Sounds to me like the list has one item: “the npm registry once allowed users to delete packages”. [2] and [3] have nothing to do with immutability. None of them have to do with reinventing the wheel, either, unless you wanted Node to use M

Oh, nice. (This didn’t exist back when my team was on Bitbucket, sorry for the outdated info.)

Probably because Bitbucket is a terrible product. It has the worst interface of the group, and less-than-minimal support for pull requests (comments disappear when unrelated changes are made, aren’t easy to browse, aren’t related to a rev

Sorry, didn’t mean to imply it couldn’t; just pointing out that it’s important to handle despite the way the parent suggests it’s a ridiculous expectation.

How does it solve this problem? A single SHA-256 isn’t a significant amount of work.

Weird, Firefox Quantum greatly improved all resource consumption for me. Maybe you’re running into a bug.

I don’t use my tabs as bookmarks. I use them as tabs, to switch between and to have open, to group into windows. It works very well.

It’s extremely standard terminology and only confusing if you haven’t been exposed to the concept timing attacks. (Which is great! Now you have.)
