How is the QC and all?
Fascism is not an opinion, a thing we can simply disagree with and move on. It’s a crime.

How do you call a friend of a fascist?

Yes! Thanks!

What about Yandex?
That’s so great! Thank you!

I wish something like this existed for Ada :)

Ada is underrated. I am spending lots of my time writing tons of open source software in Ada, mostly for myself, though.

I used to BE a software engineer. Then, I experienced a 3 years long burnout and got professional help. Now I work AS an Engineering Manager.

You are not your job. Do not put your ego in what you do. That’s something I discuss a lot during my 1:1s.

Thanks! Fingers crossed!
For this purpose I wrote an app called Five Years Back: I can write one entry daily, but I can see what I wrote on this day for the past 5 years. My writing streak is… 1399 days as of today. Only me is using the app.

Good job and good luck!

Re:Show HN: A new package manager for Ada on Friday March 06, 2026 @02:13AM (#47271955)
I’m not trying to compete with Alire. I do Ada for fun and for the sake of doing Ada.

I want to go back to fundamentals and learn by doing how foundational things work. So the plan is to, kind of, create my own programming world in Ada.

I may come up with a way to transfer Alire packages to Tada, I may not :)

This is, for now, for my personal use, but I couldn’t be more happy if someone else finds it useful :)

Does anyone know if this is Chrome in disguise?
I will. This is a first step to gather feedback and everything.
I will, I will. A man has to start somewhere ;) Thanks!
Nothing specific to Doom Emacs. And that’s great! I just packaged it so it just works! :)

This comment has been written on Quiche Browser. Testing. Looks great!

So far the only thing I’m missing is to undo closing the tab (for 5 seconds?)

Re:Ask HN: Who Got Hired? on Friday June 02, 2023 @02:56AM (#36161950)
I got hired ~3 years ago by a small Clojure startup. Both the CEO and the CTO reached out to me and said: hey, we use one of your OSS libraries, would you like to talk maybe?
Almost one year ago, I’ve built a personal diary app with gamificatiin features: streaks and email reminders.

My current streak is 347 days! It really made ME journaling daily. A number of folks who have also registered maxed at 61 only :(

+1 for Java, because that, possibly, means… Clojure? :)
