If you want a film version that is more faithful to the original book, I suggest you watch the 2019 Garrone movie [0]. There's Benigni in It, but this time he plays Geppetto and he's not as insufferable as he can be. And the rest of the cast is very good too (many beloved comedians including the late Gigi Proietti).

I have no idea if this stayed only in Italy or if it has been translated to other languages.

I'm curious: why is hacker news non-GDPR-compliant?

You can't delete your account by self-service, you have to email dang, which is probably non-compliance because it adds friction. It's a grey area, it'd have to be tested in court. I highly doubt anyone will bring a case though. That's like calling the police on your own drug dealer. (IANAL)

> which is probably non-compliance because it adds friction.

You're gonna have to point to part of the regulation where thats not allowed. there is a mechanism for deletion. so long as its done within 30 days its still within spec


I don't know it inside out but I'm following the basic standard "it should be as easy to withdraw consent as give it"

The overall point being that if you want to use a product/service, you'll look past minor violations of local regulations on account deletion or charger bundling.


Giving consent required you to receive an email to verify your account. Revoking consent requires you to send an email. It’s symmetric, like poetry.

You're admitting to not actually knowing the law, yet accusing someone of being in violation of it...

reddit in a nutsh... oh wait...

GDPR has nothing to do with friction I beleve.

Our lawyer told me that GDPR also applies to paper records, so there is some real-world friction right there.

The important part that there is a right - in whatever good/broken process it is enveloped is irrelevant.

Moreover does HN host PII data? Not if you don't give it to them.


Some of GDPR's language around consent for data processing (which, I will note, you only need if you don't have a legitimate and expected purpose for storing and processing it!) has implications for friction: many 'cookie popups' are not compliant because they make not giving consent harder than giving consent.

But deletion requests are not so strong: if you make people really jump through hoops then you might get in some trouble, but the expencted standard is basically at 'sending an email and getting a result within 30 days'.


Depending on the data "sending an email and getting a result within 30 days" may not be basis for approving deletion request. You have no way to identify whether the data is associated with the person (if the data is not associated with the email).

So additional validation would surely be subject to friction.


I don’t see how that has anything to do with GDPR. An email is a perfectly fine way to initiate the process. It’s not a gray area

You should probably read it as "Amazon can shut down your kindle but not your bookshelf"

Right. It makes sense to me now.

I, for one, do like it. I usually prefer lighter themes, but this one would be more than ok for me.

Cool ! It's fully open source. Quite a complex TS style https://codeberg.org/cartes/web/src/branch/master/app/styles...

And its Tilemaker profile to generate the tiles : https://codeberg.org/cartes/serveur/src/branch/master/tilema...


Looks like it's back now.


This really sucks.

I can see why they may not want to support such a niche feature but on the other hand I can't help feeling the hostility of this move.


I think it is because it is used by unofficial (i.e. privacy providing and ad skipping) apps.


Do yourself a favor, if you haven't yet: go in the instructions for the games you like and find out the original game's name (for example' "Light Up" is actually called Akari), go online and find hand-crafted puzzles for that game. I love that Simon Tatham's Puzzles exists, but nothing beats hand-crafted puzzles made by good designers. There's a sense of purpose in the order you discover the solution and some "eureka!" moments that randomly generated puzzles will never give you!


Joking aside, is throwing 2d10 and using one for tens and one for units different from throwing 1d100?


Throwing 2d10 of different colors is equivalent of trowing 1d100. It's nice they have different colors to avoid discussions, but you can throw them in two different bins or one at a time or something. Remember to sum them as (x-1) * 10 + (y-1) + 1, that is a clear indication of why zero-based indexing is better.

(Does someone sell "decade" dice, which faces say: 10, 20, 300, ..., 90 and 100?)


> (Does someone sell "decade" dice, which faces say: 10, 20, 300, ..., 90 and 100?)

Yes, they do. I used to use them for this exact purpose.



Cool, they also have dice with up to 5 zeros, to build your own 1d-million. I have sizable dice collection but I have never seen a 1d1000000 in person, I need to get one...


almost all d10's are zero-based, 0-9. And the "decade" die is 00-90. So it's just a simple matter of adding the rolls, no complicated math. And 0=100.


Yes, decade dice is fairly standard these days.

Usually you buy 1 D10 and 1 decade dice, and role both of them and add them. Most purchaseable dice sets come this way.

This is just the first result with a picture, but they are really common, all my dice sets have one: https://www.dicegamedepot.com/10-sided-tens-opaque-dice-red/


> (x-1) * 10 + (y-1) + 1

Is that not equivalent to:

> (x-1) * 10 + y

or:

> x * 10 + y - 10


I agree, but I'm just now porting a program from fortran to python. They read and write files that use their own convention about indexing and values [1]

And some changes may have to been backported, and it has a lot of tricks with index of arrays of different dimensions, so I'm wrapping the formulas with +1 and -1 and hopping the best.

IIRC the python compiler does not optimize them (perhaps with numba?), but later steps in other programs are slow, so N <= 20 and whatever I do is bounded by 20^4.

[1] If the file says "1 2 7.0 \r 1 2 8.0 \r" should I keep the sum (15.0), the first (I never seen that) or the last? (Raising an error, nah.)


I would say yes, because the physics of rolling two objects is slightly different than one object. I don't have any idea, though, if that would affect the distribution of numbers rolled. It's not an experiment that can be done through simulation.


> the only thing I regularly mix up is the syntax for links. I frequently reverse the [] and ()

I remember it as passing parameters to a function that requires an URL as an argument. Maybe it's not the most straightforward way, but it works for me


Unless you mean retrocompatibility, no it's not that obvious to me.


yes. obviously, if your whole entire being and everything known about your os is that the main drive where the os is installed is c:\, then suddenly changing that to a:\ because floppy drives fell out of fashion would being nothing short of absolute chaos. you'd be amazed at the number of times c:\ is hard coded into things. It would be like swapping the brake and accelerator pedals. It would be like switching the sky to green and grass to blue. It would be total anarchy. Okay, maybe it wouldn't be that bad, but it wouldn't be good. At least for the dolt that called their system drive a:\


I think it's clearly back compatability.
