mekishizufu··on Announcing Stack Overflow in Portuguese
From Google Translate:

> The basic questions - those that once plagued every programmer - have not yet been made. You can write a question or definitive answer that will help tens of thousands of programmers in the future. (Oh, and do not worry if your question is already on the site in English.'ll Build you a website just for developers who speak Portuguese no longer need to use English to learn new things!)

Why not just provide machine translated versions of the original English questions with option to improve the translation?

I think that creating a brand new site will just split the large SO community and won't achieve much. Especially since you drastically limit the audience willing/able to answer the question.

mekishizufu··on The State of Rust 0.9
> the compiler should not complain that the expression is of type u8 and not u16 - it is safe to widen the type!

I'm actually glad it does because it often means there's an error. An explicit type cast is the way to go IMO.

mekishizufu··on CSS Variables in Firefox Nightly
The downside of this (unless I'm missing something) is that these variables need to be evaluated on the client side and inevitably slow down CSS processing (at least for the first time that is). I really like the fact that you can preprocess both LESS and Sass (and others) to just plain CSS and hide all of the dynamic behavior (far more then just variables).
mekishizufu··on IntelliJ IDEA 13 is Released
I wish they offered to download the release via torrent, the download speed from their servers is terrible (currently getting only +- 150 KB/s).
mekishizufu··on Github seems to be experiencing security issues
Hmm, 13 failed attempts for me as well. Glad I have the "Two-factor authentication" On just in case.

mekishizufu··on What is a y-combinator? (2008)
If you are curious about the topic, I strongly recommend watching these videos:

mekishizufu··on Clang is now feature complete for C++14
Good point. I will run the tests myself to see the current status.
mekishizufu··on Clang is now feature complete for C++14
Unfortunately libc++ is fully supported on Mac OSX only, with ports on their way. I actually use libc++ on linux but there're still some things that need to be fixed. [1]

mekishizufu··on Kids Were Terrified of Getting MRIs. Then One Man Figured Out a Better Way
If you're afraid of MRI, you can always try JRuby or Rubinius! :)
mekishizufu··on Ask HN: Homebrew for Linux?
> Contrast that, say, with npm -g. Most npm -g installs will fail without su, unless you are willing to spend a half hour reconfiguring where dependencies install--pretty fucked in my opinion, as you could potentially install something really nasty.

It's actually not that bad. You can tell npm where to install "global" packages in the .npmrc file:

  prefix = /home/foouser/npmlocal
and then just add the bin sub-directory into your $PATH.

> Now, many package managers like apt-get use curated databases for their packages. But in my view, this just is not enough. Homebrew's respect of the user's system is just superior.

Agreed. This matters even more as a lot of packages are available only through PPAs.

mekishizufu··on Refactoring GitHub's Design
I think it is an improvement except for the right menu. The list is harder to parse and the order is just completely wrong. The four most important links (Code, PR, Issues and Wiki) should always be on the top of the list.
mekishizufu··on Show HN: ikitrack, a simple ad management
Hey guys, I would like to present you ikitrack, a little project we've been working on for the last couple of weeks. It's an ad management system for small to medium web site owners. We consider this a MVP, we have quite a few ideas about what to add and improve but would like to get some feedback first.
