How is the QC and all?

What about Yandex?
tomekw··on Blaise – A modern self-hosting zero-legacy Object Pascal compiler targeting QBE
That’s so great! Thank you!

I wish something like this existed for Ada :)

tomekw··on Ada, its design, and the language that built the languages
Ada is underrated. I am spending lots of my time writing tons of open source software in Ada, mostly for myself, though.
tomekw··on You are not your job
I used to BE a software engineer. Then, I experienced a 3 years long burnout and got professional help. Now I work AS an Engineering Manager.

You are not your job. Do not put your ego in what you do. That’s something I discuss a lot during my 1:1s.

Thanks! Fingers crossed!

For this purpose I wrote an app called Five Years Back: I can write one entry daily, but I can see what I wrote on this day for the past 5 years. My writing streak is… 1399 days as of today. Only me is using the app.

Good job and good luck!

tomekw··on Show HN: A new package manager for Ada
I’m not trying to compete with Alire. I do Ada for fun and for the sake of doing Ada.

I want to go back to fundamentals and learn by doing how foundational things work. So the plan is to, kind of, create my own programming world in Ada.

I may come up with a way to transfer Alire packages to Tada, I may not :)

This is, for now, for my personal use, but I couldn’t be more happy if someone else finds it useful :)

tomekw··on Fastmail desktop app
Does anyone know if this is Chrome in disguise?
tomekw··on Doom-ada: Doom Emacs Ada language module with syntax, LSP and Alire support
It made it upstream!

tomekw··on Doom-ada: Doom Emacs Ada language module with syntax, LSP and Alire support
I will. This is a first step to gather feedback and everything.
tomekw··on Doom-ada: Doom Emacs Ada language module with syntax, LSP and Alire support
I will, I will. A man has to start somewhere ;) Thanks!

Nothing specific to Doom Emacs. And that’s great! I just packaged it so it just works! :)

tomekw··on Show HN: I made a customizable iOS browser for minimalists and myself
This comment has been written on Quiche Browser. Testing. Looks great!

So far the only thing I’m missing is to undo closing the tab (for 5 seconds?)

tomekw··on Ask HN: Who got hired from HN?
I got hired ~3 years ago by a small Clojure startup. Both the CEO and the CTO reached out to me and said: hey, we use one of your OSS libraries, would you like to talk maybe?
tomekw··on Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Almost one year ago, I’ve built a personal diary app with gamificatiin features: streaks and email reminders.

My current streak is 347 days! It really made ME journaling daily. A number of folks who have also registered maxed at 61 only :(

tomekw··on Show HN: Bearer – Open-source code security scanning solution (SAST)
+1 for Java, because that, possibly, means… Clojure? :)
tomekw··on Show HN: Write 500 Words a Day
OP, you have mentioned the entries are encrypted. Could you please explain how? :)
tomekw··on Ask HN: Host a website from a living room in 2022?
Thanks. Fortunately I've a static IP.
tomekw··on Ask HN: Host a website from a living room in 2022?
I know, but (1) it's not critical, and (2) come on! It's so fun and so web1, and I have a static IP! :)
tomekw··on Ask HN: Do you read news daily?
I've stopped reading news 3 years ago. One of the best decisions of my life. Before I was super anxious and had a big FOMO syndrome. Now I'm more relaxed and I sleep better.

If something is really important, I can be sure other will let me know.

tomekw··on I Started Journaling (2019)
Journaling is a superpower and heavily underrated!

I started journaling ~ 2 years ago, after 2 years in therapy and they complement each other.

I lacked the “framework” to easily reflect on the past self and see how I am changing and growing over the years so I created one:

(It’s nice to see other people find it usable as well!)

tomekw··on Ask HN: Web frameworks – which less popular frameworks are you using and why?
I use Pedestal (pedestal.io) because of:

1) Clojure is a superpower

2) Interceptor-based approach (think: dynamic middlewares) works really well and it’s flexible.

Clojure has no “frameworks”, but Pedestal has all the batteries I need included.

tomekw··on Ask HN: How do you avoid video game addiction?
Have you tried Escape From Tarkov? :P
tomekw··on BMW removing touchscreen from a bunch of models due to chip shortage
Can’t touch this!
