Perhaps a silly question - are multi-tenancy OSes legacy at this point? It feels like every machine nowadays only ever use a single user (perhaps a second for root). As far as I understand it even cloud deployments went away from unix's multi-user towards virtualization.

I'm implementing task management primitives into Yarn. I think tools like Turbo having to parse the lockfile is sign enough that they should be native features. Scripts have always been too limiting for local development.

The state of GitHub's "Require status checks to pass before merging" section is incredible. Never saw what should be such a simple feature that simply couldn't work in two different companies. I get 500s just by searching for my jobs !

I always found it both nice and an incredible privacy nightmare. Can you imagine what groups like ICE would do with that?

Yeah, JS is surprisingly efficient. Although Yarn's case we also have to deal with network overhead, even trickier to optimize!

I'd tread carefully with this one. The arbitrary aspect makes me think it's the kind of thing that can turn toxic if not very carefully managed.

I can now say it: Rust is really neat. I'm still on my learning journey, but I like many of its constructs. And I'm in love with pattern matching.

Installation Yarn's in-depth installation guide.

I added a compatibility layer to support Corepack when a special environment variable is set (yarn6.netlify.app/getting-star...), but it's a bit of a hack and once Yarn Switch is stable it'd be best to use it

Outside of that it's just the codename for this new codebase, same as Berry was the codename for the TS one.

Got this one too. Are you using references and perhaps a pnpm-style symlinked install?

Noticed the amazing website? It's built with @astro.build from the ground up thanks to the help of the fine folks at luckymedia.dev, and the GLSL mad skills of shadertoy.com/user/Kali 😊

Yarn 6 Preview Yarn is a modern JavaScript package manager focused on speed, security, and reliability.

It’s happening. Yarn 6 Preview is here πŸ’«

Yes, we rewrote it in Rust πŸ¦€βš‘οΈ

I'm incredibly excited for the future of our beloved package manager. See the benchmarks and plans in our latest post:

We make our models open source at Mistral, and Devstral 2 is pretty great. We also recently released Mistral Vibe (equivalent of CC).

I disagree; those rules are intended to offset that people are morons that will vote against their own interests if given the chance. By rotating people at the top you make it less likely they'll have the time to durably stack the system in their favour until voters aren't needed anymore.

Yarn's CLI framework is Clipanion, in case you want to look at making it compatible

Just left the theater - I found Zootopia a little lacking execution-wise, but overall I liked the universe enough that I could get past that and have a good time

elweth-sec - Overview elweth-sec has 13 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

I'd assume the author is github.com/elweth-sec and the packages are related to one of the xmas challenges, although they don't seem public: ctf.xmas.root-me.org

Fair - my scripts have a certain tendency to grow until I need more power (especially commands), and parseArgs feels too limited for a long-term use. But not all programs have as complex needs as Yarn!

But really you should use Clipanion πŸ˜›

I joined a middle school that turned out to have a programming club (ie 2-3 pro-linux kids self-learning Dark Basic on the school computers during lunch break).
