The easiest thing to do is to probably just drag the hyperlink into the right window manually.

Or maybe you can script it at the OS shortcut level, making a URL handler script that captures all https links and then does a regex on them to decide which Chrome profile to launch. Note that the Chrome command-line to open a specific profile seems to change every so often, so not sure which of these is current, but hopefully one of them still works... https://superuser.com/questions/377186/how-do-i-start-chrome...
We don't have numbers on how much Patreon usage comes through the Apple app.

Patreon does.

I'm inclined to think the "write off the iOS app entirely" option was one of the very very first things they pondered, and the odds are that it's pretty clear that was going to be a very, very expensive option.
"Under-earning fees" sound like more than just a connection fee. The non-generation portion of a standard bill should cover that. If the homeowner has surplus, you'd expect that to be sold into the grid at some sort of weak wholesale rate, not the retail rate.
There are policies and then there is enforcement.
Very nice. I can imagine a publisher website using something like this to promote their books.
How are the books sorted?
Or the author thinks we're about to have a great time on the roller coaster at the funfair. Wheeeee!
No, I am talking about the high-stress job and abusive partner kind of stress.
Yep. Tried Wez and switched back to Kitty because it’s much faster.
That didn't work because you didn't pass the same slice in. You subsliced your things slice, which outputs a new slice.
Entropic also pointed out that they made new molds to take their logo off the case. How much did that cost? Why not just pay Entropic with that money?
The whole thing stinks...
As a Patreon user who primarily subscribes on a per-creation basis, I will be ending all of my affected subscriptions if they make this change. That was kinda the whole point of Patreon for me. I can support my creators but only if they actually produce some content. If they take a long break, they don't get any money from me, but they will also get paid automatically if and when they come back.
I always tell people, the most valuable thing you can buy with money is time. I can clean my house, but I am fortunate enough now that I can pay someone else to do it. I don't sit around and do nothing in that time, I enjoy my life or do other tasks. I never feel bad exchanging money for time.
New maintainer here, happy to answer any questions!
You can do a great deal. I have changed my life completely. We underestimate our power over our circumstances.
US colleges are cutting majors and slashing programs after years of delaying
That horse has left the barn. But if there was a conceivable way and leverage to get a cut on paid content on the open internet, I'm sure apple would find a way to coerce money from those visits too.

One analogy: By offering only Fairplay DRM on iPhone, they get a cut that might otherwise have gone to Google (widevine), Microsoft (playready) or some other third party.
> They still don't support upgrades/upgrade pricing.

What would this mean, exactly?

You can sell people a demo→full-version permanent unlock as a one-time purchase, same as you can sell DLC in a game.

And you can also have subscription tiers, where you get more features out of the higher tiers of subscriptions.

And you can, in theory, freely mix these — e.g. charging someone a subscription for the base version, and then charging them a one-time fee to unlock a specific feature.

If you want, you could even charge for app features as consumables (just like F2P games do) — where you pay to have a block of credits that you use up, or you pay for one month and then have to buy it again when it runs out.

What's the missing revenue model here?
The beauty of capitalism is that you can choose.

You don't even have to have a smartphone at all and if you decide to have one, you don't HAVE to have an Apple device.

There are countless other brands to pick.

If you truly hate the 30% thing, then don't buy an iPhone.
Why OpenCage Sponsors MetaCPAN
I don't know, but it seems pretty easy to come up with a theory here - a large portion of executive compensation is from company stock, and short term actions that drive up the value of that stock will always be preferred, because as long as they aren't holding the proverbial hot potato when the thing collapses, they'll be fine - (and likely even if they are left holding it, they'll be fine - golden parachutes and all that).

So people making the decisions tend to incentivize the things that will maximize the return for their time.
But then Apple could use their market power to remove those cheating apps from the app store, just like they are doing for the billing changes.
Wait a little more and maybe we won't need to add more choices to AWS amd64 or arm64! :-)

We have been working on decarbonizing the grid and were making great progress.

In 2024, we now have coal plants being restarted to power AI and cryptocurrency datacenters.
I addressed this in the comment below and sure, stress comes from lifestyle. By lifestyle I'm referring more directly to diet, choosing not to smoke/do drugs, exercise, etc. I was a lifelong athlete, non smoker, healthy eater.
Right, I think Julia would spot that if we get a Thing back, it's clearly not the Thing inside our array, because those are necessarily different Things.

If the function does return Thing, in Rust we can implement the mistake, returning a copy, but there's no plausible way to implement the intended functionality, we can get the matching thing out of an array we're allowed to mutate -- by swapping it, but now some different Thing is in the array of Things instead, that's what swapping means. If we're given the actual array, not a (mutable) reference as a parameter, we can destroy it and keep just the matching Thing to return, but now our caller hasn't got a Things array, it was destructively moved to give us a parameter.
Google's legal department is also very well-paid, but they've lost both the Epic lawsuit and the DOJ lawsuit. In some markets (e.g. search) they have dramatically more market share, but 27% of phones is still high enough to have some market power.

Antitrust doesn't care about the market share, it cares about actions taken to restrain competition. Government-granted monopolies (e.g. copyright law) have partial antitrust carve-outs: I can't sue Disney for owning the copyright over their own films[0] even though that's extremely anti-competitive. Apple was savvy and couched their defense around their ownership of iOS: i.e. "you can't tell us how we sell our OS". Google could not avail themselves of that argument in the Epic case because they had explicitly open-sourced Android.

But that's not the biggest problem. The Google lawsuit is unique in that not only did a lot of Google's own internal e-mails basically spell out exactly what crimes they were committing, but they also got caught spoliating evidence[1] by aggressively pushing relevant persons in the company to turn off chat history and recording functionality that was legally required to be enabled. In contrast, most of the decision making at Apple was "whatever Jobs thought was best" and people just did what he said. You can't subpoena a corpse. And while there were internal tech emails discovered in the Apple case, none of them were as damning as the Google ones, at least by the standards of a legal system that considers monopolies to be OK as long as you can pretend to be a starving artist.

As for games consoles, the argument[2] is that consoles are special-purpose devices while iPhones are computers. I personally disagree with this, consoles have "apps" now just like phones and they have the exact same positioning that allows them to gain supra-competitive profits like Apple does.

[0] More peripheral claims, such as having a monopoly over theatrical distribution, can and have give rise to an antitrust lawsuit. You have to prove that the market power they are using is above and beyond the market power the government intended them to use.

[1] "spoliate" as in, illegally destroy evidence relevant to ongoing litigation.

[2] Provided by Epic, oddly enough. I know they argued it to try and narrow down Apple's market definition, but I also suspect that was to avoid console manufacturers asserting some kind of universal default[3] / reverse class solidarity move and pulling Fortnite off PSN/Xbox/eShop until Epic drops the Apple lawsuit.

[3] Universal default is a clause added to loans that says that defaulting on any other loan defaults on this loan, too.
IME, creating scaffolding to allow for a known, reproducible and clean state (of both DDL and DML) are wild systematic (eg across the team and the estate) productivity and stability boosts. Not having to be "connected to the shared dev DB frees engineers of latency (every ms counts) and also of mutulple pollutants to that database (eg Sally was writing protractor/cypresss tests and now the foo table has 3m rows, george was doing data exploration and manually entered records to the DB that now causes a runtime exception fot the team, etc)

If a shared dev DB is really what everyone wants, then at least having the scaffolding mentioned above to fix the DB state when pollution happens (it will) will help heal foot shots.
In industrialized practice, what you are mentioning (a shared dev/env) is really the "QA"/pre-prod environment.
Ideologically and personally (putting on down vote helmet) if you can't run the whole stack locally you're in for a world of trouble down the road.. local first, test extensively there, then promote changes.
I agree. I wonder what NASA and SpaceX are using.
I think your comment was once completely correct, but there is now also a “cpuset” cgroup in addition to the classic cpu setting. The cpuset control gives something equivalent to sched_setaffinity but stronger since the client processes can’t unset parts of the mask or override it IIRC.
OP has already cited sufficient stats to prove his point, and you're looping on reply for different sources.

Why don't you supply your own sources? You're making a claim just the same as the OP, without providing any evidence in your favor. A good faith responder would do the legwork to provide a researched counterpoint.

To anybody that has actually been paying attention to CPU evolution over the years, the process node has clearly been the main differentiator between CPU performance. Intel had the process advantage and thus the CPU advantage, and now they don't.

Architecture matters too, but does not result anywhere near an order of magnitude difference, conventionally.

Of course a clickbait headline does not literally lie.

A clickbait headline elides, omits key information strategically, deliberately creating a far juicier story in the minds of readers than is justified by the actual post-click article.

Key information like the fact that no one ever bought and drove this car on the road.

I don’t think a headline gets immunity from being called clickbait if it successfully dupes only those people insufficiently familiar with its particular subject matter.

Clickbait gets under the noses of such people by design.

I've heard good things about frontendmasters.com.

Personally, I learned from LinkedIn Learning back when it was still Lynda, and found it very helpful.

Both are paid, but worth it.

Also, the official React docs & tutorials are also pretty good once you know some basic JS and HTML (like what the DOM is, how you manipulate the HTML, etc.)

-----------------

Note that this is probably a pretty hard time to be an entry developer... the FAANGs had hundreds of thousands of layoffs over the last few years and there aren't many job openings for juniors (or even more experienced devs). You'd be competing with people with substantial industry experience. Good luck =/
Yeah I agree with this, it's a very good point.
Of course a real law needs more narrow wording. The spirit of it should be more about not allowing companies to have different means for subscribing and unsubscribing. Then there can be additional rules that prevent them from convoluting the process more than necessary.
Since at least the 1980s, IT had the concepts of "open systems" and "interoperation", to support market competition and innovation. And we later did things like the Web and other open standards.
Then Apple comes along,

Wow. I don't know if that's selective memory, or revisionist history, but you've got a huge dose of the stuff.

No, interoperability isn't perfect now, but it's a heck of a lot better than it was in the 80's.
Show HN: Let Your Community Post on Twitter/X Securely
We made a tool that lets people post to a Twitter/X account using a simple form. No need to share passwords, just let your community get involved.

Who’s it for?

- Anyone who wants their community—whether it’s fans, employees, or members—to contribute directly to a Twitter account.
- Perfect for those who want to tap into the creativity and ideas of their community to make the account more dynamic and engaging.

Why use it?

- Your community knows what they care about—let them share it directly, making your account more relevant and active.
- You keep control without the risk of sharing passwords.
- Great for boosting engagement and creating community.

Example:
A startup hosting a hackathon could use this tool to let participants share their project updates and photos directly on the event’s Twitter account. This not only creates a live feed of exciting developments but also boosts visibility and enthusiasm around the event, driving more engagement and attracting potential future participants.

Interested? Send me an email, and we’ll get you set up.
>There's no reason to assume that your body's tolerance to starvation is the same as, or poorer than, the cancer's tolerance to starvation

It's not an assumption, it is knowledge based on a general understanding of how cancer functions.

Even without that knowledge, you should be able to observe that people dying of cancer eat less than is needed to sustain their bodies, and such behavior does not slow down the progression of cancer.
If it isn't going to a nonprofit it isn't a donation. Call it tip or "set your own price" or whatever else, but donation is not the word.
User confusion - if they block users from subscribing to those creators on iOS they will inevitably have support tickets to deal with it. Hence their 16-month project to remove non-iOS-compatible plans.
Slashdot of old used to have a simple dropdown for flagging, like "-1 Offtopic" or "flamebait" or troll, redundant, overrated, etc. Worked pretty well back in the day: https://slashdot.org/faq/metamod.shtml
Maybe. Or they could just keep doing the thing that earns them the most money, which is what they're doing now.
Individual sacrifice is a solution. If everybody ate a bullet today, we would drastically reduce greenhouse gas production. Problem solved?

Of course, declaring it as a solution is the easy bit. The hard bit is actually doing it, and this is where I see personal sacrifice falling short. I assume mass ritual suicide isn't what you had in mind, so what level of personal sacrifice is appropriate? How do you convince people? Are there rewards for adherence of penalties for not? If the government provides incentives, is it still "personal" sacrifice? I heard China and India are the biggest contributors these days, shouldn't they be the ones sacrificing instead of me? How many vegans does it take to offset one new AI datacenter?

It's like asking "why don't we just emit less?" Right, that's the problem. What are you proposing?
Got you. I thought medieval work life would be comparable to our modern lives so I've been looking in other corners.
This doesn't correlate with my lived experience. I remember almost everything except yogurt and milk coming in glass containers. My family and friends strongly preferred soda from bottles than cans, and we were lower middle class and we didn't use plastic 2 liters very often. (And several families drank raw milk - I know, the horror).

Nearly the entire condiments aisle is now filled with soybean oil where it nearly didn't exist before. And it was a really big deal when McDonald's went away from using animal fat to cook fries in. Now pretty much nothing is cooked in oil from animal fat. This is certainly a change from pretty much the entire history of human food.

Various researchers are pointing out that glyphosate covers nearly the entire surface of the Earth and is found in nearly everything, including clothing and linens. It was not nearly as widespread in the '70s and '80s.

Exposure to various radio and now microwave (5G) frequencies was practically zero compared to what we began being exposed to in the '90s and is now pretty much everywhere.

Personally, I draw the major distinctions in video game technologies with the PlayStation and another later with Xbox Live! (the latter was really most popular with the Xbox 360). Previous technologies we would fairly quickly hit a point where it just got boring so we would go outside and play, most especially pre-NES. While more of a behavior factor, it is very important on pretty much every level except diet that we engaged in physical activity, social interaction, and sunlight.

As a side note, when I've tried to research it I've found that Gen X is experiencing a higher mortality rate than previous generations in pretty much every category. This correlates with my lived experience.
I wonder what would happen if a third-party made an app for viewing Patreon content.

Would Apple accept that the third-party client cannot accept payments on Patreon’s behalf and not require the Apple tax?
I think this counts as over thinking. Unsubscribing is MILES harder in many countries. The unsubscribe link is buried in some unknown sub menu, customer support dumps you, or the like.

Trying to fatigue someone out of subscribing is a bad business model. If people want to leave, it should be dead simple to do so.
The issue I often find is that by the time I pay taxes on my own salary, their salary, their insurance and overhead, I lose more time hiring it out unless my wages are at least 3-4x theirs.

The real hack to DIY is you eliminate taxes and insurance, other than sales tax. It's one of the few ways to actually keep almost all the value you generate.
Yeah, I just learned Mercedes puts several settings on a "Service" instrument cluster mode in my 2024 vehicle. I wonder if it's common with german car brands, or have you seen it also in Japanese, Korean, or American brands? Overall the Mercedes UI stuff does a fine job starting CarPlay and showing a backup camera, but the settings menus are confusingly hard to navigate.
The video you've linked is 100% quackery.
Hm, the book is about Taylorism from 1945 on it seems, but it’s Stephen Waring, Taylorism Transformed: Scientific Management Theory since 1945. Looks like it was published by UNC Press 1991.

I do remember conversations with him to the effect that Taylorism ab initio was as much ideological in aim as seeking efficiency, but (1) that’s obviously his view (though a considered one after studying the sources) and (2) I don’t have any citations I could give you to support that beyond vaguely recalled conversations after class.
iDOS 3 is approved on the App Store
I'm just saying, it's a strawman argument to claim that Apple is doing this to "protect users". That's what they want you to think, but they're actually doing this to make a massive amount of revenue at the cost of literally everyone in the market, users and creators alike.

Edit: Econ 101 - the more inelastic the demand, the more the tax burden falls on consumers. One would assume that demand for Patreon is relatively elastic, at least when compared to things like food, housing, transportation, etc. Thus most of this tax burden will actually fall on the producers (i.e. Patreon and the creators), which explains why they're not willing to just take the 30% cut and will instead charge more for Apple users.
I would rather look at mass products where each byte and megahertz adds to the manufacturing costs. The systems NASA or SpaceX are developing are essentially one-of, where manufacturing costs are by far not the major concern.
I don't know enough to endorse a specific one but there are probably hundreds of services doing text-to-SQL using LLMs. "Chat with your database" is one of the most popular products in the space.
Please, don't take this as a personal judgment! I don't know you, I'm just judging what's written here.

> kids activities have to go on a back burner ... I see no reason to place childrens non-needs above critical family infrastructure

This comes across as pretty callous toward your children's development! Social interactions with family are needs for children, too.

It sounds like you chose to go off and build a house unnecessarily and ignored the labor of raising your children to do it, which a lot of people would find pretty irresponsible. So as a rebuttal to someone else saying they can't make the time, because they have work and kids, I think it functions better as an argument against doing what you did. If buying an already-built home wasn't a realistic option for you, that would be very important context here.
Yes, agreed. I think in this industry we ought to sometimes reflect on how hard we expect everyone to work, and how hard we push people who may not always be in situations where they should be pushing.

I'm generally a believer that hard work is good and that startups are worth investing considerable time and energy into, and I love my career. But working in this industry has certainly been hard on my health, despite ALL my other choices being very "healthy." Leaders have pushed me to ignore my body in order to produce results many times, over prolonged periods of time.

If you don't mind, I won't get into the specific type of cancer here, I'm particularly protective of my ability to remain psychologically positive about it and I don't want to encounter HN-style analysis of my specific type.
Very cool!

I've wanted to build something similar to this for music. Some virtual environment where you can organize your albums on shelves and play them on a turntable.

You could even extend this so you have to walk to a store to buy new albums etc.
The app's useful for audio posts. But mostly it's just an extra chance for them to make money. Push notifications, the home screen icon, etc. Most people I know, their inbox is barely functional due to the marketing emails, and they're reliant on features like Gmail's "Important" which only highlights real people, not Patreon content.

You're not the average user, and if the average user gets a billing email and hasn't bothered to read their content email, visit the site or open the app, they are more likely to end their subscription.
