What does that mean? You need to use a script to get it to rotate?

>so ~3-4x as expensive as the consumer counterpart

This is likely the answer. If CCC has to ask for donations to afford the consumer version, I imagine they are in no position to purchase an equivalent amount of storage in enterprise SSDs.
On the other hand I think subscriptions have vastly improved the quality of software.

Having to win your customer's business every month or year forces the product to continue improving. If the product doesn't get better, then customers leave.
Money isn't everything.
How much experience do you have? Have you built something similar before? Where are you located? Where is the client located? Are you to be on-site or is this all remote? How large is the client?

Your location determines pay ranges, clients location & size determines their comfort & expectations with respect to costs. Remote or on-site determines costs of delivering the product.

There are other factors too, but those get the basics covered.

Yes. It is highly recommended that you read that book (buy it to support the FSF). If you want more I wrote a book on GNU Make (https://nostarch.com/gnumake) which takes things further than the GNU Make manual. A large amount of the content of the book came from a sequence of blog posts on GNU Make by me: https://blog.jgc.org/2013/02/updated-list-of-my-gnu-make-art...
You are correct. I think that introducing more silo's into a system would be a bad idea.

I was thinking about this last night and I think it'd be interesting to see authors actually have to cite another post that has a good strong counter argument to theirs and point out places where they disagree. It probably wouldn't work on a systemic approach but might work if an individual with this sort of temperament did it.

I don't understand this article. The author is using something that manipulates the style of inputs to make them dark with light fonts... but only if the input isn't explicitly styled with either background-color or color.

If they're going to be doing such hackery, just style both at the same time. Use JavaScript or something to ensure both are styled. This really isn't the developer's concern.
This is the part that I was really shocked to see. International law clearly protects the right to leave one's country freely and relocate to any country why one may be lawfully present, as well as the right to receive asylum from oppressive governments.

Is that really an observation ? I personnally observe than Japan in fact practices fixed book prices.
Because the symbols' translation to English words changes on context, culture, and even author. It's like trying to translate the word "rain" only by hearing it without having the context if it really meant "reign" or "rein". With some mathematical training, you don't really need the symbols to know what's being talked about, because you already have enough context to know what should be talked about and what fits into the context, regardless of how it's written down.

Anyway are symbols really the main obstacle for you? When you read "every second countable regular Hausdorff space is metrizable" (theorem 59 in this paper), you have no problem understanding what this means?
Blood oil, another reason to get off our hydrocarbon addiction. Without the constant influx of cash, having lost all their mighty power, it will be child’s play to neutralize these sickos and eradicate their morbid culture.

OTC pseudoephedrine packaging makes it clear you should ask your doctor if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, enlarged prostate or several other conditions. I might prefer that it say why, but this is at least enough to get me to google it if I have reason to be concerned about any of those things.

I want to be trusted with medicine that actually works, and that means I need to take some responsibility for understanding the dosing and side effects before I take it.
TrustFlight | Leamington Spa, UK (ONSITE) | Full Stack/Front-End Developer & UI/UX Designer | £30-60k + equity

It's not useful advice. One does not simply add complex script support to some simplistic text drawing codebase. You have to take on dependencies to codebases at least an order of magnitude larger than GuiLite itself (wc harfbuzz/src/*.{h,hh,cc} is 86kloc and doesn't include the Unicode functions). Thus, it's a major architectural decision to support complex scripts at all, and to figure out how to do it.
Buzzfeed started with clickbait trash, then hired investigative journalists to do some good journalism and winning awards (two time Pulizer finalist)

Now they are cutting people from the low effort side but keeping the investigative journalism intact.

It's interesting business model. Produce cheap trash in large volumes to people who consume it and to do little real journalism on side. It really confuses people because the Buzzfeed brand image is schizophrenic. It's both news & bullshit.

This was news a few months, wonder why it's just now hitting HN.

FYI, many import tariffs on products like cheese and meats are not immediately effectively - they gradually phase out the tariffs over a period of something like 8-10 years, so cheese will continue to be expensive for quite a while.
You can only sideload up to a certain number of apps (3 IIRC), only for seven days at a time, and only using certain APIs (cannot for example use notifications), all of which would pose serious limitations.
Anyone who works in the field or tough conditions just goes for toughbooks. These things can withstand pretty much anything you throw at it.

I struggle with how low contrast it is. I skip 'Ask HN' style posts because they are too hard to read.
How does it not?

The article even states: "Don't set the colors at all, let the browser use the system default color".

If a developer wants to express some intent maybe utilizing something else other than color would resolve some of these issues. If I can develop without color a user can read without color https://github.com/maio/eink-emacs

Makefiles, Best Practices: Don't write Makefiles, use a higher level language to describe your goal and some tool to execute it (either directly or through generating a Ninja file).

From the article:

> Though, that might be a problem for some users, especially those with a default dark theme on their systems.

It's a real issue, every time I set a dark theme, web pages become affected because the defaults get changed. I think the issue should be fixed by the browser vendor really. Eventually I get frustrated enough to just disable it altogether.
We all send out packets with our MAC address, which is supposed to be unique, so it seems like it would be easy to correlate the two profiles, since the MAC address is the same.

Makes me think there’s not going to be an effective technological means of resisting tracking.
Just because something is the only game in town doesn't mean you should use it, that logic doesn't make sense. We need to work on developing better systems rather than saying "oh well, it's the only thing we've got!"

That's exactly the point. The system by default sets both colors, though most browsers I've used allow the website to override the colors. In these cases, the websites only override one but not the other.

The MAC address doesn't leave the local network, an internet service can't see it. (Sometimes IPv6 addresses are derived from it, but any modern OS should use privacy extensions, which create randomized addresses)
Cool story! When we're talking about UK that will be worth bringing up.

In the UK you go to jail for defending yourself [0,1,2]. The UK police themselves tell you the only legal tool for self-defense is a rape alarm [3].

If you think it's good the UK government has made the choice for people on how best to defend themselves, that's cool. I understand how if you've grown up with that culture, it's probably difficult to understand the freedom of choice we have in the USA.

Don't charge hourly. It's going to cause friction and disappointment on both ends. Estimate how long it'll take you and give them a flat rate.

200-250 hrs is wildy optimistic, especially for a new developer. I built a booking system as an expert developer, and it took longer than that. You should at least double your best guess at a time estimate.

> they are taking a risk with a new developer

They, and you, shouldn't take this risk with sensitive data and payment info, unless you plan to have it reviewed by a security pro.
2 years total of programming, the last year being the year I seriously committed to programming full time.

The client is a one year old startup with a few tens of thousands in sales since launch.

I have built a picture converter from scratch that involves payment processing, client settings management, email capturing, so I feel very comfortable being able to do this. This one is live and online.

Other than that, my experience is simply spending the last year and a bit of the year before learning Python, React, Redux and building projects with them but not releasing them all yet. It's not a ton of time, but I learn very quickly and don't see this potential project as that big of a challenge, given I've seen and done most of this stuff at least once before.

The client and me are in Canada and this is all remote with a few progress update meetings here and there.
> Yes, that’s kind of my point: The introduction of the scientific method fundamentally changed research, and Universities as institutions.

Hm, perhaps I misunderstood you? I fully agree that the rise of the scientific method around the time of Newton "fundamentally changed research". But I don't see how it had the same kind of impact on the university as an institution of higher learning and research. The structure of groups of scholars doing research (whatever method they used) didn't much change, after all - or am I wrong? If I am wrong, could you give some details, please?

If you're interested, I reviewed the book here: https://terranostra.one/posts/Gods-Philosophers.html (Though I didn't pay particular attention to the role of the universities in the review).
1) Anonymity by default, and something like indieauth[0] to validate identities for non-anonymous posting, without having to store user account data on the server.

2) Ephemerality by default. Automatically delete old or non-productive threads, and give me the ability to download data associated with my account or delete it at will.

3) Hackability by default. Offer an API to allow third party clients, and add metadata to the HTML to make writing plugins easier.

> many people a cold with congestion turns into a sinus infection if not treated with decongestants. Then you actually do need the antibiotics!

This isn't strictly true either. An otherwise healthy person's body will take care of most sinus infections[1] itself given a little time and care. When it turns into something longer-term, that's when antibiotics may come into play.

Am I the only one who opposes this? Of course "learn to code" and don't brag about it once you can.

Mathematicians don't brag when they do arithmetics, and they never, ever advise each other that arithmetics is useless. Lawyers don't brag when they read and write long text documents, and it is a useless idea to dismiss the importance of such patience. There is no a few hours quicker way to do a heart surgery for a surgeon even if she is so used to doing it.

Please, for the love of your craft, accept that it is OK for some things to stay difficult.

In the context of this article, if you are not gonna learn how to code, then make someone who can a stakeholder of the project. Or maybe consult to a professional!

In my experience, someone who can't do a "Hello HTTP" in at least one language will simply get lost in the huge dashboard of AWS or any other similar cloud service. Even when your solution doesn't involve novel technology, sticking existing components to each other will require coding skills. You don't want to paralyse your dev schedule due to a never ending SQL query which is quite likely to happen to a newbie "hacker". "Undefined is not a function" can mean 48294839 different things, which will scare you to death if you don't know what you are doing.
