If nobody can read the content of a link then no discussion can take place on HN therefore it shouldn't be on HN. I say ban paywalled articles and stop generating free traffic for these websites that don't want to share informatio

Or just ditch node and write your server in Go. There is no reason to use node server side today, unless that task is specifically javascript related. There is 0 advantage in using nodejs.

Now compare with the tooling, packages, libraries in C++ or Python.

The point is Mozilla previously said FirefoxOS would live on through Internet of Things projects when they discontinued Firefox phones. They are using the exact same PR when shutting down FireFoxOS relative to Gecko. The question is, is Moz

Yeah, the "FirefoxOS for internet of things" speech was complete bullshit. It was obvious. The worst is the lack of honesty from Mozilla.
