Only until the precedent is set that you need to tip $$$$ or else you're a cheapskate.

I used to think that. Then I lived in Japan where not only do they not tip, they refuse tips. Haven't seen any issues with the service. So no, tips do not promote a better customer…

It's somewhat infuriating. You use to tip waiters/waitresses. They took your order and brought it to you. Now they ask for tips when they do none of that. Every non-chain fast food…

I watch a lot of old movies (30s-40s-50s). A ton of them have a 40s-50s man marrying a 20s woman. No idea if that was societal norm, mens fantasy, or whatever. I have to kind of be…

I don't think it will ever happen except for toy projects. If you're manipulating some small list of 10-20 objects and those object have some kind of useful visual representation t…

For some reason that reminds me of this totally unrelated animation, "To Be" about teleportation from the 80s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocgFkHElzgQ

Apparently you missed the point. local needs to be the default. Not some magic incantation In node cd projectFoo # do stuff, node uses packages local to projectFoo cd ../projectBar…

For me, before I even get to packaging, I hit the install/environment issue with python. Python, by default, wants to be installed at a system level and wants libraries/packages to…

No one can touch you but they can hurt you in the same way people hurt others online all the time. Verbal abuse, name calling, derogatory remarks, unwanted solicitation, etc...

This is extremely cool! I haven't much of a clue on motion capture. But, the capture I want to do requires feet, hands, face, shoulders, arms, knees, fingers, AND the ability to do…

> They never allowed porn WAT? I pay for porn on patreon and have for years. Maybe it's just live video porn that's banned? I have no idea. AFAIK the artists I'm subscribed to are …

What are the odds of this kind of thing being open source so I can use it at home. So far, most of the "good" text-to-speech systems are all commercial services https://aws.amazon.…

That can go both ways? I agree that I like when functions are not special so instance.add(10) Is just sugar for add(instance, 10) and you pass anything that fits as the first argum…

It is the command pattern with the added stipulation that there must be some way to represent every command as a simple command line like expression. MelScript commands look a lot …

I'd like to see package delivery people get good working conditions That said, I'd also like to see law enforcement enforce double parking violations of delivery trucks, even if th…

> Daniel Pink famously surmised2 that “carrots and sticks” are poor motivators for most people. Worse, they’re demonstrably counter-productive in common real-world scenarios. Which…

Other things about Japanese elevators 99% the "close door" button works immediately. Vs say USA where 80% are not even connected and where some are connected but the door doesn't r…

I'll take the hits. It's lefty paradise. The city is 85% democrat and has the highest per capita tax revenue of any city in the USA. In other words they have the most money to solv…

It was low before the recession but sure the recession should make it even lower.

I tend to agree with your POV but as a counterpoint, in Japan it's against the law to film people in public without their permission. A shot of a crowd is unlikely to get you in tr…

what part of woodstock had the average attendee trying to get as many worldwide followers as possible?

Agree to disagree. Saying git exists therefore it should be used it like saying is all you have is a hammer everything is a nail. You wouldn't use a hammer for a screw and you shou…

I'd argue you're using the wrong tool for the job. Git isn't designed for art assets in games, it's design for text based source code. Everything else is an afterthought. Games, es…

This is one of the things I used to like about Maya. It appeared to be a command driven editor and everything you did in the UI translated to a command line command. You could set …

I'm curious how they went from character sheet to fully rigged model. It sounds like they hand created the model, and hand rigged it, and the entire process took 18 hours (entire m…
