They really do have a separate package for every single one-liner over in JS land, do they?!
It's like an anthill.
Every ant brings one small straw or stick, then goes look for another, to pile on top of all the previous ones.

What they need is explicit control over the version of dependencies used. Which is not going to happen, since updating manually to follow bug- and security fixes is too much work.

Not quite enough horribleness there. Slap a git CLI on that puppy and we're getting somewhere.

But you need to store all code in the commit message.

It turns out, I had made lots of mistakes in publishing this new update
In total, the library was broken for approximately 3 hours
And that seems to have been enough to let hell break loose.

And this tidbit:
I was not easy to reach during this incident. Although there were multiple contributors on the GitHub repository, they did not have permission to deploy new versions.
Nor should he be always available. If people are hanging on the bleeding edge, they deserve to be cut, and feel the pain of it. It's their own damn fault.
Should he have been more careful? Yes, but mistakes happen. If a large part of the worlds node-based projects can go full spastic because one single person somewhere in the world has a derp, then the entirety of node should be fucking burned to the ground, and the perpetrators shipped off to gulag.

@loopback0 Huh? This isn't left-pad; it's a different package this time.
Yes, but it was the one that was compared to left-pad and then in the middle of the discussion you said, "Here's yet another one!" and pointed to the same thing that everyone was already talking about.

Somehow I saw @loopback0's post, but completely missed the one right before it that he was replying to.

Counterpoint: no, he should do this sort of thing more often so that all node users everywhere learn their lesson and become very sorry people!

Well at least you could fit the dependencies on a floppy disk..
Only if it's actually 1.4 MB as it claims and not 1.4 MiB, which it usually is.
Does it make the floppy disk noises? If not, I no want.

Wherein I'm reminded of this one:
Certainly the algorithm, like any machine-based tool, carries its own set of problems which need rectifying. “Any algorithm can learn to do its job better, but like humans, they might also learn biases of their own,” Novoa admitted. "In our data set, dermatologists tended to do this only for lesions that were a cause for concern."
He and his colleagues had one such problem in their their study with rulers. When dermatologists are looking at a lesion that they think might be a tumor, they’ll break out a ruler—the type you might have used in grade school—to take an accurate measurement of its size. Dermatologists tend to do this only for lesions that are a cause for concern. So in the set of biopsy images, if an image had a ruler in it, the algorithm was more likely to call a tumor malignant, because the presence of a ruler correlated with an increased likelihood a lesion was cancerous. Unfortunately, as Novoa emphasizes, the algorithm doesn’t know why that correlation makes sense, so it could easily misinterpret a random ruler sighting as grounds to diagnose cancer.
TLDR: algorithm taught to look for malignant tumours, worked out that the learning set tended to have rulers in the positive cases, and vice versa, and so learnt to look for rulers, not malignant tumours.

@PJH that's pretty smart. Let someone else do the job.
But yeah, that is a pretty significant oversight in training data.

It in fact, does not make noises.
This however, I think does...

@Dragoon So I can make text that AI interprets as positive but humans interpret as negative (or vice versa).
And with that I can bypass any security system that relies on me speaking into a microphone, then having an AI and a person determine if I'm being nice or not and checking if they match. The Pentagon probably.

I've heard suggestions here (based on EU privacy rules limitations) that it can be done entirely without a central directory. If I remember correctly, random tokens can be distributed, and the fact specific tokens were 'contagious' can be communicated afterwards. I'm pretty sure you could also work the crypto such that the messages afterward are authenticated to who sent the token, without being able to correlate different tokens to the same sender. Probably by switching keypairs often.
However there were concerns (from the very guy who invented bluetooth) that bluetooth connectivity is not a good proxy for physical proximity.
