brunno··on Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer
Thanks for mentioning this. Somehow I've searched for something like this before and couldn't find it.

That didn't stop me from using Firefox tough. I just have my first bookmark in the toolbar point to "about: profiles" and use this page to launch new profile instances, create new ones etc.

brunno··on Tell HN: I was offline the whole weekend
Time to play catch up with all the new JavaScript frameworks that were released in this 48h then.
brunno··on Pencil ­– an open-source GUI prototyping tool
If you try to use it as a GUI designer like Figma it's pretty outdated but I still use it for low-fidelity mockups sometimes and I like it for it's simplicity.
brunno··on Spin up your development background processes with ease
This looks like a good alternative to Foreman (https://ddollar.github.io/foreman/). Do you know about it? What advantages do you think Porter has over it?

Congratulations on the cool project.

brunno··on Git Notes
You can say that in portuguese, it's completely correct but it seems to be much less used than "junto ao muro" as in "next to the wall/adjacent to the wall". Even being correct in this use, "contra" is a word very charged with adversarial context. Maybe that's the source of the strangeness the thread OP feels about the use of "against".
brunno··on Hanami 2.0
This is great!

I love Rails but have used Sinatra and Padrino in the past. The knowledge you get using these frameworks can sometimes be brought back to your Rails apps to improve some things.

I hope I can have some time in the near future to use Hanami in a real world project.

Congratulations to the team.

brunno··on Nicheless: a micro-blogging platform
I get what you're saying. Specially if you think of it more as a microblog that you share toughts.

How do you feel about timestamps as titles (and URLs)?

Maybe having an option to use a title or just a timestamp.

brunno··on Show HN: Bolt.css – Another classless CSS library
From a quick look it's nice but I think the grey background color for the inputs is not a good choice, it gives the impression that they are disabled.
brunno··on Pstore: Ruby Built-In Hash Persistence
There was a time when some stuff was being extracted (removed) from Ruby core and becoming gems and I really tought PStore and YAML::Store were going to be among those, but no, they decided to keep them in core. So maybe there are some important enough use cases that justify it being there.

Or maybe it would be a hard task that didn't justify the effort.

brunno··on Pstore: Ruby Built-In Hash Persistence
I love the simplicity of YAML::Store. It was introduced in Ruby 1.8, almost 20 years ago (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/55f4dc4c9a5345c28d0da750...).

I even created a little gem when I was starting with Ruby, 10 years ago, that was a very thin wrapper around it so that I could play around using an ActiveRecord like syntax (https://github.com/brunnogomes/active_yaml). I used in some pet projects so I could do stuff like:

  p = Post.new
  p.title = "Great post!"
  p.body = "Lorem ipsum..."
  p.save

  Post.all # => [#<Post:0x895bb38 @title="Great post!", @body="Lorem ipsum...", @id=1>]

  Post.find(1) # => #<Post:0x954bc69 @title="Great post!", @body="Lorem ipsum...", @id=1>

  Post.where(author: 'Brunno', visibility: 'public')
  # => [#<Post:0x895bb38 @author="Brunno", @visibility="public", @id=1>, #<Post:0x457pa36 @author="Brunno", @visibility="public", @id=2>]
And have access to the data directly in the YAML files.

Good times!

brunno··on $9.99/month
Don't forget the daily notifications reminding you that your free calculation for the day is ready and after you click a popup that shows that if you check-in everyday for a week you get an extra bonus free calculation.
brunno··on Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling
Interestingly, there's a very high chance that those HTML pages with tables crafted in the 90s still render perfectly fine today (if they're still around).
brunno··on Crystal for Rubyists
This is a well done and concise guide from the author of the Kemal framework for Crystal. I really like it.
brunno··on Resident Evil Village in the browser through Stadia
It's region locked to some countries:

   SORRY. CAN'T DELIVER.
   Which area can I play in?

   You can access this streaming demo from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Hungary.
brunno··on Tiddlyhost is a free hosting platform for TiddlyWiki
Heroku is getting a lot of backlash lately but they have the "Deploy to Heroku" button that a lot of open source projects seem to have integraded well. I used it a couple of times and it worked really well. I see it sometimes in READMEs on GitHub repos.

If this could become a standard adopted by other cloud providers we could have the internet you imagined.

brunno··on Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers
As a long time Sublime Text[1] user, I've been using Sublime Merge[2] since the day it's been launched and it brings me the same speed and minimalism I get with Sublime Text and has evolved quite a lot to be able to do most things I need in a merge tool.

Not affiliated with them in any way by the way.

brunno··on No YAML
Readability.

Sometimes people that can read code, like most of us here, don't get bothered by tokens like "{" or some of the more complex hierarchical structures but for someone that doesn't want to learn/understand code YAML is much more appetizing.

brunno··on List of apps people pay for but have low rating
Microsoft Office Lens is free and really good.

You can also do it natively now in iOS Files app and Android's Google Drive.

brunno··on Will Linux phones stay around this time?
Chrome is bundled with Android (billions of devices) and when you install a lot of software on Windows like antivirus they bundle Chrome unless you opt-out.

Not the same but pretty close.

brunno··on Google-Free Android Smartphones Are Now Available in the U.S.
I don’t think so. WhatsApp does that and it is a pretty known app.
