Open to interesting roles with above or similar stack.

nikivi··on Meta to charge for ad-free versions of Facebook and Instagram in Europe
Would love to pay for no ads on IG, the amount of ads there is insane, only reason I don't use it as much.
nikivi··on Bun v0.8
Have you given thought what Bun 2.0 would look like? What major features it would have? Or 2.0 if it ever happens is mostly making Bun work 'at the edge'?
nikivi··on Wazero: Zero dependency WebAssembly runtime written in Go
Also curious about this, can I use Wazero to compile Go to WASM?

Or it replaces cloudflare workers instead?

nikivi··on EdgeDB 3.0
Will EdgeDB Cloud be fully replicated similar to https://neon.tech?

I want to use EdgeDB Cloud but I want the latency to be that of Grafbase for example.

benchmark here: https://edge-data-latency.vercel.app

I know EdgeDB exposes GraphQL as part of plugin. I assume EdgeDB Cloud lets you setup production GraphQL setup without any effort?

3.0 looks very exciting, well done.

nikivi··on Keyd: Linux Key Remapper
If you're on mac, Karabiner is the best tool for remapping. I use it to remap normal keys to hyper keys. So pressing on `a` key together with `f` will do control + f and things like this.

nikivi··on Ask HN: What productivity tools do you use?
Share it here: https://wiki.nikiv.dev/sharing/my-workflow
nikivi··on Purego – A library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo
I meant calling Rust from Go.
nikivi··on Purego – A library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo
Can this be used/adapted for Rust too?
nikivi··on Marko: An HTML-Based Language
This is a nice discussion about it:

nikivi··on Ask HN: How do you exercise?
I share my routine here: https://wiki.nikiv.dev/fitness/exercises

It's bit aspirational but it's mostly bodyweight workouts few times a week.

nikivi··on Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?
Trying to make Solid/ChiselStrike stack work. It has its rough edges but I am trying to iron them out so its reusable for all my projects going forward.

https://github.com/learn-anything/learn-anything

Reasoning behind the stack is that I feel productive in Solid and it's plenty fast on first load and as SPA when fully loaded. I love the component model and JSX.

ChiselStrike is new to me but I was looking for something that lets me declaratively manage my schema. I checked https://entgo.io (it produced too many Go files to my liking), also Prisma (https://www.prisma.io), found it bit complex to get started with.

I also checked https://www.edgedb.com and it's nice but with ChiselStrike I can deploy it with LibSQL (fork of SQLite) and replicate it so responses should be plenty fast and I can build on top more easily.

For native apps will use SwiftUI composable architecture when it comes to it. React Native code sharing seems nice but Solid doesn't have a React Native alternative yet sadly.

nikivi··on Ask HN: Do you or someone you know give money to your parents?
I don’t earn a lot. And both my parents don’t work currently. And have smaller brother and sister too.
nikivi··on Ask HN: Do you or someone you know give money to your parents?
Not in US and in Spain. Thanks for heads up though.
nikivi··on Ask HN: Do you or someone you know give money to your parents?
30-40 % of my income goes to my parents. I pay tax on it first before sending.
nikivi··on A 116kb WASM of Blink that lets you run x86_64 Linux binaries in the browser
Reminded me of https://browsix.org
nikivi··on Ask HN: Share your personal site
Mine is quite simple. Will add dark/light switch soon and make it prettier to use.

nikivi··on Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022?
Still Karabiner (https://wiki.nikiv.dev/macOS/apps/karabiner/) and VSCode (https://wiki.nikiv.dev/text-editors/vs-code/).
nikivi··on Ask HN: How do you keep track of all the content you encounter?
Currently put it all into markdown files here: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge

nikivi··on Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)
I just like the way it lets me sort tasks. Mention how I use it below:

https://wiki.nikiv.dev/focusing/goals

https://wiki.nikiv.dev/research/solving-problems

nikivi··on Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)
Still Karabiner and it's probably 1000 hours yearly at this point.

https://wiki.nikiv.dev/macOS/apps/karabiner

On order of 100 hours, this year I'd say it's Sublime Merge, VSCode, Height (to manage projects) and Telegram.

nikivi··on Pony Programming Language
Was reading docs on actors

https://tutorial.ponylang.io/types/actors.html

And I wonder what makes pony actors different to Go's goroutines?

nikivi··on Ask HN: What do you like/dislike about Golang?
Don't like error handling taking multiple lines (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raJGZaIPhOc)

Like everything else.

nikivi··on Sublime Text 4 Build 4142
Would be interesting to see the code for Sublime Text at some point.

I understand it would hurt their sales but there's so few codebases showing how to make fast apps with QT.

nikivi··on From Google to Twitter
I personally love https://height.app now
