One thing you don't see in Brazil is traffic police or bureaucrats asking for petty bribes, something which is quite common in neighbouring countries. Corruption is a problem for sure, but I think incompetence and lack of initiative ar

Lag is one little detail that I find lacking in Streaming Replication. If there was no transaction in the last n seconds, it's going to tell you that lag is n s. Oracle's Dataguard will tell there's no lag, because the databa

My grandparents' village has been growing, but only because it has become a sleeper town for Aveiro (and maybe Porto - there's a train station nearby). Portugal is such a great place to live, it just lacks reasonably paying jobs.

In Brazil the vocabulary changed a lot from the 80s onward too. I was used to reading everything in English, so Brazilian computer books and magazines would always read strange to me. Then in the 90s everything just moved to American vocabu

I'm pretty sure you can make a mistake filling out a GRU. You have to fill in the destination and I bet this is where somebody made a mistake. I'm also sure it will take some time and patience to get it sorted.

It's quite similar to my Grandad's Spica ST600 (started production in 1964). They both had a leather case, too.

When I was in school, I would use an Epson LX80 to print a stencil for a Mimeograph. I would remove the tape so that it would hit the stencil harder. I still have the printer in a box. It's all yellowed out. Oh, the memories...

Which highlights how stupid the war was. Argentina should have invested in a better relationship with the islands. They would all be speaking Spanish by now.

There's a problem worldwide that farmers have an incentive to boycott environmental legislation. If nothing goes wrong, they earn more cash, if they fail, they get bailed out. So they want to farm every last inch of nature. Of course t

It wasn't at all popular at uni, but one my teachers did use it and that's how I got to know it. Her use case was to write visualization programs in C/C++ and then have Tcl/Tk as the GUI with buttons, inputs, etc.

jq is the first thing I thought of. I'd certainly add a bash solution to this comparison. Maybe as a daemon to exclude the startup cost.

Capitalism started by putting up fences around land to kick people out and keep sheep in. It has been putting fences around everything it wants and IP is one such fence. It has always been about protecting the powerful. IP has had ample sup

Are they willing to pay for a skyscraper at least? I find that a lot of people expect to pay for a shed and get a skyscraper that has no maintenance cost.

Public transportation is also cheaper than building more and wider roads, but I'm not sure it's straightforward to sell this idea. In the Americas most people are still fixated on owning a car. In political debates in my city, pub

I visited Uruguay every year in the 1980s and 90s. There were tons of old cars and trucks. My great-uncle had an English car from the 1930s which he still drove. They have almost all disappeared. My most recent trip was in 2023 and I only s
