miguelxpn··on BYD doubles its Brazil market share to 9.7% a year after opening its local plant
Not OP but also a brazilian with friends that bought BYDs, the ones I talked to about it really like it.

I'd say around 60% of the Ubers I get are BYDs and I'm glad when it's one because that means it's a newer car and it's very comfortable.

miguelxpn··on Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro headed to US, sources say
What a coward.
miguelxpn··on RIP Eric Binnion
This is hitting me hard. I used to work for Automattic and met Eric a bunch of times during our meetups. He was a good one and will be missed. Rest in piece.
miguelxpn··on Automattic's interim CEO and legal chief signed reciprocal severance deals
Original title: Automattic’s interim CEO and legal chief signed reciprocal severance deals during Mullenweg’s brief ouster
miguelxpn··on Matt Mullenweg tells Automattic staff in Slack he's back in control after ouster
Oh, I had no idea. When you said opened I thought you meant founded, my bad!
miguelxpn··on Matt Mullenweg tells Automattic staff in Slack he's back in control after ouster
He bought Pocket Casts.
miguelxpn··on A 25-year-old video patent just expired, ending a legal headache for Linux
If I'm not mistaken they had a telecom infrastructure division at one point.
miguelxpn··on Online clinics and influencers are promoting Cialis as a longevity drug
But the whole point of those pills is that it didn't go soft anymore!
miguelxpn··on Count Binface receives over a quarter of votes in Clacton by-election
Seems like he was a writer for The Thick of It. Fitting.
miguelxpn··on I was recently diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis
I'm glad you got diagnosed and the treatment is working. Sending you virtual hugs!
miguelxpn··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro
Any plans to start shipping to Brazil? I'd be all over this if I could buy one.
miguelxpn··on Ask HN: Share your personal website

miguelxpn··on Steam Machine
The landing page says "Who are we to tell you how to use your computer?" so I'm assuming you'll be able to do whatever you want with it. Similar to the Steam Deck.
miguelxpn··on Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, the end
I can't wait to see what she accomplishes at Intel. She has a very bright future ahead of her!
miguelxpn··on Building MCP servers for ChatGPT and API integrations
I think they have different use cases. MCP is for tool calling, A2A for agents communicating between themselves.
miguelxpn··on David Lynch has died
The third season of Twin Peaks is the best piece of television I ever watched. Rest in peace, you will be missed.
miguelxpn··on Ask HN: Has anyone used Devin for web-dev?
The Primeagen had a stream to test it out where he found a pretty big security problem (that was fixed eventually)

miguelxpn··on Steve's Jujutsu Tutorial
No surprises there. Steve has always been a great writer.
miguelxpn··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (October 2024)
Location: Brazil. Remote: Yes. Willing to relocate: No. Technologies: PHP, Ruby, Python, Elixir, Go Résumé/CV: https://www.miguelxpn.com/resume.html Email: It's in the résumé.

More than 10 years of experience. More focused on backend development. I have strong security skills, in my previous two jobs I found and reported several internal vulnerabilities and in my last job a few public ones (I have some CVEs created from my research).

miguelxpn··on AI-generated thumbnails used to promote 12 Angry Men on Amazon Prime
I am almost sure they use AI to generate subtitles too. Some subtitles have sentences that really look like automatic transcription errors.
miguelxpn··on Ask HN: Is DigitalOcean Kubernetes Services (DOKS) Down?
Yep, we encountered the same problem right in the middle of some critical infrastructural maintenance we were doing. Really frustrating.
miguelxpn··on Is DALL-E 2 ‘gluing things together’ without understanding their relationships?
That book gave me the highest dose of existential crisis I've ever felt. I should probably re-read it.
miguelxpn··on Building a subsea cable to better connect Africa
Interesting, Stephenson later used some of that on the plot of Cryptonomicon.
miguelxpn··on I found and fixed a bug in PHP's standard library
Yeah! Before I started contributing I always thought that I wasn't good enough to even try. When I started I noticed how welcoming the communities usually are and that motivated me to contribute me even more. Nowadays I try to motivate people whenever I can.
miguelxpn··on I found and fixed a bug in PHP's standard library
Good catch! That's indeed the case. Another commit was made where that piece of code was refactored into a function and it returns 1 in case the header is present so strstr isn't being called an extra time in the current code.
