hperrin,

That’s because the people making it are doing it for a job rather than for the love of it. (Except me. Surely I don’t do that.)

hperrin,

Yeah, I didn’t take it personally. He’s just venting, but doing it toward the person trying to help you is unhelpful. That’s why I posted here, basically saying to remember that you’re talking to a person, not a punching bag.

hperrin,

It is, until it isn’t. I’ve seen devs delete or abandon their projects because of too mush abuse. Nobody likes being yelled at. (Unless that’s your kink. I won’t judge.)

hperrin,

It’s a frontend JavaScript UI library. I can’t control what other dependencies people install alongside my library, or even whether they follow my library’s dependency list.

hperrin,

I actually offer consulting services for this library in particular, so yes, if you pay, you get paid support.

hperrin,

I have been testing with the original reporter of the problem. This guy came in, said he had the same problem, then cursed at me.

hperrin, (edited )

Yes, and I have a package.json that lists dependencies and the versions I test with. You can force a different version though. I don’t think that’s what happened here. I’m guessing it’s a version of some dependency that should work, because it was released as a minor version within the range I specified, but doesn’t actually work.

It could also be an issue with the build system/bundler, which I can’t really control either.

hperrin,

I am. Thanks! :) I built my email service, port87.com with it.

hperrin,

In this case, in trying to resolve the issue, he deleted his node_modules directory. So he’s talking about having to reinstall everything by typing npm install and waiting for it to finish.

It didn’t break his computer. In trying to fix it, he deleted his node_modules directory, and now he’s complaining that he has to run npm install and wait for it to finish.

So to be clear, it was his own action that caused him to have to reinstall everything.

hperrin,

Easy, just open it with your teeth, then your hands will stay clean.

How Many Streaming Services Do You Have?

I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average...

hperrin, (edited )

I’ve gotten it down to just Hulu, Nebula, and Dropout. Everything else from everywhere else I pirate. I’m getting rid of Hulu next.

I also technically have Prime Video, but that’s because they force me to have it, even though I just want Prime shipping.

hperrin,

I love it. It’s my go to if I’m bored sitting on the couch. They’ve got a lot of great shows like Game Changer, Make Some Noise, and this new one called Very Important People. If you’re into D&D, there’s Dimension 20. I’m not a big fan of it, but it’s one of, if not the, most popular shows on there.

hperrin,

Fingerprint reader and webcam standing by

hperrin,

That’s a start, but I need access to both /home and /data.

hperrin,

World’s highest peak or tallest mountain above sea level, but not the tallest mountain.

hperrin,

Touché.

hperrin,

I’m sure a few of them were the loved ones of highly motivated people who got dragged along.

hperrin,

I have no recommendations for you, I just want to second your opinion that the Gnome on screen keyboard is annoying.

hperrin,

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s 17 years after release. Just shy of being able to vote.

hperrin,

Pants have the same number of legs as people. This joke is getting absurd.

hperrin,

If that’s all you can afford and you like the design, there’s no shame in absolutely rockin’ that fursuit.

hperrin,

Sign up, watch videos, cancel account. Or look for pirated versions, but Nebula is one of the places that has yet to turn shitty.

hperrin,

It would mean that the owner could take that code and make it closed source. They could do literally anything they wanted with it, because they would own the copyright.

I’ve used wget to mirror websites. It works very well.
