I think poster wants to be able to let your tool know that the amount has been paid, which would reset the outstanding balance or something.
Ah. Pull requests welcome!

If you name your Hackathon "Stupid Shit No One Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon", I think it's perfectly acceptable to allow slightly NSFW content. And I don't agree anything there was overly negative or demeaning, it was all healthy satire. We don't have to hold every single developer event to the same standards as a Microsoft developer conference (which themselves don't always set high standards [1]). There are pla…
I don't believe that the difference is serious vs non-serious events. It's pretty clear that no company or group would dare to create a light hearted hackathon featuring sexual content, if it hadn't been proposed first by a progressive cause (in this case mocking startup culture for being a White cishet male bubble). And Microsoft apologized for that song[0]. Note that this event is sponsored by real tech companies.…
The Intellectual Babes Calendar is objectifying men, but I think by parodying and creating awareness for objectifying females it is still a net positive for society. That may change at some point, but that's why we view things in context.
You are obviously right that there is a lot of sexual content, and that that Hackathon was an industry event. But as long as everybody is aware of that when visiting the Hackathon, I fail to see any harm in that. This isn't even sex-deprived male cisgender nerds, most of the sexual content is created by females of various ethnicities.
Saying that sexual content is inappropriate during all work/industry related events seems overly broad to me. After all, our industry is diverse and even includes respected companies like pornhub. There are bound to be people in this industry who are very comfortable with sexual content, and it's not my place to judge them for expressing that in an appropriate context.
I never quite got why it's ok for the stupid hackathon projects to be negative, demeaning, and have NSFW content, even though these things are completely verboten in every other tech event. Is there some kind of certification[0] that the hackathon organizers got to be allowed to do this? EDIT: [0] What I meant was that it is as if organizations like this hackathon have some kind of certification that allows them to h…
Hi, founders of the Stupid Shit No One Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon (AKA "Stupid Hackathon") here, and yes we do have a certificate, linked below for future reference. http://i.imgur.com/8Qp91cE.gif

Saying the Stupid Font makes fun of mental health/development issues seems like a stretch. Being stupid is a broad term. Sometimes I do stupid things (as all humans do), and in that moment I am stupid. It's not exactly a medical term. The Intellectual Babes Calendar is objectifying men, but I think by parodying and creating awareness for objectifying females it is still a net positive for society. That may change at…
That's precisely my point. I don't think that it's ok that we have one set of standards for sex-deprived male cisgender nerds, and another for women of various ethnicities.

That just highlights more hypocrisy. If you are against objectification, how can you consider the porn industry respectable?
This would be quite funny if it had not been attempted seriously in a major Gnu project already! Check out the SHAMELESS Ole Tange and his bizarre attempts to simultaneously force people to obey academic citations while at the same offering you the chance to throw the academic process in the bin for a mere 10000 EUR payment to him. I wish I was joking. GNU Nagware! It literally nags you with a warning message every t…
Does any distro keep that in their packages?

They are certified to produce software at Level 3 Free Speech as laid out in ISO 4328. Compliance was verified at great cost by Certified Enterprise Thought Inspectors from McKinsey, Bain and Boston.
The key to being a good hacker is to make sure everyone is OK with what you're doing before you do it, and the organizers are very responsible in that regard.

Guess what: not everyone finds these sorts of things offensive. If a company that was trying to appeal to a very broad audience attempted something like this, sure, they'd be crucified (and I wouldn't be surprised or find anything wrong with that outcome). But events like these target the sorts of irreverent people who enjoy this type of humor. If you don't get it or find it offensive, I'm sure they don't really care…
