Epic has second place, copy cat syndrome (quake vs unreal, id tech vs unreal engine, steam vs epic store)

If it wasn't for fortnite they'd be gone

Honestly they should build for AI users. AI asking questions, AI answering, AI upvoting. Like a "good/not evil" version of the AI agent coordination message board

>I have a reasonable amount of confidence in Apple's due diligence around vetting apps on the app store. I can't think of another major brand that I would trust on this matter.

You should try submitting an app on the app store just to prove to yourself how not true this is. Even in the AI era. They do vet, but it's not as substantial as you think

doesn't have to be profound, just something that is verifiable and have it loop until some statement is true:

"pull out all hardcoded strings in web app into i18n files. do not stop until hard coded strings linter stops complaining"

or

"create tests to test uncovered lines by code coverage. do not stop until all files at at least 95% covered per the reporting tool output"

The dhh hn smear campaign continues

The nuance is of course that dhh is both correct and not exactly right at the same time, and doesn't really have any affect on you. Rails is still great for solo/small teams moving fast technically and product wise. He's also right that rust is good for established services (with possibly larger teams) that prioritize performance. Just as it always was, but now the transition from rails -> rust/others is much quicker with ai

neko_ranger··on Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why?
Free private repos on github is relatively new, only introduced after a rise in popularity of gitlab (which has free private repos).

Seems like github is too popular for itself.

neko_ranger··on 'Pervert glasses': Backlash against Meta's smart glasses grows
>ctrl-f "headphones" and "speaker"

>0 results

I have the meta glasses (never wear them outside because of the stigma), and the actual killer feature is the headphones, not the camera/ai stuff. Not the sound quality per se (though it's pretty good and someone else has to be really close to hear leakage on max volume), but it's nice just being able to have a pair of sunglasses on and be able to listen to music and your surroundings while on a walk or cooking without stuff jammed in your ears. And removing the camera stuff will make the glasses look nicer since less tech needed. I know there are brands that specifically do audio only glasses, but "reddit" says they're all middle quality from my research. If anyone has experience, please share.
