it's not about the content, but topic. i am tired of reading about AI stuff. i am not interested in it whatsoever and it has been polluting HN for a long time time.

Go is simple. People like complexity. So the write abstractions to feel better about themselves.

Can somebody, please, make a browser extension that filters out every post on hacker news that is about AI?

Go is epitome of simplicity. Why on earth would you want to put another abstraction on top of it?

There is Solod project that is Go subset that compiles into C that is more interesting https://github.com/solod-dev/solod

SystemD is now a spyware and therefore any Linux distribution that i using it. Period.

New comment by gethly in "Ask HN: What is your dev set up like?"

gethly — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 08:09:30 +0000

Stuck with GoLand. I hate the company, use maybe 5% of the features, but there is nothing better out there.

FileZilla for FTP.

HeidiSQL and MariaDB for SQL.

1Remote for multi-session SSH.

KeePass for passwords, keys, configuration files or any sensitive data.

Occasionally I use Notepad++, VS Codium or Zed when I need to.

companies overhired when money was cheap during covid to inflate their numbers and push their marketcap. since cheap money is gone, they have no incentive to keep the workforce. this has nothing to do with AI.

gethly — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 07:58:43 +0000

Same. I started using it for Gethly blog. It's not perfect, some things make me crazy but overall it is better than draw.io that I used to use before. Excalidraw also has these great styles that just feel right :)

New comment by gethly in "Ask HN: How did you figure out what you wanted to do with your life?"

gethly — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 08:35:06 +0000

You need to figure out where you want to end up and then simply seek ways/paths to get there.

There has been a review of these apps some time ago. I know google/ms were worst and Aegis was on the top of the list(among few others whom i do not remember). I have been using Aegis for aeges :D

articles like these are useless without visualisations. one might just read the source code instead.

New comment by gethly in "Microservices and the First Law of Distributed Objects (2014)"

gethly — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:03:36 +0000

99% of systems out there are not truly microservices but SOA(fat services). A microservice is something that send emails, transforms images, encodes video and so on. Most real services are 100x bigger than that.

Secondly, if you are not doing event sourcing from the get go, doing distributed system is stupid beyond imagination.

When you do event sourcing, you can do CQRS and therefore have zero need for some humongous database that scales ad infinitum and costs and arm and a leg.

If Cosmic desktop would be finished, I would now be on Linux. But instead, I am back on Windows 10. Linux desktop is just not there yet. I will either skip Windows 11 and go to 12, or finally end up on Linux by necessity. Looking at the direction of Microsoft and Windows, I think there is no chance for 12 to be a good operating system that I would want to use. I know I can milk Windows 10 for another 5-8 years without any issues. So, we'll see. But then again, there is also HarmonyOS and who knows where *BSD desktop will be and other OSs that might come up. Maybe nVidia will make their own Linux based OS. Or Google. I think this is the direction the OSs are heading towards. The domination of Microsoft and Apple is near its end and if big corporations step in and centralize the completely broken world of linux desktop into few solid distributions, we can have nice things again.

well said. nothing more to be added here. have a fucking website. especially without dependency on third parties that if blocked it won't load - like fonts, cdns, captchas... and better jet, don't make it SPA if you don't have to. stick to basic html.

since flatpacks/snaps/appimages are containerized-ish, i see no point in these immutable distros any more. also, cosmic is where the focus of linux desktop should be, not kde or gnome.

age verification is always a backdoor for some nefarious constitutional rights-infringing policy because every child has their parents legally responsible for their well being and all the legal aspects as well. in other words, parents have the responsibility, and authority, to enforce what devices and what websites their kids are allowed to visit, and no silicon valley epstein pedos run by mosad should have any involvement in any of this whatsoever.
