Apple pisses off many HN users who then swear to switch to Android, Google pisses off many HN users who then swear to switch to an iPhone – so for both companies, in effect, nothing changes. Aside from that, the masses don't care or kn

I would call it "free developer experience" (using ADB), not "free sideloading". If you want to send your app to a friend to download and install it directly on their phone (without using a computer with ADB), you need t

> You can read a book without copying it. Let's assume it's a really short book – say a poem – and by reading it, I accidentally memorized it. Have I now violated copyright? I think something does not add up with this logic.

This is helpful for estimating how much higher display resolutions are still perceivable and when we enter the territory of "marketing bullshit". For example: - 40 cm view distance (e.g. smartphone): 300 ppi is roughly the maximum

But with tests you can only prevent those future bugs you managed to think of. Anything you didn't anticipate will not be covered by tests. TDD is useful to build some initial "guard rails" when writing new code and it's

No. TDD combined with vibe-coding can create code that has unwanted side-effects, because your tests only check the result. It can also have various security vulnerabilities, which you don't test for, because how would you know what to

Ah you think UTC is your ally? You merely adopted UTC. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see DST until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

It's pretty easy if you don't care about animal welfare and environmental issues. As soon as you care, prices go up steeply.

I'm confused, because the version you can install for free is literally that: you get the 10 tutorial challenges and 1 subsequent challenge for free, then you have to pay to buy / unlock the full game. How is that different from t

Excel has that too. But you can't just double-click a CSV file to open it.

by fainpul 1y ago
Not sure if this still is the case, but Excel used to fail to open CSV files correctly if the locale used another list separator than ',' – for example ';'.

So there's our misunderstanding. I skipped the tutorial, because I already saw your demo video. Then I clicked on the US on the map and played the first challenge called "Tutorial: Cipher salad". After that I always got the &

I installed and played the game on my mac this morning. I tried several ways to get to another challenge I could play, but was unable. The link I used is the one from your site.

Also the game costs 20 bucks but it's offered as "Free" with "in app purchases". But you can only play one challenge until you need to buy the game. That's just false advertising. Just be upfront about it and s

I assume this is "crowd sourced" on Apple Maps and Google Maps, simply by gathering data from people who are currently in traffic. There's no reason this couldn't be done with free software, if people opt in. Of course i

Boring answer: no, because that would require modifications to the movement and would make the watch much too expensive. The whole idea of Swatch is based on simplicity, reduction of parts count and automated manufacturability.

How about using a physical numpad or calculator? It's pretty easy to type numbers and the basic operations blindly and at high speed.

Some people seem to be under the impression that they (the employees) and their employers are a team, working towards the same goal (a better life with more spare time for everyone). I just wrote this comment in another thread, but it fits
