Ironic coming from the most slippery handheld design/materials on the market.

npm is so tiresome. It did what it had to do for a long time but it's just a bear to deal with at this point. You ever tried installing a package from Github with npm? It literally takes likes 5 minutes on my M1 mac checking for vulnerabilities.

Some time ago I switched to pnpm and will NEVER look back.

Eh. I mean when you boil it down, they need to pack a ton of functionality into a statically served web pages. In order to do this (without having to wait 10 minutes for facebook.com to load), they have to make a ton of [ad] network requests, cache data on your browser, etc.

To be honest, I'd put more of the blame on the browser. They should probably be handling all that activity better. Like chromium browsers will freeze background tabs after a certain amount of time/usage.

The fact that Perl is available on most popular OS natively is a huge plus. I was looking to write a cross-platform installation script recently and that alone almost swayed me to avoid a pure Bash implementation.

Just ran into a similar problem for creating an installation script for my project, Keagate (https://github.com/dilan-dio4/Keagate).

My solution was to use a bash installation script (https://github.com/dilan-dio4/Keagate/blob/main/packages/scr...) that checks if Node and NPM is installed. If it not, it automatically installs them via NVMs one-liner (can be seen in the bash here: https://github.com/dilan-dio4/Keagate/blob/d7442118a4846daf3...). The script then invokes the rest of the project via node.

This creates a cross-platform, streamlined installation workflow that natively goes from Bash (eww) to Node (nice).

Hmm. You think the 4 years of Trump proved the institutions broken? My perspective was always that they were quite resilient during that time. I mean, he literally tried use all of his power to do a coup - and it didn't work.

This may not be horrible thing if merely applied news from TV/social media, as most of that is pure garbage from both sides.

The problem is that news that isn't sensationalized and hyperbolic is so dry that it will never be palatable by the average news consumer. There's a couple out there that manage to ride the thin line of both objective and entertaining like The Intercept, AP, Quillete.

Completely true. When compared to the history of the US, most Americans operate with the perspective of a gold fish trying to remember the Fibonacci sequence.

Wondering if it handles system audio well.

Screen recorders for OSX often have trouble doing both system and external audio. The best two I've found (as someone who does a fair amount of screen recordings) is Loom and Screenflick

This was a PR move from the beginning.

Just got an M1 Mac since I spilled water all over my 2019 16" macbook pro. I was a little worried going in but its super snappy. vs code, gimp port and the overall OS loads faster and is more responsive.
