good algorithm for learning animal behaviors that is much simpler" > Right, but assuming something is not is the default unless there is evidence that something is.

Oh absolutely. In fact I think there are those situations. My argument isn't that MBTI is effective in all individual cases to gauge much about them. My argument is that the ineffectiveness of MBTI at providing useful information to people on average has not been established. It's not been well researched in the first place and the research I've seen has been quite awful in their setup and analysis.

The question isn't whether people who are in the middle of each criteria exist and could easily swap classifications to their polar opposite. The question is what percentage of people would do that and whether it's high enough that there's too little signal to noise to extract any meaningful information out of the classification system.

Yeah, that would be much better. But unfortunately the node_modules structure (which yarn is attempting to be fully compatible with) makes that impossible.

The reason is that each package only finds its dependencies relative to its own location. So your second level dependencies cannot vary from project to project unless you do copying.

(Example: AppA and AppB depend on LibX. LibX depends on LibY. Through their deterministic lockfiles, AppA and AppB disagree on which version of LibY to use. There is no way to symlink things together to satisfy that case without copying LibX or altering node's package resolution algorithm.)
The bottom line on this isn't that NSA can hide backdoors in crypto (we already knew that). It's that ensuring clean parameters for DH is comparably difficult to ensuring clean parameters for elliptic curve: you need "nothing up my sleeves" prime numbers for DH the same way you need "nothing up my sleeves" coefficients for curves.

What this really is, is one less reason to use conventional Diffie Hellman over Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman.

"That's pretty much what mainstream media does. That's why you see major investigative articles with lots and lots of cross-referenced sources."

This is not what the mainstream media does. What it does is start with the biases and goals of the organization that targets the beliefs and wants of particular viewers. The journalists will have run into this trying to get things by editors in the past. Then, they'll begin on their peace which may use any combination of sources to support its claims with little presented for alternative opinions. They even like to cite "anonymous sources" to push total bullshit. They'll then present the story.

Sometimes I see well-researched stories that cover most odds and ends. Most of the time I see them reporting whatever they saw or heard from one source with their own slant. The funny thing about your comments is that even most viewers of these organizations I run into know they're extremely biased. They'll say "What else do you expect from (Huffington Post or Fox News here)? They always push that (liberal/conservative) BS!" They just think the bias of their preferred outlet is correct most of the time. Of course, that's all the info they see too. ;)

he's gotta be trolling. space x is almost 15 years old at this point and has consistently made it into the headlines within the last 10.
I don't think I made my point clearly.

I'm not suggesting that MBTI claims we're 100% E or I. I'm saying that it assigns binary distributions on those axes, which would make it meaningful to talk about "E dominant" and "I dominant" people. Every study I've seen of the actual data, though, says that these are normally distributed traits.

So there are some people with distinctive, meaningful dominant modes on these axes. But the bulk of the population is at the center of the distributions, where marginal differences are being talked about like high-significance bimodal results.

This isn't inevitably the case, but we live in a world where MBTI results are still being used to determine who's suited to which jobs. If you're hiring sales guys who are 51% extroverted and refusing ones who are 49% extroverted, that supposed binary distribution is misleading you badly.
I like quiet working spaces and spending time alone... whenever I see charts like this, though, I wonder if it isn't the case that _everybody_ would like the luxury of being an "introvert" and those of us (me included) who label ourselves that way are just excusing selfish behavior? Or are there really people who shudder at the thought of being alone, concentrating deeply on a single problem, and work in silence?
Recently I got annoyed how hard it is to use shrinkwrap in npm and started working on a npm wrapper that would make npm as easy to work with as Ruby Bundler by copying its workflow as closely as possible (https://github.com/szimek/bundlerjs). Thankfully, I don't have to develop it anymore ;) Big thanks to all Yarn developers!
wow already one of the features i'm loving in yarn is that it tells you which package is firing warnings about package incompatability.

warning electron-prebuilt-compile > electron-compilers > jade@1.11.0: Jade has been renamed to pug, please install the latest version of pug instead of jade

in npm, that would have just said the part after "jade@1.11.0" which was really vague and didn't really make you want to "fix" it because which npm module do you have to go into? who knows because npm (the package manager) didn't tell you.
Did this change? As recently as a few weeks ago the root ZSK was 1024 bits.
I don't know what you mean by "it doesn't really matter." Surely there's a cost to using generators instead of regular function calls and returns, right? That's where the overhead would come from, because generators aren't free.

Right now, Pyret and GopherJS (the last time I checked in GopherJS's case) basically manually encode the `IteratorResult` type, and check for "stack unwind" vs "regular result" when each function call returns, if it might pause.

The first question for generators is if they are less overhead than this manual process. There's a bunch of other details, too, but this is the main one. And generators are certainly going to cause _some_ overhead over regular calls and returns, just like the manual checking of return values has overhead.

My original comment was about the lack of something like delimited continuations in JS, which would allow saving portions of the stack while intentionally minimizing the overhead of regular function calls. That's a well-fitting language-level solution to this issue.
Indoors is categorically not better for the cats. They're nocturnal predators. Let them hunt as is their desire and way of living. It's like keeping birds in cages and not letting them fly. Or chickens in battery farms.
There are so many unhappy cats imprisoned for the benefit of their fluffy -loving captors. If you have cats, you must let them be cats.

So here's the rub: we really have to stop keeping so many cats
This looks more like a 'legacy' statement, where the president is trying to emphasize how much he has done in the arena of space exploration, and what his contribution has been.
I agree, not all cats hunt birds. However, there was a study (easy to google) where researchers put cameras on cats, and they found that some outdoor of cats do kill a monumental number of birds.

Overall, I think we can't conclude that any specific cat is doing this, but we can conclude that outdoor cats do greatly reduce the bird population.
Hmm.. is it still available as a configuration option somewhere? I couldn't find it on the site.

I'm a huge fan of bundler - it's dependency heaven.
I'm also a big fan of the rubygems repo. It does not allow changes in released versions.

The 3 Irrefutable Cornerstones Behind Writing Content That Matters
> I don't think it took 100's of years for people to figure out that a continent teaming cod, timber, and beavers might be a good place to set up trade. Grated, early on, they thought it was a continent full of gold and spices.

But it did! There were very basic, underfunded French colonies in North America for example for at least a hundred years before they really sent a lot more people and realized the wealth that could be had. At the same time the colonizing countries also had great internal issues, but had they known how much profit could've been made from investment, undoubtedly they would've been colonizing in full force much earlier.
If you do, would love see experiments on that. I do wish NPM would start adding badges or some other meta data to packages that signify that a module has constraints like:
- No native code
- No module state (No multiple singletons, and easily load variants of a module)
- Pure installation, aka no build steps and is fully cacheable via hashing/immutable module patterns
- Is all pure functional
- 100% code coverage
- Etc.
