You probably can't get a VISA. Trump really turned the screws to the # of available ones, only 85K H1B last year (200,000 people applied). Might want to wait a year for Biden to fix that.

I think that's a bit cynical. This is the President of the USA we're talking about. His words matter for the sake of history. I believe it was smart to capture a log of his statements. It will be essential to the record. They shou

My first modern framework was VueJS, but everyone was urging me to learn React or Angular. I have too many projects on my plate to learn the last two now that I'm deep into Vue, but I'd really like to hear how the three stack up.

Yes, you're right. That's what makes lock files so important. I think we're past worrying about those wheels/npms/pkgs disappearing from the internet. My concern is more about packages going stale and don't pee

This is such a well-written article: it describes the impetus, it is researched, it has great examples both as code and as output, and it piques interest. In the late 1990's I contracted with an embedded software company to optimize a
