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:
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/
I can be reached via email:
hn@matheusmoreira.com
I also have my own website:
https://www.matheusmoreira.com/
If you like my work, consider sponsoring me:

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

Everybody knows what the root cause is: corruption. Everything in this country can be explained by that. Even people with integrity will eventually be corrupted because it's the only way to get t…

Agreed. He wrote an operating system, a compiler and a whole lot more. That kind of achievement deserves respect.

It'd be nice to see those ideas realized. I have some ideas myself but haven't started anything yet because I've been focusing on my studies. I already have one small project that I wor…

Why restrain oneself from starting an interesting project?

> Why supress them? Because they don't answer to the country's government. US-based internet companies answer to the US government only. This is an implication of nearly every site's…

The SCN is responsible for the circadian rhythm and thus a component of the neuroendocrine system. The article is about a possible neurological basis for the subjective perception of time.

I wish it allowed for even finer control, though. What if it could prevent one specific function from running? Or replace tracking functions with no-op ones? Or hook into HTTP APIs in order to let you…

Yes, I agree with this. People who don't know or care should get devices that they don't have to manage themselves. Personally I enjoy having the ability to write and run programs for the ha…

Is it not possible to stop the app from figuring out the phone is rooted?

As long as real computers don't go extinct, I can agree with this. I don't mind trusted computing; the problem is who owns the keys.
comment
A government's ability to control its population weakens as subversive technology evolves. The law is always behind the state of the art. This frustrates officials so much they react with incredu…

Hopefully they'll cite all of Disney's past legal cases and use them against Disney in court for extra irony.

While I agree that being able to own weapons is a great thing, that alone wouldn't stop all types of crimes. One might be able to protect oneself from some random robber and other opportunistic t…

> 3rd generation immigrants reverting back to the anti-social behaviours that exist in the countries they come from. Can you expand on this?
comment
> C ABI Is there really such a thing? I thought the ABI was dependent on the operating system and compiler. I agree that C is unique in it's ability to generate programs that can be interfaced…

Nearley is amazing. The authors even implemented Joop Leo's optimization. If the other published optimizations were implemented as well, Nearley would probably become the Earley parser implemen…

It is a huge problem. I don't fully understand the causes myself but corruption is likely to be part of it. People just don't have what is necessary to do their jobs and this demoralizes the…

They aren't. Acquiring a firearm legally is a ridiculously bureaucratic process where you must submit to psychological evaluations by the military and "justify" your "need" to…

I felt the same way as I learned Python. People told me Python had this magical framework built into the language and that I'd understand everything once I learned it. Turns out the built-in lang…

What about the laptops? What happened to their ambition to free the entire chipset? They seem to have switched focus to phones; that's all they post about now.

Is there a name for this aesthetic? I like the way it looks. Reminds me of aircraft HUDs.

You may not care about tracking individual people but in order to realize your business advantages you end up doing it anyway. They always put their business needs above those of the users. Increasing…
