I'm sorry but this is completely wrong. NPM has lock files which explicitly lockdown the version you have downloaded after your first install. These are commited to source control, so all subsequent installs will use the exact same version of dependencies, and nested dependencies too.

You need to ask npm to upgrade or delete your lock file and node modules to run into this issue.

Restricting the movement of labour does not in any way benefit the individual. Presumably, as a member of this profession you must realise that competition improves compensation.

You are not owned by your employers. Anything else is like a turkey voting for christmas

What's weird about it? In practice it just means writing classes which instead of newing things inside the constructor, allows them to be passed in by the caller.

This is a pretty fundamental aspect of polymorphism and composition.

You're projecting your own perception onto others.

Let me raise a counterpoint, the cost of living in Cardiff is vastly less than the, frankly, over inflated prices in London.

I'm going to reuse your tone here - who would give up Cardiff to go to London to get the same Salary but pay twice as much for rent?

I'd raise another point as well - you're assuming people prefer the art and culture scene in London in comparison to a more local scene in a smaller city where gentrification isn't as ubiquitious. I'd rather live in Glasgow, where anyone can afford to go to a club or gig than London, where such activities are generally reserved for rich kids.

How do you prevent people proxying your API via a node service?

This is something I could never get my head around with CORS - what's the point of whitelisting origins if getting around the whitelist is nothing more than an inconvenience?

ultimately putting an autocrat in the white house is a non story?

Democrats are free to pay google to signal boost their own content, and almost certainly will have.

This is only a story if Google denied the same services to Democrats. We would have already heard if this was the case.

Bit of a non story - they offer the same services to any well funded ad agency regardless of political leaning. What would have been more concerning is if they rejected the agency - as this would show that google exercise political bias in who it chooses to collaborate with and target ads for.

This year there has been a lot of bad press for cyclists in the UK as one 20 year old biker hit and killed a lady.

Lots of negative emotions and bad blood exposed, the court case got nationwide attention for weeks.

However nobody seemed to realise the dissonance that whilst 1 cyclist caused death is the ultimate heresy, drivers kill people daily without us batting an eye.

It's all a bit frustrating, I don't understand where this bias comes from - is it latent auto industry propaganda?

Blogging, or writing in general, fortifies your knowledge. By having to actually write down what you think on a topic, you first have to actualise what it is you think. Your gaps in knowledge become really apparent when you try to write with authority on some topic.
