I can compare it to Brazilian Pix. I use both extensively. INTERAC is like the beta version of Pix (which is basically the same as the Indian system in the article). Pix works via email, CPF (a person's "SIN" number, which is

For me it was when I was able to complete a task that involved a lot of pieces outside of my normal daily flow. I started as a full stack co-op, but 95% of the work was React. Then we wanted to implement Cypress to do fully E2E testing. Tha

Same thing happened with me and music. Granted, I was a teenager and nothing too serious, but loved writing some songs, getting known songs in new arrangements. It naturally progressed into forming a band, then we started doing small concer

I love it and ended up using it a lot more than I expected (and a lot more than I used the Xbox Series X and PS5 that I bought a little bit before). Something about how quickly you can turn the device on and off and just start playing reall

That is what happens, at least locally and temporarily. Some of the people I know that have been laid off mid-2022 and end-2022 and still haven't found another tech job have been driving for Uber, delivering for Doordash, doing cleanin

I use TinkerTool to remove most of the animations from macOS, which makes it feel much snappier. That one, unfortunately, I haven't been able to disable. Which is weird, because the launchpad page switching animation can be disabled an

That is going to be interesting, but not in the positive sense of the world. A lot of tech workers affected by the rounds of layoffs last year are still struggling to find other jobs, specially the most junior ones. I've been personall

This is amazing news! Our phones now have so much critical stuff that being able to have a backup for more dangerous situations without losing contact with everyone is very important. In dangerous places like Brazil, it stresses me to no en

Just to be clear: not everyone on the streets of a rich neighbourhood is rich. This is just where they go to try to commit those crimes. Actually some of those bad guys get so frustrated when they end up snatching someone that is not rich t

I think that the risk part is relative. I've been robbed 8 times in 30 years in Brazil. From having my watch stolen at 14 by someone with a broken glass to the carjack I talked about previously. My family and close friends, for the mos

Just a couple of notes: Pix is not an app but a platform (like INTERAC in Canada). It works with most banks and most people with bank account now have it. Not only that, it is not just a QR app. You can send money to any key, that can be: -

I tend to agree with this as well. In my own experience, dealing with software written with "forced collaboration" (meaning bringing more than 1 developer just for the sake of saying it was done by a team) usually results in more

I already spend 8 to 12 hours a day in that "keyboard and mouse" position for work... I ended up never playing any PC games (other than a few Civ games here and there) because of that. The Steam Deck is great because you can play

I have one and I got to say: I'm blown away. After I got one, I 100% one game (Vampire Survivors), am close to another one (Hades) and have been playing here and there almost every day. I bought both a PS5 and an Xbox Series X after 20

Ruby on Rails course from Pragmatic Studio. By the time I took that course, I was already reading tutorials, books, practising. But still felt like I was mostly copy/pasting things instead of understanding. I purchased the course, by f

I think this is key. If you see it as another project, and then you see other things as entertainment and the things you do to relax, it feels like there isn't enough time. I always envy those people that find true entertainment and en

As an "ex" lawyer, you can see some pretty blunt sentences wrapped within otherwise "polite" and formal language in lawsuits... But this... This actually reads like a thriller. Very interesting (and refreshing) to see th

Same in Brazil. WhatsApp outages become the main national news when they happen, because it became so fundamental in everyday's life. It is not just people talking to each other, several business rely almost completely in WhatsApp arou

I think that specific part is meant more to be read as "consume as much energy as an app running on your MacBook", not "you can stake your ETH in your notebook".

As many have already pointed out, I was one of those that started my developer carrer by using Rails + Heroku from tutorials and bootcamp. To this day, I still haven't found a solution that works as easily as that Rails + Heroku duo di

I've been doing the same. Usually I stay 2-3 months in each before running out of stuff. Unless you need to watch the viral stuff as soon as they are released and people start talking, this is more than fine.

Black Fraude We still use the first part from English, but the second is Fraud. Which is almost the same as the English word, but phonetically it is closer to how Brazilians say Black Friday. It is almost the same, though. Black Fraud is a

Totally understandable, but that has ship has probably sailed a while back. Trying to fight this now is very likely a losing battle.

As an ex-lawyer (though not in the US), I know this is a common case. When taken individually, it looks absurd that a company would do such a thing when it is obvious that it is an economic loss. In reality, though, most companies just look

I understand your point, but having worked with Rails and now working on a React + Flask app, Next.js is the closest thing to Rails we have so far. And, having worked on a Rails + React app a few years back, I can safely say that is about a

You are not the only one. I bought one, really excited to replace my 2014 Macbook, but the design won't be what I like the most, I'm sure. For me, it somehow already feels dated. The black background on the keyboard and the "

Agreed. I love podcasts, on my podcast app. I'm really disappointed how Spotify is buying several big podcasts and moving to their platform exclusively. I tried to listen to a Science Vs episode the other day, and now my Spotify is alm

Same story for me. I used RescueTime for a long time, but it felt weird. Also switched to QBserve after a while and it's been great. RescueTime has more features, for sure (at least it did before), but these days, it is just too much e
