<a href="http://this.how/frontier/nodeEditorExample.opml">A new doc</a> explains, through an example, how my Frontier-based code-writing system for JavaScript works. I started this suite about seven years ago, and have been using it ever since. It allows me to edit my code in an outliner, and use Frontier's scripting ability to distribute the results to S3, GitHub, NPM and pretty much anywhere else I want.

Every day I see articles I'd pay to read from publications I would not subscribe to. They're leaving so much money on the table, and at the same time want us to know how much money it costs to make news. We need to blow this whole sad system up. It somehow has retained all its stupidity through Trump's first term, and most voters still don't know this election is about autocracy. How can we depend on this idiotic elitist superior ridiculous industry to save our asses. Yet they totally control discourse in our political system. End of op-ed.

<a name="a131924"></a>Yesterday I put out a
<a href="http://scripting.com/2020/10/29.html#a210605">call</a> for programs to binge. I got an overwhelming response. But nothing obvious emerged. Some were programs I had already tried, but didn't get far enough into to rate in my BingeWorthy
<a href="http://my.bingeworthy.io/davewiner/">profile</a>. Others were comedies, and I'm just not into them now. Examples of shows I didn't have the energy to watch recently:
<a href="http://bingeworthy.io/tv/?id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.metacritic.com%2Ftv%2Fschitts-creek">Schitt's Creek</a> and
<a href="http://bingeworthy.io/tv/?id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.metacritic.com%2Ftv%2Fthe-good-place">The Good Place</a>, both of which are very good for what they are, but I'm just not in the mood now. I'm thinking I may just re-watch something from the past that I liked and think might be worth a second look. In the meantime, the lists, one on
<a href="https://twitter.com/davewiner/status/1321921170938204167">Twitter</a> and one on
<a href="https://github.com/scripting/Scripting-News/issues/192">GitHub</a> are there for everyone to reference. I also want to add a recommendation algorithm to
<a href="http://bingeworthy.io/tv/">BingeWorthy</a>, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
