bartekpacia··on Alternatives to MinIO for single-node local S3
I like how you got 4 different comments all starting with "Because..." hah!
bartekpacia··on Statichost.eu – European static site hosting
It’s obvious and implied that “European” here means “EU”, especially when talking about values.

Low effort comment.

bartekpacia··on Apparently Google hates us now
Is this irony? Cause there’s no way anyone believes these “we want to make the world a better place” cliches anymore lol
bartekpacia··on Hardware Attestation as Monopoly Enabler
all "hackers" be vibe coding b2b saas these days

the meaning of this word has diluted so much

bartekpacia··on Google Cloud fraud defense, the next evolution of reCAPTCHA
lol how edgy of you
bartekpacia··on Kimi K2.6 just beat Claude, GPT-5.5, and Gemini in a coding challenge
this smells like an ai-generated comment so much
bartekpacia··on Android CLI: Build Android apps 3x faster using any agent
It exists already. Wdym?
bartekpacia··on European AI. A playbook to own it
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?
bartekpacia··on Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI
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.

bartekpacia··on Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI
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)
bartekpacia··on Expanding Swift's IDE Support
The free Kotlin Multiplatorm plugin provides 1st class Swift support in IntelliJ IDEA. It’s heavily based on old AppCode codebase.
bartekpacia··on Europe wants to end its dangerous reliance on US internet technology
Maybe he should have clarified “we (with a spine and moral compass) in America”. Obviously he didn’t mean leeches like you.
bartekpacia··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
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)

bartekpacia··on X hit with $140M EU fine for breaching content rules
Please, please. I hope they pull out ASAP!
bartekpacia··on Migrating the main Zig repository from GitHub to Codeberg
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.
bartekpacia··on I made a downdetector for downdetector's downdetector's downdetector
It is funny, go complain on reddit
bartekpacia··on The hardest program I've ever written (2015)
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.

bartekpacia··on F-Droid and Google’s developer registration decree
The War on General Computation continues, and we’re losing.
bartekpacia··on Fernflower Java Decompiler
This sounds like a bug – I'd appreciate it if you could share an example of such behavior.

[I work at JetBrains]

bartekpacia··on US economy added just 22,000 jobs in August, unemployment highest in 4 yrs
lmfao
bartekpacia··on IntelliJ IDEA Moves to the Unified Distribution
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.

bartekpacia··on Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devices
> Russian soldiers participating in SMO

Russian soldiers participating in the invasion of Ukraine. FTFY.

bartekpacia··on CLion Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use
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)
bartekpacia··on Hunt for Red October 1990 (2016)
+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.

bartekpacia··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
I’m writing an interpreter for the Starlark language in pure Kotlin (no JVM dependencies).

I had this idea in mind for some time already, it began with me wanting to build a simple programming language (and learn in the process) and interest in Bazel. I got started about a month ago by going through the Crafting Interpreters book by Bob Nystrom (it’s crazy good), but now Im straying further and further away from it.

Overall I find the project a great mixture of fun and challenging.

It’s a private repo for now because it’s in a pretty rough state, and is still missing a lot of stuff, but I will release as OSS at some point. That said if someone would like it could be fun:)

bartekpacia··on The Alexa feature "do not send voice recordings" you enabled no longer available
Hahah, love it, thanks!

I’m a fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm but didn’t get to this episode yet.

It’s interesting seeing the progress of technology, with Larry using feature phones in the first few seasons.

bartekpacia··on U.S. pauses all military aid to Ukraine
bro you’re so out of touch with reality
bartekpacia··on U.S. pauses all military aid to Ukraine
What? Bullying who?
bartekpacia··on Apple's Software Quality Crisis
Freeform also works incredibly bad on my iPad (sluggish, unstable, crashing). It’s definitely a software issue. I never had such performance issues with Notability.

But yes. The overall decline in Apple’s software quality is evident and sad.

bartekpacia··on Maestro – Next generation mobile UI automation
the fact that it's open-source and nicely structured internally lets you "peel off" the topmost YAML layer and just use the underlying components to interact with the mobile device, using your JVM-compatible language of choice.

I recently made a lol-project at a hackathon exactly that way: https://devpost.com/software/hearthack
