arunc··on Writing an Asciidoc Parser in Rust: Asciidocr
Nothing comes close to Asciidoc(tor) for a complete documentation suite.
arunc··on Firefox is the best mobile browser
I used Firefox focus on Android until last month. It drained the battery far quicker than Brave. Brave has been nice on the battery so far.

Vulnerable
arunc··on Founder sentenced to seven years in prison for fraudulent sale to JPMorgan
Less likely to happen. They had their pay days!
arunc··on Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';
The last time I came across the name Beej, there used to be a book/article called Beej's guide for network socket programming. If that's you, thanks for everything!
arunc··on Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';
Very sad to see this. Most educated Iranians I've met hate Islam and their government that supports its extreme ideologies. I hope the people in this world develop the sense of morality without associating it with any religion or culture, for that's the true purpose of being compassionate humans.
arunc··on Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy
I don't really mind 7GB ISO file. What gets my nerve is the default packaging of shit-load of unnecessary apps.
arunc··on We all dodged a bullet
Trying to read this on Brave on Android and I couldn't get past Anubis. Does anyone else observe the same?
arunc··on Contracts for C
It was proposed by Walter and denied by Stroustroup, probably to save C++. Karma hits back and he is trying to save C++ from Rust.
arunc··on io_uring is faster than mmap
Indeed. Use with mmap with MAP_POPULATE which will pre populate.
arunc··on I ditched Docker for Podman
$90 is also like 1.5 hours of work that I would've spent debugging podman anyway. And I've spent more than a few hours every time podman breaks, it to be honest.
arunc··on Leaving Gmail for Mailbox.org
Curious to know which of the email providers offer bottom posting?

Genuinely asking after using Gmail and enterprise Outlook for more than 2 decades.

arunc··on Leaving Gmail for Mailbox.org
Can't agree more! I've analyzed my urges to migrate in the past decade or so and I've ended up staying with GMail for exactly these reasons.
arunc··on D2 (text to diagram tool) now supports ASCII renders
Conversion from ASCII is nice. How do we get the original D2 source if there's a need to update the diagram?!
arunc··on Claudia – Desktop companion for Claude code
May I know what the other 2 tools are?
arunc··on Whitehouse Moves to Destroy Satellite That Monitors Greenhouse Gases
People get what they ask for! :-(
arunc··on Microsoft is open sourcing Windows 11's UI framework
> Alignment with Microsoft Goals

> We are being thoughtful about resourcing. This effort is happening alongside other critical responsibilities like security, platform stability, and support for existing products. Our current focus is on foundational work that unlocks value for contributors and increase transparency. We are aligning this work with Microsoft’s broader business priorities to ensure long-term support and impact.

I don't sense any benevolence in their words. They are just pulling off their resources and dumping the framework on the public, hoping passionate losers will contribute.

arunc··on Fast
I might get down voted for saying this on HN, but I'll still say it.

As C++ devs we used to complain a lot about it's compilation speed. Now after moving to Rust, sometimes we wish we could just go back to C++ due to Rust's terrible compilation speeds! :-)

arunc··on Font Comparison: Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono vs. JetBrains Mono and Fira Code
Thanks. I'm happy with Iosevka. Wonder why it doesn't get the popularity it deserves.
arunc··on Brave blocks Microsoft Recall by default
It is about investors vs users. Microsoft chose you know who.
arunc··on US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists
Or agenda.. Who knows?!
arunc··on New antibiotic that kills drug-resistant bacteria found in technician's garden
Antibiotics are not cheap. Make it cheaper and you will see how they will use it on livestock.
arunc··on Sourcegit: Windows/macOS/Linux GUI Client for Git Users
Thanks to the devs! I've been using sourcegit for a few months now and it is one of the best OSS cross platform GUI for Git.
arunc··on TUI editor and Vim/Neovim alternative
It would be good to share a link to what you claim to use.
arunc··on A powerful free and open source WAF – UUSEC WAF
Just curious, how do you test and benchmark the accuracy for such a product across different vendors, like CloudFlare?
arunc··on Welcome to Ladybird, a truly independent web browser
If the goal is to create a truly privacy respecting, safe browser that's focused on the web, why not write it in Rust?

Genuinely asking as I've tracked numerous CVEs in Chrome and Firefox. Also I don't have much experience with Rust, so I don't represent the RIIR community!

arunc··on Show HN: Amurex – An open source AI meeting copilot
Or turn it off by default and the interested users can turn it on.
arunc··on TikTok goes dark in the US
You know the answer.
arunc··on [dead]
Click baity title, why bitch about Microsoft?
arunc··on What is a second?
> Incidentally, “cesium” is the American English spelling of the name of atomic element 55, and “caesium” is the IUPAC spelling.

I'm so glad we settled on common notations (drived from Brahmi script) to represent numbers. On one end, we humans chase precision with math. On the other end we humans can't even agree on spellings in the same language spoken in different continents. I wonder if spelling differences has resulted in any critical failures such as the metrics conversion error in NASA Mars Climate Orbiter in 1999 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter
