Nuclear container ships reminds me a little bit of the USA's propaganda of planning to make Nuclear cargo subs.

Just more engineering leaning than you. Actual engineers have to analyze their supply chains, and so makes sense they would be baffled by NPM dependency trees that utterly normal projects grow into in the JavaScript ecosystem.

Good thing that at scale, private package repositories or even in-house development is done. Personally, I would argue that an engineer unable to tell apart perfect from good, isn't a very good engineer in my book, but some engineers are unable to make compromises.

Do you think companies using node don't analyze supply chains? That's nonsense. Have you cargo installed a rust app recently? This isn't just a js issue. This needs to be solved across the industry and npm frankly has done a horrible job at it. We let people with billions of downloads a month with recently changed password/2fa publish packages? Why don't we pool assets as a collective to scan newly published packages before they're allowed to be installed? These types of things really should exist across all package registries (and my really hot take is that we probably don't need a registry for every language, either!).

> Do you think companies using node don't analyze supply chains?

I _know_ many don’t. In fact suggesting doing it is a good way to be looked at like a crazy person and be told something like “this is a yes place not a no place.”

It is solved across the industry for those who care. If you use cargo, npm, or a python package manager, you may have a service that handles static versioning of dependencies for security purposes. If you don't, you aren't generally working in a language that encourages so much package use.

2FA would certainly help, however you'd still have malware like these silently updating code and waiting for the next release.

We'd have to rely on the developer to notice, and check every line of code they ship, which might be the norm but certainly not 100% of cases.

Ah yes, this old way of thinking. Bro we live in a world where at least in web (and plenty of other domains) the velocity demanded from developers is exceedingly high; not necessarily because that's what those developers want, but because that's what management wants.

Most of my career Node.JS has paid the bills and I'm very grateful to fate for that; but I have also worked in C/asm/etc for embedded firmware etc. Implying that the JS ecosystem is only comprised of terrible devs is classic gatekeeping holier than thou type shit.

32k to 34k from entry-level to expert level. Basically businesses choosing to close over offering pay raises.

Which actually can make sense with competition still on illegal workers, and larger scale competition using prison labor.

This is why the American Food Pyramid is so messed up. Lobbyists bought it so their grain farmer clients wouldn't need to adapt to changing market conditions (end of WWII demand).

H1-B are supposed to be skilled enough that losing their job isn't a problem due to combinations of skill levels, skill combination rarity, and connections.

The fact that your statement is a truth indicates a problem with the program.

Yeah that works.

Also worth mentioning there are some great studies of windmills helping crops by regulating temp and humidity in the day/night when they're in farm fields.

(Right now Trump has a hate against them for losing a NIMBY fight against power companies).

Just go back to Harry Potter comparisons.

You already are able to pay more for 5-20 minutes of "priority".

All that this does is ensure you don't get stacked with another order ahead of you (so the delivery is direct from the restaurant to the person who ordered) in theory.

It doesn't help with situations where drivers are multi-apping (accepting orders across multiple apps and juggling them). The drivers don't even know you have priority.

edit: and in the US where you can definitely see the tip up front, you will almost always find that the order will get picked up quicker if you increase the tip by the equivalent of the priority fee. But you may well get stuck with a delivery before yours.

In my experience, choosing the priority option is nearly a guarantee that I will get a driver who makes extra stops while delivering my order.

It's wild because this happens maybe 10-15% of the time for me when I don't choose priority, but it's around 80% when I do.

I ignore the option now and just bump the tip if I want a chance of better service.

There are some loose numbers tosed around like agricultural ethanol being 2x the carbon emissions of big oil.

While not circled around to properly destroying a wetland for farming, is also destroying a far more permanent carbon sink than a farm.

IMO the article is tripping over itself to tell a story and cares about that story far more than factual information.

It could even help for some types of people, even if it's likely painful for the people reading from here.
