静态网站悖论
个人网站的两种不同实现方式:一种是复杂的内容管理系统(CMS),另一种是简单的静态 HTML 文件。文章指出,尽管大多数普通用户倾向于使用复杂的解决方案(如 WordPress),但实际上,只有少数专业软件工程师能够选择更简单的静态网站。

前两天刚好听朋友说 square space 已经涨到了近乎搞笑的 $25 月费,做不用来盈利的个人博客实在难以 justify。这篇文章中吐槽得很在点子上:
normal users are stuck with a bunch of greedy clowns that make them pay for every little thing, all while wasting ungodly amounts of computational power to render what could have been a static website in 99% of cases.
普通用户被困在了一群屁大点功能都要收费的贪婪小丑手里,与此同时浪费着人神共愤额度的算力来渲染 99% 的情况下都可以作为静态的网站。
当然原文中说的“只有少数专业软件工程师才能选择更简单的静态网站”略微夸张并不认同,因为静态站至少是比 self-host 的动态 CMS 少太多维护了。我的 backlog 里也一直躺了篇安利新手用静态站并拉踩 WP 的文,不过网上这种文已经有无数了也还是拦不住前赴后继往各种 CMS 的坑里冲的新手,觉得写了又有什么意义呢就还搁着没写。(当然迟早会像以前反复造的无数轮子一样被废话欲战胜的 but not today)

🚀 Japanese Companies Face Challenges Amid Rising Oil Prices
Japanese companies are entering the earnings season with a pessimistic outlook as crude oil prices surge following the unsuccessful U.S. peace talks with Iran. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting the impact of geopolitical tensions on the global oil market. The failure of negotiations has led to increased uncertainty, affecting various sectors in Japan that rely heavily on energy imports. As oil prices climb, businesses are bracing for higher operational costs, which could impact their profitability in the coming months. The situation underscores the interconnectedness of global events and their influence on national economies.

🙊 “On.. went.. on..” – we are learning to distinguish swear words from terms from the crypto world!
Cryptocurrencies are an unusual and challenging market. Over the years, Cryptans have invented many words to describe what is happening around them. And we have compiled a dictionary of the most important of them for you:
➖#Wallets are a key vault for different cryptocurrencies. There is no crypt on the wallet itself, it is located in the blockchain and is assigned to your addresses. Wallets can be "cold" and "hot".
➖#DeFi – decentralized finance. Such crypto projects do not have a specific “manager” or “supervisor”. Interactions between users are managed by smart contracts.
➖#Smart contract - algorithms in the blockchain that control user actions and execute commands and conditions embedded in them.
➖#Proof-of-Work (POW, proof of work) is an algorithm for confirming transactions in the blockchain (achieving consensus) using the computing power of its participants (mining)
➖#Proof-of-Stake (POS, proof of stake) – all transactions in the blockchain are confirmed using cryptocurrency in the wallets of participants
➖#Staking – placement of POS-blockchain tokens in a wallet for a reward. The POS system needs coins to function. A more convenient and effective form is liquid staking.
➖#Gas – payment for transactions on the blockchain. When the activity on the network increases, so does the gas charge.
➖#Fork – updating/changing the blockchain: its technologies and rules
➖#Mixers are platforms that mix tokens of different users, hiding the history of transactions and previous owners.
➖#Bridges (cryptomostes, cross-chain bridges) is a service for transferring crypts from one blockchain to another. Without them, different blockchains and crypto projects cannot communicate with each other.
➖#NFT is a unique digital certificate confirming the ownership of a digital object: anything, but most often a song, a picture, an object from a game.
➖#Stablecoins are coins backed by reliable real assets (dollars, government bonds), and therefore stable in price: 1 to 1 with the dollar.
➖#Memcoins are often coins created “for fun". They are popular among speculators, but some coins “grow up” and try to create full-fledged projects.
➖#Profitability farming is earning money by providing your tokens for trading to other users in liquidity pools on a decentralized crypto exchange.
➖#Airdrop – free distribution of crypto project coins for user activity: try out the project, tell about it on social networks
