Profit is a perverse incentive.
What the hell.
He did donations against same-sex marriage. I see why some people would not want him to be an influential person, myself included.

Also because of how economy works now, interest in Brave translates to the value of its built-in cryptocurrency (BAT) and therefore the economic power of its creator.

I love Bandcamp, they never reply my emails. :(

Nice.

.bashrc:

httpcode () { python3 -c "from http import HTTPStatus; print(HTTPStatus($1))" }

They will probably make Notes seamless and cool inside the twitter app and external links slow and clumsy.
Re:KDE Connect Now Available on iOS on Saturday May 14, 2022 @08:39PM (#31384170)
I use KDE Connect every day. I use it to control the volume and screen brightness of my laptop when it's out of reach and many other things.

The mouse cursor functionality is great and works flawlessly.

Warcraft 2
I honestly don't think HN is the place for JP's childish rants.
Not related to technology but there were two websites where I used to donwload lots of spanish and Basque punk rock. Comando Glaucoma (a private forum), and Yahorake.tk. I miss them a lot.

Re:Id Software Goes After Doomscroll on Saturday November 13, 2021 @10:05AM (#29210227)
What? You can't trademark it. There's a British band called Doom, id/Bethesda/whatever doesn't care.
Brave always looked shady to me. Even inoring that I don't like Brendan for personal reasons. There is something nauseating about using "privacy" and other nice-sounding words to pump your own crypto-currency. I may be misunderstanding things here, I'm open to positive arguments about this.

This is interesting, I'm used to "Acracia" (Spanish) as a synonym of Anarchy. E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81cratas

The spanish version of OP's article is not linked to it but here it is: https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acracia And presents it more or less as a synonym of Anarchy without mention of "lack of will".

oof, Libra translates to Pound(£). Imagine the confusion.

Sounds like Neocities

Just wanted you to know "Drogon" means "Stoner" in spanish.
Re:What If Linus Torvalds Gets Hit by a Bus? (2000) on Monday December 31, 2018 @02:24PM (#18796368)
It also names Miguel de Icaza as a similarly important character, it was in 2000 because gnome, event considering Mono as an important technology nowadays, it's not as significative or critical as Gnome was back then.

Edit: wording.

Re:iPhones are allergic to helium on Wednesday October 31, 2018 @06:37PM (#18349792)
Nice discovery! Now scifi/horror movies can stop using the "I have no reception for no reason" and use helium somewhere in the plot.
I would strongly suggest changing the name. "Ves pene" means something pretty much NSFW in Spanish. Besides that, nice job! Keep it up.
I have a .local_profile script in my project root and added this[1] to my .bash_profile

So, each project has its own set of aliases and utilities in the repo.

It's not the cleanest thing to do, but it works pretty well.

Edit: Formatting.

Yeah, do I have a domain name and used my own domain with gmail. But it sounds volatile to me, if (for some reason) I lose my domain I'd miss a good part of my communications. Thanks for your advice, I'll see what I can do.
Re:Ask HN: What do you consider resume red flags? on Wednesday May 02, 2018 @10:00PM (#16982799)
I normally use an outlook email because I can have username@outlook instead of user.name2392.stuff@gmail, also outlook advertisement is less intrusive.

I'm under the impression that it turns recruiters away, can this be right?

[Edit]: Yes/No is enough, no need to downvote.
