Damn, I didn't even know that npm allows publishing dependencies that have git/https dependencies to the public registry.

You can publish with any dependency including non existent ones.

There’s not a lot of restrictions npm puts on what you can upload.


SeaweedFS's new `weed mini` command[0] does a great job at that. Previously our most flakey tests in CI were due to MinIO sometimes not starting up properly, but with `weed mini` that was completely resolved.

I can also highly recommend SeaweedFS for development purposes, where you want to test general behaviour when using S3-compatible storage. That's what I mainly used MinIO before, and SeaweedFS, especially with their new `weed mini` command that runs all the services together in one process is a great replacement for local development and CI purposes.

I've been using rustfs for some very light local development and it looks.. fine: )

Ironically rustfs.com is currently failing to load on Firefox, with 'Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "enable", s is null'. They shoulda used a statically checked language for their website...

My Firefox access is working fine. The version is 147.0.3 (aarch64)

I'm running Firefox 145.0.2 on amd64.

It seems like the issue may be that I have WebGL disabled. The console includes messages like "Failed to create WebGL context: WebGL creation failed: * AllowWebgl2:false restricts context creation on this system."

Oh well, guess I can't use rustfs :}


I just disabled webgl on my firefox and it worked fine.

Your problems could be caused by a whiny fan. Here is the source https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs


I like the way multiple people feel the need to defend a buggy website with their anecdotal n=1 evidence.

It’s not difficult to make a website that works for everyone.


> The raison d’être of SEC is to protect regular mom-and-pop investors

That's not the sole reason. They (should) also enforce a fair even playing field by preventing market manipulation (e.g. how Elon was tweeting about stock prices) and a few other things to "facilitate efficient markets and the formation of capital".

> Why should SEC rules apply?

Because private companies still fall under the jurisdiction of the SEC? See e.g. Theranos.

> On what legal basis can you force a private company to divulge its financial details?

On the to-be-created legal basis that aims to prevent bubble formation and the resulting fallout to the wider society?

> Would you be happy if you, as an individual, have to divulge your account statements if your own net wealth reaches one million?

Sure, why not? It's not a totally unheard of idea. In Norway everyones salary can be looked up.


Nobody said anything about forcing them to go public, just to force them to adhere to reporting regulations.

The Darren Shan novels also have a lot of interesting vampire world-building, with in parts a similar dillema of vampires losing their dominant position in the food chain due to humans advancing technology, and different sects in the vampire society having different approaches of how to tackle it.

Anecdotally I've heard from my biochem circle of friends, that many institutions (at least in Germany) are still quite particular when it comes to lab notebooks. Especially ones that strongly monetize on patents, e.g. Frauenhofer. They usually also provide electronic lab notebooks which can either be used directly or into which you have to store copies of the original physical lab notebook.

I suspect that this may be due to different copyright mechanisms in different jurisdictions. e.g. in Germany employees have stronger protections that may allow them to still patent stuff developed in their free time, so companies might want to have a stronger papertrail to prove that outcomes tie back to something done during working hours.


Or Germany is just very particular about rules.

As I understand it, Germany requires inventors to be paid royalties, so this may be a matter of ensuring that the actual inventors have been identified.

The corner radius discussed in the article is utopian and also only works in street layouts that prioritize car driveability over everything else.

A "properly rounded corner" at an intersection as alluded in the article is one that's great for cars (as they don't have to slow down much or have a tight turn. However, they are awful as pedestrian crossings if you want to do a double crossing, as you have to traverse additional distance. They are also much more space-inefficient, which isn't viable in a densely built urban environment.


Then you would just un-vouch them? I don't see how its easy to game on that front.

Malicious "enabler" already in the circular vouch system would then vouch for new malicious accounts and then unvouch after those are accepted, hiding the connection. So then someone would need to manually monitor the logs for every state change of all vouch pairs. Fun :)
