rlopezcc··on Show HN: Brolly, a plain-text weather forecast site
I `curl wttr.in` pretty much every day.
rlopezcc··on Additive Blending on the Nintendo 64
RMS interjection reference was chef's kiss.
rlopezcc··on FIM – Linux framebuffer image viewer
Ah yes, renowned Git Torvalds.
rlopezcc··on Keep Android Open
Profit is a perverse incentive.
rlopezcc··on An image of an archeologist adventurer who wears a hat and uses a bullwhip
What the hell.
rlopezcc··on Trust in Firefox and Mozilla Is Gone – Let's Talk Alternatives
He did donations against same-sex marriage. I see why some people would not want him to be an influential person, myself included.

Also because of how economy works now, interest in Brave translates to the value of its built-in cryptocurrency (BAT) and therefore the economic power of its creator.

rlopezcc··on Ask HN: Where would you feel proud to work?
I love Bandcamp, they never reply my emails. :(
rlopezcc··on Google: Whatever happened to ‘Don’t be evil’?
Sorry. I don't trust alt-right publishers.
rlopezcc··on Show HN: A CLI to avoid remembering HTTP status codes
Nice.

.bashrc:

httpcode () { python3 -c "from http import HTTPStatus; print(HTTPStatus($1))" }

rlopezcc··on Twitter Notes
They will probably make Notes seamless and cool inside the twitter app and external links slow and clumsy.
rlopezcc··on KDE Connect Now Available on iOS
I use KDE Connect every day. I use it to control the volume and screen brightness of my laptop when it's out of reach and many other things.

The mouse cursor functionality is great and works flawlessly.

rlopezcc··on Ask HN: What games are you playing?
Warcraft 2
rlopezcc··on Jordan Peterson: Why I am no longer a tenured professor at [the UoT]
I honestly don't think HN is the place for JP's childish rants.
rlopezcc··on Ask HN: What defunct websites would you love to see revived?
Not related to technology but there were two websites where I used to donwload lots of spanish and Basque punk rock. Comando Glaucoma (a private forum), and Yahorake.tk. I miss them a lot.
rlopezcc··on I Love Arch, but GNU Guix Is My New Distro
> Political views have parties [citation needed] Political views MAY have parties. I agree to some extent with the cult argument though.
rlopezcc··on Id Software Goes After Doomscroll
What? You can't trademark it. There's a British band called Doom, id/Bethesda/whatever doesn't care.
rlopezcc··on Firefox vs. Brave: Which is the better browser for you? – Mozilla
Brave always looked shady to me. Even inoring that I don't like Brendan for personal reasons. There is something nauseating about using "privacy" and other nice-sounding words to pump your own crypto-currency. I may be misunderstanding things here, I'm open to positive arguments about this.
rlopezcc··on Moderna Is About to Begin Trials for HIV Vaccine
Trigger warning: Trypophobia
rlopezcc··on Akrasia: Lack of will preventing us from doing something we know is good for us
This is interesting, I'm used to "Acracia" (Spanish) as a synonym of Anarchy. E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81cratas

The spanish version of OP's article is not linked to it but here it is: https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acracia And presents it more or less as a synonym of Anarchy without mention of "lack of will".

rlopezcc··on Ask HN: How much digital data could fit on a standard vinyl LP?
Related: Booting from a vinyl record (http://boginjr.com/it/sw/dev/vinyl-boot/)
rlopezcc··on Libra Core
oof, Libra translates to Pound(£). Imagine the confusion.
rlopezcc··on Ask HN: Are you put off building something because it already exists?
> GeoCities back but updated for all the cool stupid things you can do in the modern Web. A place for your weird taste in CSS, in public

Sounds like Neocities

rlopezcc··on Show HN: Drogon – A C++14/17 based high performance HTTP application framework
Just wanted you to know "Drogon" means "Stoner" in spanish.
rlopezcc··on What If Linus Torvalds Gets Hit by a Bus? (2000)
It also names Miguel de Icaza as a similarly important character, it was in 2000 because gnome, event considering Mono as an important technology nowadays, it's not as significative or critical as Gnome was back then.

Edit: wording.

rlopezcc··on iPhones are allergic to helium
Nice discovery! Now scifi/horror movies can stop using the "I have no reception for no reason" and use helium somewhere in the plot.
rlopezcc··on Show HN: Vespene – My new Python CI/CD and automation server written in Django
I would strongly suggest changing the name. "Ves pene" means something pretty much NSFW in Spanish. Besides that, nice job! Keep it up.
rlopezcc··on Ask HN: How do you organise and discover your team's internal scripts?
I have a .local_profile script in my project root and added this[1] to my .bash_profile

So, each project has its own set of aliases and utilities in the repo.

It's not the cleanest thing to do, but it works pretty well.

Edit: Formatting.

rlopezcc··on Ascii Art Generator
Or pipe to sed for "emoji art"
rlopezcc··on Ask HN: What do you consider resume red flags?
Yeah, do I have a domain name and used my own domain with gmail. But it sounds volatile to me, if (for some reason) I lose my domain I'd miss a good part of my communications. Thanks for your advice, I'll see what I can do.
rlopezcc··on Ask HN: What do you consider resume red flags?
I normally use an outlook email because I can have username@outlook instead of user.name2392.stuff@gmail, also outlook advertisement is less intrusive.

I'm under the impression that it turns recruiters away, can this be right?

[Edit]: Yes/No is enough, no need to downvote.
