capjamesg Wait wow.
#
[KevinMarks] it's what you were saying about the magic of Huffman trees
[jeremycherfas] joined the channel
#
capjamesg That really is magic.
#
capjamesg I wonder if this applies to other algorithms.
#
[KevinMarks] it broadly applies to the class of compressors that are squeezing repetition out by finding longer and longer byte sequence matches. We know text is very redundant there. It also works quite well for language identification, in that different languages have different byte sequence distributions.
#
capjamesg Wow!

Loqi [preview] [Adam Drake] Command-line Tools can be 235x Faster than your Hadoop ClusterIntroductionAs I was browsing the web and catching up on some sites I visit periodically, I found a cool article from Tom Hayden about using Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) and mrjob in or...

[KevinMarks] the dabaez coroutines stuff in python is something I use for this kind of stream munging without chewing up RAM all the time

c​apjamesg How would I make the height of the sidebars on https://nb.vic.jamesg.blog/notebook equal to the viewport height? Right now, they stretch out.

[fluffy] Does anyone know how to report a vulnerability to npm on an older version of a package? There was a vulnerability in webmention.js that I’ve now fixed and I want to do due diligence in reporting the affected versions for those using npm to deploy it.
#
[fluffy] Hm, it looks like the vulnerability platform that it was reported on will do this automatically by sending out an appropriate CVE. Good to know.
#
[tantek] [fluffy]++ both for the fix and reporting!
#

#
[fluffy] Hm, http://huntr.dev decided not to issue a CVE for it for some reason. Weird. Anyway, webmention.js 0.5.4 and earlier are vulnerable to an XSS exploit, which has been fixed in 0.5.5.
#
[fluffy] Still can’t figure out how to make npm raise a security issue for older versions.
#
[fluffy] all my searches just lead to “npm audit is telling me I have a problem what do i do” or whatever.
#
[fluffy] ah, looks like `npm deprecate` from the CLI is how to do it
#
[fluffy] Ah, there we go.
