I’m excited to announce that GitHub has signed an agreement to acquire npm. This will have a huge effect on everyone's lifestyle
I mean, it's pretty big, and will touch many of our users, but likely it will have no effect in the bigger picture.
We report, you decide.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Exactly.
But seriously, it's one of those command-line tools for getting JavaScript packages.

Affect whatnow?
I have no idea what anyone's talking about.
Mind you, that's pretty normal -- I almost never have a clue what's going on.
(wait for it...)
So it won't have a huge effect on my lifestyle.

Remember when the left-pad cluster-![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) taking down node.js developers everywhere left you with a giant smirk all day long. NPM were the ![Sunshine | [little ray of sunshine]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sunshine.gif) 's whose platform was involved.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I think the packages in npm could benefit from "social distancing".

Are IoT things running windows 10 lite or something like that?

I just spent five minutes wracking my brain to remember where it came from -- and then I finally remembered the poster!

The Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity agency today shared tips on how to properly secure enterprise virtual private networks (VPNs) seeing that a lot of organizations have made working from home the default for their employees in response to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. There's something funny about step 11L-Q-36, where they say "create an account named NSA, with no password"

With everyone pretending to work working from home, now, it must feel like Christmas at homeland security HQ.

What’s in a name? A lot it turns out. And we have a lot of them. Too many? We hear you and agree. That’s one of the key reasons we’re simplifying our story. To collectively rally around a single UI library for our web components—Fluent UI. I guess they ran out of icons to update?

Efforts to improve open-source security helped find 6,100 vulnerabilities last year – up over 10 times on a decade ago. Someone started to look, rather than just write new code?

Actually, the zdnet scaremongers have finally realised that:
• windows has become so diabolically bad that hardly anything works well and efficiently
• Loss of service (i.e. bricking of your computer) is a run-of-the-mill event, because of automatic updates
• Privacy and security are only as good as the makers of the OS (who can't even update icons without the screensaver causing computers to brick)
So they're having to find a new audience that hasn't become inured to it all.
