When your make targets are mostly PHONY targets, you may want to replace make with (bunch of) shell script(s).

Honestly, who came up with that `make run` nonsense? I see this quite often in the pythonverse.
My 5 cents. Regardless if this is Apple or any developer, subscription service etc., I consider giving my credit card number / paypal for testing any trial software as directly abusive.

Maybe, it is just me but from my perspective this is a try to force buying from me by whatever means possible and doing me is like rejecting me as a potential customer: I will just never do it.

I hate the need of thinking about some money will be taken from me, unless I perform some action - I consider it as a huge violation of my trust as a highly fishy tactic.
Ha, I didn't catch the joke. Guess it seemed too much like genuine advice…

Hey HN -- today we launched Contrary Talent.

We created it because even if you go to an incredible school like Stanford, only 5% or 10% of the talented people out there go to the same school as you.

By building a network across dozens of universities, we can 10x the college experience.

Members of Contrary Talent plug into our network of backers (including the founders of Tesla, Reddit, SoFi, and many more great companies) for mentorship, get fast-tracked into cool startup jobs, and we'll fund companies members start or join.

Basically, we're trying to productize being a valley insider, and bring that to every top-tier builder.
Basecamp pays $1500 or so for take-home assignments. Do you offer similar compensation?
What companies based in Quebec do the "add an extra month to the first subscription cycle" approach? I haven't experienced that from any local company. I've only seen foreign companies use that as an attempt to hand-wave past Quebec public policy here without having to program anything different, by simply rephrasing the fine print.

For example, even though Amazon's systems have plenty of information that my ISP and my main shipping and billing addresses are in Quebec, Amazon markets 30-day Prime free trials to me and then notes in the fine print that Quebec residents get a 13-month first yearly cycle or 2-month first monthly cycle instead. But they also don't charge Quebec consumers for the 13-month or 2-month subscription until the end of the first month, and they don't charge us at all if we cancel during the first month. Smells just like a rebranded free trial with auto-billing.

I'm not convinced Quebec courts would uphold that as legitimately different from a free trial with auto-billing if challenged. The law isn't in place just to force a change in language, it's to force a change in billing or pricing behaviour. This isn't that. Do you know if the compliance of this approach has already been ruled on?

Additionally, the same law covers cancellation penalties and Amazon is noncompliant. Even after the free trial, Amazon is not supposed to charge a cancellation penalty more than the lesser of C$50 or 10% of the pro-rata remainder contract amount.

So, with the annual plan here still costing C$79/year, cancelling right after the first charge should cost Quebec residents at most C$7.90, possibly less since part of the first charge is officially allocated by the fine print to the initial month for Quebec residents. In practice Amazon keeps 100% of the cost in this scenario.

Article from 2015 discussing this:

Sure. The thread is about how immigration is beneficial to countries in long term.

It was the OP who came up with the example of France to say that is not true.

> It’s the reverse, the burden is definitive and ever growing.

So there are two possibilities

* The French example is one of the very few exceptions -> This means the point OP is trying to make is kind of useless. Exceptions are present in almost all the theories.

* French example is what will happen in all most all the countries -> In that case OP's point becomes just ironic.

Freedom to work on what I wanted during the day.
Also before the days where remote jobs were so common it was nice to be able to work from wherever, I considered it a luxury. I suspect that will be more and more common.
Except it is very user friendly.

Try to cancel your newspaper subscription - you have to call in and jump through hoops.

Try to cancel your cable or internet, you didn't realize the rate you got was a "promo" rate that required a two year contract?

I guarantee that if apple used the approaches others use, subscription revenue would be a LOT higher.

They send you an email saying, here's what will be renewing soon, click here to cancel. I end up canceling about 80% of what would auto renew.

And I hate the developers who are not upfront with the subscription price. If there is a free trial, what does it cost after. Even NY Times did this ($1/month in big print - fine print said something like $54/month after 1 month or maybe it was just in a link burried etc).
Customer Support Messengers Violate Your Privacy
Love the idea. I had a similar idea but using some type of WYSIWYG templating, but never started. I was afraid of finding a sustainable marketing channel. There is a lot of competition and any type of paid ads for those keywords are extremely high. I hope you'll figure it out!
But you'll run more flats with bike wheels because of how the inner tube will pull on the valve. For tubeless that's not an issue.
Yeah, that's what I mean -- snarf up the whole 20 MHz-wide FM band and decode/analyze/edit/rebroadcast each channel concurrently in nearby unused channels. I'm sure there's a GNU Radio block somewhere that does the capture part already.
It's by Gabriel Weinreich.
What? I am in love with Apple's way of handling subscriptions. I know that whenever I want, I can cancel it, no strings attached.

If the app does not deliver what it claims with the subscription, I can trust Apple to dispute it. For example, there are a couple of apps that offer subscription and amazing deals out of in-app purchases, but I simply refuse to subscribe that kind of applications, because there are a lot of shady companies want to take your money.
Basically the article says, "probably not", while pointing out the uncertainty of variables, particularly cloud cover.
It's great at what it does. Much more useful than I expected, feels more thought out than some commercial alternatives.

XEN Virtualization with their custom X-passthrough driver is super fast as well. No hardware acceleration of course, but it didn't feel choppy at all. As long as you have enough RAM (I'd say 16GB at least), it works pretty much like bare metal (even though there are several VMs running in background at all times for network, fw, usb, etc), way faster than Spice, VNC, RDP or Virtualbox (talking about UI not number crunching).
A wall of silence holding back racial progress in tech: NDAs
I used to be really into discovering beers, but I usually just drink Founders All Day IPA these days, with a German Pilsner as a backup. There are only a couple months out of the year here in Florida where I'd want something that over 5%, though.
> So what? You want to ban all websites with a comment section that are for profit? What about non-profits that make the founders rich by simply paying out a huge wage? Do you mean it should only be allowed to run on donations?

No, I'm just pointing out that a for-profit structure necessarily clashes with the public value that these platforms produce. The only platform that escapes this conflict and functions quite well is Wikipedia. I don't think that's an accident.

> The things you say are easy to say, but hard to actually make in the real world without running into many more complications.

Yes, of course. My point is that we need to start thinking of solutions. If doing nothing had no consequences, I would be heavily in favor of doing nothing. But I believe it's clear that things are going quite wrong.

> What if the US bans them, and Britain does not. Do you want the US government to systematically control the internet to prevent US citizens from using that British websites?

I don't want anything to get banned. I don't want any government to unilaterally control the internet. I just want people from every country to have some democratic input into the massive tech platforms that heavily impact their daily lives. Perhaps international data rights legislation is the solution. I don't know. But we need to start taking these problems seriously and discussing real solutions -- not just creating federated Twitter clones that offer an unwieldy UX that the average user will never adopt.
So intentional deception.
I've got no issue with you making this comment, it is a free Internet and it's nothing wrong.

However I am authentically and intellectually curious what drives you to do so (i.e., spoiling the post)? Is it a need for recognition? Do you believe the post is bad/wrong and feel the need to put the solution so that other people don't have to think about it? Or maybe it is some type of "FU" to the post because you can do it. Or maybe something else that I could not think of?

Really curious to get your POV!
DEATH TO FACEBOOK!
I tend to agree, but I think part of the problem is that there are so many other options out there. Each individual alternative option gets little attention by the market and it is really difficult to tell which ones are stable enough to be usable.
I've read there are various details of the airplane unrelated to aerodynamics that are considered fine in a legacy design but would need to be revised if the 737 MAX were to be certified from scratch.

Here is one example: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-boeing-737max/boeing-prop...

My understanding of that issue: The 737 is wired in such a way that was considered fine when it was designed. In 1998 an MC-11 crashed which resulted in revised design standards that would render the 737's wiring invalid, except the 737 was already a proven design by this point and consequently has been allowed to continue flying the way it is. The 737 MAX continues to use this wiring configuration, which was initially considered fine because the the 737 MAX "is a 737", a proven legacy design.

> Boeing did not forget how to design planes.

I certainly did not and would not suggest otherwise. It's possible I'm mistaken about the above, I'm certainly not an expert on FAA matters, but I earnestly don't think I'm wrong. If you still think I'm wrong, I'd appreciate a substantive correction.
How many browser exploits are you aware of that target the user's keyboard input directly? Because that's the level of complexity we're talking about here with MIDI. You only need to pass through what key was hit, for how long, and how hard, to have reasonable functionality.

Another day, another Apple anti-developer policy.

It is interesting to see how quick the Apple fanboys are to react, and explain how every move Apple makes is "user-friendly" and incorruptible.

I am just patiently sitting in the corner and hoping Microsoft enters the market so that developers have more alternatives.

Would love to see developers abandon iOS, and then for people to see how "user-friendly" Apple is with only Safari and Facebook on iPhone :)

Hong Kong is a part of the Empire that was severed recently, and not because the people there actively sought that outcome. I suspect that for some of the people concerned about immigration, that makes Hong Kongers more British-separated-by-ill-conceived-policy than foreigners.

what Modelica software do you use?
Your original argument basically applies to everything, why shouldn’t the government just pay everyone’s salary since we’ve all benefited from some subsidy. 80-90% of drugs are discover by private companies doing research. Also, i think you would find that those scientists that you claim could just be paid by the government would leave those jobs when they inevitably have an idea that their risk adverse bureaucratic boss doesn’t want to pursue. Then they will find some rich fiends to invest and start companies themselves and we will be back to where we are now :). Unless you force everyone to work for the state... Anyway, I don’t feel like getting into the capitalism vs socialism but if you do a bit of research I’m sure you can discover why the current model works.

I've got around 9 years of web development experience, and I'm looking for a new challenge. Ideal position is one where I either work with C++, Ruby (off Rails), or any new language.

Some of the languages I would be excited to work with but don't yet know include C++, Rust, Haskell, Elixir.

Although I still enjoy working in the web space, I would be very motivated to learn something brand new such as embedded programming.

This is a good point. One big problem with solutions that match the text of the makefile is that they don't catch dynamically-generated targets.

I have makefiles used for data-crunching that are parametrically-generated using $foreach in gnu make. One typical use case is "make these plots for all the data, for 10% of the data, or for just one example" - with targets generated by a $foreach(...) construct.

Asking make to regurgitate the targets it knows about catches these guys, grep doesn't.

There are many other examples of dynamically-generated rules, such as using macros that create rules via gnu make's "define".
