I like how you got 4 different comments all starting with "Because..." hah!
Re:Statichost.eu – European static site hosting on Friday September 04, 2026 @06:17PM (#49570888)
It’s obvious and implied that “European” here means “EU”, especially when talking about values.

Low effort comment.

Is this irony? Cause there’s no way anyone believes these “we want to make the world a better place” cliches anymore lol

Fortunately, U.S. startups never bullshit and posture to get VC money, and in the rare cases they do, it’s not posted to HN. Right?
Re:Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI on Saturday April 11, 2026 @11:19AM (#47731362)
Wow, this is surprising.

I’m happy for the founders, they’re great folks. I contributed to CirrusCI a bit in the past and it was a great experience. I even advocated for Cirrus in a couple of my last $DAYJOBs (with varied success). Congrats Fedor!

I’m very sad they’re shutting down, though. IMHO CirrusCI was very close to a perfect CI system (I wrote a blogpost about it [0]). I’ll now have to find something to replace it with in my personal projects. I guess I’ll run their cirrus-cli in GitHub Actions for a while. But GitHub Actions is really poor. I heard some good things about Buildkite.

More like employees number 32,463 and 32,464 - they’re two people from what I seen on GitHub over the years. (Incredibly strong two people)
Re:Expanding Swift's IDE Support on Thursday April 09, 2026 @04:14AM (#47700661)
The free Kotlin Multiplatorm plugin provides 1st class Swift support in IntelliJ IDEA. It’s heavily based on old AppCode codebase.
Maybe he should have clarified “we (with a spine and moral compass) in America”. Obviously he didn’t mean leeches like you.

Ukraine has a democratically elected government and president who isn’t a dictator.

(I’m not trying to justify US action in Venezuela here. Just answering your question)

Re:Migrating the main Zig repository from GitHub to Codeberg on Thursday November 27, 2025 @03:03AM (#46066911)
This. The round & slimy language is what big corps do. I don't like how this post is written – but what really matters here is that they are doing a good job moving away from GitHub. I hope more OSS does this.
It is funny, go complain on reddit
Re:The Hardest Program I've Ever Written (2015) on Saturday November 01, 2025 @05:16PM (#45785461)
weirdest take on code formatting I've ever read

imho uniformity of what the code looks like > some single person's opinion

it's so satisfying to me when I just run "gofmt" and know the thing is formatted well.

This sounds like a bug – I'd appreciate it if you could share an example of such behavior.

Re:IntelliJ IDEA Moves to the Unified Distribution on Thursday July 17, 2025 @11:26AM (#44594397)
You can install the "Android" and "Android Design Tools" plugin in IntelliJ IDEA – it's basically everything that Android Studio is.

But truth be told, these plugins always lag ~1 release behind Android Studio.

Russian soldiers participating in the invasion of Ukraine. FTFY.

Re:CLion Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use on Wednesday May 07, 2025 @08:58AM (#43915056)
CLion (and other JetBrains IDEs for that matter) doesn’t send any of your code to AI in the Cloud (unless you use sth like AI Assistant yourself, of course)
Re:Hunt for Red October 1990 on Thursday April 10, 2025 @06:20AM (#43642489)
+1!

I had little expectations toward that movie (I think it was just randomly airing on the TV and I watched it), but was very pleasantly surprised.

I'm a fan of Clancy's books (and movies based on them), and The Wolf's Call could easily be one of them.
