I'll put it in context. Let's say I have leftover garbage in usr/local/lib. I clone a new project that I need to patch because it's broken. I try to fix the new project but the fix isn't working. I have no idea

The system is not well designed. For example: if I have 3 projects I'm developing locally, each needing a dozen (somewhat overlapping) libxxx-dev dependencies to build, how can I automatically clean up the dependencies that are no long

The benefit of global libraries is that they are easier to update or patch. If there is a vulnerability in an npm package, you will need to update it in all your node projects (and/or rebuild all your docker images analogously). A hybr

Why does a "default" need to exist at all at the system level? Why not just have various versions available and have version decisions be local to the software being developed/used.

Based on several studies using different methods, the death rate (infection fatality rate, or IFR) is likely around 0.5% So if you go back the average time from infection to death (2-3 weeks) you can get a sense what the ratio was in your a

There is a huge backlash and they seem to be backing off of that idea. We'll see.

This isn't quite true. For many, keto truly is an easier way to achieve the goal of eating less. Our metabolism uses various signals and pathways to detect satiety and even in the early stages of metabolic syndrome some of the pathways

This depends a lot on the individual. I would suggest it to anyone who often has post-meal slumps, for example - its likely to work wonders for them.

You don't have to trust me, here is a diff you can apply of the work I did: https://gist.github.com/spion/2779ae6dc9552c229c1eeacd90c03b... you can run ./tfb --test express-postgres and compare. If you can&#x

It might be a good idea, although I fear that if I only fix one node framework and keep the rest intact it will create a false impression that that framework is somehow amazing. Still better than a false impression that nodejs is somehow sl

I had another glance at the framework benchmark, and the quality is absolutely dreadful I removed the unnecessary middleware bloat (pug html renderer middleware for an API server, really? body-parser and form parser even for endpoints where

This benchmark mainly measures the performance of the HTTP parsing and database libraries, often in a suboptimal default configuration. In node land, they're admittedly not amazing, but nothing about the language prevents them from bei

I wanted to illustrate the fairly "wide dynamic range" available. A lot of typed, GCed languages require significant effort to write highly optimized code anyway, and the optimized code rarely looks like the idiomatic one. But eve

For those situations where the GC becomes a performance (or more likely memory usage) problem, it seems reasonable that the built-in WASM support of most engines will be able to provide an adequate performance (its already getting quite clo

One of the reasons is the difficulty of writing reusable interactive components with server-side rendering such as maps, rich text editors, autocompletes, hover previews, menus. The components work with data. Let's say you need an auto

And that's the funny bit because a lot of the quirks in TS are actually bits that are needed to integrate with other imperfect tools and libraries and deliver a fully functional product.

Yep, now that we have lots of version controls histories publically available there is no excuse for this.

The real problem with software is that it's hard to change your mind once things are built on top of it. The real solution is to find a way that makes it easy to do this. Complexity is one of the manifestations of this problem, but tha

I don't see the security angle either. You could design the system in a way that makes it able to force updates into the individual user's broken packages. Heck, it shouldn't even be connected to a user - it's just that
