If you have issues reading/comprehending the shorter code then you should probably find a different line of work.
I don't work as a programmer (but I do have an A.S. degree in programming). I typically program in Python. To quote the Zen of Python: "Readability counts."
And your nick is one character away from including the word "reamer", and two letters away from being "screamer".
I got the nickname "Reamer the Screamer" in the engineering class at junior high school. My model car required a larger opening to fit the CO2 cartridge ("reamer") and it whistled down the string ("screamer"). I never liked that nickname as it fit the reputations of several girls quite well.
Does anyone know when this gets fixed and what the plan is?
You could try to read the article.
To fix the internet, Laurie Voss, CTO and cofounder of NPM, took the "unprecedented" step of restoring the unpublished left-pad 0.0.3 that apps required. Normally, when a particular version is unpublished, it's gone and cannot be restored. Now NPM has forcibly resurrected that particular version to keep everyone's stuff building and running as expected.
Your left pad solution is 40% shorter and probably more efficient than the crap that was yanked from NPM.
The original code from NPM is more readable. Given the choice between compact code and readable code, I prefer readable code. Especially when it comes to my own code and I have to figure out what I wrote months or years later.
I had a first generation iPod Touch that I used for eight years to read Amazon Kindle ebooks. When the battery stopped working, I got an iPhone 5c because it was $100 less than a current generation iPod Touch and I was out of contract on my cellphone. I later traded in the 5c for a 6s because Sprint gave me a good deal. It's unlikely that I'll trade the 6s in anytime soon, as I typically hold on to a cellphone for three years.
Here's another SENSATIONALIST headline from that time: "Oliver North's Martial Law Plans!!!"
Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, was a classified scenario and drill developed by the United States federal government to detain large numbers of American citizens deemed to be "national security threats", mainly African Americans, in the event that the President declared a "State of National Emergency". The plan was first revealed in detail in a major daily newspaper by reporter Alfonso Chardy in the July 5 1987 edition of the Miami Herald. Possible reasons for such a roundup were reported to be widespread opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad, such as if the United States were to directly invade Central America.
Says someone who didn't read the Rogers Commission Report [nasa.gov] including Feynman's addendum where NASA actually believed their own (completely made up) hype about 1 loss per 100,000 missions.
The news media reported a possible connection between the schedules for the launch and the State of the Union address. If it was proven that NASA gambled with the lives of astronauts for a White House PR stunt, it would have been a major scandal. Unfortunately for the Reagan Administration, 1986 was the start of the Iran-Contra scandal and good PR was in short supply.
He did something that most people wouldn't do because they're afraid of what people might think of them. The guilt of being silent is far worse — and too common.
The product was the first teacher in space. The sale was the State of the Union address by President Ronald Reagan. According to various reports, Reagan wanted to chat with her while she was in orbit on national television. NASA and the administration categorically denied that the launch was tied to the speech.
Whenever a Comcast truck drove through the neighborhood, my previous roommate and I knew that our Internet service would get impacted. The conservations with the service agents boiled down to "your end" vs. "their end", where they blamed your end and denied that their end was the problem. I spent three hours on the phone one time, trying to explain to them as a certified network technician that the configuration was hosed on their end. A field tech came out to confirm that the problem was on their end.
[...] highly trained Comcast customer service agents [...]
Does this mean that the field tech won't be installing the bypass filter backwards in the box and blocking Internet service for a month while the customer service agent denies that the problem existed because everything worked fine on their end?
My roommate and I went through that. Every time a Comcast truck drove through the neighborhood, we knew our Internet service would get impacted. Bloody bastards.
It was a thing, but the SCOTUS rejected it completely. There is no gray area; arbitration agreements that say they are binding, are binding.
Until another case comes along the convinces SCOTUS to reverse itself or revise an earlier ruling. Take abortion, for example. Roe v. Wade made it legal under most circumstances in the United States. That ruling doesn't prevent laws from being made and lawsuits being filed to overturn it. Add a few more conservative activist judges to SCOTUS, abortion will become illegal in a fetal heartbeat — if the right case comes along.
This is part of the physiological tools Govts use to condition the peasants.
Physiological is the body. Psychological is the mind. You probably meant latter instead of the former. Based on the rest of your rambling comment, you also don't know how the government works.
The list of Obama lawlessness would take a megabyte of typed text at a minimum.
What you described is the grey area between Congress making the law and POTUS implementing the law. But that's not lawlessness. If it was, Congress would have impeached and removed Obama from office already. And Bush II, Clinton I, Bush I, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, etc.
It doesn't defend your false claim, it just makes it look silly. Is that what you meant when you said it? No, obviously not. Fail.
People look at the world in black and white. I see shades of grey. I'm a great believer in exceptions, and never rule them out. If this makes me look silly to you, so what?

And then they went and made invisible whitespace a fundamental syntactic part of their language.
I have the invisible whitespace set to a dark grey in my IDE. ;)
My MacBook is from 2006 and the last major rebuilt of my gaming PC is from 2007. I'm looking for replacements in the near future.

So Kik has a trademark on both Kik the IM App and Node.js?

Recall that trademark owners are required to protect their trademark.
That's only relevant if Kik has a JavaScript library. AFAIK, they do not. It's just another patent troll overreach.
Kik is one letter short of being kike (a racist name for a Jewish person). How brilliant.

The guy spoke up and no one wanted to listen.

There was a a "product" and a "sale".
The product was the first teacher in space. The sale was the State of the Union address by President Ronald Reagan. According to various reports, Reagan wanted to chat with her while she was in orbit on national television. NASA and the administration categorically denied that the launch was tied to the speech.
I'm not sure where all the hate comes from.

The Court wasn't on the edge on this, and has never gone back and forth.
Here's a list of early Supreme Court decisions that a later Supreme Court overruled.

I don't think you actually read what you were fixing.
Apple adopted many technologies that later came out for the PC. That's called being a leader, not a follower.
I like the ASCII goatse better. :P

But they are required to at least implement the law. They take an oath that it be faithfully executed.
What makes you think that Obama haven't faithfully executed his oath?
