New comment by kotrunga in "Apple’s Mistake (2009)"

kotrunga — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 20:48:19 +0000

I'm a developer, but just to play devil's advocate... think about the end user. Having a review process (though, Apple can improve theirs, see below) helps protect the end user. Programmers, companies, etc. can't just repeatedly push updates non-stop, starting with half-baked apps, iterating too quickly. How do you have a check process that ensures an app is up to standard and "safe"? In addition, the time cost to release adds value to a release, hopefully helping it be more thought out, bringing more value to the user.

Again though... I think the point is that Apple could have a better review process that A) values the developer more and B) shouldn't take as long. I agree with that.

Nice.

Do you have any sites that support the flow yet?

Your game looks like a lot of fun, and the concept is really cool. Would you mind telling us more about your process and the technical aspects?

Woah- this is my first time seeing a Jocko quote on HN. Nice!

And it makes sense- even if the team is "objectively bad", a good leader will help transform them.

The desktop experience, at least for me, has been amazing. Very fast and clean.

The download times for messages / etc have been MUCH slower recently. I’m thinking it’s because of the load they are experiencing. As more people donate and as they scale for the load I imagine (and hope) it might even be faster than it was before.

Ask HN: Best Repos for Learning Rust?

kotrunga — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 16:23:47 +0000

What are some of the best repositories in the wild for beginners to learn Rust by reading through the source code?

Looking for something that doesn't use too many external crates, and mainly relies on "vanilla" Rust.

Thanks :)

Regardless of how great the stuff in the repo is (I'll check it out)... this is amazing:
