One thing Npm should implement (at least for popular packages) is deny publishing new versions that don't have provenance [1] if the previous versions had it. This would have stopped this attack. [1] https://docs.npmjs.com&#

I have similar experience. Tried Kagi two times, didn't see better results than Google once - the results are always bad in both search engines.

The difficulty system is boring too - the game was either way too easy for me, or I couldn't win a single sword fight.

I liked the beginning of the 2004 Pirates!, but after a while the gameplay is too repetitive. In the end I found the game boring, and I think it could have used a slightly more realistic simulation of the ships and their battles - I remembe

My favourite old games I like to replay every few years: Jagged Alliance 2 (with the great v1.13 mod) and Railroad Tycoon 2.

True, the 1s+ delays (both on mobile and desktop!) and no spinners is a very annoying UX. I've been saying this forever and this is a great reminder for those React-hating folks here on HN: usually it's the developer's fault

Awfully early? We have "useful" LLMs for almost three years. Where is the productivity increase? Also, your example is not very relevant. 1) Would you pay the professional if you couldn't find the answer yourself? 2) If searc
