ES Modules are terrible, actually

This post was adapted from an earlier Twitter thread.

It's incredible how many collective developer hours have been wasted on pushing through the turd that is ES Modules (often mistakenly called "ES6 Modules"). Causing a big ecosystem divide and massive tooling support issues, for... well, no reason, really. There are no actual advantages to it. At all.

It looks shiny and new and some libraries use it in their documentation without any explanation, so people assume that it's the new thing that must be used. And then I end up having to explain to them why, unlike CommonJS, it doesn't actually work everywhere yet, and may never do so. For example, you can't import ESM modules from a CommonJS file! (Update: I've released a module that works around this issue.)

And then there's Rollup, which apparently requires ESM to be u

Launch Sublime Merge from the command line on OSX

Sublime Merge includes a command line tool, smerge, to work with git, subversion, mercurial projects on the command line. This can be used to open projects in Sublime Merge using the command line.

Requirements

• Sublime Merge installed in your system within Applications folder

Setup

Brainiarc7

Installing Linux on the Eurocom Q6:

For starters,

If you are dual booting, install Windows first, and partition from there with a tool such as Minitool. You'll only need two partitions, one for root and optionally, a small one for swap (say, 8GB). Partition them as appropriate, and when done, reboot into the UEFI menu and ensure that:

(a). Secure boot is disabled (otherwise you won't be able to load up proprietary drivers needed for the Nvidia GPU).

(b). Confirm that you're booting in UEFI mode ONLY. This is the default. CSM should remain disabled. Here's why.

You may find something like this a little simpler

zfs list -t snapshot -o name | grep ^tank@Auto | tac | tail -n +16 | xargs -n 1 zfs destroy -r

    output the list of snapshot (names only) with zfs list -t snaphot -o name
    filter to keep only the ones that match tank@Auto with grep ^tank@Auto
    reverse the list (previously sorted from oldest to newest) with tac
    limit output to the 16th oldest result and following with tail -n +16

BurnName: simple decentralized username registration

BTW, this is implemented as burn-name and burn-name-writer.

BurnName is a proposal for a simple and practical decentralized name registration system. In BurnName, users burn bitcoins to bid for names. The user who bids the most for a name owns that name, after a delay. BurnName uses the existing Bitcoin blockchain and network, and it can be used by various applications.

Example applications

• GitTorrent or a similar "decentralized GitHub"
• Domain name registration: your username doubles as a domain name
• Human-memorable Bitcoin addresses: map from your username to your Bitcoin address
