(I'm the author of this last repo.)

You are correct that these no longer apply to the most recent Node versions. Crankshaft is still being used in Node <8.3.0.

Crankshaft got totally disabled starting from V8 5.9. Node 8.2.1 uses V8 5.8.283.41, Node 8.3.0 uses V8 6.0.286.52.

I'm pretty sure there is still a big number of projects running on Node <= 8.3.0.

I'll make it clear in this project README though, whenever I find time. :)

Hey! I created this repo, please respect the license?

They are complementary resources, "Optimization killers" helps you avoid pitfalls in practice, "v8-bailout-reasons" tries to document and explain the various Crankshaft bailouts.

Wow. This is an awesome idea, and a very easy one to implement. I'll think about it. :)

I agree with you: github is not suitable for this.

When I created this github repo, it was because stack overflow wasn't suitable for this. Then I created a website (the now defunkt resrc.io) which could pull these kind of lists from github, parse the links, have them tagged in a database, parse the link content, make it searchable, etc.

It still wasn't suitable. And I'm still looking for a suitable way of curating such lists, be it on github or anywhere else.

I'm the author and maintainer of this project, which seems to end up here once a year.

Since I don't want to answer to every post suggesting something, I'll do it here: I know we could do better in terms of curating this content.

I would be very happy to discuss ideas towards the goal of better curation of these lists. Please open an issue on github or shoot me an email!

I also have to say I started this thing 3(?) years ago, and today I have less and less time to take care of it. I closed around 1800 PRs, which means almost 2 per day over the last years. I'm extremely grateful to the contributors helping me maintaining this and I'm glad it's been useful to a couple million people (according to the stats). Should anyone serious want to contribute in a more involved way, please step forward, I could really use some relief. :)

My email is on github, my twitter is in my HN profile.

It wasn't 2500 bucks. The text Switzerland voted on today said something like:

> 1. The Confederation has to implement a basic income.

> 2. This basic income has to be sufficient to live in dignity and participate to public life.

> 3. The basic income amount and financing are regulated by law.

Nothing regarding the exact amount. Swiss people were asked to vote on an idea, not on a specific amount.
