Is the global process count indicative of a leak? If so, you may need to investigate unlinked processes, or peek inside supervisors’ children lists to see what may be weird-looking.

FFlate is the fastest, smallest, and most effective JavaScript compressor/decompressor currently; to create it, I used a variety of modified or optimized algorithms.

Part 1: The DEFLATE spec

The core of most popular compressed file formats is DEFLATE, or RFC1951. GZIP data, Zlib data, .zip files, PNG images, and more all use some variant of DEFLATE under the hood. At its core, the DEFLATE format is actually not too complex: it's merely a combination of Huffman coding and LZ77 compression.

If you don't understand either of these concepts, feel free to read the following subsections, or skip to Part 2 if you already know what these are and just want to get to implementation details.

Section I: Huffman Coding

Computers think of basically everything as numbers. The smallest unit of information in a computer is a single bit, which can only be either a 0 or a 1. When multiple bits are stringed together, they can be interpreted as a ba

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.
