julioc | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: AI explanations for other people’s code
I've tried it on a few of the wtfjs examples, and it explains the snippets surprisingly well, sometimes even better than the original explanations!

Checkout the new CSS property `accent-color`, which allows you to customize checkbox colors

Does anyone know any similar online course or article series?

Is there anything like xmonad for Windows?
Edit: found [some options on wikipedia][1], but maybe you have any other sugestions.

You should add some tagging, to identify an entry as a swearing (nsfw), slang, proverb. Most expressions currently on the website are swearings.
It could be hard to guess how "coé" should be pronounced, so you should add the phonetic representation for the words, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Portuguese_an...

Arch is not easy, but is my choice (Dell Vostro). Check the you hardware compatibility on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Laptops
julioc | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: Beatbar - Media player that beats in the browser address bar
You could use unicode for the controls. I modified the local code to use "‖" (and, due to a bug I guess, the chrome address bar became monospaced). If you need, check some reference on http://copypastecharacter.com/all-characters and http://graphemica.com/
julioc | 14 years ago | on: I told my 2nd year CS students to create a programming language
We have a class on compilers at my university, but it's on the 4rd year. Creating a compiler/interpreter when you are just starting programming would be a big challenge.
@dovyski: it's nice to see this coming from a brazilian university -- I'm from UFABC, São Paulo
julioc | 14 years ago | on: Ziptastic: Isn't a zipcode enough?
Brazilian post codes map to [segments of] streets, with the format XXXXX-XXX. The API response for a brazilian post code is just "404", invalid if the application was expecting JSON.

Works fine. Thanks for the email notification too.
Does it send the notification based on my local time?
julioc | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: I'll e-mail you in the morning if it's going to be a beautiful day.
Great job. Can you add support for foreign cities with special characters? I tried "São Paulo, Brazil" and the encoding on the "success message" was wrong.
julioc | 14 years ago | on: The GitHub Styleguide
That's a good point, even the reference article states that, in some cases, a semicolon is necessary (in the begin of the line). If it's necessary reason about use it on some cases (and mistakes will happen), why not use it on every line?
The guide doesn't have anything about brackets and spacing on function calls (maybe because it's dropping the language).

julioc | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Looking for hackers in Argentina
I'm Brazilian and I'd really like a HN like community for us. I know that it won't be much active, but it's a good starting point.

I still prefer something like "illegal scope operator"
