Installing nodejs on macOS Apple Silicon (M1)
I recently bought a new MacBook Pro with the M1 Apple Silicon CPU. While most things seem to be working great, some developer tools are not yet distributed as native aarch64 binaries. Currently, nodejs is one of those tools. The developers are working on official support, but it isn’t available yet. Fortunately thanks to the nvm project it is still easy to get up and running.

Bringing Forward the End-of-Life Date for Node.js 16
The dates were known in advance - however, the Node team expected OpenSSL 3 to be out before the release of Node 16, but it didn't happen - so they had to release with OpenSSL 1.1.1. Between the lines, I think that there was some minor hope of maybe upgrading, but obviously it was to difficult.

In response to the moderation team resignation (Rust)
>After the Node incident, it's highly likely Ashley Williams is involved again due to her propensity for racism and sexism.
I didn't know what this was referring to so I looked it up.
Here's a Reddit thread which seems to be the genesis of the complaint (an archive link because the actual post was removed):

What you need to know about ES modules in Node.js
If Node.js 12.x and 14.x releases have full support for ES modules, what gives? I was wondering the same, so I asked Matteo Collina on Twitter (he's a member of the Node.js TSC). Myles Borins (also a member of the TSC) chimed in on the thread to explain the rationale behind ES modules being marked as 'Experimental' in the 12.x and 14.x release lines:
- Running Homebridge Server On M1 Mac
What are some alternatives?
JSON.minify - Simple minifier for JSON to remove comments and whitespace
Sinon.JS - Test spies, stubs and mocks for JavaScript.
nvm - Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions
