I used to work with Wordpress a lot, but last time was a couple years ago.

The appeal for the company i was working with was ease of installation on legacy servers (FTP). You would just upload the files, and it worked. No CLI tools, no dependency management, no build tools.

But yeah, security was a big issue. Constant hacks.

I see people asking the creator to add some data about the channels, but i think this is intended to mimic traditional TV, where they didn't have any information other than what the producers put on screen.

That code sample is basically how ISO20022 works, you create a file with instructions to move money from one account to another.

You would need to upload that XML to a bank to actually process the transaction.

There are other formats like NACHA (US only), where you have to generate a text file with a pretty specific format, and upload that, often via sFTP to the Bank's server to process.

I always wondered who is behind these attacks, they don't seem targeted since they do them on random ips.

I did a bunch of Devops a few years ago on a Startup, and whenever i started a new AWS EC2 instance, i started getting request for Wordpress files, and other common CMS files.

I had a work visa, and almost got denied entry two times. They were questioning if i was qualified for the work i was hired to do. I already had my visa renewed two times at that point so i had been to the embassy for interview and document checking already. The CPB guy was being a jerk.

If is the same as for Mexican citizens, the tourist visa is B1/B2, which allows you to do business during your travel. I used to attend company meetings all the time, i just handed a letter to the CBP officer with all the details for my visit, signed by the company's representatives on both sides of the border. It's actually pretty common.

This feels so wrong....

    cookies({ token: '42' }, {
      expires: 100 * 24 * 3600,     // The time to expire in seconds
      domain: false,                // The domain for the cookie
