senorrib··on Northflank Breached
So, because congress didn't declare it, the war doesn't exist? Lmao
senorrib··on Proton goes all in on using AI
Time to find a new home for my email address.
senorrib··on Lula wins election after final votes tallied
Legislative branch in Brazil never deadlocks. Coalitions are a very natural part of our democracy.
senorrib··on Lula wins election after final votes tallied
So what?! Nobody is saying otherwise. But PT vastly misrepresents how close it is to fascists and dictators. Love them, but hate to publicize them.
senorrib··on An AI agent emailed researchers for help. It told us why
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like this whole article is a waste of time.
senorrib··on America.gov
Not really. We don't have an LLM integrated with govbr, and there's a shit ton of things that are still scattered (granted with integrated login), like pretty much all tax agencies, detran etc.
senorrib··on .gitignore Everything by Default
New files are unstaged by default in git. If you’re doing git add -A, that’s on you. There’s nothing wrong with the tool.
senorrib··on Singapore subway (mrt) information display types
Why are all the displays placed at 90°? That seems like bad UX.
senorrib··on South African diamond mines are closing due to weak sales and lab-grown stones
That’s not even close to being true.
senorrib··on Global Trade and the United States Navy
You know "load bearing" as an expression existed before AI, right?
senorrib··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
If it’s easy, where’s the evidence? Nothing you wrote is evidence for anything, at most “educated guesses”.

> Countries without an extensive bureaucracies are all failed state

This is such a ridiculous statement. There’s so many different levels of bureaucracy across the developed and developing world that you can’t really put them all in a single bag.

senorrib··on Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub
You’re on for a ride. Set at least 50k on the side for that.
senorrib··on India has paved the way for charging merchants a fee on UPI transactions
0.5% gross on a 1% margin business (which is most retail) is egregious.
senorrib··on India has paved the way for charging merchants a fee on UPI transactions
Currency is already managed by the elected government, and every democracy in the world traces electronic transactions. Some (like Italy) forbid cash payments in large sums altogether. So what's the boogieman here?
senorrib··on GLM-5.3: Frontier coding with emergent cyber capabilities
There’s no guaranteed progress, tho. Opus 5 is a regression.
senorrib··on The Maxwell Conjecture Is False (GPT 5.6 Sol)
You clearly haven't used Claude to generate code or documentation.
senorrib··on UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions
The European motorsports clubs should learn with UEFA and rollback the sale of the FIA to the Saudis.
senorrib··on Making 768 servers look like 1
If my grandma had wheels she would have been a bike. Most of these decisions are made by someone very early on in the process, either a cofounder or an underpaid junior engineer, when the company has zero revenue and no PMF.

It's unrealistic to expect a startup to build a product (or at least it was prior to LLMs generating a lot of boilerplate) with best practices in place.

senorrib··on Bun has an open PR adding shared-memory threads to JavaScriptCore
No it’s not.
senorrib··on Rio de Janeiro's city government model Rio3.5 beats Qwen3.7 in recent benchmarks
It's the municipal IT company, and the dude that did this is a volunteer.
senorrib··on Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?
Boss might not even know what Bash is, let alone a crontab.
senorrib··on Elevated errors on Claude.ai, API, Claude Code
that's 90%.
senorrib··on Show HN: boringBar – a taskbar-style dock replacement for macOS
Ok, so you prefer to act like an idiot. Good luck.
senorrib··on Show HN: boringBar – a taskbar-style dock replacement for macOS
That’s an economic concept, not a dig at consumers. It’s well known (hell, there’s a nobel laureate for it) that humans are irrational when it comes to economics.
senorrib··on Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? My quest to unmask Bitcoin's creator
100% and just based on the cypherpunk origins of this whole thing, this the most likely scenario.
senorrib··on Why Switzerland has 25 Gbit internet and America doesn't
Weirdly, I live in a somewhat rural part of Brazil, and all providers are small players. They’re all offering 1Gi FTTH and are now competing on price. Meanwhile, the closest metro area still suffers with cable internet topping at 600M and low availability.

Some big cities have seen a surge of small providers too, which has been great for consumers.

That said, I dont buy the “natural monopoly” argument at all, especially trying to compare it to water supply.

senorrib··on We replaced Node.js with Bun for 5x throughput
That doesn’t align with my experience. It feels more like a trojan horse. Client and Server rarely (should) share code, and people that are really good at one discipline aren’t that good at the other. Maybe LLMs will change that.
senorrib··on The Document Foundation ejects its core developers
The company in question profits heavily from the open source nature of LibreOffice. They're a big government vendor in Europe, mainly because their codebase is perceived as open source.
senorrib··on How we give every user SQL access to a shared ClickHouse cluster
Reasons 1-3 could very well be done with ClickHouse policies (RLS) and good data warehouse design. In fact, that’s more secure than a compiler adding a where to a query ran by an all mighty user.

Reason 4 is probably an improvement, but could probably be done with CH functions.

The problem with custom DSLs like this is that tradeoff a massive ecosystem for very little benefit.

senorrib··on Ageless Linux – Software for humans of indeterminate age
Probably both.
