Hacker News with Generative AI: Twitch

I started a devblog about mixing SwiftUI and C++ to make a Twitch app (kulve.org)
I figure the tech stack of Kulve is unique enough to be interesting, so seems like a good place to start for my first blog post. Kulve is a SwiftUI application that heavily leverages the Swift/C++ interop that got introducted with Swift 5.9. While it's not perfect, it offers just enough to be able to reliably blend the two languages together.

My legal last name prevents me from completing my Twitch affiliate onboarding (reddit.com)
Hi, I recently completed all four prerequisites for Twitch Affiliate. Naturally, I began my onboarding, and I filled in my information the way it is supposed to be filled in. However, when I reach step 4, I am unable to continue on due to my last name. My last name is Null, a programming term that also means invalid. When I input my name, I get this prompt showing that it is a null value rather than my name.

OnlyFangs has made 'World of Warcraft' into Twitch's best soap opera (rollingstone.com)
Sun pours through the lush foliage of a jungle, bleaching the pale limestone as a rotting man stands in the center of an otherwise empty arena, his yellow eyes leering from beneath a fringe of limp, blonde hair. Positioned around the edge are a hundred bodies, Orcs and Trolls and bipedal oxen shouting, demanding, the death of the dishonorable.
