[20:33:01] <Bytram> Seems some valid packages(?) were incorrectly flagged as being malicious; mistake was recognized within 5 minutes BUT, " the process was complicated by well-meaning members of the npm community who believed that a malicious actor or security breach was to blame and independently attempted to publish their own replacements for these packages. Ensuring the integrity of the affected packages required additional steps and time."
[20:34:21] <Bytram> ahhha! npm == Node Package Manager

[21:00:28] <Bytram> .
[21:00:33] <Bytram> nvm, I'll merge and release
[21:01:17] <Bytram> ugh... why does a merge always seem to include things in *reverse* chronological order?
[21:13:33] <Bytram> I slotted it in between two other stories... scheduled to go live in just over 45 minutes: https://soylentnews.org

[22:16:26] <takyon> Bytram: I think it is actually the order you click on the checkboxes. Start from the bottom instead and they will appear in normal order. I think. It's not something I've tested
[22:17:05] <takyon> if it is indeed like that, we should submit a bug report and get it to always merge in chronological order
[23:36:40] <Bytram> Huh! I never thought of changing the order that I clicked things... but unless something *really* funky is happening, I would expect it is just gathering up values in the form data and then doing a POST to the site. Thanks for the idea!
[23:36:57] <Bytram> takyon: ^^^ thanks!
