You mean like this?

nvm use && npm i && npm run dev


Does NPM work for you in the first place? Much less after 5 years? They’ll have gone through 2 major revisions on their lock file format, and it’ll complain you don’t have the exact version of node specified in your package.json

Oops, one of the dependencies is a C++ library that doesn't compile on your less-than-five-years old arch.

That only works if the project is constantly maintained. Otherwise it can and will break in time.

Ok, 50 packages have critical vulnerabilities now

And another 30 didn't use versioning correctly so they installed new dependencies of their own that broke things three levels deep. Yes, based on a true story.

You’ve never found comfort in a show, movie, book or video game?

That’s actually really sad.


There was a HN poster way back then claiming to have never read a novel in their lives. I totally believe an art-free existence is possible.


> Over the past few years, I made the decision to totally cut obscenities out from my speech.

So the author made a personal choice and now believes anyone who doesn’t also make the same change is an idiot?

Sounds like something a person with a weak intellect would do.


Friendly FYI -- the link to your resume on your website is broken.


Rimworld is also great on an M1 MBP.


Where did anyone say they were personally conned?


Lack of mainstream adoption.


Seems like asking someone to draw a red line on a white piece of paper with just a black sharpie marker.


I see the name “Brave Browser” and my brain just refuses to engage. Their marketing team ruined the product for me before I ever got the chance to try it.


> I see the name “Brave Browser” and my brain just refuses to engage.

Not sure I follow.

I used Firefox for 20 years but had to switch to a Chromium browser due to performance. Went with Brave, seemed to be the best of the bunch.

I've been happy with it. What's the problem with the name?


There are no problems with the browser. It's the PR surrounding it. Clickbaity tech news websites have been trying to ruin Brave's reputation while Brave users continue to enjoy a fully FOSS browser with the best privacy period.


What do you mean? Do you feel anxious about having to rent a tuxedo when someone mentions Opera?

I jest, but I don't think I get what you are implying. What is the difference between this fantasy name and any other that is also an existing noun?


> What do you mean?

For once can we just skip the inevitable discussion that takes place in every single brave thread?


I am sorry, I am truly not aware. I'll google it but appreciate a link if you have it at hand.

Thanks and sorry - I didn't mean to start a thread that is not useful for most people


A probably incomplete list of gripes:

* cryptocurrency related bits, relation to BAT token

* Fiasco where they collected earnings on behalf of creators without their consent/knowledge/optin

* Run by Brendan Eich who some people don’t like because he created javascript, and/or is not supportive of gay people in some ways

I am sure I am forgetting some


This apology is written in an entirely self-serving tone.

The author is clearly a narcissist.
