You lost it at the far left/right part. Lula is far left only for the people who believe in the fight the communism plot. For the majority, he is much more aligned with the center, so called “centrão”, so much that neither the leftists are pleased with him anymore.
Not to mention that soon, it will be able to pay in installments using Pix, that’s called Pix Parcelado.
I love this! I was about to start using Substack for a personal/professional blog and I was very concerned about the structure they "force" you into. I don't want to socialize in the way they want me to. I just want to write my stuff down, and perhaps help someone, but at the end, all I want is a place to share things with myself in a more elaborated way. Looking at it now!

I will take the opportunity to ask if there’s a good way to read PDFs using phone. How terrible it is!
Just a small feedback… I have switched to the reader mode because the font used is very challenging to read for me.
Love it! The only thing that was a “meh” for me was using pipe for comments. It’s the only thing that I found to be unintuitive, which I very much like to see whenever I’m looking at a new language.
Re:Gitlab is down on Monday January 31, 2022 @11:02AM (#30149480)
I noticed that too. Pretty confusing to read "Operational" with a green background and "System Wide Outage" on the left side.

Oh my, this is a really great suggestion. I never heard about the emergency bypass before. I'll check it out. Thank you
Re:New Laptop: Thinkpad P14s on Friday August 06, 2021 @12:20PM (#28089290)
The wifi issue was pretty much what made me give up on the Thinkpad and go back to the Macbook, where I can set up my work environment pretty quickly and not have to deal with other random issues…

If you're not making a lot of writes, that may be good approach since AFAIK the counts will only be updated after the table is ANALYZE'd

Two Scoops of Django and the Django Tutorial itself are amazing. I highly recommend both.

The ability to customize the type of auto-created primary keys is also one step towards fixing one of the long-standing issues in Django: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/56

Re:Fernando Pessoa’s Disappearing Act (2017) on Monday July 20, 2020 @05:14PM (#23901984)
I'm native speaker and I'm currently reading Grande Sertão: Veredas.

The beginning of the book (first 100 pages) is really hard, mostly because it use words that are not commonly used nowadays but also because some of the words are written as spoken. Some people like to read it loud because of this. I've tried myself for some paragraphs and it really made sense to me :)

Re:Browsh for text-based internet browsing (2018) on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @11:48AM (#21515569)
Any major websites doing this well? The impression I have is that current technologies are not making it easier for Lynx to survive. In the other hand, I see people that can actually(?) browse without Javascript enabled, which makes me curious about the current state of things.
Re:MacBook Pro Keyboard Drives Me Crazy on Wednesday August 28, 2019 @08:11PM (#20825414)
To me the, the worst thing with MacBook keyboards is when keys start to fade out[1]. I really hope they could do something about it

I'm using the web archive to compare:

I'd be happy to pay for premium feature, like extra privacy controls and no ads

edit: clarifying, I'd love to be able to not let people know when I'm online

Those asserts seem like a pre-Jupyter form of narrative.
> 4) That said, you should know how to write code that isn't super slow and with a data model that isn't insane. You should also know how to articulate that, since as a Senior dev, you WILL be mentoring junior devs, and communication is not optional.

I agree, but this should be a clear point. You shouldn't be overengineering something unless you really have to.

Re:Python 3.7: Introducing Data Classes on Wednesday April 18, 2018 @06:40PM (#16871892)
Yeah, you're right. You just cannot overwrite __init__:

> AttributeError: Cannot overwrite NamedTuple attribute __init__

Re:Python 3.7: Introducing Data Classes on Wednesday April 18, 2018 @01:15PM (#16869076)
Also, AFAIK you cannot add methods to NamedTuple, making it much less flexible than data classes.
Re:How to write an IRC bot on Monday March 12, 2018 @09:49AM (#16568100)
mIRC scripts is what you meant, right? That's basically how I started in programming.

One of the things that certainly contributed for keeping my interest in programming was the quick feedback. No need for confusing setups, just open the editor and start doing something. I know a lot of people that started this way and are good programmers nowadays.

Re:Geany – Lightweight IDE for Linux and Windows on Saturday March 10, 2018 @12:47PM (#16559383)
I feel really nostalgic about Geany. That was my favorite editor back in the time, before I switched to Vim almost 10 years ago. It was pretty solid already. Good to see it's doing well after all these new/modern editors started to pop up.

Re:Dogecoin just broke $2B on Monday January 08, 2018 @09:27AM (#16096884)
"what coins X, Y and Z are doing"

That's something I've been trying to see in some coins. A lot of them just promise a lot of stuff and when you look at their repositories, it either:

1. no real stuff being developed, just minor styling updates or replacing "bitcoin" with "x coin"

2. no activity in 2, 3 years

I'm pretty sure there are good projects and requires little investigation to detected possible scam coins.
