josemando | 2 years ago | on: Show HN: If you have over 99 tabs in Firefox mobile, you will get an infinity

The infinity symbol doesn't bother me; what I don't like is that the information about the number of open tabs isn't available anywhere else. As a result, I have to run a script on the browser console on my desktop.

Also, I'm not sure if it's just my old iPhone X, but I've noticed that when I have 100+ tabs open, the app crashes more frequently.

In Brazil, we have PIX, a way to make instant transfers 24/7 that is always free for individuals. It was launched in Nov/2020 as last month alone it had 1.8B transactions on its network.

It's really ubiquitous right now, as you can pay pretty much anything using it.

[edit] for those who like numbers, here are the stats from the federal bank (ps: it's in Portuguese): https://www.bcb.gov.br/estabilidadefinanceira/estatisticaspi...

> If I clear the fingerprints and block the acquiring of these metrics

Honesty question here, but how do you do that?

I suggest taking a look at https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wiki

I have never used, but I’m interested in trying… maybe some personal project in the future :)

This is also not working for me on Github, Facebook and Instagram...

I don't think it has anything to do with Ghost accounts, maybe your app has reached some quota limit...

josemando | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why do new browsers use Chromium instead of Firefox as their base?

But aren’t Brave, Edge and Opera based on Chromium instead of only Blink? Am I missing something?

josemando | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why do new browsers use Chromium instead of Firefox as their base?

Could you care to elaborate a little more? What does it make it easy or hard to fork?

That’s indeed a worst case scenario, but you know (an grant permission to) which data the apps have access to

josemando | 6 years ago | on: My Second Phone Is in the Cloud

Isn’t https://solidproject.org going in that direction?

josemando | 7 years ago | on: Apple has completed its acquisition of Shazam

I first heard about Shazam when I worked in a project to integrate Shazam API to Hello Moto J2ME app back in 2007~2008. And it was amazing to see how they were able to move to the smartphone world so gracefully!

Great! Thanks for the response :)

We go to NY and Bay Area every 4-5 months to stay in touch with investors and potential partners.

I just ping you guys at Twitter so we meet for coffee next time. Cheers ;)

josemando | 10 years ago | on: Govtech: The $400B Market Hiding in Plain Sight

Ron, do you invest in companies outside U.S.? I founded a govtech company in Brazil, we have over 100 gov clients and we would love to talk to you!

josemando | 11 years ago | on: I bought js.org and want to “give it back” to the JavaScript community

that's exactly what you can find at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript

josemando | 11 years ago | on: I bought js.org and want to “give it back” to the JavaScript community

You could focus on redirects, maybe some for npm modules, other for jquery plugins, etc

Also you could link/redirect references, like the Mozilla one https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript (Mozilla rocks \o/)

josemando | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?

What: http://www.colab.re, a Brazilian social network for citizenship

Why cool: We are helping people solving city problems by connecting them to local government. Already live on 25 cities in Brazil
