It's not different from what pip install or gem install do by default. A mature Haskell project such as hledger has probably a few hundred of transitive dependencies, so you won't be able to install them individually by hand. You

Don't compete on the price then. Compete on something else, like the working conditions. The author describes how they had to drive 50 miles every day, use the corporate laptop (or install shady software on their own one), not get a re

I've long been curious how exactly they determine the "registered domain", and your comment made me finally look for the answer. It looks like they use (and semi-manually maintain) a list of "effective TLDs": https
