Last I checked Nintendo, even operating as Nintendo Australia, are still refusing to provide refunds.

In April 2019 I contact Nintendo, as Trials Rising had just come out and I purchased it digitally. Upon first playing the game I discovered that it ran very poorly, was dropping frames frequently and causing input problems; particularly when in hand-held mode whilst playing through the tutorials and first level.

They sent me on a wild goose chase to "Nintendo Contact Center Europe" and I of course never got a refund.

After realising I was getting nowhere I caved and attempted to play some more. Fortunately, I discovered most of the game is at least playable. Not sure why the first level in particular performed so poorly. If I go back and play it now, it's still horrid performance. Overall, the game doesn't operate as I'd expect, is at least partially faulty, and probably shouldn't be for sale in its current state. I would have preferred to refund and instead buy on PC.

EDIT: I did actually report Nintendo's no refunds policy to the ACCC. However, they're very busy due to all the shotty companies, so I'm a bit doubtful it was ever looked into.

> If Gamestop sells a faulty or unfinished game by EA (like Anthem), should Gamestop be obligated to refund you [...] ?

Yes (in Australia). The responsibility for not selling faulty shit is ultimately with the retailer. Doesn't matter if it's a TV, a car, a kid's toy, or some software.
Probably not. They have a tutorial on how to host static data with S3, so it appears to be an intended use of the service: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/WebsiteHosti...

I mostly agree with you but we definitely reduced reliance on AWS specific functionality after starting to offer on-premise software installations. Most of them don’t gain you THAT much and then the software really isn’t very portable.
> especially on a N64 cartridge to save space?

The space obviously wasn't needed during development (this is leaked source, I don't know if it made it to the gold version) so there's two likely possibilities:

a) They knew about it but didn't have the dev/tester time to vet the change. This is coming from an era when most game testing was done manually and the N64 toolchain had some big issues around launch. Higher priority fixes might have just pushed a cleanup task like this off the list.

b) They just didn't know. This is also from an era where DCVS weren't particularly common in the games industry and CVS was still black magic in some circles so auditing changes or doing code reviews were very rare.

> You don't get a market return from day trading. The only way you can make money off of day trading is by providing liquidity and the amount of liquidity needed in a market is limited by volume.

This isn't true in the slightest. Market makes might favor liquidity providing strategies but the vast majority of day traders do not. Retail day traders are trading lower volumes and do not move markets. They are much more advantaged in this respect (although they typically lack the informational edge of pros).

> It's easy for commercial investors to push out retail traders because they can provide more liquidity.

This just also isn't true at all. Everything has a price, including liquidity and as a perfectly fungible good, it doesn't matter who the seller is. Exchanges operate on price-time priority so if you provide liquidity at a better price, or before someone else, then it doesn't matter how big you are or how much you provide (within the context of vanilla ETPs relevant to day trading).

Unrelated to your overall point, that isn't necessarily fallacious reasoning. If most checkout processes in a niche are excessively long (free background check services come to mind) then the customer is choosing to spend extra money now in order to avoid spending extra time with an alternative.

It can be, imagine I saw a fire alarm and pressed the button because I thought a fire started, it didn't and I learnt that the fire alarm only looked like it was working, knowing that this would not be fixed for 24 hrs I choose to smash the alarm so it's visibly broken. Is that vandalism?
Perhaps Google should serve its home page, instead of returning a SERP for "google", if the search URL indicates a search from a browser address bar. If a user really wants to google for "Google", they can then search on the google.com home page.
> I'm not a fan of lotteries either but when someone plays a lottery, they have fair odds of winning.

You do realize that lotteries have negative expected value right? That means that the net losses of losers exceed the net gains of winners...it's the epitome of unfair.

> With trading, most of the time, they will lose and someone with millions in the bank will win.

This just sounds like someone with an anti Wall Street chip on their shoulder. In most industries, the "winners" have millions in the bank...that's how they got the millions.
I'd attribute that to the fact that they actually have support. My MSDN subscription once had a problem activating, but it was quick and painless to solve by calling them. That alone makes them feel a lot more humane than Google, where you have to be lucky to ever reach a person even with critical problems like data loss inside GSuite.

The comment was rhetorical. We all know why they are doing it and why they probably shouldn't. I think OP's point was the last bit of the comment:

I did not really forced myself leaving software engineering.

I took the chance to be CTO at a startup. However, one of the CEOs was quite a critical person who yelled at female workers, thus I decided to quit. Fortunately, I always kept a strong relationship to my former employer who wanted me to be their co-CEO.

Nowadays I do not really find time to write software. However, I still give directions and choose technology to use.

I’m still thinking, that currently I’m not where I want to be. So I find this discussion quite interesting.
I am sorry my message was not clear enough. I did not say that J.K.Rowling is broke or that being cancelled is as same as being sent to Siberia/executed in 1930s USSR.

All I said is that similarly to the 1930s USSR rules of what is "hate"/"counter-revolution" are changing so quickly and abruptly that even people who had been dedicated to the cause are routinely found guilty. E.g. just a couple months ago Rowling was an inspiration for women, an advocate for LGBT, feminism and other causes. Now she is being told that her words are hurtful. It's as same as some NKVD officer, who busted the counter-revolutionaries for criticizing the great ally of the USSR, Germany, get busted himself for being a German spy. And no, I don't mean that Rowling was busting somebody for criticizing Germany or is a German spy.

Here's my argument for using https://sci-hub.tw/

* It's a form of reparations i.e if you belong to one of the folks who were victimized by colonialists, what more other way to pay back by using such a tool. After all the heavily guarded science corporations + universities were built with such privilege & stolen wealth

* Another one is we pay lots of taxes for this research but it keeps gated by corporations that pay zero taxes

* Last reason fuck it! Do it Louis Pasteur style;- never followed so-called medical ethics, relied on secrecy and dirty tricks to invent tech that still impacts modern day society to date ANTI BIOTICS

The current environment is already a chosen position on a slope. Gymnastics and figure skating have illegal moves. All sports ban some drugs due to their adverse health consequences.

Yes.

For python-level functions initially all arguments could be passed either positionally or by keyword, unless they slotted into the special `∗args` (positional-only) or `∗∗kwargs` (keyword-only) parameters (note: the star-prefixes is the important part here the names can be anything).

Now I'm saying this was for python-level functions because (AFAIK) at the C level it was always possible to rather easily define positional-only or keyword-only arguments.

Anyway one of the improvements of Python 3 was to allow parameters other than `∗∗kwargs` after `∗args`, with the effect of making them individually named but keyword-only (PEP 3102). A logical extension of the same was to allow keyword-only arguments without any positional, that's what the `*` pseudo-argument defines:

> The reasoning behind this change is as follows. Imagine for a moment a function which takes several positional arguments, as well as a keyword argument.

> Now, suppose you wanted to have 'key' be a keyword-only argument. Under the above syntax, you could accomplish this by adding a varargs (nb: `∗ignore`) argument immediately before the keyword argument.

> Unfortunately, the 'ignore' argument will also suck up any erroneous positional arguments that may have been supplied by the caller. Given that we'd prefer any unwanted arguments to raise an error, we could do this (nb: add an explicit assertion that `ignore` is empty)

> As a convenient shortcut, we can simply omit the 'ignore' name, meaning 'don't allow any positional arguments beyond this point'.
Very poor article.

I have worked remote for about 8 years now. I used to have to spend 3+ hours in commute each day.

To put it bluntly, those that complain the loudest are those who's career rested on politicking and stealth deferrel of their actual productive work to others.

You aren't 'outsourced' offshore or otherwise because of WFH, you are because your type of job allowed for it. The current crisis might just have woken up the company to it sooner.

BTW, people that have only just now started WFH, don't confuse your current experience with WFH under normal circumstances. That commute time save normally allowed you to have an actual life outside work.

Finally, do not underestimate the huge lobbying going on currently to get us all 'back to the office' from what is called the 'lunch economy' sector. God forbid you would get used to not spending huge amounts on overpriced coffee and sandwiches or junkfood each day.

It's a very intuitive explanation, yet the costs to remove ads from Hulu or YouTube are quite reasonable. It's possible search is a different beast I suppose. I know a lot of the search ads I click on are actually defensively purchased. The number one organic result bought the top ad slot just to defend their position. That feels far more like rent seeking than the ads on the video platforms.

I run openSUSE with KDE on all my machines, and it's responsive and snappy even on the Thinkpad X220i (Sandy Bridge Core i3, upgraded to 8GB RAM + SSD). Firefox is what generally eats resources, but below 15 tabs it's fine.

Even on my Raspberry Pi 3, KDE is perfectly fine. It's not fast fast, but still feels responsive and usable.

KDE was kind of slow in the KDE4 days. Not so anymore.

This sounds like me. I am still at a startup since early on and now I mostly focus on one thing. I now get extra time to devote to my passions and doing things "my way".

There should really be a group chat for first/early folks. I feel we take on significant risks that don't come with the correctly adjusted rewards.
Robinhood don't charge direct commission, but they do charge commission. It's a bit like traveling and seeing the "no fee" cash exchanges...they don't charge outright fees, they just make their money in the spread.

Every market has what's called a bid/offer spread. That's the difference between the price the next buyer will pay, and what the next seller will accept (if the prices were the same, it would result in a trade, and thus back to having different prices). Market makers earn this spread by always being willing to buy low and sell slightly higher. Robinhood traders are largely unsophisticated and place market orders that cross this spread and thus incur the implicit cost. Market making has become to automated that these small spreads (pennies in many cases) are actually extremely lucrative.

So, Robinhood goes out to a market maker and says "you can execute all my trades for me, but you'll have to pay me for the privilege because I know you'll make a lot of money off my trades". This is called payment for order flow, and Robinhood makes a lot of money this way.

Right? From the comments in the article,

>It should be much faster than a Raspberry pi 3 that do not have all those problems.

I agree. User doesn't know what he's doing yet.

One tip I would offer him is avoid Firefox. Firefox is built with Rust[1], which doesn't support ARM as a Tier 1 platform. He would be MUCH better off using Chromium, which supports numerous ARM Chromebooks running this exact CPU just fine.

> But there’s no expanding happening here?

There's a collection of 0 arguments. the "∗" was introduced specifically as a shortcut for:

def foo(a, *ignore, b):
if ignore:
raise TypeError

forgoing the name simply signals to the language that it should collect nothing.

It's a logical extension of the assumption that anything which follows `∗arg` is a keyword-only parameter.

Did you try raising the volume directly on the headphones?
If it's a WH-XM1000, you can do that by sliding the finger up on the right earphone.

For some reason mine's volume works as expected on an iphone (phone and headphone control the same volume) but on a pc (windows / mac / linux) the controls work separately...
> This runs counter to the Zen: "Readability counts", "Explicit is better than implicit"

Huh? It's both making parameters more explicit and functions using it more readable and self-documenting.

In fact, the old way, before bare / and * in args list, where functions essentially had mandatory optional-keyword arguments made every function create an API in violation of “There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.”
Knowing Nintendo, they probably don't have a way to revoke the licenses. They're not very good at the online thing, or the digital store thing. Their core competency is in hardware and games, and the rest of the org just sort of gets dragged along for the ride.

If it's as I hypothesize and they can't revoke software licenses, I think their stance is reasonable from the perspective that this could be used to acquire all the games for free. But I think they should be compelled to fix this going forward.
Maybe, but if I had the option of recording something with noise, then filtering it out, and recording it without or with less noise to begin with, I'd always go for the latter. Never shun improving the initial data, regardless of what neat things you can do after that.
This is part of AWS's business strategy. Overcharge to an absurd extent (90% margins) and then if a surprise bill happens you can just refund it for 10% of the cost. This cost is a rounding error if it allows you to maintain your margins. It's worth it even if only a single person is willing to pay the regular rate.
