This kind of static analysis is really easy to do with falafel: https://gist.github.com/substack/4735826 Program: var falafel = require('falafel'); var fs = require('fs'); var src = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/src.js', 'ut

The service registry I wrote ( http://github.com/substack/seaport ) is fundamentally version-aware to avoid this problem. You register services with a semver such as `web@1.2.3` and then clients or other services query for registered servic

and it DOES work with everything ... so long as you wrap all the files in the particular variant of define() function that works with requirejs (but not with other competing AMD function signatures). And then you might want to us

No. If anything, it will probably just get even more fragmented before the situation gets better. As we understand the features and architectures of package management systems better it becomes even easier to write package managers. This is

Actually that code snippet that computes a summation can be done without any loop or recursion at all: function sum (m, n) { return m * (m + 1) / 2 - n * (n - 1) / 2 } I only know this because I remember from math compe

I've complained about this before too, but if you click the "i" with a circle around it in the bar that says "this pull request can be automatically merged" you get a nice box with all the git commands to do a local fetch and merge. I think

If you want to play with this new version but also have code running on older versions that hasn't been completely ported yet, I recommend using nave to manage your node versions. After you `npm install -g nave` you can just `nave install 0

The verify phase was just defining an inline function but not running it. However, I just noticed that a program with carefully placed braces could jump out of the function box and actually run. I replaced the checker with just Function(src

Nice to see people using some of my libs to do nifty stuff but I must caution against depending on `latest` since this could cause your application to break in the future if I push breaking changes: https://github.com/ptrsghr/joint/blob/ma

Sorry about that. We booted up a ton more free servers but the queues are still rather large. On days when we're not getting a traffic spike you can usually use the service right away.

For which there is a massive amount of selection bias going on. I would want to see actual figures and a proper linear regression model before jumping to any conclusions here.

Part of my point was that "self-selecting out the gene pool" does nothing to dispel harmful beliefs. That is a culture and education problem.

That seems like a massively inefficient way of doing things. Tests are very inexpensive since they can run without human intervention. Code review requires another human to sift through changes. If the automated tests pick something up firs

I mean why does `module` pull down resources? Shouldn't that be import's job?

Thanks for this. I'm glad that using a single export function will at least be possible. I'm still pessimistic about the amount of syntax being introduced here. In particular, I still really dislike the special import "local renaming" synta

I really dislike what they're doing with modules because it's such a step back from the commonjs-inspired require() that node uses. In node, require() just returns a value. That value is usually an object but often it's just a function. Why

As a hacker/founder who has also taken up the art/design role, I disagree and think that developers who can draw reasonably well should try designing the art assets for their startups. When you design your own art assets, you can iterate on

Thanks for posting this! I just updating my own silly shuffle module ( https://github.com/substack/node-deck ) to work using the last in-place algorithm for uniform shuffling and I saw a huge speedup.
