Lately I've found myself repeating the same explanations to different people about how Node.js and V8 build/test/stay in sync with each other. To reduce the parroting, here's a blog post about the workflows, challenges I see, and some hands-on tips joyeecheung.github.io/blog/2026/05...

How Node.js and V8 keep each other working - workflows, challenges and tips

Recently I’ve found myself repeating the same explanations to different people about how to test a V8 patch in Node.js, how to patch the Node.js fork run in V8’s integration CI, or how to get these pa

The second definition is missing something important. It goes with a negative form. "never" makes sense for "always not".

Follow-up question: if I have new packages to publish, do I have to publish them all manually one by one before setting up trusted publishing?

We’re deeply saddened to mark the passing of Mikeal Rogers after a courageous fight with cancer. Mikeal wasn’t just a leader in the open source world. He was a connector, a builder of community, and someone who showed up for others in meaningful ways. Thank you, Mikeal 💚 hubs.la/Q03s_C7G0

Two weeks have passed already, so it's time for a new Node.js release! Today we added support for TLSA DNS records and the new `process.threadCpuUsage` method. nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

Major in theory. In practice I would probably not have thought about it.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

IT IS A COUP

This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

Maybe we should start specifying that we want minimal code, not minimal effort.

Is SHA-256 faster because CPUs have specialized instructions for it?

This GitHub "feature" has been known for years and has already been abused to trick people into downloading malware. I'm not aware of any official communication about it but I may have missed it.

Michael Zasso @targos.dev · 06/12/2024

Wait, it's actually in the stack trace. The problem is in the abandoned `esm` module: github.com/standard-thi... This internal method was changed. It now expects two parameters.

This probably means that one of the modules is abusing Node.js internals. Try to run the tests with the `NODE_DEBUG=module` env var to find which one.

I'm talking about runtime checks. I don't know what you mean by "type checks".

120

Michael Zasso @targos.dev · 05/12/2024

I agree. My point is that correct types should force you to write the checks, or at least help you think about it.

Michael Zasso @targos.dev · 05/12/2024

My opinion here is that if the query string parser you use has type definitions and may convert any query param to an array, the types should reflect that. Otherwise it's a typings bug that may introduce the security vulnerability.

Michael Zasso @targos.dev · 05/12/2024

I tried to find a hint in the conversation but I don't find how you can (unexpectedly) get something other than a string from a query parameter. You need to have a specific parser/transformer in the middle. It's not like untrusted JSON body.

In case they want to use the `nodejs.org` handle and can't do it, feel free to direct them to me. Happy to help for the DNS challenge.
