If this was indeed a fact advertised on the marketing material or worse on the packaging/product page, then he can have a refund or at least a partial one, depending on the country. If it was talked about what could happen, or not mentionned in any official marketing material but in PR pieces, then nope.

See eg the PS3 claiming it could install a normal linux.

I don't know how the exact laws work in other countries, but in France it's also two different things that work differently, one is you sold me a product that isn't working, the other is your marketing lied. Both are illegal but on different terms. Thus if it's not on the box or product page, then it's a marketing material issue.

Thanks for the feedback, I think it would be better if I let the user choose since I personally want to look at both lists sometimes (or I'm on the PC). Besides, it's very easy to just bookmark the platform you want and go there, but I will consider it.

Any reason why the Genre filter field is a text input rather than a dropdown? I went to look at the Genres available to see which ones I might like but the only way I can see to do this is by scrolling through the pages to look at the available options.
Sure, but sitting on an airport floor (+ being able to go the bathroom, get water, wifi, etc) is better than half-standing in a cramped dry aircraft that you've spent the last X hours in.

Renewable energy is not an infinite resource. It will take eons for us to exhaust the sun's energy with solar panels. But long before that time we will have exhausted our supply of ground minerals that make these panels. You can also only have so many hydra dam installations.

So even if they where using 100% renewable energy. They are 'stealing' that clean energy away from others. So grey energy will still be used to fulfill that demand.
Well sure, I don't think anyone was suggesting that no waiting area is provided to meet back up til you hit the sidewalk. I thought it'd be clearly implied that there would be a spot to reunite after exiting the jetway

Nice.
Yes, Apple games can belong in multiple genres and it was easier to do it this way, but I'm probably going to make it a dropdown since it's more usable.

I agree with you, but it's amazing how people can still not think about things.

I fondly remember the old (apocryphal) story about how you can pop frogs in a pot of water, and if you increase the heat slowly enough, they'll stay in it until they boil to death. "Silly frogs" we all thought. Yet, here we are.
> Nothing states that consent has to be more difficult than non-consenting.

Nobody is arguing that consent should be more difficult.

The complaint is that non-consent is often much more difficult than consent, sometimes ridiculously so.

In my personal experience I have been unable to find the no-consent option at all on some sites. Just links that go around in circles, sometimes to hundreds of ambiguous and mixed-polarity yes/no-or-was-it-no/yes-style options (one for each of hundreds of "partner sites" I've never heard of), with the only clear option being consent-to-all.

If I eventually click on "ok" that is not freely given consent, it's coerced due to me being unable to find or understand how to decline it.

It is technically easy to provide a "decline-to-all" option whenever they have provided a "consent-to-all" option.

Therefore, clearly companies which provide an easy consent-to-all but make decline-to-all virtually impossible to select, or actually impossible, are doing so deliberately, intending to frustrate the consumer from exercising their rights.

The law says that a person should be able to decline if they choose, that it should be easy enough to do, and easy to understand which option they are choosing. Such sites are not compliant with that principle, and it looks like deliberate non-compliance to me.

> The request has to be distinguishable, not the consent.

Well, "the request" is what we've been talking about. It means the UI. Things like "Ok" and "decline" buttons, how the options are presented, how they are explained clearly and unambiguously, the ease and accessibility of selecting the freely chosen option, that sort of thing.
When I did a walking tour there the guide said the very narrow and deep form factor of the houses was to do with the way property was taxed at the time. I imagine they're all protected now what with the look of the city being so important for it's tourism industry.
The Apple tax is what exactly, in this case?
I think that section makes good points about hierarchies between more and less senior people, and between people with a CS degree and people without, but yea I think it is unnecessary to single out white men and imply that they are more likely to try and hog the keyboard or always be in teaching mode.
(Speaking from experience) Those American house sizes look good on paper until you have to do maintenance/cleaning etc.

Unless you have a specific need for more space (maybe a workshop, etc) I would avoid the bigger sized houses.

Noise may be a factor in certain locales with decent human-centered regulation against it, but:

A) rich people have a ton of power, they will get it legalized if they really want to use them

B) There are many sparsely populated areas where rich people would still be able to make this work...think rural islands of Japan or New Zealand, very mountainous areas, the outskirts of a major metropolitan area...I think these will find use in certain markets.

The only thing I would risk is copy/pasting the binary/executable that is running to somewhere else so I could try and decompile it. Anything beyond that is a nope.
That's a good question.

I guess I'd say a Turing machine is my definition of a machine.

And I suppose the implication is that if we are machines, operating on a stream of input, does that make us deterministic?

EDIT: What I'm ultimately interested in is if we, as humans, are operating in a realm that logic cannot operate in. If that makes any sense? I'll probably have to define realm!
Parent was making a tangential comment about their Chromebook, not related to chrome apps.
"The world as first seen by the child becomes his lifelong standard of excellence, mindless of the fact that he is admiring the ruins of his parents." [...]

"Generation to Generation, the natural world decays, the ratchet of perception tightens. Gradually, imperceptibly, big sharks give way to small sharks, small sharks to baitfish, baitfish to jellyfish to slime (algae and cyanobacteria). On land, the big cats and wolves becomes feral cats and coyotes. The wild standard sinks ever lower and becomes ever heavier to raise. Few notice, few care. Eventually nobody remembers that wolves not long ago freely roamed the Adirondacks, and hence there is mad howling over the suggestion of returning them to their homeland. Southern Californians panic on learning that a cougar track has been discovered on the fringes of their neighborhood- mindless that cougars roamed these hills and canyons long before gated communities drew their lines in the chaparral. 'Shifting baselines' help explain why the Pennsylvania deer hunter sees everything right and nothing wrong in a forest that's swarming with deer yet as barren of biodiversity as a city park."

~ William Stolzenburg, Where the Wild Things Were
From your description, it sounds like they decided to use a "number" typed field for the post codes. This is of course incorrect, post codes are really just strings. While the bug manifests itself on firefox, it is hard to blame it for implementing the field according to spec [1]. Chrome decided to ignore the spec and leave the field more free-form, which in turn enables developers to use it incorrectly without detecting the compatibility bug.

> User agents must not allow the user to set the value to a non-empty string that is not a valid floating-point number. If the user agent provides a user interface for selecting a number, then the value must be set to the best representation of the number representing the user’s selection as a floating-point number.
Unless your point is to send a message. But yes, still even worse.
All these professions require a mix of procedural and declarative skill. Pilots and surgeons aren't professional athletes, they rely on enormous amounts of declarative knowledge.

The easiest time to catch a mistake is when it's made, which is as true of surgery or flight as of software development.

That's why I rely on type systems, tests and whenever I can, someone next to me asking "why?".
A train has less seats per door than a plane. Way less seats. It can also start moving before people have fully finished boarding (e.g. storing their luggage in overhead compartment).
It is wrong to say that it doesn't contain any knowledge even if it is not the primary intent.

Incomplete and often deliberately misleading but there are actual gains to it. If you were in Cuba and saw an ad for the zero to sixty time of a mini-van which emphasised cargo space that was better than a hotrod.

Pretty much any interaction with reality even if pure lies can contain gleamable knowledge from analysis even if it is "they expect us to believe this crap".

You bet. Also because civil war in Syria has nothing to do with climate change and all to do with politics. But people are too busy worrying about the future to care about the present.

I wish that thinkers in this area would find some middle ground between NIMBYism and "screw your property values".

Before we criticize existing homeowners for rejecting reasonable compromises, I think that we need to actually offer them reasonable compromises.

It seems to me that there's a huge difference between construction that an architect designed to be aesthetically pleasing, interesting, and compatible with the existing environment and just building some soulless concrete or glass & steel structure.

Great idea. I really enjoyed Angry Birds when it first came out and when my children asked about to install it on their devices I said this was fine. I couldn't find the original Angry Birds so installed Angry Birds 2. What an awful convoluted mess it was. Instead of a simple, fun physics-based game it's full of lives, spells, bad level design and in-app purchases.
I recently changed my relation with video games. I used to play a lot of FIFA (or Football Manager), which are games who are just here to entertain yourself, but there is no backstory at all. Now I see video games as reading a book, or watching a great movie: focus on the story, the art design, the sound design, and the experience in general.

I still play a bit of FIFA, but I reserve it to my social time (even though I find that FIFA create a lot of tensions, while Mario Kart is funnier to play, and the level to be competent is lower).

The problem with most of IAP games are that they are in the same category than FIFA or FM. There is little backstory. While paying upfront for a game (on mobile, a dozen of great games exists, and you can play some of them during short period of time like Limbo...) create a sense of connection with the game, because you invest money in it, and you are ready to really invest time in it. On the opposite, IAP are games where the goal is to make you play as much as possible, to pay as much as possible.
Ah apologies for not realising this was /s, I see people who genuinely advocate this sort of stuff on HN so it went way over my head!
Thanks for making this, really. Phone games seem to be a sort of gateway drug for video games and it's a shame that most of them are so laden with microtransactions and attention-hacks. Anything that can steer people away from heroin-adjacent mobile games toward games with substance is a great product in my book. Nice job.
This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot ever since reading Permutation City, which touches on that at one point. I’d highly recommend it if you haven’t read it.

You’ve put the idea more succinctly than I could have, so thanks for that.
It's the exact same reason people post misleading pictures on their dating profiles. Because it works some of the time, due to the sunk cost fallacy (people have already invested in something so they stick with it even after the deception is revealed).

I had a coworker with whom I did some pair programming and it was painful. He was very talkative, to the point of forcing me to interrupt him every time to come back to what we were doing. Also most of the time he made really hard to follow the code because he took every opportunity to show off his keyboard-shortcut-skills, jumping from file to file, jumping between lines of code, commenting and uncommenting code... all that very fast.
This is what a price on carbon and carbon taxes are intended to address.

As the price of use or production of carbon rises, it will spur investment and competition in alternative forms of energy.

Further, a tax credit for removing carbon from the atmosphere will help spur removal technologies and we can begin to make a dent in everything that's already in the atmosphere.
I'm sticking with OpenGL (ES) 3 that brought VAO for life.

The returns will diminish to the point that porting or developing on new APIs does not pay for itself.

I know both Jonathan Blow and Godot are clear signs that I'm wrong, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Until then I have my engine running on Win/x86 and the Pi 4 at good performance with minimal effort.

True Democrat Paulding, Mississippi – “Change of Climate” (1846)
Indeed. I learned this the hard way when I made some claim to a political science roommate about the local acceleration due to gravity near one of the outer planets and was corrected and embarrassed. It's easy to forget that gravitation is the result of many tiny things all pulling on each other, not just a few big and small things.

I looked through the paper and didn't see anything about the radius of the planet candidate. I suppose it's quite difficult to determine it from so far away. Is a value known? If so, that would obviously give a good idea about the local g.
In addition, it has a completely different lineage than an 'updated' OpenGL. It started off as AMD's Mantle API.
The curated list by android team used to be my goto to find some games, but it deteriorated into useless list.

All other top playstore list are garbage too. Finding anything good that isn't crippled by predatory practices is downright impossible. I don't mind paying for mobile games but this isn't as profitable as hook-line-sinker micro transaction model.

I will give this list a go back home.
I remember reading some time ago an old story about folks recovering accidentally deleted system files from the currently running system.

Perhaps it should be, but every 53 bit integer is exactly representable in double, because there's an implicit leading significand bit in the representation.

It's also worth noting that every finite double with magnitude larger than 2^52 has a precise integer value; it's just that once you get beyond 2^53, not every integer is representable.
There are different kinds of IAP, some are free demos and you unlock the full game with an IAP, some let you buy extra content in the form of DLC, some remove ads, and some just want to get thousands of dollars out of you.
