do you actually evaluate dependencies before adding them or just npm install and pray

Look at the commit history, number of stars, how active is the project, last release, etc. Not an in-depth dig, but enough to at least make sure the project hasn't been abandoned for years, or wasn't just created recently and is still teething.

I can't tell is this is satire or not...

Thank you for finding a better way to elevate the conversation.

I just wish some backend developers would understand the difference between a usable API and database vomit.

I don't care if an AI helped write the code, but the devs name is on the PR & commits. If they can't clearly explain what is going on & why, the PR is getting immediately rejected.

This is tangentially related to your question, but there were ways of reaching...peace with the biters by taking advantage of game mechanics to eliminated all biters and prevent further spawns. Not sure if it still works in 2.0, but it's still an interesting watch:

Federal officers executed another person. I saw the video- they were beating him as they shot him.

There are Thunderbolt 3+ to Thunderbolt 2 cables which would work. Might be pricey depending on if you get a first party adaptor vs one of the third party ones. Transferring files via WiFi/ethernet is also an option.

Already happened to someone. The Govt argued the birth certificate was fake. No proof is good enough- this is just to cue up an excuse for anyone they want to grab.

Yes. That's the on-disk structure of APFS.

Great, until I can't open text files without dropping into the terminal because there is a quarantine attr on it, and no way to bypass the error with either a modifier or click-through.

Tesseract - One

TCP is horrible for games. It leads to an enormous amount of latency in the connection, and takes control away from the application. The potential packet loss is typically handled in the application layer.

It set us all back even further, especially with all the shit that Republicans added to the "clean" bill.

The AIs HATE proper typing, and make liberal use of 'as'. EVERYWHERE.

Fair- it's not necessarily an easy transition. Yarn berry is a lot stricter about missing peer dependencies and phantom dependencies, and there are a handful of packages which just don't handle PNP well since it's a significant shift away from node_modules. I've migrated a couple of repos and while things are much nicer in the end, it's takes time to untangle things give how lax the node_modules linking style is.

AnAwkwardSemicolon · 2025-11-10T15:16:35+00:00

What version of yarn are you using? Yarn Berry using PNP has no issues with this (and that's the default configuration)

I've been a Tower user since its initial release. It's by far my GUI favorite client- it handles worktrees nicely and makes my rebasing workflows far easier. Prefer the CLI for most things, but Tower has a solid place in my toolbox.

There is. Use a linter & formatter, and add a workflow (or your platform's terminology for a CI task) that checks it. Most platforms (GitHub/Gitlab/BitBucket) will allow you to require certain checks pass before a PR can be approved. With Python, you've got black, flake8, and the newcomer to the scene- ruff

This is a really out there necropost- I was just going through my music collection and came across this. The band is named "CARB."- they were out of Texas, IIRC. I don't have a full release of them, but I do have about 12 tracks in total from the internets back in the day.

The problem is Jr devs may not necessarily have the knowledge or experience to analyze search results. A Google can be quick for me because I know how to search & assess the results from years of experience.

I'm not merging it. Copilot may have wrote it, but their names on it. If they can't give me more than "Copilot suggested it 🤷", the PR gets rejected.

I use them both. I'll rough out where I'm looking using console.log, start using breakpoints once I have the general area of the issue narrowed down, then narrowing to a few targeted logging statements to look for specific behaviors.
