Mexican workers get a dramatic quality of life improvement. US workers don't have to work for less than market value / cost of living prices. Tens of thousands of US people continue to get cheap cars. Sounds like a great deal.

to be clear, you don't _need_ to do anything locally. It's possible to use static blogs without touching your site and there are lots of competing tools out there that will give you a web front end to your static blog. For example

Don't be afraid to admit ignorance. "I don't know what that means." and "Can you explain that to me?" are two of the most wonderful phrases. I use them regularly and have been programming for over 30yrs. Every

I gotta agree with HelloNurse here. When that kind of money is on the line you set up a production version that ingests real data at real speed, and produces the same output / response but doesn't actually spend / affect any

there is work on C, Go, and Rust versions. It runs in iOS and Android. So, yeah, not so much "tied into node.js". Yes, that's where the majority of the work is, but...

in places with romanized lettering it was long ago determined that this is much more difficult for readers to process. It may be a breath of fresh air for you but for most readers it's difficult to mentally process.

You're right. It's far safer to just download and run a binary you can't inspect than to execute a bash script you can inspect. Doubly so if there's a hash to guarantee the script/binary you downloaded is the one th
