Global CO2 Levels 3 years ago

Actually yes. The chart is put together by "The 2 Degrees Institute" which has a stated objective of influencing "behavioural and lifestyle changes". That isn't science.

Global CO2 Levels 3 years ago

Propaganda presented as data.

* data source on x-axis changes at 1958

* y-axis does not begin at 0

Fundamentally dishonest for the purpose of manipulation.

You may not be aware that node created a situation where ESM maximizes compatibility when consuming libraries and CJS maximizes compatibility when producing libraries. Its a circular incentive paradigm. I suspect you are consuming libraries using "import" and everything "just works". Well, under the hood you are likely importing many libraries that use CJS "module.exports" because that is what libraries use to ensure their library can be used with both import/ESM AND require/CJS.

The only solution to this problem is to upgrade require work for importing ESM. Once that is implemented ESM will become the natural choice for those publishing libraries. Until that happens library authors are going to continue to use CJS so their libraries are available to everyone.

This is verifiably incorrect. Members of the Canadian House of Commons swear their allegiance to the monarch. They make no such oath to the People nor the Constitution in Canada.

"I, [name], do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors. So help me God."

The issue with large JavaScript files is the overhead of the browser parsing, interpreting, and executing of the JavaScript. The network transfer size has nothing to do with it.

The "For You" & "Following" tabs are exactly what I have wanted for ages. Even still, I'm pleased to see that people are exploring other options or logging out altogether.

I run a web publishing product with over 10M deployments. The easy-to-enforce content policy is this "Are we breaking the law by hosting this content?". Basically the answer for an ISP is always no until there is a takedown order from the courts which your are under jurisdiction, OR you knowingly are hosting a phishing attack intended to defraud unsuspecting members of the public, OR you are put on notice of content infringement via sworn affidavit under penalty of perjury. It really is that simple because ISPs are immune by default.

This is like wanting your internet to operate like the local DMV. No one in their right might would conclude the Canadian Government is in any way capable of improving internet service Canadians currently receive.

Keep in mind Marak was active in the issue tracker afterwards pretending to be fixing the "bug". Marak didn't change the description, readme, or roadmap of the package. He passed the release off as a functioning library that deliberately crashes any process that used the library. That is a Trojan.
