XML is better than YAML
The fact that JSON doesn't support comments is so annoying, and I always thought that Douglas Crockford's rationale for this basically made no sense ("They can be misused!" - like, so what, nearly anything can be misused. So without support for comments e.g. in package.json files I have to do even worse hacky workaround bullshit like "__some_field_comment": "this is my comment"). There is of course jsonc and JSON5 but the fact that it's not supported everywhere means 10 years later we still can't write comments in package.json (there is https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4482 and about a million related issues).

Jest not recommended to be used in Node.js due to instanceOf operator issues
Things like the sparkline charts on npmjs (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm ) are interactive SVGs. I think they're pretty common for data visualizations of all kinds

JavaScript registry NPM vulnerable to 'manifest confusion' abuse
I actually did a POC 7 years ago about this - https://github.com/tanepiper/steal-ur-stuff
It was reported to npm at the time, but they chose to ignore it - https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17724

I'm a Teapot
Every time this pops up, I'm reminded of the day that the NPM registry started returning 418 responses.
I remember being at a training course that day and my manager asking me what we could do to fix it because our CI was failing to pull dependencies from NPM.
Trying to explain that NPM was returning a status code intended as an April Fools joke and which was never meant to see the light of production was quite difficult

A not so unfortunate sharp edge in Pipenv
> which can be overriden with env setting
Support for this is not great. Lots of packages still don't support this properly. My experience matches the 2015 comment https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/775#issuecomment-71294085
> Not sure why "symlinks" would be involved.
If you make your node_modules a symlink, multiple packages will fail. Even if you're not interested in doing that, others are.
> What NPM does is leaps and bounds ahead
Unless you change your node / gyp version. It doesn't really have a concept of runtime version. You can restrict it, but not have two concurrent versions if they conflict.

Framework axios pushed a broken update, crippling thousands of websites
I think it's had been supposed to do that since forever. Apart from some bug in npm 5.3. Are you sure your package-lock versions actually conform to the semver ranges in your package.json?

Understanding Dependencies in Programming
Node.js manages dependencies using package managers like npm (Node Package Manager), yarn, and pnpm. npm comes pre-installed with Node.js and allows you to install and uninstall Node.js packages. It uses a package.json file to keep track of which packages your project depends on. Yarn and Pnpm are alternative package managers that aim to improve on npm in various ways, such as improved performance and better lock file format.

How to secure JavaScript applications right from the CLI

Ensure you're using Node.js version 12 or later and run the following command to install the Snyk CLI as a global npm package:

Using Prolog in Windows NT Network Configuration (1996)
I think Prolog really shines as an embedded query engine (I know this is old and it's been removed since). It's perfect for declarative configuration, very easy to write powerful queries once you wrap your head around it.
The Yarn constraints plugin also used (Tau) Prolog, although it looks like it's in the process of being replaced with JS, which makes me a bit sad. The reasoning is here: https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry/issues/1276. Seems like the biggest issue is lack of a nice dev environment. I maintain the Trealla Prolog Wasm port (npm package 'trealla') and I hope some day to use it for a VSCode extension or LSP or something to provide a nice dev experience. Performance has also been cited as an issue[1] but Trealla is quite fast and I expect it could easily handle a complex Yarn workspace with tons of facts. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in helping me with, feel free to contact me or make an issue/discussion here: https://github.com/guregu/trealla-js
