So glad Angular is dying off.

Uh, I'm gonna challenge you to give a source on that. Your comment sounds extremely biased towards React and dismissive towards Angular. None of those are dying out, I wouldn't we even say they compete directly.

Brazil is doing a similar bank-agnostic system called PIX. Kinda interesting how in the previous thread where I mentioned it a lot of people were against it because it was "not competitive" while here I'm seeing (mostly) praise for UPI.

IMHO, this is how it should be, a bank-agnostic standard set by the central bank that other services use to connect to the central and with each other. Competition is good? Yes, but not when it's a complete mess.

I'm still sad at how Technorati ended, loved the service back then.

Oh god. I got COMPLETELY derailed by this last month. My girlfriend's son was using my tablet (which is logged on my main Google account) and recently I was being victim of this, and suddenly he asked me "what's a bussy?"

I never logged my account out of an device so fast. Google needs to fix this crap.

I worked at a company last year (specifically their RPA sector) that one of the projects we got was create a "robot" to automate certain tasks within a client.

Later after we delivered it, we learned that project alone was the reason the client cut 700 low level positions. A single "robot" could do in an afternoon what 700 people did in a week. (Was/is a pretty large company.)

The words from my manager still echo in my mind: "If we think of the "ethical" aspect of it, we wouldn't have our own jobs."

It supports some markdown, but I agree, that and a dark mode (I made a really basic one for the Stylish extension) would be the only things I'd accept as a change.

Aside that anything like making the site full of JS for more functions would be a no from me. :-)

Non-American here, I can't be the only one to find the use of "coughing spell" (especially "spell") on a medical setting... Weird. Maybe it's my understanding of the English language and how I perceive that word.

Brazilian here, he can't and for a good reason: The entire process for PIX, from initial engineering to final implementation is documented and made public.

The government is making this for the exact reason someone else mentioned: We're at the mercy for a handful of big players, and that's enough. One open standard for all is good. (Edit: It's also an "economy" controlling standard. Not aimed at end users. It's something for the Central Bank to keep notes on what's happening with the money going around.)

The documentation sadly is in portuguese and in PDF: https://www.bcb.gov.br/content/estabilidadefinanceira/forump...

You can find more by looking on Google for: Banco Central PIX PDF

Personal note: A lot of people sadly still believe everything the government makes equals bad or equals to something that was idealized/created by the current president in office. It's not the case here by any means (the Brazilian Central Bank runs "independently") but unfortunately a lot of people see it that way.

I lost count of how many people corrected me on that (saying it was Kernel) :-)

I always wanted to know why this name was chosen.

It's a bit sad that people today still "fanboy" against a lang, like a lot of people still do for PHP (which has absolutely improved from the absurdity it was). JS followed the same path, ES2016 is an absolute dream to code on.

Maybe I'm biased? PHP paid my bills for a long time and currently I'm a front-end developer that works mostly with Angular (but sometimes I jump into the .NET Core backends). I love JS and TS, they evolved nicely along the years.

Nothing against being a fanboy for one specific lang, but thinking "X" language is bad/joke/nightmare isn't nice and makes people that work with them look like losers, which they aren't.

I remember seeing somewhere recently that they had 8% market share while MS Edge after the update managed to reach almost 7%.

I'm sure it's a good idea to shift from Firefox and let Microsoft and Google duke it out /s

The reason they fell apart as a Browser IMO was letting Firefox get "old" UX wise, while Chrome felt VERY user-friendly (I mean to the common enduser, not people like us here on HN).

I was an user of their Windows app until recently, had to stop using when they added the license for business use. Sadly, the company I work for only allows in their computers software they bought with their money (I can request them to buy software for me, but it can't be software under 'pre-release', has to be an stable software.) because of the audits they get, so to avoid problems related with piracy they decided to block softwares with user-owned licenses.

And since I used to use both at work (mostly for personal notes) and on my personal time, I moved to completely to another solution. (My own thing, made in (get ready for it) Electron.)

I wish I had the courage to share my projects here, but I'm really afraid of being torn apart. :-)

I made a similar minimal project but targeting github.io, apparently most here want self-hosting.

Wondering why this was downvoted, I'm also an user of GitKraken (for a while now), their diff layout and keyboard accessibility is amazing to help maximize work speed.
