I find personally that the most comfortable way to augment my coding with AI is using GitHub Copilot's auto-completion. The code is produced in small blocks and guided by notes I p…

Calling them a "game studio" is cute, three years before this Butterfield and Fake had sold Yahoo their previous startup Flickr. Although not a huge financial success it was one of…

> Everyone wants to say they have something the llm doesn't. LLM can't waste weeks debating stacks and tools and then recast the problem as a new framework that needs to exist. * C…

The reproducible build process is also a critical component, not just source code access, because what you download from the marketplace could be different to the source. All boils…

The only truly-trustable option is basically F-Droid's reproducible builds (or similar) with source code availability: https://f-droid.org/docs/Reproducible_Builds/ Eg this app: ht…

Some interesting examples but to nitpick... Apple explicitly bans executing code that isn't bundled within the app and they historically don't revise these rules unless it's to inc…

Wasn't it actually talking about if you were gaming and streaming your gameplay and chatting at the same time?

The real waste is that tweaking a config setting is a one-and-done deal, I don't want my tools to be side projects that require maintaining their build chains and frequent customiz…

Very nice. I've become addicted to using the `openapi-typescript` libraries to ingest type definitions and then `openapi-fetch` for an automatically-typed client, your debounce lib…

Developers/Steam are expressly allowed to break the game in-place so even that is an imaginary "right".

> Steam's policy is that an already published game can only be delisted, allowing old owners to still play the game. I still own the original versions of Skyrim (before Anniversary…

I like this approach too, just have to build your tests around the expectation that there will be unrelated/residual test data. This is also very useful when you're testing the fro…

DSM is very nice, but this is a web interface for Linux they built a long time ago and have coasted for the last decade.

That's really just a side effect of processors becoming much more powerful, no point letting it go to waste just because historically a NAS had enough on its plate facilitating fil…

What that tweet doesn't mention is how much "big tech" has been fined/settled in the US - which is also billions of dollars collectively for privacy, competition and other issues t…

Even if if takes 5 years it'll still be worth it - AWS, Azure and Google Cloud are huge businesses. Everyone had a 10-15 year headstart on Azure and it's one of Microsoft's biggest…

I don't know, there's certainly mixed results so far for the DMA which has harsher penalties and none specifically for how this would play out with the DSA. We've seen Zuckerburg p…

> we also expect to grow a large business serving large customers as well So they'd have their own AWS / Azure / Google Cloud type service going? Probably the smartest thing they'v…

For Roblox their 6% of global turnover ($5b) is $300m which while it seems trivial, is 30% of their profit ($1b). For a company like Google this fine would be in the vicinity of $2…

Are you sure you don't have a tiny switch on the side? The manual indicates it should have one - https://www.keychron.com/pages/k4-user-manual

That sucks, the main reason I like KeyChron is the little switch on the side of mine that toggles between Mac and Windows! I wouldn't buy another keyboard without this feature TBH.…

It's a cute comparison but the stickers Gruber's referring to (CPU etc) are unnoticeable when you're actually using a laptop, they're static and out of the way and would never dist…

The difference is you can trust the compiler without knowing what System.out.println("Hello, World!") is going to ultimately look like, and the vast majority of what compilers outp…

Their VR is a flop now but Apple didn't know that when they did the AVP. Meta are selling millions of glasses and growing so it's looking like a hit.
