I think the more likely scenario for a MITM attack is to insert malicious scripts or links into the web page, not to fake weather data.

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.

Genuinely curious: does having no speed limit cause more deaths on the road?

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 that, I have to build the app first because TypeScript needs transpiling which in turn needs bundling etc…

Weird attempt at bashing Signal.

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 the following:

1. The default permissions while running a script are stricter than Node's, you get told when your code tries to access your file system or network

2. Code I write for Deno typically uses fewer dependencies than the equivalent code for Node, simply because of how Deno has a good standard library with many web APIs

> the Deno teams stance on security is not so funny

Can you give examples of this?

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 financially risk-averse.

It’s not because RAW exists that people aren’t allowed to criticise post-processing

Correct, I meant per year

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.

> By now, the market has other, more internationally accepted modes of payment.

Hundreds of millions of citizens gain access to instant payments through SEPA. It’s already compatible with the existing banking system Europeans are already used to, i.e. share an IBAN with someone and share money. Which other cheap instant payment methods are there that are available to so many people?
