Brazilian hobbyist programmer. I mostly do my own thing but I've contributed to some free and open source projects.
I created the lone programming language, a lisp for Linux:
https://github.com/lone-lang/lone
The projects I've published are on GitHub:

I can be reached via email:
hn@matheusmoreira.com
I also have my own website:

If you like my work, consider sponsoring me:

No pressure though. I do this because I enjoy it.

I lived through a form of that during my time playing a certain mobile MMORPG. I was one of the top players and belonged to a group of other top players. I just didn't want to let my online frien…

> it compels play even when it isn't fun That's the power of positive and negative reinforcement. They want to shape the behavior of players. They want players logging into the game multi…

It won't help if the ad is part of the actual video itself, though. Only video editing can undo that damage.
comment
Lots of modern games are actually casinos under the hood. Way too many of them involve paying for the chance to win something. Real casinos are regulated, but the video games industry still enjoys c…

I think it's sad that people have to go beg some "copyright office" for permission to do this in the first place.
comment
Same reason repairs that required bypassing HDCP were denied: it would weaken the effectiveness of the DRM implemented by current high definition media formats. The billion dollar copyright industry w…

I'm sure they'd start caring if everyone started blocking their ads instead of accepting them. Maybe one day we'll have augmented reality glasses with built in ad blockers; I wonder how…

Printed ads aren't malware vectors.

> Why do I still see ads? Because you haven't installed an ad blocker yet. Get uBlock Origin, enable all the filters and don't look back.

I agree. I've seen some electrocardiogram peripherals for phones and they apparently only support lead II. Ability to instantly start recording a long II anywhere anytime is awesome but it is not…

A doctor stands before a judge due to a malpractice lawsuit. Do you think they will be interested in whatever novel research he used to justify his decisions? They're going to ask what the establ…

How effective is ungoogled-chromium at removing Google from the browser?

What if we use ungoogled-chromium instead? How effective is it at removing Google from the browser?

> Imagine that function A binds the variable FOO, and calls the function B, which calls the function C, and C uses the value of FOO. Languages that lack dynamic scoping typically propagate a refere…

Society cannot guarantee that 100% of the population will have no reason to commit crimes. Even something as fundamental as not agreeing with a certain law can be reason enough to break it, as seen in…

That's incredibly abusive.

Is there a way to set the processor's clock? It'd be nice if the user could slow it down make it easier to observe and understand the state changes. Maybe even support breaking execution in …
comment
I think it is hilarious how copyright actively prevents content distribution companies from properly competing with piracy.
comment
What a beautiful board. I love how you can see the processor working. I'm sad that they have no plans to make other processors as well.

Didn't Microsoft get sued for this kind of behavior? I thought they'd stopped employing these tactics.
comment
They will never stop asking for more power to police the use of their imaginary property. They'd push for mandatory deletion of copies inside people's brains if that was possible.
comment
I mostly agree with A. I don't agree with the "if it doesn't happen on its own" part. If they can't make it work on their own, is it really meant to be? Should we keep making …
comment
I don't believe in those rights either. They're just as artificial as copyright to me. Criminals and even the government itself violate property rights on a daily basis. The low level concep…

They seem to be focusing a lot on phones nowadays. What about the laptops? No progress on that?
comment
> That's a bit harsh, don't you think? No. Given the chance, these people would turn all the computers we use and love into locked-down content consumption machines. I think it is safe to…

> You disagree with the notion, that people that produce content should be paid for it? Nobody disagrees with that. The fact is copyright exists to create artificial scarcity. "Content"…

Even if you become a politician, you cannot do what you set out to do without support from others. They will ask you to your face what kind of profit they'll be making off of your changes or refo…
