Isn't that only a problem if you are only invested in the US? There exists ETFs that are invested in multiple developed countries, such as index funds that track the MSCI World.

When you’re trying to run a quick script or just want a “playground” environment where you can test your code, it holds you back. For example: I’m making a web app with Svelte in TypeScript and I’m trying to test a part of its code. To do t

They chose for a decentralised package management system whereas Node has a centralised one. A tradeoff as you mentioned is that you can't just take down malicious packages. I'm personally not too concerned with this because of th

Deno has kinda solved it for the server side, but not for the client side.

To me, it sounds more like they have lived a European life, not a sheltered life. Outside of the UK, there aren’t any European countries I know of that use e.g. credit cards on a daily basis. We are taught to avoid taking on debt and are fi

imihajlov.com would cost around 10 USD per month and as another reply mentioned, static site hosting is free. I guess it's a bottomless pit but it's "only" 10 USD and it's nice to have.

Well yeah, but bank transfers serve a fairly different purpose than debit cards.

True, it should be plenty for the vast majority of projects. But it's still an advantage Cloudflare has, albeit a fairly insignificant one.

To put this into perspective a little, Belgian income tax is 40% after 23000 euros (which is now 23k dollar) and 50% after 43000 euros. So the issue here is the middle and even lower class being hit with incredibly high taxes.

SEPA (instant) transfers between European banks are, as the name suggests, instant. There are also no transaction fees for the users of these transfers. e.g. all major Belgian banks support SEPA instant, so transfers between KBC <-> B

The program isn't even publicly available yet. How can you conclude that it provides little over VS Code? And why does it matter that it's not open source?
