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 wish more developers understood the constant stream of malware that is posted to npm
postinstall malware I reported almost 7 years ago with npm - that it can run any arbitrary script locally or remotely.

Dissecting Npm Malware: Five Packages And Their Evil Install Scripts
I should really get around to how I discovered this 6 years ago and still nothing done about it

Attackers are hiding malware in minified packages distributed to NPM
Whenever something like this comes up I usually have to tap the sign (and the original report)
-
npm package to upload your private ssh keys to a pastebin
Ahh this old one - I wrote a similar package a while back as a proof of concept that npx is a bad idea 5 years ago - the developer at npm at the time told me it wasn't a problem.
-
A pastebin-like platform where you can easily paste code and import it as a module in our NPM projects
Please don't do this and never make it an actual dependency.

Researcher hacks over 35 tech firms by creating public NPM packages
Not only that it can run arbitrary code contained in a Gist and I showed this 4 years ago https://github.com/tanepiper/steal-ur-stuff

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

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
NPM is not "Node Package Manager". https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm
-
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.

Front-end Guide
[email protected] was released in May 2017 and it seems to address many of the issues that Yarn aims to solve. Do keep an eye on it!

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?
What are some alternatives?
cli - Command line interface for the Phylum API
pnpm - Fast, disk space efficient package manager
actual-malware - Useful library dependency
corepack - Zero-runtime-dependency package acting as bridge between Node projects and their package managers
asdf - Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more
