I don't know any. Maybe I just have a better social circle than most. Or maybe this is a fake number. There are not as many people preordering this clearly fake device, instead this is just another way to launder money.

Ghostty is an example of a program that gives you a bunch of different icons to choose from and an easy way to customize it even further.

I don't know any other

Same here. My big purchase for Black Friday last year was an OLED TV.

This year was prescription glasses.

Outsourcing of software dev to India and support to Latin America. Paying pennies and charging high fees. They get contracts to all sorts of big companies like telecoms and manufacturers

As usual buzz words mean little to nothing.

The goalpost is always moving.

Definitions change to fit the narrative each one is trying to push at the time.

This link is dead already. Not sure if this is correct, it truly is confusing.

New comment by dudus in "Ask HN: Has anyone else been unemployed for over two years?"

dudus — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 21:42:24 +0000

Also unemployed for the last 3 years after a layoff. Partially on purpose because I felt I needed a pause to recharge but I kept extending because money was not a problem due to stonks going up.

I learned react, go. Played videogames and had a child. Things are going well.

Part of me is afraid that too much time off the market will make me not fit for the workforce anymore but tbh I feel like my mental health really needed this.

Now I'm faced with a dilemma. Go back to my home country where I probably could retire now at 40 or stay here and try to get back to work. Trump administration has been making my decision easier by the day.

Pixel phones are rarely full price. Right now you can get it on Google Fi for $450.

They run promos around the clock. iPhones OTOH are never discounted.

Not sure what you are on about. Adding an HTTP header to a request is one of the easiest things to do.

Mercado Pago is closer to PayPal than PIX. I'd say it's a generation behind Google Pay/Apple Pay.

New comment by dudus in "OpenAI to buy AI startup from Jony Ive"

dudus — Wed, 21 May 2025 18:25:07 +0000

First Windsurf and now this. OpenAI is spending billions like there's nothing else to use this money for while being seemingly cash strapped for model training since they already signaled more investment rounds would be needed to remain competitive. They're trying to become too big to fail before they have a moat which won't work well.

It's a fork of Django. It says clearly on the docs.

I think this is actually the best way to zero an array in place. The other option is using foo.splice(0,foo.length)

foo = []; Will reassign the reference but other pointers can still have the array.

foo.length=1 will remove all elements but the first.

New comment by dudus in "AMC Theatres will screen a Swedish movie 'visually dubbed' with the help of AI"

dudus — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 02:08:24 +0000

As someone that grew up in a Latin America country watching dubbed movies my whole life I welcome this technology. Dubbed movies are usually terrible with subpar performances and recycled voices.

It sucks it will kill a large field for actors, but AI has the capacity to be much better with voices and performances that mimic the actors.

This won't stop the big ones, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Perplexity, or even the Chinese Govt. But it will make it harder for new entrants.
