josemando commented on Show HN: If you have over 99 tabs in Firefox mobile, you will get an infinity    · Posted by u/aio2

The infinity symbol doesn't bother me; what I don't like is that the information about the number of open tabs isn't available anywhere else. As a result, I have to run a script on the browser console on my desktop.

Also, I'm not sure if it's just my old iPhone X, but I've noticed that when I have 100+ tabs open, the app crashes more frequently.

In Brazil, we have PIX, a way to make instant transfers 24/7 that is always free for individuals. It was launched in Nov/2020 as last month alone it had 1.8B transactions on its network.

It's really ubiquitous right now, as you can pay pretty much anything using it.

[edit] for those who like numbers, here are the stats from the federal bank (ps: it's in Portuguese): https://www.bcb.gov.br/estabilidadefinanceira/estatisticaspi...

josemando commented on Ask HN: Why has quality of YouTube reduced drastically?    · Posted by u/Exorust

Recommendation system is long time broken. I am subscribed to 100+ channels and check 10 channels on a weekly basis, meaning I watch all the new videos these creators make. So that means I want the new stuff from the frequented ones on my front page ASAP. Yet, it's a hit and miss. From the remaining 90 channels I never get anything recommended. Why?

If I subscribe to a new channel it gets recommended like hell, then it forgets about it.

BUT! Totally irrelevant things that I never watch, is kept on my front page for weeks. Like it wants me to check it or wants me to mute it, but fuck them I'm not giving them any more metrics. If I clear the fingerprints and block the acquiring of these metrics the front page gets filled with new, interesting content. Who the hell understands this? I have also observed that if you have an adblocker enabled it gives you trash all the time.

When the absolutely disgusting, braindead, bottomfeeding "depp vs amber" nightmare was ongoing I had to "mute" the same channels multiple times and then 55 others, because it just slams it into my face. Watch it, watch it, you must see this muck.

The topic of my fav channels represent... I get nothing relevant from them. :DDD

The shorts... was the pinnacle of YTs innovation. :DDDD

Goog is all about control now. Look innovation for somewhere else... well... if you can find any, lemme know........

You can't do shit with godzilla and now he does whatever he wants.

Honesty question here, but how do you do that?

Does Fossil have a unique or killer feature that makes it a good alternative to git, other than "simpler to use"?

I don't like the monoculture either, but at this point some knowledge of git is an essential skill. In fact pretty much the only chance you have of avoiding git would be to build your own stuff on something else, hire/collaborate only with others who share the same view, and never interact with basically any other open source.

So given some git knowledge is necessary anyway, there are alternatives interfaces to git that solve the simplicity problem, and any other tool is going to have friction (small ecosystem, few integrations, smaller community), why use something else? (I mean this genuinely)

I just don't see the dominance of git changing for the next decade, especially if there's no answer to my first question (for whatever aims to replace it). It's not even like there's git lock-in: it could be replaced, just like SVN was. It's just it doesn't seem like there's compelling reason to, and thus no desire.

I suggest taking a look at https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wiki

I have never used, but I’m interested in trying… maybe some personal project in the future :)

Oh I got it. There is multiple reason that can happen and I called those are Ghosts accounts. There is high chance if you request to GitHub they will grant use it.
josemando · 4 years ago
This is also not working for me on Github, Facebook and Instagram...

I don't think it has anything to do with Ghost accounts, maybe your app has reached some quota limit...

josemando commented on Ask HN: Why do new browsers use Chromium instead of Firefox as their base?    · Posted by u/josemando
gbraad · 4 years ago
The Mozilla rendering engine (gecko) was never meant to be embedded in the same way webkit is. It changed a little with Fennec and firefox. The engine became leaner... Yet still it isn't easy to reuse.

Even spidermonkey, the javascript engine, is never reused as v8.

Different design priciples

josemando · 4 years ago
But aren’t Brave, Edge and Opera based on Chromium instead of only Blink? Am I missing something?
