cosmaioan··on Brazil's government-run payments system has become dominant
It is interesting that I did no see in the comments the costs of using Mastercard & Visa as a reason for governments to find alternatives for their economies.

Both Visa and MC are US companies so there is where the profits go ....

From US Senate hearing : "This is classic, classic monopolistic behavior. Yet you're testimony...is you don't want any competition...I'm having a hard time finding that position defensible, let alone sympathetic...it's unbelievable the amount of money you're making."

Margin 50% ....

cosmaioan··on Ask HN: note taking Tiddlywiki (https://tiddlywiki.com) professionally?
One of the gems on the internet. I first used it with ie4 .... that allowed to be saved locally via ActiveX. Now I have a plugin that saves it to Google drive.

Many thanks to people who developed it.

cosmaioan··on Android 13 virtualization lets Pixel 6 run Windows 11, Linux distributions
In terms of performance my expectations is to be comparable to the vm/vps from cloud providers where IOs are also limited, and with plenty of RAM for many workloads this will not be a big issues.

Many of the comments are from the point of view treating the phone as a desktop to use directly with is not very nice experience.

I want to treat the "old" phone as a server: 8 cores , 6 GB Ram, UPS, plenty of storage(expandable), Low power consumption , small form factor, redundant network 4/5G+Wifi, has built in screen and "keyboard" for time when you need to do debugging.

Does others experience with this kind of setup? What services are you running ?

cosmaioan··on Show HN: TekaPoint – Fast and elegant screen annotation for presentations
I use ZoomIt (windows) for some time. This is better.

Very good documentation

it would be an added bonus and make it stand out if would be able to do lines/shapes like rough.js

cosmaioan··on Ask HN: How do you record your personal finances?
I have tried many things apps/excel/text file and after some time I give up. The current solution I use for more than one year and I am happy. Works while travelling (currency support) but it needs internet.

To solve personal finance control I made myself a bot (on telegram). Works on anything web/desktop/mobile and that is just text. I think about it as my accountant.

I send him

>Beer 4 ( meaning I spent 4 on beer)

>wine 6 EUR ( meaning I spent 6 EUR on wine)

If I want to group things in a category:

>Beer is drinks

>wine is drinks

Don't forget to first set the expense currency.

>config ExpenseCurrency USD - (this will be the default expense currency if you don't specify otherwhise)

If you want to export just write:

> export expense

You will receive an url that can be imported(as text) in excel and can be refreshed. I use excel if I want explore/visualize.

I get a reminder/summary every day just to make sure I don't forget.

I have more commands https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x7iYpbXJHGyQQ4CxA1W6LgLr... And more that I have not documented. Let me know if you need something.

It does not uses language understanding, behind it has a compiler so there is NO misunderstanding
