> They want higher salaries, damned' be what it does to competitiveness.

You're advocating against people seeking higher salaries because that hurts competitiveness? That is competitive behavior in a nutshell.

Why are you so hostile to populist policies in America?

Could you be thinking of libyui, but it was QT and ncurses based. I think it came from SuSE with YaST.

> fight back against my government, please

I don't understand what you mean by this? Fight back against what? Protective tariffs?

Is YC News an American website? It seems like all the comments are advising against American interests with regards to tariffs.

If he's making over $1 million annual, Apple’s App Store commission is 30%, but the App Store Small Business Program sets the commission to 15%.

This is funny because they aren't approving anything right now

Developers are wondering if they are the only ones on their forums: https://developer.apple.com/forums/topics/app-store-distribu...

Thirty years old. Hard to believe

I don't know why people hold on to all this extra software and features when with the tools its easier than ever to strip that out and refactor the end product in to a much more compact deliverable. Maybe once upon a time it was useful to keep legacy parts of the software solution around, but it can be recreated with fresh eyes if needed given the power of the new LLM models. My philosophy is if its not needed, it needs to be removed.

It is so much easier to add internationalization to a touchscreen over physical buttons

I just do iOS development and my opinion is this: Start with XCode then use an LLM to design and develop it out from there its great. The newer models work great with project files where they used to struggle. Using the Visual Code development tools alongside XCode, claude skills and 3rd party libraries and frameworks with SwiftUI and Swift 5/6 is really convincing me I should make apps full time again. Coding apps has become my dream job.

That's a lot of money just for network topography, but may someone let them in and it has a whole map of an otherwise hidden or inaccessible network.

Do you have a link to the note app? Just curious what could make it unique, not criticizing anyone.

But who will buy it? No knocks against building old projects, but the market will be flooded with extremely speciality projects. I miss when every app had a spec on the box. I think we need something like that for usage. A new modeling language or something.
