major505··on Nobel Peace Prize 2025: María Corina Machado
Its fair. She done a crucial job uniting the different interests of the oposition of the venezuelan goverment/cartel.

Too bad they where so divided for so many years, that when they trully worked together to wind a election it was too late because now MAduro dont even care to steal the ellections in plain sigth and probably theres no more solution without violence.

I would love to see a video of this in action.
major505··on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account
Microsoft to push pwa outlook as the default client also is terrible. Why would I want a e-amil client that occupies 3 times the memory of the default outlook client?
major505··on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account
Because it seems that microsoft could not shitify windows experience anymore.

I like windows, Its a great system specially for being productive, but the godamn start menu using react and edge and the online requirements are a pain in the ass.

Sometimes it just hangs while you click the windows key. All I want is to open notepad++...

major505··on I'm spoiled by Apple Silicon but still love Framework
I wish framework would sell in Brazil.

I can see they releasing a ARM model in the near future int order to compete with Apple.

Specially because a lot of people who buy framework uses linux, and linux still have better ARM support than windows.

major505··on Designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization
Beating people who think different than you is the pretty much facism. Just saying.

major505··on Man jailed for parole violations after refusing to decrypt his Tor node
well the whole thing tells the story of a man with lacks a lot of impulse control and serious anti-social behaviour.

I knew people like that, that where unnable to put their lifes togheter until they where fully medicated.

Insert joke about federal agents shooting dogs...
major505··on macOS Tahoe
To be honest I just installed last night and the only significant change I notice are the round corners. And now the email app have a progress indicator.

Other than that is just windows vista visuals, but not as shit as windows vista.

major505··on I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file
and just a quick resume: What I find that independent of your note taking system, what really makes the different is that 5 min I told, that I sit and process what was done in the previous day. The discipline to rethink your day, apply again what it works, and do a little different what it did not worked, thats whats really makes the different.
major505··on I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file
I used a lot of Todo and Note taking APP over the years.

My last and the one that ended up working more for me was Microsoft TODO because it was simple and synced with my phone, and actually worked seamless with IOs Reminder app. I sticked with it for a lot of time, but in the end, after a hell week, most my tasks where red with due dates long passed. It just added to my stress seeing all that red.

Today I just carry a small notebook and a pen I like in my back pocket. If I have to do something I start with a task like

- do something.

After done

+ do something

Every start of day, I just grab some coffee, sit for 5 min and go through the last day, what I done, what I could not finish, and create a new todo list for the day.

I also now just carry the notebook for quick notes. Notebook for temporary stuff. If is something more permanent stuff that I need to remember, I just add an entry in my OneNote. If is a event, in goes to my outlook Calendar.

OneNote is hardly ideal, I used to run my life on Notion, but it works well enough, but there where some problems.

* Too much cluter. I did not use 1/3 of what it could do

* I run out of space, and I did not wanted another monthly payment to get premium stuff

* The search in One is reasonable, and does the job

* I can draw in my tablet, for simple diagrams

* Tt syncs with my phone independent if I'm using Android of IOs without me have to think much about it

* is already included in my Office 365 family plan.

* works offline, different from Notion.

My only grip is OneNote don't have a Linux desktop app, just wrappers for the web app, and pasting code on it is a fucking disaster. Other than that, it does the job.

The only thing now that would make me switch is Obsidian, but the IOs app is a fucking disaster. you cannot open vaults outside the Obsidian folder, and I was using git to sync it, but IOs dont have a good free Git app that can sync folders anywhere I want it.

Also, having to sync manually and solving merge conflits for my notes is kinda a pain in the ass.

major505··on PHP 8.5 adds pipe operator
So php now can do clojure like programing?
major505··on Tell HN: Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network
I used a lot for organizing my personal projects, endup changing to Microsoft Loop for client stuff. And Obsidian for personal stuff.

Brazil, the more extensive police work like patrols and crime prevention is usually done by military police.

Crime investigation is part of civilian police.

But most polpulation have contact only with military police. IS no coincident they look like this in Brazil: https://www.reddit.com/r/MilitaryPorn/comments/10r02yp/black...

major505··on Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable
yeah, thres a cool story. A wealth lady gave her a diamond neckless that was audictioned. The person who won the neckless in the auction gave it back to my aunt, so she could auction it again. The same neckless was auctioned like 3, 4 times because of that. A lot of generous people helped her pave the way, but it was her wll and determination that focused this efforts.

Personally I dont have a good relationship with her, because of things she done in the family, including to my own parents, but damn if this don't goes to show that even peolpe we may think are bad can can make the world a better place. She does have a lot of good karma to expend the rest of her life.

major505··on Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable
My cousin developed leukemia as kid when he was only 3 years old in the end of the seventies.

At the time, specially in Brazil, the decease was a death sentence. His mother took him to dozen of doctors and specialists.

His condition deteriorated fast, and she endup trying even pseudoscinece stuff like spiritual healing and mediuns. She made a promise to the patron saint of her church, Saint Judas, to help people in the same situation as her.

At the time, the brazilian equivalent of the FDA was debaging releasing Interferon as a threatment for kids in Brazl. She was able to put him in trials and the treatment worked on him. My cousin is still alive and kicking to this day, but unfourtunaly, he became infertile as a result of the threatment.

To fulfill her promise, my auntie organized a group in the Rotary and over the years the raised donations, organize a charity auctions and received some land as a donation. In the place they started a children hospital for treatment of cancer called GPACI. The open in 1981, and today the hispital a reference of research and treatment of kids in Brazil.

Here is the site if you wanna know more https://www.gpaci.org.br/

major505··on Ask HN: Is ageism in tech still a problem?
Everybody want their company to be a google where you are willing to waste that mauch time to get hired.

In the end, HR hiring team fails to recruit because in makes the process to expensive for candidates, and the CEOS hire more HR recruitment becasue they think the problem is the lack of people to hire. HR needs to justify the salary, and makes hiring more a pain in the ass, feeding the vicious cycle.

I miss the times where HR only responsabily was to process salary payment.

major505··on Ask HN: Is ageism in tech still a problem?
Thats why, me at 40`s, now am I working in a german auto industry where they still got more traditional views and p promote people with time inside the company.

Hip companies dont hire me, maybe some tech consultants, that would not be considered cool, like accenture or IBM.

A few years ago I was one of the first people in my country tomigrate my company android app to Kotlin, this helped me land in the app development team of a big bank in my country and I was by far the oldest dude. Everybody called me "uncle" there, very common to young people in my country to call older people that, because most where college kids.

major505··on Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
agreed. And they alse benefited the business of several friends and canpaing donnors who use the cheap labor of this imigrants.
major505··on Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
You men the poor resisdents, because this people dont plunder and burn the mansions in Beverly Hills, where they hire private security and have gated communities.

They burn the small business of honest working people.

major505··on Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
Not everything you dont like is nazism.

Burning the city? Check Incopetent mayor not doing its job? check Incopetent governor watching the caos unfold? Check.

major505··on Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
The problem is that people think that because they have a degree they will not be affect by the illegal imigration crisis.

They think this is a problem only for blue collar workers, that they cannot empathize with.

major505··on Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
yeah. A good quote from Adama, but that only applies to the US. In many places around the world the police and military are the same.
major505··on Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
There are consequences for business owners, but because of complicity of govermnet in this states, it still worth the risk to run big operation on the back of illegal imigrants in semi servitude status.
