Already is a highly corrupted profit machine. I am not against nor in favor of the proposed change. If EUFA is against is because they felt they are not being favored, it is not in favor of the sport.

Why do you want to selfhost it? I just use https://github.com/Exafunction/windsurf.vim in NeoVim like a super-autocomplete.

I use Codeium in NeoVim and yes I find it very helpful. Of course, is not 100% error free, but even when it has errors most of the time it is easier for me to fix them than to write it from scratch.

I'm doing https://bialet.dev a web framework for simple web apps with idea to get back to have a fully static HTML first, and then you code the dynamic part.

It's based on the Object-Oriented scripting language Wren, it's fully integrated with SQLite, and it has a sort of JSX for the HTML (it's actually strings and interpolations, being part of the language).

You can run PHP in GitHub with the GitHub Actions to generate a static HTML site hosted in GitHub Pages.

So you can edit your HTML push and have a simple script to clean it before publishing it.

You can copy my blog is very simple and is generated with PHP

I've seen plenty of job posts in the US with PTO. It works the same as having a minimum wage and other workers' rights.

Brazil is also a huge place. The European Union is also a huge place.

Yes, that's a good argument for Americans. For non-Chinese, non-Americans, TikTok is not different from any other social media app.

We (Argentinians) save in USD for the last 50 years, at least.

Argentinian here. I agree with almost everything in this article. Except for

> high-inflation Argentina has almost no mortgage industry.

Real state is 100% dollarized since the late 70s [1]. It is not just about inflation because you can have adjusted interest rates [2]. We don't have mortgages because of the government currency exchange restrictions, and also our salaries didn't adjust as much as the inflation rates.

Duolingo is great for me as a complementary tool of formal education.

Another native speaker here. I disagree with most of you.

When I was a kid I played a Captain Tsubasa NES game that was completely in japanese. I have no idea of the meaning of the Kanji characters I choose but I know pretty well what I was doing in short time. I could play the game through trial and error. So no, you don't need to know actual english to code.

Now, you and me were invested. We want to code and we were willing to learn how to code even without knowing what was the meaning of the english words we use. Just like the way I played that game. A lot of people is learning how to code like they learn basic math. They are not invested. They know is useful however didn't want to learn it. This tool is good for them.

I still don't like the name and also don't like they don't allow tildes and ñ. I also think scratch.mit.edu is a better tool for people starting to learn how to code.
