Just use --minimal with npm if you want a small project. (26000 files)

Angular is so big because it uses something called a "transpiler", which is really just what us 10xers call a compiler that outputs a different high-level language instead of machine code. I hear you ask, "What's a compiler?"

You see, computers don't speak English or Klingon like you and me do. It's best to imagine computers as a bunch of rings connected by an isthmus...

You sure computers aren't just a monoid in the category of endofunctors?

A transpiler is required so that code written by a 10x developer can be understood by a 1x compiler.

But then how do you build a cluster using no more than 4 ethernet cables?

Hey persons and non-persons, I'm having trouble with my hypernpm install of the is-boolean-and-equal-to-true package. It's creating 750,000 files totalling 9.3 GB. I know this is still relatively light for a hypernpm package, but I was wondering why it's almost three whole gigabytes larger than the is-boolean package. I'm using ElectronOS on my Mac iHologram if that helps. I'm downloading the package from the mirror server in Greater Annexed Russia. (Northwest U.S. for you loyalists.) Thanks in advance!

lol, still having local storage

As generalissimo Pike puts it "I want no local storage anywhere near me other than maybe caches. No disks, no state, my world entirely in the network."

Clearly npm was designed to stress-test your filesystem and the --minimal flag is just for smoke testing.

We should turn back to Soviet water integrators. Or Leibniz machines.

I also learned about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmometer today.

I like that the only source is an article that cites the Wikipedia article itself.

10xer Tip: make a ToDo app next time. Nobody has time for a contacts app.
