blastonico··on Implementing the President's "DOGE" Workforce Optimization Initiative
Are they rewriting federal bureaucracy in Rust?
blastonico··on A better (than Optional) maybe for Java
> The method names are more intuitive: e.g., then instead of map

But map makes total sense, considering that maybe is a monad.

blastonico··on DeepSeek gives Europe's tech firms a chance to catch up
Europe could create an AI agent to regulate everything.
blastonico··on The government information crisis is bigger than you think it is
Do you realize that HN stands for HACKER news, yes?

Why can't we use this for nerd stuff only? Isn't there enough political forums/newspaper/etc on the internet?

blastonico··on Ask HN: Programmers who aren't front/back end/web developers, what is your job?
C Compiler (GCC) - Bug fixes, performance improvements, etc.
blastonico··on Microsoft Probing If DeepSeek-Linked Group Improperly Obtained OpenAI Data
The problem is not the "improperly obtained", but the "they cannot have built it under a $6M budget, there should be something else going on..."
blastonico··on The world is an objectively worse place because of tech-bro oligarchs
So change it to big-pharma-bros, big-four-bros (kpmg, delloite, ey, pwc), wall st-bros, big-three-bros (s&p, moody's, fitch), religion-bros... my point is that billionaries will always be around and there's nothing we can do.
blastonico··on The world is an objectively worse place because of tech-bro oligarchs
Traditional media billionaires made the world worse too. It's just power changing hands, without tech-bro we would have something-else-bro pooping on our heads as we always had. Let's not be naives.
blastonico··on IBM Power – What's Next?
What's wrong with PowerPC, not even a comment here so far.

And I haven't heard about it since Playstation 3.

blastonico··on C++ is an absolute blast
chatgpt or copilot helps a lot with that. I usually copy the text and let it decipher the thing for me.
blastonico··on C++ is an absolute blast
The amount of high performance, production grade, massively tested libraries written in C++ is unbeatable. I will be honest here, it's easier to improve C++ security by implementing a compiler that produces safer C++ (like Typescript to Javascript) than rewriting everything in any other language (Rust, Zig, Odin, whatever).

I mean, could you estimate the cost ($ and time) it would take to rewrite the best audio framework in any other language? (https://juce.com/).

blastonico··on Advent of Code on the Nintendo DS
Thank you for the hint, I didn't know Uiua. I'll definitely take a look on it.
blastonico··on Advent of Code on the Nintendo DS
This is my first advent of code, my initial goal was solving the challenges using APL (note: I've never used that kind of language). It didn't work. :D

I continued in C++, but kind of lost interest. Next year I'll learn the language beforehand. hehe

blastonico··on Gitlab names Bill Staples as new CEO
He's going to find out that being a Staples is harder than it looooks.
blastonico··on React 19
I see people complaining a lot about React, why is it? What are the alternatives?

PS: I'm not a frontend engineer but I find this topic interesting.

Thanks!

blastonico··on The US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation
That's the definition of a clown world.
blastonico··on Elon Musk's Engineering Principles – The 5 Step Process (2021)
Maybe Starship, I would take it.
blastonico··on Another million users joined Bluesky today – could Bluesky spike spark end of X?
Koo, Threads, Mastodon, and now the new X killer is Bluesky. What's next?

Suggestions:

  - x++

  - y

  - x#

  - X rewritten in Rust
blastonico··on Kibi – A text editor in less than 1024 lines of code, written in Rust
hehe, for some reason "written in rust" is becoming a trademark
blastonico··on When muscles work out, they help neurons to grow, a new study shows
Ok, I'm almost convinced to start lifting weights...

if they release a study showing hair growing I'll be 100% in.

blastonico··on What's New in F# 9
I love F#, but it depends almost exclusively on Microsoft, which is not a main priority. What if Microsoft decides to stop developing it?
blastonico··on [dead]
Sure, let's go. But... I live in Brazil
blastonico··on Ask HN: What do you think would happen if Google and YouTube split?
I think there will be two companies instead of just one.
blastonico··on Working with Igalia to Improve RISC-V LLVM Continuous Integration
What's Igalia business model like? They're not an outsourcing company, are they?
blastonico··on The empire of C++ strikes back with Safe C++ blueprint
A proper OO support makes difference for some use-cases. That Serenity OS guy is building a web browser and recently spoke about it. Game developers also complain about the lack if it in Rust.
blastonico··on The empire of C++ strikes back with Safe C++ blueprint
There will always be security bugs. Why do you think otherwise?
blastonico··on The Optimus robots at Tesla's Cybercab event were humans in disguise
How long it will take until journalists call the starship booster catch a fraud?
blastonico··on COBOL has been “dead” for so long, my grandpa wrote about it
Soon after Java was released, when the hype around the language was on fire, people used to say that it was going to replace COBOL - due to the "build once run everywhere" motto. Java indeed gained market share in the finance industry, but COBOL is still there.
blastonico··on Amazon employees are 'rage applying' for new jobs after RTO mandate
> the ones left will be the ones who couldn't get jobs elsewhere.

Oh, come on. There're people that like working in the office. It's unfair to label them as "the ones who couldn't get jobs elsewhere".

blastonico··on SpaceX launches mission for 2 NASA astronauts who are stuck on the ISS
Hopefully everything will work fine. But if anything goes slightly wrong, those media companies will highlight Elon's name in every opportunity.
