This is part of a Brazilian test - those are common for enrolling in free higher education or working in public positions. IMO one of the most vile ways of wasting the young generation's potential, as you need to be really smart to pass those exams (think 1-10000 candidate/position ratio) but too stupid to accept the position (think $500 USD monthly salary).


As per Aquinas, every joke is a disguised form of sadness. You can only laugh at something that is sad.


The Brazilian constitution uses a <strike> element to mark parts of the text that were overwritten, alongside a link to the amendment https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/constituicao/constitui...


In HTML, they should be using <del> instead, which denotes a portion of the text that was removed. If something is inserted, then <ins> should be used.

<strike> is deprecated.

This kind of notation is similar but not the same as redlining. Whoever reads the law actually wants `git history` in this case. The diff is not a means to an end (a fully edited document), having the diff explicit is the end goal.


Maybe it's written in HTML 3.2.


This is a pain point when making browser games, as custom fonts break way too easily in some environments.


I’m not a game dev but I have occasionally made small throw-away projects with UE/Unity/GD. When you’d make a game for web on these, I’d assume they’ll be rendered as a canvas.

That’s why I am thinking that custom fonts in a browser game are nothing more than just pixels to draw for the browser.

I’m doing pretty much anything with Flutter now, even trying to build 2D games with it and unless I’m mistaken: it all renders on a canvas, which has its pros and cons, but in your case it would’ve been a non-issue, or did I misunderstand?


Here in Brazil, I've seen some people starting to suspect on web influencers for money laundering. Pick your niece/nephew, start a social media account, buy followers/likes then start laundering the money on fake ads and partnerships.


that's the source of some cheesy anime clichés like having every character react and say something while an arrow is still mid-flight - in a manga it makes sense but when animating it makes it feel slow (looking at you Saint Seya)


I'm experimenting with something like that, to allow creating a web API from some descriptions in markdown. https://github.com/lfarroco/verbo-lang


the initial idea was a general-purpose language, but obviously the scope for that would be too big. I think that having "natural language frameworks" for some application types can work: REST APIs, CLI apps, React components... . If you have a set architecture, like the Elm architecture, centered around events being fired that update some state, that could lead to some standards. One feature that I intend to add is having an "interview" with the AI. You write the spec, then it reads it and gives you some questions/issues, like: "this point is too vague", "what do you want to update here? a or b?". That would help ensure that the prompt/spec itself is improvable with AI.

People say that a microservice is something that "fits in your head". Once the logic gets too complex, you should separate it into another service. Maybe in the future the phrase will be "what fits in the AI's context". That would be a good litmus test: if a piece of software is hard for an AI, maybe we should simplify it - because it is probably too hard for the average human as well.



They are complying with local laws. For more absurd that it may seem, they are receiving requests from the Supreme Court to do illegal stuff.


It's the Justice who interprets the law. 800 million people are in prison right now in Brazil. They can say all their arrest are illegal. That doesn't mean anything.


Of all the ridiculous dictator bootlicker replies in this thread, this one takes the prize. Brazil's population is ~215 million.

Let me call a judge to report your misinformation.


This is called a typo :)

I meant hundreds, obviously. Typo is still not ilegal :(
