scarf-js is now at 4M weekly downloads on npm and growing quickly. This is your periodic reminder that telemetry in OSS when done properly is Good, actually.

Not bad honestly

We've fixed the permissions but now we have cert issues downloading anything. setting SSL_CERT variables doesn't seem to work. Have removed homebrew openssl links, no dice.

Hmm definitely some permissions issues still

Indeed, things are still messed up. Trying to install something, eg devenv doesn't work yet.

Ok, we're making progress! nix binary can be invoked! Now let's see if we can actually use it though...

With the holiday slowness, I finally have time to fix my borked nix setup! Ever since I upgraded to Sequoia, it's been completely broken. Let's see what happens. So far, both the main installer and determinate nix installer are failing.

I don’t use Apple Music, so 10 years later this is still the only thing in my library. Just automated in my car

scarf-js just hit 1M downloads/week on npm. This library used to be so controversial that we deprioritized working on it and promoting it years ago in favor of other approaches. Times have changed.

npm appears to be behind on download event processing. Every package's download counts this week have dropped by ~80% this week.

You can now save your queries in Scarf and share them with your team. Example: "Show (non-automated) OSS usage from Fortune 500s in the top of our funnel who have also looked at our pricing page." Small tweak but really useful for teams to build workflows.

A sudden trip to vet and now a sad cone to top off an already tough day.

It's probably my own misunderstanding, but I get the feeling that SalesForce's data model is deeply flawed (eg, you can convert a lead into a contact, account *or* an opportunity???), and wow are their docs not helping.
