You have to get a lucky/viral head start though, because the moment you monetize it and it proves successful you'll immediately have a bunch of clones competing from Zynga, Ketchapp, etc. That's what happened with 2048 as wel

When my ChromeOS reached EoL, I installed GalliumOS ( https://galliumos.org/ ) onto my chromebook. Works like a charm.

Ah, that was the piece I was missing. Basically we are relying on NPM to curate/remove obvious bad packages from the global registry within some timeframe (say, 3 days) and by lagging behind by 3 days you'll never pick up an obvio

How do you tell your "baked" version is any good though? Doesn't that mean N days after colors.js ground zero you'll start picking up the bad colors.js since it's now baked for N days?

The problem is by default `npm install [package]` will put a "give me [package] that appeared on the internet 5 minutes ago" into your package.json file by default . Until `npm install` pins to a minimum version by default instea

Pretty much every form of government/economy has cronyism problems. Crony capitalism, crony socialism, crony communism, crony dictatorships, etc. all exist. It's human nature to want to help your friends before helping strangers,

Oh I agree, nobody is stuck. I'm just pointing out that, sure, there are messy workarounds, but in this case it is not as simple as "rollback".

by umvi 5y ago
Yeah but in this case you might not be directly dependent on colors. You might be dependent on http-server, which is in turn dependent on colors. You can only roll back http-server, and unless http-server rolls back colors, you are stuck.

In this case, the problem isn't in your own source code, it's in someone else's source code.

Rollback what? You can't rollback someone else's dependencies.

Mushrooms can be super fickle - the conditions under which a spore will grow depend on soil composition, acidity, temperature, and other things. Morels are also famously hard to farm. Most people just hunt for them after forest fires.

Wealth taxes are different from income taxes and are controversial. Other contries have tried wealth taxes and later reneged. Just because you believe they are great doesn't mean anyone who disagrees is "spewing BS".

Seems like an ultra-simplistic hot take that doesn't address the mountain of side effects doing those things would cause.
