2012 called, they want their meme back
i recently begged my cs teacher to install npm on the school computers. shouldnt have been suprised when i immediately ran out of storage
Let me introduce you to my little friend: conda
i just checked and it seems to be a really cool package manager for several languages. but how does that help with storage limitations?
Oh no, I meant it will bloat your storage more than anything else
oh nice! ill try that on the school computers
Oh yes. Creating an empty environment can easily take up several gigabytes…
That’s heavy man
antique programming memes roadshow
Time to write in C
The overlap between people that write C and people that write JavaScript is negligible.
That’s the one that’s like Yarn’s global cache, but without compression, right?
Not sure, but probably. I only used yarn 1. Never got around to trying yarn 2+ as migrating our fairly large monorepo project at the time felt like a pretty large and complicated ordeal. By the time I switched jobs npm was already a whole lot better in the ways most important to me.
The little I’ve read about and used pnpm so far it seems a lot more plug n play than yarn while bringing big benefits. Even workspaces seems a lot simpler than it ever was with yarn (at least when I used it). Love the idea of non-flat node_modules and simplified lock files as well.
Time will tell if npm incorporates enough of pnpm’s features to make it obsolete eventually but for now I can understand why it seems so widely adopted.
I mean, the essential difference of no node_modules is shared, as are workspaces.
I think pnpm is more manual, but therefore less magic than yarn. More compatible, less stuff just works
