That doesn't mean it's a good idea to. NPM does a great job of distribiting development dependencies and Node.js applications. It's not really intended for non-js binary builds and platform-specific dependencies. You can alwa

"You just need a certain level of knowledge (e.g., linear algebra) already and not every paper can include a full introduction into representation theory." Then why is paper still the overwhelmingly preferred medium? Using hyperte

At least in programming it's possible to step into a function and/or work at multiple levels of abstraction. Getting a math degree just to be able to fill in the gaps created where 'it trivially follows' is equivalent to

I doubt it. AFAIK, organic just means the produce hasn't been treated with synthetic pesticides/herbicides. Artificial ripening just accelerates the natural process so I wouldn't be surprised if it can be appplied to organics

Congrats, you just violated the GPL. You were already violating the proprietary license if you're using his for commercial purposes without paying. Not all free software is free.

A facade should only add one layer of indirection. As for project-level management of external dependencies the tooling can be used to provide a facade for imports. I'm not sure about Webpack but JSPM already does this using a config.j

Dependencies (and their specific versions) are already managed explicitly via package.json. The shift to a flat dependency hierarchy in NPMv3 will make managing dependencies of dependencies much more explicit and straightforward to manage.

JSPM already uses it for sfx builds https://github.com/systemjs/builder/pull/205 ES6 modules allow devs to easily specify and import only the parts of a library that are being used. The bundler takes care of

If both pilots die I'd land that pig. One of the benefits of prior experience working on flight simulators is I actually have practice landing 737s (testing is fun). Talk to the control tower, request a runway for approach. Dial in the

I'm probably alone in this opinion but I think the OSS community should be patient and supportive of the organization that has supported our OSS projects all along. From an outsider perspective, it looks like they're preoccupied w

I've been using it for a while and can't say that I've experienced any issues. One difference is that the SublimeLinter for ST3 doesn't come packaged with language-specific linters. Instead, they're separated into t

18F is very unique in this regard. They somehow managed to get approval to issue their own ATOs (ie Authority to Operate) as well as provide and use their own Ubuntu-LTS gold master image as a base. They largely circumvent a lot of the proc

Exactly. If you can't handle tracking external dependencies that come with battle tested code and relatively well-defined APIs. What makes you think you can do better by recreating all the same functionality as internal dependencies. U
