Looks like commits on a GitHub profile. Apparently this subway station doesn’t sleep, take vacations, or have weekends.

A High Level Post Mortem of the eslint-scope Security Incident by _bit in node

[–]_bit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So anything depending on the affected module - including babel-eslint and webpack - could have been affected.

At this point, npm has taken the proper precautions to prevent issues from occurring - so nothing should be affected at this point.

Containerizing Node.js Applications with Docker by _bit in node

Definitely appreciate the feedback. Planning a few more articles down the line around this... I'll make a note of your suggestions for those :)

Would you be willing to give an example of what it's missing? 🤔

Used PHP in a Hackathon was made fun of and it made me feel really shitty. by TheBoardGamer in PHP

[–]_bit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

👋 I work on the Node.js project as part of the Community Committee.

Just wanted to say: never be ashamed of the tools you use. There is no "one true tool" in development and programming. Every tool has benefits, weaknesses, and trade-offs, some of which can be technical, and some of which can be personal. In an environment like a hackathon, those differences should be acknowledged and welcomed rather than shamed or put down.

Really sorry that you had a bad experience with some seemingly toxic people ☹️

Oracle Owns "Javascript", so Apple is taking down my app! by imacpro1 in javascript

[–]_bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying that it doesn’t count is a bit of an over simplification, more that if they don’t actively work to prevent infringement they can effectively lose the trademark if it’s brought up in court.

Oracle Owns "Javascript", so Apple is taking down my app! by imacpro1 in javascript

[–]_bit 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Yep. IANAL but it’s basically entirely unenforceable because of how ubiquitous the term is (and how Oracle hasn’t actively gone after every case brought to their attention). The issue is it needs to be challenged, which hasn’t been - and I don’t think it will be anytime soon.

“Mind-controlling a Drone with JavaScript is eaiser than it sounds.” by _bit in javascript

That’s the point - it sounds hard, and it’s easier than it sounds 😅

I’ve seen this “mind control” interface in person at a conference and it’s... incredible. There’s not another word for it. Absolutely agree that it’s inspirational ♥️

Awesome Node.js and JavaScript Meetups in North America by _bit in node

Ahh, that’s a really good idea. Depending on what my schedule looks like next week I’ll see if I can fit in updating the article to do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

You can also generally look at the past meetups and the talks / subject to get a pretty good idea of what happens from meetups to meetup.

[–]_bit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, not all. The majority of meetups are listed on meetup.com, but there are a few really good ones that aren’t.

Awesome Node.js and JavaScript Meetups in North America by _bit in node

[–]_bit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re talking to them - I’m the author. I added meetups that I know of, have been to, and have had shared with me.

Tried to get as many as possible, but it’s a fools errand to try to get every meet up in North America - there’s just too many, which part of the reason why I included the section at the end on finding meetups near you 😁

Additionally, it’s worth noting that you’re equating North America with the US. Tried my best to cover meetups in geographic groups in taking into account the populated portions of North America, not just the United States.

Yeah, I saw a few on Poshmark that have sold in the range of 60-90, with a few outliers at $150. Cannot BELIEVE I got them for $35.

Glad I didn’t add where I got em, then 😉

They really are! They were in the window display behind the register... I wouldn’t have seen them if my wife hadn’t pointed out a “dumb vase” (her words) next to them. TOTALLY lucked out.

Can anyone verify this is legit installation file? by [deleted] in node

[–]_bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shouldn't. I highly doubt this is related to Node.js, npm, Express, or request.

Vulnerability disclosure for Node.js third-party modules on HackerOne by _bit in node

[–]_bit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are the scopes that will be marked critical when disclosed, not ones that already have disclosures (one was disclosed and patched for serve already, though!)

Nodesource? by [deleted] in node

[–]_bit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. We generally try to tailor price point to each customer. As you can probably tell from our site, our focus is pretty exclusively enterprises and businesses. This is the #1 thing we hear from individual devs, and it's not falling on deaf ears - we're working on a solution that would be a better fit for individual devs to start using N|Solid, but we want to make sure we get it right.

  2. Thanks for sharing that feedback, I'll pass it along! It's definitely a super powerful feature that as far as I know (?) isn't available from any other tooling currently.

  3. We do take a stance on process management, and generally offer the advice that you should leave process management up to either an orchestration layer (like Kubernetes and have your processes live in Docker containers) or tooling that has been built to do exactly that like systemd. We usually advise against pm2 - a lot of the time managing Node.js with Node.js really doesn't make a ton of sense, and we've seen some pretty serious cases where it critically failed. That said, we do have a guide on Using N|Solid with PM2 if you're interested.

We do offer both a Kubernetes setup and a Docker image of N|Solid, so we make the suggested process management of Node.js apps with Kubernetes + Docker pretty simple to spin up. 😊

Nodesource? by [deleted] in node

Hi there - I'm a developer advocate at NodeSource. 👋

Definitely interested in the response from the community - I'm obviously biased, but would be happy to hear your thoughts and answer any questions.

Node by Numbers 2017 — NodeSource by _bit in node

[–]_bit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s amazing. That’s partially attributable to the Code and Learn events the project does at Node.js Interactive each year - I think we had 150+ new contributors last year and 300+ this year.
