Apparently, the JavaScript URL parser will omit the default port for a protocol (80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS) even if it was explicitly specified.

@marktenenholtz Right, maybe I am not a good enough developer but I skip the docs if the function name looks self explanatory.

Today at around 4am I have solved an out-of-memory error that happens sometimes with @pnpmjs during peer dependency resolution. I think I was trying to figure this out for years. The level of satisfaction I feel is immense.

This is so meta! Discord is switching to @pnpmjs and posted a vacancy in a pnpm channel on Discord.

@ezequiel6arrido That's kind of how I have found it. Except it wasn't me but one of the @pnpmjs contributors.

Today I have discovered that "npm ci" means "npm clean-install". I always thought it meant a npm command for continuous integration.

I see jokes about frequent @pnpmjs releases regularly. Well, if you stop creating 10 new issues a day, I'll slow down the changes and bug fixes 😅.

The last year of my life has been so sad that I can't really enjoy the popularity that @pnpmjs is getting. I hope we can sustain it. Also, for the last two weeks, I have been playing an EU4 campaign as Portugal, so I haven't been contributing much😅

I guess I am not a JavaScript developer.
There are two types of javascript developers 🧑💻. 1- The one who uses Yarn ⚡️.2- The one who uses NPM 🔥. I am the 1st one, what about you?.

Each new major version of @pnpmjs should've started with an additional "p" prefix. pnpm v1.ppnpm v2.pppnpm v3. such a lost opportunity.

Trying to adapt to the new reality of limited electricity availability. There's no electricity for up to 9 hours a day. 50% of the energy infrastructure is currently destroyed in 🇺🇦. So far, I was able to do my daily work by shifting working hours. But @pnpmjs maintenance suffers.

There is volta,.which is a node.js version manager. volt was a node.js package manager written in rust. and soon there will be vlt (read as volt), which is an npm competitor, I guess (both the registry and package manager).

What I don't like about this trend of rewriting everything into rust/zig/go is that for regular members of the js/ts ecosystem it will be much harder to contribute changes. Also, instead of working on new features, everyone will now fight for performance or die.

It is disappointing that all the new "npm/pnpm/yarn killers" opt to use a hoisted node_modules layout by default. Both Yarn and pnpm try to create a stricter node_modules and fix the ecosystem. Now, the new package managers that seek rapid growth pursue the easier approach.

It used to be simple to click "Deny" on cookie banners. Now every website has an "allow" and a "settings" button instead. So if you want to "Deny" you should do more clicks, which I am lazy to do. Evil bastards.

Why would someone use node.js 16.13? Why are people so opposed to updating their dependencies?.

Even when we think we've fixed a bug, dozens of people appear who relied on the 'bug.' Of course, these are good problems to have, and I am proud that we could achieve this level of adoption.

People still think there's a battle between npm, pnpm, yarn. no, I feel like we are brothers and sisters now. The battle is between package managers running on Node.js and those written in Zig, Rust or other languages.
it's absolutely killing me when library authors list "pnpm install" as the only command in the readme. lmao there are literally 14 ppl using pnpm so chill.

Is it OK to accept sponsorship from online casinos? @pnpmjs got a donation from an online casino. This is the first time. But I see some OSS projects get a lot of sponsorships from such websites and they don't reject them.

pnpm v8.7.0-2 is out with performance optimizations that involve the usage of workers. Please try it and let me know if it has regressions for you.

I will be working on some performance optimisations in @pnpmjs soon too. Node.js package managers are not dead yet.

I remember when Yarn came out, my thought was that @pnpmjs is dead. Now bun is out, and I don't care that much. Looks like it doesn't even work on my 10 years old PC. But I'll look into it for sure.

. @pnpmjs relies on many dependencies, but since it's delivered in a bundled state, the download statistics for these dependencies don't reflect their use within pnpm. It's unfortunate, as some of these packages aren't widely recognized outside of this context.

Yay! libuv has merged the fix for file cloning on macos. So in a few weeks Node.js should ship it as well. And that should make @pnpmjs faster!.

There is no consensus on whether autoinstallation of peer deps is a good idea. But npm has changed the expectations of many users. So I decided to implement it in @pnpmjs and make it an opt-in feature. It is easier than to reply to dozens of confused users a day.

I thought I have found a bug in Yarn's hoisting algorithm (which we also use in pnpm). The size of the node_modules in a workspace suddenly increased from 2G to 29G. After investigation and help from @larixer I realised that it wasn't a bug. core-js just couldn't be hoisted.

Another way to compare package managers popularity. If you check the last year only, the results look promising.
I've heard "pnpm has surpassed Yarn!" way too many times. I knew it's not accurate, but I didn't measure it correctly. Until now. #DEVCommunity.

@youyuxi Right, so use the "pnpm patch" command, which creates new files in the store for the modified files:.

When there is some issue with pnpm, I check how it works in npm and Yarn. In many cases in Yarn the issue is handled better. These are mainly edge cases yet Yarn is mostly superior. So when I see "npm is better than Yarn", I don't believe those claims.

@pnpmjs This might break your CI environment. I do not care. If you don't agree. I don't care. If you will comment something stupid. I will block you.

Is "ni" the best package manager chooser? I've seen a couple of alternatives. I am thinking about running it by default, when pressing enter in the terminal. Right now I run "pnpm install" in that case. But I think for most users a package manager selector would be better.

People try to be neutral. Because it is so smart to be neutral, right? It is time to pick a side. You may dislike your government but don't tell me that Russians and the west are equally bad. They are not. Russia is in NO WAY a victim.

The dependencies visualisation on the @SocketSecurity homepage is really well done. It resolves the dependencies of "express". Each time one level deeper into the dependency graph.

If you want to be a top contributor in a js project, just update the dependencies and commit the change in pnpm-lock.yaml/package-lock.json/yarn.lock.

It feels like whatever we change in pnpm, for someone it causes regressions. Unbelievable.

Last week, a PR caused a regression that only reproduces when a specific setting is turned on, and "overrides" are used. IMO, a rare case. Still, several issues were opened about it, and each got 10+ upvotes. (Should be fixed now in v8.9.1).

I believe this is the longest streak of @pnpmjs patch releases since its inception. Only bug fixes have been released over the past two months.
