statement on event-stream compromise

Hey everyone - this is not just a one off thing, there are likely to be many other modules in your dependency trees that are now a burden to their authors. I didn't create this code for altruistic motivations, I created it for fun. I was learning, and learning is fun. I gave it away because it was easy to do so, and because sharing helps learning too. I think most of the small modules on npm were created for reasons like this. However, that was a long time ago. I've since moved on from this module and moved on from that thing too and in the process of moving on from that as well. I've written way better modules than this, the internet just hasn't fully caught up.

@broros

otherwise why would he hand over a popular package to a stranger?

If it's not fun anymore, you get literally nothing from maintaining a popular package.

One time, I was working as a dishwasher in a restu

tldr: go build only produces an executable for main packages. Check the package name of your main file is main.

I am an idiot. Its only through mistakes that you learn tho. I have recently been running into issues with my new golang projects. ONLY the new ones. Whenever I try to make a new project, it would always have issues. The biggest issue is the fact that "go build" would not produce an executable without "-o main.exe" as arguments. When an executable was produced, if I ran it I got

$ ./main.exe
./main.exe: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token \`newline\'
./main.exe: line 1: \`!<arch>\'

Restarts Bluetooth Module on Mac OS X. You can use the script as shortcut to restart Bluetooth on demand or you can use it with "SleepWatcher" to automatically restart Bluetooth on wakeup (See README.md). I created it, because my Logitech Bluetooth Mouse doesn't stay connected after sleep-mode, so i had to manually re-pair my mouse.

Fastest uuid generator for node.js

Now published as @root/uuid

This is started out as a curiosity, pasted as a gist but now, years later, I've come back to it because there are too many of these uuid modules out there and they're too complicated.

This, however, is easy to read and understand (for me, at least). Even its tests are dependncy and build-step free.

node-uuid vs crazy-uuid vs fast-uuid
