The very brief guide to getting rid of NPM's annoying "vulnerability" messages for packages that have been patched.

How to get the latest patch

This little guide describes what to do when:

  1. You see a vulnerability warning for a package, and
  2. The package has already been fixed, and a patch version has been released.

TLDR;

  1. Delete all lock files

Simple way to open a file or directory in a text editor or file manager, whichever is resolved first.
const cmds = { linux: 'xdg-open', win32: 'start', darwin: 'open' };
const open = cmds[process.platform];
const tryOpen = (dirname, editors = ['sublime', 'code', open]) => {
try {
cp.execSync([editors[0], dirname].join(' '));
console.log('Opening in ' + editors[0]);
} catch (err) {
if (editors.length === 0) {
throw new Error('Cannot find an editor to open');
const replace = async (input, regex, replacer) => {
// we need to remove the 'g' flag, if defined, so that all replacements can be made
let flags = (regex.flags || '').replace('g', '');
let re = new RegExp(regex.source || regex, flags);
let index = 0;
let match;
while ((match = re.exec(input.slice(index)))) {
let value = await replacer(...match);
index += match.index;

Free speech is not without exceptions.

What Does Free Speech Mean?

Among other cherished values, the First Amendment protects freedom of speech. The U.S. Supreme Court often has struggled to determine what exactly constitutes protected speech. The following are examples of speech, both direct (words) and symbolic (actions), that the Court has decided are either entitled to First Amendment protections, or not.

Freedom of speech includes the right:

  • Not to speak (specifically, the right not to salute the flag). West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943).
  • Of students to wear black armbands to school to protest a war (“Students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate.”). Tinker v. Des Moines, 393 U.S. 503 (1969).
  • To use certain offensive words and phrases to convey political messages. Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971).
  • To contribute money (under certain circumstances) to political campaigns. Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976).

I created this to see how hard it would be to provide syntax highlighting for regex in the terminal. Try it out and see for yourself!
