I have started working on a tiny lockfile-less package manager for JavaScript: github.com/narijs/nari It implements bare-bones `node_modules` installs with workspace support. I am already using it for a couple of my open source packages `webpack-virtual-modules` and `mochapack`

It would be a great experiment if we appointed key maintainers with limited term powers to an open source project based on secure RNG (fair coin flipping) among the group of willing contributors. Contributors sense of ownership and user trust would increase in such a project.

Automattic Is Doing Open Source Dirty youtube.com/watch?v=SLdwYl_R… I disagree with the author. I don't think Wordpress drama has serious risks for open source. Because the grounds for the drama is Trademark misuse (seems null and void legally), not open source license misuse.

Lockfiles used in JavaScripts projects can be harmful from security and stability perspectives. You have machine generated data in your repository that is used for package manager decisions to download additional code. (1/4)

`lockTime` field is used instead in the `package.json` to fixate the time of the install, dependencies having the highest versions that existed before this time point are used. This approach picks the dependencies from the same time epoch - versions that existed together (3/4)

it does not mix dependencies from the future with dependencies from distant path, thus reducing bugs and increasing stability. So it has not only security, but also compatibility benefits. (4/4)

Do you use pnpm? Are there things you think they do particularly well compared to Yarn?

Reminding of the basics. 1. RF invaded sovereign country. 2. RF launches missiles at cities. 3. RF destroys energy facilities to freeze millions. Other tyrants are watching. The only way to end war – make 🇷🇺 leave 🇺🇦. Otherwise, 21st century will be an era of bloody conflicts.

What would be your stack now to write #NodeJS backend + which database to use?

These contributions of @elmd_ have improved code quality in the @pnpmjs repo by a lot! xitter.cf/elmd_/status/156967004…
👀 @pnpmjs running up to *4x faster* than local, entirely in-browser via WebContainers 🤯 Thanks a lot @zkochan for the collaboration 🙏 And this is just the tip of the iceberg! I can't wait for Oct 11 for the full reveal at viteconf.org ⚡️

I've just contributed to Support Ukraine. Consider supporting them too — every little helps! opencollective.com/support-u… through @opencollect
Why are most devs using #OpenSource libs only interested in having their issue get fixed, without also providing some sort of contribution? (not talking about monetary contr.) A reproducible example? A failing test? A PR? A review? Is the #JavaScript open source community broken?

If anyone in EU still thinks the invasion of Russia to Ukraine is not their business and “just politics"
The only electrical grid supplying the Chornobyl NPP and all its nuclear facilities occupied by Russian army is damaged. CNPP lost all electric supply. I call on the international community to urgently demand Russia to cease fire and allow repair units to restore power supply 1/2

My own house is reportedly destroyed by Russian Forces in Irpin. The R&D lab is gone. Our children have nowhere to return now. It's a pile of money, hard work and dedication. My family is safe, but hundreds are dying every day. Please support Ukraine: github.com/vshymanskyy/Stand…
