Could global nuclear war be survivable due to numerous technical issues?


Is this a possibility?

I think it largely depends on how much of the critical infrastructure depends on NPM.

Did you know that following the acquisition of NPM by Microsoft, one of the founders manually uploaded a package for old times' sake?

I think that the uploaded contents didn't in fact match the commit/tag that they appeared to. I could be mistaken, it's been a while and I didn't keep detailed notes on that.

Where do you live? Unless the bombs hits you, it's pretty survivable. Nuclear winter is overhyped https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter#Criticism_and_d... . Anyway, it would not be nice, so please don't try it on Earth.
