masijo··on ravynOS: Pre-alpha open-source OS based on Darwin, FreeBSD, Apple open-source
Would be nice to have a screenshot in the overview page
masijo··on Ask HN: Does anyone else feel like nothing matters anymore?
Sounds like alienation to me. We’re experiencing it first hand thanks to AI.

masijo··on Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language
Sounds very similar to my experience with Clojure. I think Elixir and Clojure are alike in that regard.
masijo··on Phel v0.36.0 – Lisp on PHP, now with numeric tower and first-class Vars
I've been following this project for a while, congratulations on the release!

Even though I don't have much use for PHP at the moment, I wish it finds a niche in the market and becomes widely used. Good luck!

masijo··on The AI industry is discovering that the public hates it
AI has automated my favorite part of the job: coding.

Gone is all the experience in clean code, good idioms, etc. All replaced by easily generated shitty code that can be removed and generated again as we please, until it works. No thought about the quality of code itself. Some companies are straight up forcing programmers to live in Claude Code and never even see the code, just write the spec.

It’s disgusting. And the worst part is that you can’t opt-out. If you give even the slightest hint that you don’t like AI you’re seen as a Luddite and you’ll be put next in line for the upcoming layoff.

masijo··on Native Instant Space Switching on macOS
I thought I was the only one that noticed this and it was driving me insane. Can’t believe the experience is so sluggish, makes me miss KDE so much which is ridiculous.
masijo··on My minute-by-minute response to the LiteLLM malware attack
>But I created $100k worth of code just yesterday recreating a poorly maintained (and poor ux) library.

How, exactly, are you calculating the worth of your code? Did you manage to sell in the same day? Why is it "worth $100k"?

masijo··on 1M context is now generally available for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6
>Being in a tight AI loop just wasn't part of the design of any existing programming languages.

I would dare to say that any Lisp (Common Lisp, Clojure, Racket, whatever) is perfect for a tight AI loop thanks to REPL-driven development. It's an interesting space to explore and I know that the Clojure community at least are trying to figure out something there.

masijo··on I'm helping my dog vibe code games
And the most HN title award goes to...
masijo··on De-dollarization: Is the US dollar losing its dominance? (2025)
>we know what a de-dollarized world looks like - imperialism

Is this some kind of joke? Or is it only imperialism when other countries besides the US do it?

masijo··on Samsung makes ads on smart fridges official with upcoming software update
How are people still buying into the whole "voting with your wallet" crap?
masijo··on Memory access is O(N^[1/3])
It's getting very annoying to see posts that use ChatGPT as source, sadly it seems like this is the future.
masijo··on Boring work needs tension
I used to feel this way until management made AI tools mandatory.
masijo··on SkiftOS: A hobby OS built from scratch using C/C++ for ARM, x86, and RISC-V
I wonder the same thing.
masijo··on Show HN: Munal OS: a graphical experimental OS with WASM sandboxing
Jesus, can't people have fun anymore? Does everything have to be "important for humanity"?

Do you listen to music, read books, have sex etc? I bet you do. And I also bet that you would find it pretty ridiculous if someone asked you why you do those things instead of helping humanity.

masijo··on Denmark to raise retirement age to 70
We need a revolution already, it's overdue. Fuck this shit.
masijo··on Clojure: SQLite C API with project Panama and Coffi
Man, this FFI looks extremely clean!
masijo··on Matt Godbolt sold me on Rust by showing me C++
Clojure has this

    user=> (#(println %1 %2) "Hello " "Clojure")
    Hello Clojure
masijo··on The Brief Origins of May Day
> making six figures typing away in a well furnished office

I don't know about you but I don't make anything even remotely close to six figures...

masijo··on The Brief Origins of May Day
You know, there's a lot more to the working class than just manual labor. Anyone that depends on a wage to live is a worker, and we all share the same struggles.
masijo··on LibreLingo – FOSS Alternative to Duolingo
Wish there were similar pages for other languages, I want to learn Russian and I can't find anything with this quality.
masijo··on Trump temporarily drops tariffs to 10% for most countries
So he's basically gaming the market with insider trading.
masijo··on Show HN: OpenNutrition – A free, public nutrition database
Well, OpenFoodFacts are actual facts. This seems to rely on LLMs to do the job.
masijo··on Ask HN: Should I learn COBOL at 14yo in 2025?
Stop thinking about the job market bro, you're 14. Go outside and have fun.
masijo··on Would You Rather Have Married Young?
I don't believe in the institution of marriage so no. I don't need some religious arrangement to justify my love.
masijo··on Solving SICP
Great website! Hope you continue with it, love the layout
masijo··on Why Clojure?
I really don't understand what flow is and what problem it solves. I've read the commit comments and some posts but I still don't get it.
masijo··on It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds
As a third worlder, this is hilarious. I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh at the panic some people are manifesting over the US no longer being the world police and involving itself militarily in another continent.

I don't like Trump, I really don't, but I hope he continues with this. Sadly he probably won't do the same with Israel though.

Man, people will believe anything they get told about the DPRK won't they?
