I was hoping this would be a way of penalising developers who add ridiculous numbers of dependencies.
Feature request! Could this automatically figure out which country the package is from, then impose the at-that-time current tariff? And maybe work out whether the dev is in USA or outside.
A best effort is fine! (Actually, mid effort is probably better; more true to the source)
There should be a method to impose base tarrifs of 10% by default on all packages. Even if you are not importing non-existent packages from the penguin Islands.
The issue tracker + pull requests are also worth browsing: https://github.com/hxu296/tariff/issues
I don't have a horse in the white house race. I'm not even american, so my voice don't count here. But I wish developers would refrain from using the languages tooling to voice political opinions. At least this package I can ignore... but the last time I used npm my terminal looked like both a blend of a protest march and a craigslist page, completely drowning the relevant informations.
oh boy I was thinking of doing something like this for the lolz but I genuinely didn't knew what it meant to put tariff in programming.
The author however has it figured out.
What an amazing job to create something so mematic I think. A perfect blend of politics and programming.
Because those packages are cheating us.

tariff.set({
"numpy": -100
})What is #mipa?
Well.. this might not be as silly as it seems..
I feel I need this for node....
I am going to be so much more productive now that I'm incentivized to code everything from scratch.
