I'm with you up until "the US tried to save Cuba from itself". Castro was an awful dictator but the US embargo not only didn't save Cuba from itself, it made things worse for ordinary Cuban citizens. I wouldn't be p

As a non American who would probably vote for neither of them, Hillary definitely ranks way higher on my internal psychopath detector. The constant fake smiling, cold and calculated question answering, passive aggressiveness, etc. In short,

Hey Wiktor, First, you really shouldn't use forever or pm2 in production. May I suggest you use something like Dokku[0] or Deis[1] (if you are planning to scale to more than one server) to deploy your apps? Dokku is really quick to set

Can anyone ELI5 what it means for an open source project to become an Apache project? Why doesn't Google just push the code on Github?
