Show HN: The NPM module under 400MB that exports a null (github.com) 8 points by mickael-kerjean 8y ago ↗ HN
[–] mgliwka 8y ago ↗ Possible improvement: Zip a file containing 400MB of null bytes and extract it into the module using an postinstall hook. Then use those nullbytes and only if they are all nullbytes return 'null'.
[–] hjnilsson 8y ago ↗ Almost the entirety of the payload comes from the `material-design-icons` package. That is a staggering 373 MB on disk over 97815 files.
