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

NPM Vs PNPM

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?

How to load critical styles for a NextJs app
A similar question was already posted here but, I think looking at the raw html, we will be able to better determine the required css than what Purgecss does.

How to speed up your web application
Webpack minifies JS and CSS files by default when we build them in production mode. But it does not remove useless styles or classes. For this, you can use libraries like https://purgecss.com/ Do not forget to check the dependency, connect only the functionality that you use.

Removing unused CSS in a Django template-based project
When I searched online I couldn't find an "industry standard" solution to this problem. What I ended up doing was using the popular tool PurgeCSS along with a quick Python script to generate the appropriate command. What the PurgeCSS tool does is search for all your HTML files, gather all the CSS classes used, and then "purge" all the unused ones from the CSS file. You just need to declare all the HTML files you have.
