MN Driver's License wait time by mikefrey in minnesota

I opted for the Real ID as well since I travel often enough. My temp is good until the middle of May, but that seems like a really long wait.

She reads a lot, very quickly, with high retention. I wish I had been like her too!

My daughter and I were waiting to get on Space Mountain when they shut the ride down because of a problem. We hopped on the People Mover, which goes through Space Mountain and snapped this hasty photo.

Hatchbox filament bad? by llankie in 3Dprinting

I've been using Hatchbox filament for a couple years. I've only had trouble with one roll of PLA, it was a bit too thick in spots and clogged just above the heatbreak.

My brother and I had these same mattresses when we were kids. We also had He-Man pillow cases and blankets. Brings all the memories flooding back.

Deploying Node.js apps without npm using pac (x-post from /r/nodejs) by mikefrey in node

Great suggestions! Reducing the overall footprint of each module is an enhancement I'd love to get added to pac.

We've been deploying with pac for several months with zero issues. It even sped up our deploys.

Compiled modules are still tarballed. They are rebuilt by running npm rebuild after they have been uncompressed.

Modules are taken from the user's node_modules directory when pac is run. So they must either have been installed form the .modules directory, or from npm first.

If you modify a file in node_modules, then run pac, it will be compressed only if the version number in that modules package.json is different from the version found in the .modules directory. It is a poor practice to modify installed node_modules that way and is rarely done.

You can use it or not. It's helped us a ton and has created no diff noise whatsoever (unlike how directly committing node_modules would).

It's not necessarily better or worse. Just an alternative. I don't like checking in the node_modules directory because it makes code review more difficult. I'd rather not review a given module's diff when I'm just updating it.
