Prepare for a lot of copycat companies. Hey Devin, copy this company's software.


It will try and you end up with nothing but a bill from using Devin.


the most successful software will be a result of marketing and going viral (e.g. featured on HN) if the ais just constantly clone each other's apps.


So basically taking money away as an obstacle? It’s not illegal to copy an application. Look at Instagram’s stories compared to Snapchat.

The only difference is that there might be a little less profit incentive now. Perhaps we’ll get some interesting ideas from people who never would have been able to create them.


Hey Devin, copy Devin?


And this is the problem of today's AI. It is a spam generation machine.


I've been using Comic Code for a while for coding and it is the best thing it ever happened to me professionally speaking.

It teaches me not to take myself too seriously


Exactly. Feels like a whiteboard.

I’ve been using the normal Comic Sans for 3-4 years now. I don’t mind the non-monospaced-ness.


Me too! Programming has never been as fun as it is nowadays.


I love Comic Code! First font I actually paid for.


Not a rewrite but...

There is a Roguelike Tutorial - In Rust (https://bfnightly.bracketproductions.com/)


IMHO the video game scene is better than ever. Maybe you don't like what 90% games have become and that is fair. But go to itch.io and you will find a wide array of different games that will for sure suit your tastes. Maybe they are not that popular.


They lost the opportunity of calling it Tinderin.


I think nobody mentioned Ackee https://ackee.electerious.com/

It is cookieless and that makes it really interesting


Just copy the contents in a file and

    gem install reline
    ruby yourfile.rb

It is a nice ascii demo of a ruby turning around


There will be more pro esport players with their ps4 pro than professionals using airpods pro for their respective jobs.


Nope, I'll bet that many, many professional consultants and lawyers will now use these to take conference calls in even more comfort than the originals. Seriously, if you spend all day on the phone (aka, a professional), they're awesome.


Yes, and if quality is better than AirPods 1, they can replace pro wireless microphone kits from Røde, Sennheiser etc., just like iPhone Pro can replace many cameras.


I guess the problem is the store. The app allows to access valve's store (which is far cheaper than games in the apple store). If they remove the ability to buy games I am sure the remote desktop app would be ok.

I am guessing anyway


I have a hard time with this explanation, as the Steam Store is already available through the iOS Steam app which is available on the Apple app store.


I'm assuming it could be relating to the inability to play a game you've just bought, if limited to just the Steam Store app.

That alone isn't exactly competition against the first-party's store.


You can't buy games using the Steam Store app.


You can buy games with the existing Steam app. I do it all the time during the sales.


My bad, I remember trying to before and being unable to, I just assumed it would be the same situation as the kindle app.


You can't buy games that are in the iOS store from within the Steam app


The Steam app? You sure as heck can buy games through it.


Wait so TeamViewer, Remote Desktop etc. are all banned in the Apple world because I can use them to buy things from other stores?


And yet the Steam Store app is available on the iOS App Store.

This is a very strange decision.


It's a fluff app for messaging and so on, no actual gaming.


Yes, but it allows access to the store - directly contradicting rafadc's theory.


The difference is in the steam store app doesn't actually enable you to play the games on the phone itself, while the steam link app will let you do exactly that.


> so TeamViewer, Remote Desktop etc. are all banned


If they were wrapped up in a single package that was marketed towards buying and playing those games, using the same logic they quite probably would be.


So steam should release a game streaming app that’s separate from a store app.


But they disabled the store on the streaming app. So in function it was separate.


You know what let's me access the Steam store (and many others)? Any VNC client to my other computer.

Or just the regular Steam app. Check the screenshot page on the AppStore and you'll see the store with prices and all.


Valve has said that they disabled the store and got blocked anyway.


I don't have any apple products, however can you buy a RDC app and remote to windows and buy apps in the windows store?


The ability to buy games was removed from the Steam Link app.
