But receiving scorn is no evidence of speaking the truth. A death spiral looms from this confusion.

"I offended everyone" is not defacto evidence that you're doing something right.

That hasn't happened here, so your opposition is, itself, raising spectres.

Where did the author deem anyone a bigot? Your pattern matching algorithm has severe bugs if it identifies this post as deeming families as bigots.

There is plenty of place for polish and deep understanding in the user-facing sphere. Apple is renowned for their work in this area. My company's product, Skylight, has made a virtue out of "all the little things" - understan

This post is not about perfection, but rather about a deep, legitimate frustration that the tech community spends so little time really understanding the problems it sets out to solve. Here's a key paragraph: > I am not solution-ori

I hope nobody quits tech, and certainly not because they are frustrated that the tech industry chronically celebrates solving problems we don't understand.

We're not using Yarn at Tilde yet, but I've been using it on Yarn itself and when working on Ember packages, and it's worked well. As far as performance, we have good benchmarks tracking yarn's performance in a whole bun

Is npm the bazooka or C++? As someone who's worked with C/C++ (and its hilarious explosion of tooling -- half-a-dozen at Google alone), maven, bundler and Cargo, I think it's just not accurate to say that the npm ecosystem ha
41.
by wycats 10y ago
That's exactly what Cargo does, but it also takes a further step of making `^` the default operator and strongly discouraging version ranges other than "semver compatible" post-1.0.

I more or less agree with this.

by wycats 10y ago
As a practical matter, the npm ecosystem today relies on duplication, and no new client that made the "highlander rule" (there can be only one) mandatory could succeed. Yarn does offer a `--flat` option that enforces the highlande

Yikes, thanks!

This is something I hope to work on over the next few months. It's a priority for Ember :)

At least speaking for myself, the npm package ecosystem is critical and I wouldn't want to do anything to undermine the integrity of the npm registry.

This is something I really want to explore more through less-compatible modes. It was the original way yarn worked, but it wasn't compatible enough to be the default mode: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issue

I wrote a post explaining why I'm psyched to be working on it: TLDR: - open, community governance that will support long-term evolution - the technical details get a lot right out of the gate (decent performance, predictability, and se

That would mean that, for example on crates.io, you couldn't create a `libm`, because `libc` is already very popular. I don't think that works.

So are you saying that, for example, the change to CORS from <script> in <script type='module'> has multi-vendor consensus?

The Rust version does a type coercion from Ruby VALUE to Rust String. The type coercions are defined generically using Rust traits (see the Helix README) so once somebody defines RubyString -> String once everyone benefits. In this case,

All package managers (that I know of) for dynamic languages offer a mechanism for compiling native code for packages that include bindings to C libraries. That mechanism could easily be used to achieve the same goal, even if there was no ex

The note offers this workaround for npm: "Use npm shrinkwrap to lock down your dependencies", which will prevent the worm from spreading purely because of an install of a checked out app. Any application package manager with a loc

For what it's worse, both of these characteristics indeed weren't an accident. At the time, I wrote a script that hammered git commits into a repository using different strategies and looked at what the git repository would look l

The difference here is that ` ` literally maps onto a method called ` ` in Ruby. I find this aspect of Ruby delightful and it's not something I willingly chip away at. Generally speaking, Ruby eschews syntax that invokes a protocol beh

I'm actively working on it ( https://github.com/tildeio/turboruby ) and in fact was racing @dherman to finish. He beat me by a mile :( but I hope to wrap up a usable first version soon.

Fair enough. I personally consider compound operators (asymmetrical) to be pretty risky (the do, indeed, depend on background), and I like '->' because it has a clear meaning outside of programming. But you're right, this
