danillonunes··on Give Django your time and money, not your tokens
Beggars in fact can be choosers. If I give a beggar a rotten sandwich he can look at it and say "nah, I'm good". He can even be less polite and call me names for trying to give him food that is not good to eat. Why would I do that anyway? Well, maybe because I'm trying to build an image that I am a charitable person but I don't want to actually have the effort and costs of producing for him a fresh sandwich. In this scenario why people would take the beggars side.
danillonunes··on Google just gave Sundar Pichai a $692M pay package
Can't risk hiring an amateur and he accidently succeeded.
danillonunes··on The Nobel Prize and the Laureate Are Inseparable
This would only take away credibility from Bolt. Specially for something that has so little subjectivity as "running fast". I this really happened the most likely case is that Bolt joined a cult and got brainwashed to believe the cult leader is faster than him.

Make it sound more empowering:

"Let Copilot decide where you want to go today!"

danillonunes··on Put SSH keys in .git to make repos USB-portable
Yes, you can run in your local git repo:

  git config core.sshCommand "ssh -i /home/your_user/.ssh/your_custom_key"
(I believe replacing "/home/your_user" with "~" works too)

I use this all the time as my main key is ed25519 but some old repositories only support rsa keys.

The sshCommand config is, as the name says, the literal ssh command that is used by git when operations that call a remote with ssh (usually push/pull). You can also put other ssh options in there if you need.

Another option to achieve the same effect is to setup directly in your ~/.ssh/config:

  Host your_custom_alias
    HostName git.domain.com
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/your_custom_key
then instead of "git clone git@git.domain.com:repo.git" you clone it with "git clone your_custom_alias:repo.git" (or you change the remote if is already cloned). In this case you don't need to have to change the git sshCommand option.
danillonunes··on I don't care how well your "AI" works
> My rate of thinking is faster than typing, so the bottleneck has switched from typing to thinking!

Unless you're neuralinking to AI, you're still typing.

What changed is what you type. You type less words to solve your problem. The machine does the conversion from less words to more words. At the expense of less precision: the machine can do the conversion to the incorrect sequence of more words.

danillonunes··on Brain has five 'eras' with adult mode not starting until early 30s
I think it's weird having an arbitrary minimum age to be president. I would probably never vote for someone in their 20s anyway, but I don't think there should be a legal barrier. In my country (Brazil) it's the same age, but we usually just copy US in think kind of policy. I wonder how common it's in the rest of the world.
danillonunes··on X.com is gonna snitch you out to the public if you use a VPN
They don't care about being American. They want the sweet American dollars that X is paying for engagement. They figured out the MAGA crowd is the easiest to engage, so that's where they go.
danillonunes··on I analyzed 180M jobs to see what jobs AI is replacing today
Seems like when the security market is low on the white hat side, it's high on the black hat one. Security people just need to learn to adapt.
danillonunes··on Animals could easily be talking to us if we tried
And of course there's AI!
danillonunes··on User ban controversy reveals Bluesky’s decentralized aspiration isn’t reality
> In the AT protocol, your identity isn't tied to a server.

It kinda is. Your identity is in the hands of whoever controls the PLC Directory. You can argue this is better than having your account and identity on the same place, but it still a third party that you depends on.

danillonunes··on Why I gave the world wide web away for free
Payment Request API is a thing and it looks kinda nice, except apparently nobody cares about it.

Curl's case was related with its bug bounty, so when involving money the incentives are different.

Beeminder does exactly that!

danillonunes··on Hosting a website on a disposable vape
GCP outbound data is limited to 1GB/mo and I believe by default it doesn't have any cap, it will just charge for additional traffic with the credit card you are required to enter in order to get a free tier account. So I would be careful publishing anything with it.
danillonunes··on Show HN: rm-safely – A shell alias that moves files to trash instead of deleting
I don't know exactly what's the logic but sometimes I need to confirm a rm operation with an "y". Maybe cp and mv should have the same behavior for destructive operations.
danillonunes··on RSS is awesome
People were literally XSSing themselves and the worst someone did was a funny prank. Those were simpler times.
danillonunes··on Petition to stop Google from restricting sideloading and FOSS apps
FEBRABAN is an association that represents the banks at the federal level, but it's not a government entity.
danillonunes··on GPT-5 leaked system prompt?
Lyrics are probably their biggest headache for copyright concerns. It can't output a pirated movie or song in a text format and people aren't likely asking Chat GPT to give them the full text of Harry Potter.

Next level epic is hand your resignation letter right after you get unbanned. "My job here is done."

He tried that, but due to iPhone mini he accidentally only half of the cat.
danillonunes··on Cops in [Spain] think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer
I've seen a lot of young people wearing the silver and gold versions of it. I think there's a vintage trend, just like with the cyber shot cameras, but they're not really full committed to the black rubber ones.
danillonunes··on macOS Icon History
I understand free-shaped icons can sometimes be really bad designed and look really shitty, but one of Apple's distinguished features was their high-quality icons. It was even transmitted to other software companies that target Apple devices. You could tell with high confidence when a software was made specifically for Mac and when it was ported just looking at the icon.

Now everything is this sad rounded cornered square.

danillonunes··on Don’t use “click here” as link text (2001)
The problem here is that the screen reader will just read the link text and not the contract around it. In this case, the correct examples proposed by W3C will read just as "Amaya”, which are almost as unhelpful.
danillonunes··on YouTube: Robotic translation annoys users and cannot be turned off
I also use an extension to stop automatically playing a video when I open it and another to stop automatically opening the next recommended video when the current one ends.
danillonunes··on Swarms of robots could go up your nose, melt the mucus and clean your sinuses
I hope they do the nose first.
danillonunes··on A new PNG spec
I agree with the point you're trying to make, but your examples are terrible. Music industry doesn't have too much to do to help deaf people. It's not like they're deliberately making deaf-inaccessible music instead of relying on the old good deaf-accessible music formats.

(Also, the parent comment's example is also not so good because as someone else pointed just because the top 25% websites are serving webp it does mean they're not serving alternative formats for those who does not support it, as this is quite trivial to setup)

I paid like $2 to rent a movie about three years ago and didn't watched it entirely and boy it still hurts.
