Legislative branch in Brazil never deadlocks. Coalitions are a very natural part of our democracy.

So what?! Nobody is saying otherwise. But PT vastly misrepresents how close it is to fascists and dictators. Love them, but hate to publicize them.

Not really. We don't have an LLM integrated with govbr, and there's a shit ton of things that are still scattered (granted with integrated login), like pretty much all tax agencies, detran etc.

New files are unstaged by default in git. If you’re doing git add -A, that’s on you. There’s nothing wrong with the tool.

Why are all the displays placed at 90°? That seems like bad UX.
That’s not even close to being true.

You know "load bearing" as an expression existed before AI, right?

If it’s easy, where’s the evidence? Nothing you wrote is evidence for anything, at most “educated guesses”.

> Countries without an extensive bureaucracies are all failed state

This is such a ridiculous statement. There’s so many different levels of bureaucracy across the developed and developing world that you can’t really put them all in a single bag.

You’re on for a ride. Set at least 50k on the side for that.
0.5% gross on a 1% margin business (which is most retail) is egregious.
Currency is already managed by the elected government, and every democracy in the world traces electronic transactions. Some (like Italy) forbid cash payments in large sums altogether. So what's the boogieman here?
There’s no guaranteed progress, tho. Opus 5 is a regression.

If my grandma had wheels she would have been a bike. Most of these decisions are made by someone very early on in the process, either a cofounder or an underpaid junior engineer, when the company has zero revenue and no PMF.

It's unrealistic to expect a startup to build a product (or at least it was prior to LLMs generating a lot of boilerplate) with best practices in place.

No it’s not.
It's the municipal IT company, and the dude that did this is a volunteer.

Ok, so you prefer to act like an idiot. Good luck.
That’s an economic concept, not a dig at consumers. It’s well known (hell, there’s a nobel laureate for it) that humans are irrational when it comes to economics.
100% and just based on the cypherpunk origins of this whole thing, this the most likely scenario.
Weirdly, I live in a somewhat rural part of Brazil, and all providers are small players. They’re all offering 1Gi FTTH and are now competing on price. Meanwhile, the closest metro area still suffers with cable internet topping at 600M and low availability.

Some big cities have seen a surge of small providers too, which has been great for consumers.

That said, I dont buy the “natural monopoly” argument at all, especially trying to compare it to water supply.

Re:We replaced Node.js with Bun for 5x throughput on Monday April 06, 2026 @04:46AM (#47658372)
That doesn’t align with my experience. It feels more like a trojan horse. Client and Server rarely (should) share code, and people that are really good at one discipline aren’t that good at the other. Maybe LLMs will change that.

The company in question profits heavily from the open source nature of LibreOffice. They're a big government vendor in Europe, mainly because their codebase is perceived as open source.
Reasons 1-3 could very well be done with ClickHouse policies (RLS) and good data warehouse design. In fact, that’s more secure than a compiler adding a where to a query ran by an all mighty user.

Reason 4 is probably an improvement, but could probably be done with CH functions.

The problem with custom DSLs like this is that tradeoff a massive ecosystem for very little benefit.

Probably both.
