olcarl75··on Flock (YC S17) dumped by Boston for sharing data in violation of contract
I guess "building things that do not scale" didn't pay out here.

I guess they need to put money towards hiring engineers to implement features that government branches are asking for, rather than hiring a massive amount of sales/commercial lads to just go out and sell promises

olcarl75··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
how far can your copium go sir? Talk to any person in the Amazon area or in farms nowadays and you will see the net positive.

I do not live in the favelas, I live in the suburbs you are assuming stuff to satisfy your point
olcarl75··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
No it doesn't create reflections, I got the mini and it looks alright. You seem in disbelief just because my rhetoric doesn't justify your point. However even banks nowadays in Brazil use starlink because overall fiber is disrupted either by crime or drug fiends who thinks fiber is copper.

antenas are installed at an area not visible to people looking from the street

that's what a censor bureaucrat would say

Family lives in Rio/Brazil. With the efforts from our government every year that passes, public safety becomes worse and suburban areas get more marginalized, it got to a point where the drug traffickers from my area start cutting the fibers and leaving letters on mailboxes saying that from now on, anyone who wanted internet had to get their illegal internet.

Which meant shitty speeds and if you have a problem with billing/service you cannot complain to anyone. Their service would go down for days and there is nothing you can do besides rely on shitty 4G. When Starlink became available in Brazil this was the lifesaver for my family

olcarl75··on Fable 5 Is Back
this makes sense. I will give it a try via opencode and see how does it do.
olcarl75··on Fable 5 is Back
how does GLM-5.2 fare against fable/opus 4.8? I am thinking about moving my 5x subscription either towards the GPT equivalent or the GLM one (I heard GLM gives you 20x the token usage for the same price of anthropics 5x)
olcarl75··on SUV buyers undeterred by warnings of risk to pedestrians
yes we need more regulations Mr. Government. Why not use technology to advance robotics and self-driving when we can have more fines and scrutiny around the constituents.

ah well
olcarl75··on Omarchy Is Not A Distro
if we depended on you no one would use linux then. This is the type of garbage mentality that we need OUT this community.

We need Linux to win period. I don't care if it's called Distro, gist of envfiles, or a tank for gods sake. I want the market share for linux rather than macOs and Windows.

"omarchy install will include a bunch of proprietary software, including... what are we doing?? these are not the kinds of packages that any sane distro would ship to its users" - Ye this is great software. You know what is not good? when you download a distro that only has open source software and your codecs doesn't work, then that person just install windows again (true story many of my friends went through that). So please, don't tell people to skip stuff just because you dislike it

olcarl75··on GitHub experience various partial-outages/degradations
ah well, with agentic coding relying more and more on worktrees, I think it's about time to revive my good and old SVN server

olcarl75··on TailwindSQL – Like TailwindCSS, but for SQL queries in React Server components
everyday there is a new `insert something related to react` framework.

Everyday we stray further from the simplicity god.

olcarl75··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
I run a SVN server for my personal projects, home lab and home automation stuff.

I noticed that the SVN CLI workflow is a bit dated and I think there's room to create a graphite like experience for svn, especially focusing on stacking.

I am set out to: - create a modern CLI to interact with SVN

- create a subsystem to run alongside the svn repo (similar to gitaly)

- create a good looking web UI to browser the repo, review code reviews, etc

I wonder if the locks held in postgres are optimistic locks or what is the logic for database lock contention at the application level

Any chance of sponsoring Canadians via TN visa ?
olcarl75··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
Scriptwriting require specific formatting (set by Hollywood ages ago). Doing this in google docs is really painful. Besides that, people who work in this industry are already used to the format, so if you wanna pitch something to studios, they expect to be in industry format.

olcarl75··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
I am creating a webapp to let screenwriters collaborate when writing their scripts.

I have several friends in this industry and their tooling is either expensive, not localized for their market or straight away bad (I've seen terrible dataloss).

I got some inspiration from linear and am building it on top of ruby on rails with CRDTs.

olcarl75··on Ask HN: How do you choose languages for building applications?
if coding a webapp, I use full stack ruby on rails (hotwire/turbo/javascript with importmaps).

System stuff go/pyhon. I haven't had time to learn either Rust or Zig, but I think Golang is good enough for now.

I have a lot of java experience, but to be honest the opensource toolchain outside big tech is too much of a pain to use (say gradle or mvn). I believe SBT is quite good but learning scalla goes into the bucket alongside rust and zig.

olcarl75··on Serving 200M requests per day with a CGI-bin
2400 requests is somewhat decent. Having seen companies like amazon, where their website backend can only handle a few hundred RPS per box, 2400 ain't that bad.
olcarl75··on Yet another reason you should use Signal
Is your post related to a political stance against Elon musk, a distrust call against putting AI on a privacy first app or you don't like AI chat bots?

It's very hard to understand what's it you want people to get out of the blog post since it's just "don't use x, use y" and usually people rather get some reasoning rather than being herded to do what you want
