Only if those packages' post-install scripts only mutate their own node_modules directory contents - and I can see this quickly falling-apart as soon as the team's dev-boxes becomes a heterogenous environment (e.g. someone using Ubuntu-on-WSL onboarding an all-M1 Mac team).

Anyway, it's a given that I disagree with the article's specific point (i.e. to commit node_modules to source-control), however I am sympathetic to arguments about avoiding another left_pad incident, but there are better solutions to that then simplistically committing node_modules:

1. package-lock (though this is an incomplete solution: it helps to protects you from vague dependency version numbers (as it uses cryptographic hashes), but it doesn't store a copy of the npm package, and you need to make sure everyone is using the exact same npm/node tooling versions otherwise your package-lock file will be clobbered by different users checking-in wildly different `lockfileVersion` versions.

2. git LFS: every so often (once a month or so?) in a separate directory off-to-the-side, add a heavily compressed 7z LZMA archive of a snapshot of your node_modules directory (ideally in a known-good-state). This allows you to keep a repo-local copy of your important dependencies without it cluttering up your commits. While these would be monthly updates - and your actual package.json/package-lock.json dependencies may change daily or weekly - in the event of catastrophe it won't be too much work to track-down any missing dependencies or to revert the deps back to the last known-good LFS file.

3. Use tools like `offline-npm` and Verdaccio, which are NPM caching proxies. If this was 2019 and everyone was working in a central office then you'd run Verdaccio on a single box in your LAN and have everyone configure their NPM clients to route through that box, which then stores every package ever requested - you could presumably run a cron-job to ensure that package cache is backed-up somewhere safe, maybe even with git-LFS as discussed above.

If shifting your center of gravity was all that was needed, how are you supposed to turn a motorcycle a low speed without tipping the bike over when you're leaning into the turn?

This video demonstrates rather clearly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNRJNwXljUo&t=285s Guy's head is upright the whole time. This rider demonstrates it as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUUY5xn2p2s

You have to keep in mind how counter steering works. Take a pencil and try to balance it upright in your hand for a split second, then jerk your hand to the right. The tip of the pencil falls to the left, correct? Like wise, if you're trying to keep it upright, you move your hand into the direction the tip of the pencil is falling towards to get the bottom underneath the tip.

That's what basically happens when you counter steer; the front tire turning is kicking the bike out from underneath yourself as it steers to the right, and it forces the bike to lean left. It's the leaning of the bike's tires that causes the actual turn to the left.

The beauty of it the way the bike's frame and front wheel design, the front wheel naturally will want to turn back into the direction of where it's leaning in an attempt to stabilize itself. You preventing controlling that behavior, along with brake and throttle, is how a turn is maintained and how you exit a turn.

That's not to say that COG doesn't affect the turn rate / radius, it absolutely does. It's also possible to turn the bike by just shifting the COG. But counter steering at most road speeds has a much higher maximum turn rate with better control over getting the bike pointed where you want to go and typically with less physical effort to initiate, maintain, and terminate the turn. And why I urge you to try again with counter steering (not necessarily push turning, you can pull to achieve the same effect). It's something easy to practice every time you make a turn and can very easily be the difference between swerve and a crash.
Gah! Thanks.

An influx of pull requests is also equally difficult for open source projects.

Anything sufficiently at scale needs a set of maintainers that the commercial tech companies would then collaborate with to get the PRs going.

Otherwise if everyone's just panicking and rushing to submit PRs, they'll inundate the maintainer. There's also no guarantee that even the best engineers at these companies are intimately familiar with the project, and might introduce regressions or other vulnerabilities in the process.

Anyway I do agree companies should be working with OSS devs, but it shouldn't be rushed or knee jerk. It should be collaborative and measured.

> However, in combination with a stove, the electrical efficiency of a thermoelectric module doesn’t matter that much. If a module is only 5% efficient in converting heat into electricity, the other 95% comes out as heat again. If the stove is used for space heating, this heat cannot be considered an energy loss, because it still contributes to its original purpose. Total system efficiency (heat + electricity) is close to 100% – no energy is lost. With appropriate stove design, the heat from electricity conversion can also be re-used for cooking or domestic water heating.

Doesn't this imply that you can just keep recirculating the heat back into the module until it's converted 100% of the energy? I suppose you would need to power the recirculator somehow, but you can do that using the output of the module, so you're back to 100% efficiency again. What's the catch?

You can not force your dependencies to do what you want. You can only patch the problem for yourself and maintain that patch in the build system, or you can fork each dependency in the chain, maintain those and then your build system is cleaner.

There is nothing wrong with these options.

I think the exact opposite. All of my open source tools in 2021 are of extraordinarily higher quality than they were 10 years ago.

All I see with the FOSS ecosystem is it picking up steam at an extraordinary pace from 2005. Postgres in particular has absolutely dominated its incumbents in recent times, an insane reversal from the situation at the turn of the millennium.

There's a guarantee of correctness, availability of auditability, and a tide of slow, iterative improvements.

The key is supply and demand.

Open source software is often not a trailblazer. Open source is often reactive to a need, and punctuated by a demand for quality, bad treatment by the commercial incumbent, and constant iterative improvement.

See the pattern of so many technologies, Docker following VM ware, open source databases following Oracle (1980s Oracle was a real pioneer).

Open source has always and will continue to be a slow rolling borg that chases commercial software. Projects will never be rushed, but the benefits of an open base has time and time again crushed closed source incumbents.

because tornado;s are not hurricane, and you literally only get a few minutes notice... not days like you do with a hurricane

tldr: plasma transfer from habitually active (running) mice to sedentary mice made the latter healthier, in particular various brain benefits were observed.

This looks like a huge deal to me? I imagine younger active humans donating their blood to the benefit of those who can no longer exercise themselves, staving off various brain disorders in that group. This looks a lot easier than trying to transplant or later brain chemistry.

> I can see a case that targeted ads are less manipulative to the extent it presents you ads for products you’ve already shown a propensity for.

Say a person has a long, rocky history with [gambling]. Showing them more ads for [casinos] than the average population is manipulative, no matter how catchy the contents of the ads are.

Replace [gambling] with binge eating, depression, infertility, impulse shopping, violent extremism, or whatever else you'd like. A lot of things will fit.

With balance bikes, the kids seem to learn so quickly that they're too young to have any memory (like you do) of learning to ride. I remember almost nothing from age 3, but that's when my second daughter made the transition from her balance bike to her big sister's bike, with zero instruction or encouragement from me.

My oldest daughter was more cautious and insisted on training wheels, which she saw other kids using, depsite already mastering the balance bike, so she didn't fully learn until age 4.

Anecdotally, I notice a real difference in my neighborhood between the families trying each approach, with the balance bike kids "getting it" significantly earlier.
Sure their homes may not have been safer, but they would have had more opportunities to get to a shelter, or to find somewhere safe, as compared to having to be at work picking shelves in a warehouse built to the minimum spec/cost.
If you don't want USDT, you can trade SOL/BUSD instead. The order book may be a little thinner, but not a big deal if you're not moving millions.

While you might claim that BUSD isn't real money, you can just immediately withdraw it as fiat in your bank account, as long as Binance remains solvent.

Or if you're still uncomfortable with BUSD for whatever reason, just trade e.g. SOL/USD on Coinbase.
the Soviet Union and the current US are not the only two possible futures. A better future has been implemented previously and other examples are visible in e.g. the Nordic model.
Hey there is a system in place that can already take care of all of this. It’s called “the market place”. Put a licence in place that force companies to pay for the code but leaves it free for everybody else. That’s it. It isn’t rocket science.

The GitHub mirror of the Chrome DevTools repo has the node_modules folder here: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-frontend/blob/mai...

But there is nuance (there always is...), the README file in node_modules is here: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-frontend/blob/mai... - and it makes it clear the only NPM dependencies used by the build-system or infrastructure is meant to be checked-in. Other NPM packages should not.

Absolutely awful attitude to have. Javascript is not always breaking. Blaming failures of libraries on the language itself is ridiculous. Literally JS on the server is no more vulnerable to downtime than other langs.

Which is why its just a stupid to be angry with java regarding this.

I ask this in good faith, since I don't live in the area: could you, reader come up with ways/legislation/policy to make the situation described in this article worse?

Take it from an engineering or project management stance: what could you possibly do to encourage the "negative" behaviors depicted here? How would you cause more chaos, more problems?

Now, if you answered that, I ask you: why do you keep doing that?

You're awesome man. Your response is honest and valuable. I don't know a single product everyone likes or thinks it's good or even it deserves the smallest attention.

Also this is not the product I'm working on, it's a biproduct of what I'm woking on which helps you go from code to a full fledged platform with lots of built-in integrations on your own cloud in a few minutes.

It's just something I thought many people spend a lot of money on (I've been paid for it ;) ) while it can be perfectly automated so I thought I make this service open-source and free for ever so some people don't necessarily pay for something they shouldn't and have more freedom switching the ci/cd tools.

Think of it as Jenkins Syntax tool or the way you build Azure DevOps pipelines.
Thanks again for sharing your point of view.
I'd argue that AI itself isn't the initial threat, because, as you say, the first AI capable of causing harm will likely be one whose goals are set by humans, who already have a bunch of harmful desires. Indeed, we already are seeing machine-learning systems used by large corporations and governments for nefarious ends.

But long term, assuming we manage to get past that problem and limit the goals that humans choose to set for their AIs (such as the obviously common goal of "don't destroy humanity"), there is the danger that the AI develops both its own goals and the ability to understand its place in the world enough to work towards those goals. This is the problem of "alignment" in AI safety research.

If you provide work/code for $0 then you yourself signal that your work is worth $0. So why should companies spend more than $0 on your work? If you truly think your work is worth more than $0 then put that in your licence for companies. It isn’t rocket science.

it feels more like you don't know what actually happens in the real world.

every single one of us (employees of large companies) are completely and wholly expendable in the eyes of the people who run the companies we work for, when compared against potentially lost profit.

we all know this. we work at these places anyway because there are no places to work which are not like this.

not only are we expendable, we only have the tiny value that we have as assets because the law strongly encourages employers to view us as having some value. if the risk of profit loss outweighs the risk of paying to recover from personnel loss, people are gonna regularly die working for that company. leadership doesn't even call things like this "loss" but the "cost of doing business".

LNT is consistent with the evidence. And it's a simple theory, and it makes sense mechanistically. What more do you want? You could concoct a more complicated theory, but Ockham's Razor says no.

I also wonder why you think this approach would be a good thing for nuclear. There's an assumption in these pro-nuclear LNT arguments that LNT would be replaced by something (hormesis or whatever) that would make radiation less dangerous. But there's no reason to think that would happen. Radiation is not a criminal defendant that will be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

BTW, the NRC recently denied petitions to reconsider LNT. Their responses to the arguments are worth reading.

This, absolutely. What I mentioned as "work" above is personal work. Keeping work sessions, history and bookmarks separate is better (and probably safer?) than having all in the same browser. This issue is even bigger with Chrome if your work account happens to be managed, as it may take over your browser's settings.
Also, rewriting service N in golang.
Interesting idea, similar to research funding I suppose. Do any governments do this, or offer grants for open source?
Why should companies pay more than $0 for something the creators ask $0 for? That doesn’t make sense at all. Do you pay more than the asking price for stuff you buy?

Drive-by pull requests during a highly visibile emergency are rarely useful.
Yeah, which is a ton. You necessarily need to put it somewhere sunny, connectable to transmission, serviceable by roads, you need water, and it can't be too cold or hot for reasons of efficiency. The space and logistics aren't trivial.
I think Seebeck junctions are neat. A friend has one sitting on his wood stove powering a little fan. But you're not going replace a solar system. Example systems in the article produce 10s of watts. If you're running your stove all day (ie winter) that's replacing the output of maybe one 100W solar panel. In the summer when you want to use your stove as little as possible solar will be a much better proposition.

Now if you convert your wood stove into a gasifier and drive a converted diesel generator... That be would something viable, a ton more complexity and maintenance but at least you'd have abundant power.
The Nordic model requires strong borders and high cultural cohesion: "we're all in this together" doesn't function without either "we" or "together".

Neither of those is remotely true in the US of 2021.

Well, they could have just... done exactly that.
Its unlikely that their lawyers are completely incompetent. For example King trademarked candy then sent a CaD letter to the makers of the original candy game that they had ripped off - and got away with it.

Unless there are more to the story i think the op can just ignore the letter. And step up the SEO so that the other business will have a hard time competing.

There will always be people that try shortcuts to success by committing fraud. And there will always be suckers that will get fooled. The tactic is often to scare - don't fall for it.
We need more of those websites showing the normies that "having nothing to hide" is essentially not true unless you're a toddler. Ever negotiated a salary, an insurance, a business contract?
