Render doesn’t require you to use a YAML file though.
I’ve deployed a couple of things there and never used the YAML files, just the UI.

The more interesting aspect I find here is that in an open-source algorithm it is difficult to hide shady patterns that keep the user doom-scrolling.
So open-sourcing the algorithm would signal to me that a membership program is supposed to be a major contributor to Twitters revenue and ad revenue, which it currently most relies on, is going to be less important.
In my eyes that is a net positive.
Next.js also has a pretty small API surface and is generally quite unopinionated when it comes to your apps structure, while Redwood chooses more of the stack for you and what tools you should use (Storybook, Jest, Prisma, GraphQL).
I would also like to point out that while there are a lot of people rooting for Redwood's success and they seem to have some active core contributors, there is actual financial backing for Next.js and they have large enterprise users.
There are some startups that use Redwood listed on the 1.0 update website, but at least I do not know any of them.
That’s if you are fine with using JavaScript on the backend.
I feel like these types of games really benefit of the work that is put in to making humans and environments look realistic.
Heck, even if you're making some weird alien world you're still going benefit from realistic physics engines for example, because that's just how our universe works.
The app now has a tab bar on top with Home and Latest Tweets.
Where I live I’m quite the outlier for using Twitter, very few people use it. Most that do work in tech.
Is that different in other parts of the world? Is Twitter mainstream social media that almost everyone you know has?
However I’ve heard of very few people that prefer the algorithmic feed on Twitter, might be a bubble effect though.
The big part is time spent I think. I see the same thing with Instagram: I have about 120 accounts that I follow, mostly friends of mine.
I check the feed once a day and after 5 minutes I’m done.
But I also know quite a lot of people that spend hours on Instagrams explore page and with reels.
With your own carefully curated list there is a limited amount of content you can consume, until you inevitably leave the app.
But as you can see with TikTok or Instagram people spend hours on algorithmic feeds.
Switching between Safari on mobile and Firefox on macOS and Windows is fine for me this way.
There is also a proposal for directly shipping ASTs instead of JavaScript source files for performance improvements [0].
The problem with that is that, different to drugs, social media is not regulated (in terms of UX and manipulation of behavior/emotions).
Social media is allowed to make their platform as addictive as they possibly can. You’re not allowed to create and sell a drug that is perfected for addiction.
Social media and video games are sort of a Wild West in terms of regulation, and I think we’ll have to see some in the next years to combat this.
Zelda Breath of the Wild still costs 40$ or more where I am.
It is necessary to kick off SteamOS, but in I’d guess they are betting on capturing market share with their devices and OS, so that developers will put in the time to do Linux ports.
Proton is always a catch-up game and can’t seem to be the end-all solution.
You can emulate older games, get games for 1/4th of the price on second hand market and choose your store.
Paying 60$ for 5 year old games on my switch changed my view on console gaming.
Even if there’s a lot of room for games in the price difference between console and PC, I’d rather pay the higher fixed cost up front and then have cheaper and more games.
Maybe it’s just an ideological thing though and doesn’t make complete economical sense.
It was more of a trial and error thing than anything else, tutorials online worked more or less.
I see that it is incredibly easy to read, also for non-programmers, but I find it really hard to write, at least as someone that is not very into it.
Have a MacBook that I use for everything else though.
And if you’re asking why 11 over 10, it’s mostly for the UI improvements. I quite enjoy their new look and haven’t really found any drawbacks with the update.
I had the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 13 Pro afterwards, and the difference is night and day. I’d say the battery life on the 13 Pro is at least twice as good as on the 12 mini, and I wouldn’t attribute it to the 1 generation jump in technology.
Other options would include creating HTML pages on vscode.dev or creating a Next.js site with Stackblitz that is hosted on Vercel or something.
