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

Mapping Caps Lock to simultaneous Esc and Super (Mod4)

Mapping Caps Lock to simultaneous Esc and Super (Mod4)

The CAPS key can be mapped to an escape key when pressed once, and a super (mod4) key when used in combination with other keys.

Create the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/custom_opts with the following:

// Make Caps an additional Escape
hidden partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "super_esc" {

key { [ Escape ] };

Using epoll with go. Packages like fsnotify does not work with sysfs. Then you need epoll, poll or select.
package main
import (
"golang.org/x/sys/unix"
"log"
"os"
)
func main() {
file, err := os.Open("/sys/class/somefile")
