Yeah. I feel like any gen 1 product is going to have a lot of issues. So unless you really want to be a super-early adopted and deal with the issues, lack of apps, etc. it's hard to justify a purchase. I love being an early adopter, bu

From looking at the screenshots of gameplay, a lot of the "monsters" look like straight up copies of pokemon. I don't think you can copyright gameplay, but those monster designs, one could argue are replicas of an established

Overly positive, uses lots of big words to explain simple concepts, the entire post feels very sterile. I can't quite pinpoint it, but I know when content is AI generated when I see it.

But again, you have the choice of not using Epic. You can use Unity, or any other game engine, or even make your own if you're so inclined. With Apple, you don't have a choice if you want to be on iOS (which has close to 60% marke

I don't think the issue is how high the fee is, the issue is Apple forcing developers to use their payments platform. Apple is within its right to charge whatever they want. Unreal Engine is free to charge whatever fee they want. But y

Apple's hardware is unmatched unfortunately.

Honestly if forcing everything through Apple's walled garden wasn't anti-competitive enough, this move certainly makes it so. What's next - pay 30% Apple tax for purchases made through Safari? I'm deeply embedded in the

I agree there. It's def a hard problem to solve that requires global cooperation. But I believe there is very little actual appetite to even attempt to solve the issues. As long as the shareholders keep getting a return on their invest

This is pretty scary. The worst part is nobody in charge really cares. As an individual you can reduce, reuse, recycle, and do your part perfectly and it makes zero difference.

I'd imagine people that learned to code at a crappy bootcamp where they were told to just find npm packages for whatever they're trying to do because they're better/safer/faster.

No Super Cruise is different. The blog post explains the difference between the two. Super Cruise - Hands free driving on highways Ultra Cruise - Hands free self driving cars almost anywhere Ultra Cruise was never released.

Not surprising at all. Self driving cars that can operate safely and make good decisions in almost any space has always been a pipe dream.

Yeah and personally I've been on both ends of the spectrum. I think there is something to be said for pre-mature optimization and over-optimization. But I do feel like it's a lost art these days.

by ado__dev 3y ago
Absolutely. It really is a double-edged sword and there's so many factors that play into. Do you spend a ton of time writing beautifully optimized code, but ship less features, or do you ship a ton of features that mostly work. I feel

by ado__dev 3y ago
I feel like nobody really cares about optimization anymore. It's just "ship, ship, ship, move faster, ship." So there's a lot of tech-debt, a lot of unoptimized code, and a lot of "just make it work", at the ex

Anecdotally, yes. Google search for topics I'm unfamiliar with/wanting to learn about all lead to low quality, SEO-optimized to hell, clik-baity sites that are just riddled with ads. I have to add "reddit" to most search

Very welcome improvement. I overlooked SQLite for far too long relegating it to just a "toy database, not meant for real world apps". Boy was I wrong.

Yeah a lot of apps charge about 30% extra if you subscribe through the app due to the Apple tax. It's best to go to the site directly and see what the actual price is.

Not surprising at all. I wonder if there's an app or extension that automatically hides these fly by night companies off of amazon. I feel like it would hide 98% of products sold on amazon, but that's a risk I'd be willing to

Good move. I still feel that the egress fees charged by the big 3 are way too high.

The barrier to entry in creating a GPT is almost non-existent. And very few of them provide any sort of unique or better experience than the default. Not sure what people were expecting to be honest.

I have had an EV since 2018, love it to death, but would absolutley never rent one. The biggest pain point with EVs imo is charging infrastructure. My personal car, I can charge at home so it becomes a non-issue. But if I'm traveling t
