Nice, I like to see your talk video, audio. Thanks.

We compiled one of our Java app to native binary using GraalVM (for encyption and secret managment needs). Side effect is the Java native binary performance is excellent, app startup time also significantly less compared to JVM version.

I am not sure how it compares with C++, Rust and Zig, but we made a benchmark with a similar Go binary, Java native version performance (load tests) is similar to Go binary. Only RAM usage of Java native binary is 3 times to Go binary (and JVM app took almost 10 times more RAM than Go version).

> asterisk is inexplicably used both to declare a pointer and a COMPLETELY different operation of dereferencing a pointer.

This is the most confusing concept of pointers. I feel this could have been easily avoided with different character like ~ or ^ or other.

Sounds good.

BTW, your website is heavy, for a basic set of components it shouldn't be taking 100% CPU.

Yes, We used GraalVM for data encryption project, side-effect is super fast performance. The number of req/sec also 3x.
I once solved a similar issue in a large application by applying the Flyweight design pattern at massive scale. The architectural details could fill an article, but the result was significant performance improvement.
Re:I Watched Gemini CLI Hallucinate and Delete My Files on Wednesday July 23, 2025 @01:17AM (#44655925)
AI isn’t ready to take full control of critical systems, and maybe it never will be. But big companies are rushing ahead, and users are placing trust in these big companies.

I believe AI should suggest, not act. I was surprised to see tools like Google CLI and Warp.dev confidently editing user files. Are they really 100% sure of their AI products? At the very least, there should be a proper undo. Even then, mistakes can slip through.

If you just want a simple terminal AI that suggests (not takes over), try https://geni.dev (built on Gemini, but will never touch your system).

Re:Show HN: Compass CNC – Open-Source Handheld CNC Router on Wednesday July 23, 2025 @12:56AM (#44655827)
Beautiful. I made few CNC's in my previous life, started a CNC company and bankrupted. Bankrupt because I tried to make everything myself, including electronic circuits. Your work looks great, congrats.

I suggest you keep a small video on the homepage(maybe youtube video). Also your site took a little time to load because of huge images (especially github image is 11mb).

D is one of the most beautiful and very efficient language. I wonder why it never got the attention it deserves.

Two weeks back I made a simple wrapper CLI app for GEMINI https://geni.dev.

I strongly believe in AI cli apps for devs, congrats.

Re:Using S3 as a Container Registry on Friday July 12, 2024 @07:37AM (#40944608)
This is such a wonderful idea, congrats.

There is a real usecase for this in some high security sectors. I can't put complete info here for the security reasons, let me know if you are interested.

https://HelloEle.com is a Cli tool to upload, download files with numbers.

I built it in the process of teaching a cli tool. Which I extensively use to move files between computers, especially to servers.

For understanding Core Java, especially OOPS this book greatly helped me.

I suggest don't remove the demo. I have a watermarking app https://watermark.ink the only reason there are non-english speaking users is because of the landing page itself is the app.
