GonzaloQuero··on How would you say “She said goodbye too many times before.” in Latin?
It doesn't. "Despidió" is already past tense. That said, "despidiose", while valid, is quite archaic. If it was me, I'd say "se despidió demasiado" or even "se despidió de más"

Edit: Reading the meaning of the song, I'd say "dijo adios demasiadas veces", as it stays closer to the original meaning.

GonzaloQuero··on “Please don't waste maintainers' time on your KPI grabbing patches”
"Key Performance Indicator". I believe the implication here is that some people from Huawei are sending useless patches just to pad their performance values and look better inside the company.
GonzaloQuero··on Catalytic Converter Theft
No, I'm not in favour of abolishing the police. Let me preface with saying that I'm not American, nor I live in the US, also, so this doesn't affect me.

Once again, I'm not in favour of abolishing the police. As I said in my previous message, I'm in favour of reducing the expense on police and instead investing it on social programs.

As I'm not in favour of abolishing, I won't argue your second point.

GonzaloQuero··on Catalytic Converter Theft
By reinvesting the excess of money invested in the police into improving society for people, so that less people need to steal.
GonzaloQuero··on Catalytic Converter Theft
You're making a mockery of the talking points about defunding the police, then asking people to actually spend time debating you. Please, reconsider the way you argue about things.
GonzaloQuero··on Ask HN: Does your employer want you to state pronouns in email signature?
We do that. Takes five seconds, helps everyone feel more included, so it's an easy win.
GonzaloQuero··on Launch HN: Jika (YC S20) – Price A/B Testing for Shopify
I see the value on this. As a very, very bad player, but with some knowledge, it´s a game that rewards heavily the ability to strategize, optimize builds for different, very quick situations, and shows dedication.

Unfortunately, I agree that it´s a poor thing to say in a presentation, as it requires people to actually know the game to understand why that would be good. People who don´t play might just think "what do I care that he's good at a game?"

GonzaloQuero··on Renaming files with mv without typing the name two times
I never understood why most programming languages where so heavy in brackets until I moved to the UK and saw the layout. Then it clicked.
GonzaloQuero··on Ask HN: What are your favorite low-coding apps / tools as a developer?
I agree that it doesn't delegitimize your insistence upon personal privacy, and in fact, I'm in your camp with that, privacy is vital. My issue with the term is that, when you think in historical terms about discrimination, it's people being forced out of places/positions/society because of who they are.

The difference, in this case is that you're not being forced out of participating in conversations because you're, let's say, black. Instead, you, on your own, are opting out of communication channels because of your own beliefs.

GonzaloQuero··on Ask HN: What are your favorite low-coding apps / tools as a developer?
But that's the thing: You CAN agree to the TOS, you just choose to not, unless I'm severely misunderstanding your situation and you're in real, physical danger if you create a Discord account. For the sake of a better argument, can you clarify if you're in danger, or physically unable to create an account, or if it's a privacy choice, please?
GonzaloQuero··on Ask HN: What are your favorite low-coding apps / tools as a developer?
Sorry, but no, you don't get to play a discrimination card here, because if we do, we're almost mocking people who are under real discrimination.

You don't agree with Discord's practices and lack of privacy, something which, by the way, I agree with you, and as such, decide not to use it. They are not discriminating against you, you're the one deciding not to use their service. To me, it sounds the same as if you don't like McDonalds because it's unhealthy, then accuse them of discriminating against you because they won't serve you some lean chicken salad.

I just finished your game, and it was really, really good! I love trippy, timey-wimey experiences!
GonzaloQuero··on Cronopete – A Linux clone of Time Machine
"Pete" seems to work as slang, and it kinda makes sense to me reading the UD explanation, I was just confused by the Chrono part in the original comment.

I'm a Spanish speaker and that does not make much sense to me, but it might mean something in the latin american variants, I guess.
GonzaloQuero··on Svelte Is Unappealing
I've been testing Svelte for a project, and it seems to generate good source maps. In the Firefox Dev Tools, you can just breakpoint on .Svelte files with no issues.

Son of a bitch, how can humanity sink so low with such ease?

GonzaloQuero··on Real-time, in-camera background compositing in The Mandalorian
I believe it's been improved in later versions, as they've focused in these use cases, and there might even be deterministic particles now, but I'm not sure, because I've been out of the VFX market for quite a while.
GonzaloQuero··on Real-time, in-camera background compositing in The Mandalorian
I worked in a somewhat similar project in 2015, though not as complex as this, to build background videos for DotParty, using UE4 for panoramas and then stitching them. One of the hugest issues we found was that, because of this being a game engine, a lot of things are not deterministic, so if we used multiple cards or computers, particles and other environmental effects would not be in sync, and the stitches were glaring.
GonzaloQuero··on OpenAPI 3.0.3 Specification Released
You don't need these clients, though, they're just doing HTTP. Isn't this just a quick way of reducing boilerplate?

Does this have anything at all to do with the article, other than serving as a flimsy excuse to be homophobic?

GonzaloQuero··on Spanish government orders GitHub to take down Tsunami Democràtic repository
This is just a nitpick, but ETA was not the only active terrorist group in Spain. Catalonia also had Terra Lliure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_Lliure)
GonzaloQuero··on Spanish government orders GitHub to take down Tsunami Democràtic repository
I've been living out of Spain for the last three years, but these kinds of things make me think that we're going back to the "everything's ETA" years.
GonzaloQuero··on Spanish government orders GitHub to take down Tsunami Democràtic repository
Terrorism is also a quick way of instilling fear in Spain, as most people around 30 years old still remember the times when we had three active terrorist groups, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're using it just to spark those feelings in voters. After all, there's another election coming in two weeks.

GonzaloQuero··on Spain jails Catalan separatist leaders, protesters take to streets
Great explanation, thanks! I would be pretty sad if the catalan language disappeared, because I've always liked its sound (my grandfather was from Mahon, so he'd speak it every now and then).
