Next Generation Package Management
https://blog.npmjs.org/post/178027064160/next-generation-package-management What if installs were so fast they could happen in the background, just by using Node? What if every file in your dependencies could be guaranteed to be bit-by-bit identical to what’s on the registry? What if working on a new project was as simple as clone and run? What if your build tools got out of your way? Introducing tink, a proof of concept implementation of an install-less installer. 另附:Yarn Plug’n’Play: Getting rid of node_modules

Introducing the React Profiler
https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/09/10/introducing-the-react-profiler.html React 16.5 adds support for a new DevTools profiler plugin. This plugin uses React’s experimental Profiler API to collect timing information about each component that’s rendered in order to identify performance bottlenecks in React applications. It will be fully compatible with our upcoming time slicing and suspense features. 另附:The Rise of Immer in React

Breaking the Deadlock Between User Experience and Developer Experience
https://alistapart.com/article/breaking-the-deadlock-between-user-experience-and-developer-experience It’s tempting to frame UX and DX as opposing forces in a zero-sum game: for one to get better, the other needs to get worse. And in many apps, that certainly appears to be the case. DX at the expense of UX is a design problem. If software is designed to make developers’ lives easier without considering the user, it’s no wonder that problems arise later on.

What I Learnt Creating Guitar Dashboard: SVG, TypeScript and Music Theory
http://mikehadlow.blogspot.com/2018/09/what-i-learned-creating-guitar.html Guitar Dashboard is a side project I’ve been working on occasionally over the past two years. It’s an open source web application. It’s intended as an interactive music theory explorer for guitarists that graphically links theoretical concepts, such as scales, modes and chords to the guitar fretboard. This post outlines what I’ve learnt, technically and musically while building Guitar Dashboard. There are probably things here that are only interesting to software developers, and others only of interest to musicians, but I expect there’s a sizable group of people, like me, who fit in the intersection of that Venn diagram and who will find it interesting. 另附:Hacklily – sheet music editor

The 12 Things You Need to Consider When Evaluating Any New JavaScript Library
https://medium.freecodecamp.org/the-12-things-you-need-to-consider-when-evaluating-any-new-javascript-library-3908c4ed3f49 How do you know if a new technology is worth investing time into? For this year’s State of JavaScript survey I wanted to dig a little bit deeper, and not only know which tools and libraries people were using, but also why they were using them. Which means I had to find a way to translate personal preferences into cold, hard data. After some research, I came up with a 12-point scale that covers the main aspects of picking and working with any technology.

Defining Roles-based Security ACLs and Supporting Multitenancy in the Node.js Strongloop Loopback framework
https://druckit.wordpress.com/2018/09/12/defining-roles-based-security-acls-and-supporting-multitenancy-in-the-node-js-strongloop-loopback-framework/ Strongloop Loopback (https://loopback.io) is a Node.js framework that extends Express.js and makes it easy for developers to create REST-based CRUD APIs in minutes. In my experience, their proclamations about RAD API development generally holds true, however, their documentation and, in particular, their tutorials, really need a lot of work in terms of organization. While there’s a lot of information that’s presented, it doesn’t really flow to tell the complete story of how you would solve real-world problems and how all of the pieces really fit together. Hopefully you’ll find that this post helps bridge that gap.

Open Sourcing TonY: Native Support of TensorFlow on Hadoop
https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2018/09/open-sourcing-tony–native-support-of-tensorflow-on-hadoop To meet our needs, and because we know there are many others interested in running distributed machine learning who are also running large Hadoop deployments, we have built TensorFlow on YARN (TonY), which we are open sourcing today. Please check out the TonY project on GitHub for details on how to use it. Contributions and suggestions from the community are welcome!

The UX is dying
https://uxplanet.org/the-ux-is-dying-94d5ef6b7256 We will never be able to stop things from happening. Life and every other material and nonmaterial things have to go through its course. The wise things are that we have to adapt to the new technologies. It has been our nature to do so. It has become really easy to find a person with a title called “UX designer” in the job market. Most of them lack the knowledge in conversational UI, AR and VR technologies and how to understand their business domain. They have to address and prioritize the domain features of a product and give their input to the growth of the business. The management of the organizations has to take UX into their head and understand the value of a UX designer as a job role and as valuable resource. Sharing the knowledge and making the people aware more about the UX industry would help newcomers to be comfortable with the word UX.

Hacker culture and the politics of process defense
http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8120 I propose to replace the question “What kind of politics should the hacker culture be engaged in?” with two that are sharper and more responsive to our duty. These questions are: 1. What exertions of power and influence do we need to resist in order to protect our processes, prevent our social machine from breaking down, and achieve our telos? 2. Should we, as a culture or as projects within that culture, engage in “politics” (however that is defined) beyond the issues selected by the previous question?
