is-odd VS Pulumi

Ridiculous as it may be, my guess is that provides a unified way of number checking while avoiding the pitfalls or crazy consequences which could arise from divide-by-zero[1], which I guess might prevent less-experienced folks from tripping up on some of the Javascript gotchas? I'm not really sure. That being said, I have seen those package dependencies in some serious stuff.

Do I agree? I'm not really sure to be honest. Probably not.

it gets worse: https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-odd/blob/master/index.js

So it disappeared and node apps stop building and it was a huge fiasco getting it restored. Just for reference, https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-odd is a current fork of it and it has 34M downloads.

Checks of this extensiveness would be mad for such a simple library. I mean, who would use a library with that extensive checks?

I think that this approach would cut down the amount of JS dependencies significantly. Things like is-even and is-odd come to mind. You don't want another leftpad or colors.js to happen to you and minimising dependencies is the most effective strategy to accomplish that.

So many leaf dependencies I've looked into are no more than a Stackoverflow answer in a JS file accompanied by six or seven metadata files (package.json + typescript files + linter config + readme + git config + ...). This file: https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-odd/blob/master/inde... is downloaded over 400000 times per week (https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-odd) and while I don't have anythimg against the author for publishing a helpers function, I don't see why I would expose my project to risking a supply chain attack for something so minor. Here's another, with millions of downloads: https://github.com/inspect-js/is-date-object/blob/main/index...

I know that these are all downloaded so ofyen because theyre dependencies of dependencies but I'd appreciate it if bigger libraries would provide a vendored version of their packages that just collects these microdependencies instead of wasting npm's time by making it manage these tiny helper files. Don't vendor stuff like React or Vue or whatever framework you prefer but for the love of God don't add a dependency for 50 lines of code. Sometimes copy/paste is the right solution.

$ npm install --save is-odd // https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-odd // This package has about 500k weekly downloads // https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-odd/blob/master/index.js module.exports = function isOdd(value) { const n = Math.abs(value); return (n % 2) === 1; };

I started reading your comment curious about the source code. But I finished reading your comment only more curious. So I went to GitHub's "is-odd" and I've come back to give everyone *is-odd'*s source code in it's entirety. And here it is:

If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an important part of any true hosting operation in the public cloud. Each of these platforms has their own IaC solution, e.g. AWS CloudFormation. But they also support popular open-source IaC tools like Pulumi or Terraform. A category of tools that also needs to be discussed is API gateways and other app-specific load balancers. There are applications for internal consumption, which can be called microservices if you have a lot of them. And often microservices use advanced networking options such as a service mesh instead of just the native private network offered by a VPC.

funny, to me systemd == no docker, no containers, just a VM.

it's my goto way to keep my programming running and have it be restarted if the vm reboots. I use VMs like "pods". I deploy code directly to the VM and run it there along with other programs. I scale up an scale down with: https://www.pulumi.com/

Pulumi — Modern infrastructure as a code platform that allows you to use familiar programming languages and tools to build, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure.

A move like this may have an impact in other open source projects. Take Pulumi, for instance, people might avoid choosing it now that the Linux Foundation have its own IaC tool, and for newer, smaller projects it will probably be impossible to compete with a project under the Linux name.

Another alternative to writing an operator would be to rely on kustomize or https://www.pulumi.com/.

Pulumi

Would it make sense to say Dagger is to Pulumi [1], as Terraform is to Togomak?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your infrastructure using code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of resources such as virtual machines, load balancers, and databases. Tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation can help.
