Feels like this is a business opportunity for someone.

Use case:

1. Upload a pre-reviewed package.json file. 2. The service monitors changes, and recommends updates. Recommendations might include security, bug, features, etc. It would check downstream dependencies, too. For production systems, the team might only care about security features. 3. Developer team can review recommendations, and download the new package.json.

(There are lots of opportunities to improve this: direct integration with git, etc.)

Anybody know if this sort of service exists? I know npm has _some_ of this. Maybe I'm just ignorant of how much of a solved problem this is?

We use Renovate for this.

Do you have any entry proposal(s) or you are just complaining without a solution?

It would be an improvement to curate more diversity in this pantheon.

Wow, thanks for sharing. I've never seen a real photo of a black hole before.
cilefen · 7 years ago
No actual photos yet exist of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole. But here is a time lapse video of stars orbiting Sag A: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TF8THY5spmo. The Event Horizon Telescope project is trying to image some black hole surroundings https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_Horizon_Telescope

I assume it's a mashup of frequency and recency.
