_blob··on REA Reverse – Engineer Anything
Very likely. Also noticed when a repo gets on the trending list on github it gets swarmed by some form of contributors and most of those contributor profiles started contributing to random repos around March/April. It's a pattern but dunno what to take from that.
_blob··on Show HN: Quake ported to safe Rust, playable in browser
The "clean room" approach here is using public documentation to assemble a roadmap/guidance and computer use to get any other behavioral output and visuals from the software you wanna clone. The agent doing that will just do something which looks completely innocent to it (e.g. create a rectangle on the canvas and then rotate it).

The other agent then implements the documented journey.

_blob··on When in Go, do as Gophers do
In the original code if out.Close() returns an error, run() will return nil. The revised code sets `err` to the returned error from out.Close(), in case the error from os.Create(*output) is nil.

Simply spoken, the original code will suppress the error from out.Close().

The gmail app still allows you to use a list to select different accounts (tap on the account name).
